Collab Stream (5)
I turned on the stream and immediately froze. 'S-Serious? I just turned it on and there are already ten thousand people?'
"Hello everyone~"
Unlike me, who was stiff as a board, Danbalqueen smiled with her eyes and greeted the chat naturally.
The chat was so cringey from the very start that I had a hard time adjusting. 'I really do feel more comfortable speaking casually instead of formally.'
"I invited this person because I personally wanted to meet her once. Go ahead and introduce yourself."
"Yes! Hello everyone, I'm that very Tteongi. Nice to meet you~"
Today, my viewers' messages seemed especially welcoming.
My viewers were honestly embarrassing to show in public...
"Sigh..."
"I'm sorry, Danbalqueen-nim."
"It's fine. I watch your streams often, so I was expecting this much."
"Oh... As expected of the number one..."
"Since Tteongi-nim's viewers are quite... wild, I'll allow casual speech. However, I will ban anyone who uses profanity."
Watching the completely opposite chats flying by, I laughed until I could barely breathe.
"Hahaha! This is so funny I'm gonna die."
I checked the viewer count while I was at it. Over twelve thousand people were watching this stream!
"Wow~ We've already passed twelve thousand viewers."
"I don't really pay attention to viewer count. As long as people who like me are watching, I'm satisfied."
"That's way too fake."
From earlier, it felt like she was hiding her true self.
"I have no intention of interfering with how you choose to interpret things."
ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won! I'll use it well. Hey hey Tteongi, because of you I'm even donating to Danbalqueen. Danbalqueen, take good care of Tteongi, okay?
"Hey, if you say stuff like that for just a thousand won it makes me look pathetic!"
DanbalqueenSubscriber donated 100,000 won! I'll use it well. It's my first time seeing the Queen do a collab so it's fascinating hehe. Please make the stream fun~
"Wow! A hundred thousand won!"
"Thank you for the hundred thousand. I'll use it well."
"R-reaction! What should I do?"
I was so flustered by the huge amount that I shot up from my seat.
"You don't have to. I don't really like reaction streams."
"But then it feels like I'm eating for free..."
"Just work harder to match what you've received."
LocalS-ClassTopTierTteongi donated 1,000 won! I'll use it well. Tteongi stop acting like a hako and sit down
"Shut up!!"
Did I just yell in someone else's stream? That was unnecessary.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay."
I sat back down politely.
"Huh? I was about to do a twerking bit but that chance just flew away."
"The reason I'm collabing is because I wanted to learn more about Tteongi-nim. It's only been two weeks since she started streaming, yet she's already receiving the platform's full attention."
"I do have superstar potential, don't I?"
"That's right. So how about we take some time to answer questions from the chat? Is that okay?"
"Ooh~ Is that the first segment? Sounds fun."
"Behave in chat! This isn't my stream, you know!"
"Manager-nim, please ban all of those people."
"My chest size is 70H."
"I am Korean..."
WhiteTShirtWithBlackBeanNoodles donated 1,000 won! I'll use it well. Tteongi, is it okay to say bad words here too?
"You'll get banned immediately so hold back... And save the donations for my own stream..."
DanbalQueenAJAJA donated 100,000 won! I'll use it well. Danbalqueen fans! Show your firepower!
"Please ban 'DanQueenDan is disgusting.' Thank you for the hundred thousand."
She had already received two hundred thousand won yet her expression remained completely calm... Was a gold spoon just streaming as a hobby?
"What would be a good question next... This one looks good. They're asking what my ideal type is."
"I'd like someone with a nice body and a pretty girl."
"Hmm~ A girl, you say..."
"No no, that was a mistake! A mistake!"
StopMoving donated 1,000 won! From today onward I'll call her PC-Tteongi
"You sons of bitches! Don't call me that!"
Oh crap! I wasn't supposed to swear on this stream!
"..."
The moment I finished speaking, I checked Danbalqueen's expression. She was making a subtle face, as if holding back her anger.
"I'm sorry..."
"No, she's actually very charming."
"Thank you..."
TteongiIsAnIdiot donated 1,000 won! I'll use it well. Queen please don't get mad lololol qㅠㅠㅠ Is this okay?
"Now that I think about it, why are you called the Queen?"
"They saw that I'm the Short Hair 'Queen' and gave me the title."
"Give me a cool title like Queen too!"
"You should wish for something more realistic..."
"Shall we take more questions then, Tteongi-nim?"
"Ah, yes! Please ask away."
The chat was once again flooded with questions. I read them one by one and answered.
"Favorite food? I like anything greasy! I do mukbangs often so please come watch~ Am I good at games? I'll try doing game streams soon! Please come watch."
"Aww~ Don't be like that. Please come visit my stream too."
When the questions were almost over, Danbalqueen looked at me and spoke.
"Shall we end the stream here?"
"Huk! Already?"
"Now that I think about it, you said you had something to tell me."
"Yes."
"Thank you everyone for watching until the end."
"Everyone please please come to my stream at least once!"
The stream ended. At the same time, I heard Danbalqueen let out a long sigh.
"Huu..."
"Was the stream really hard because of me? I'm sorry."
"No, it's not the stream... Still, I was considerate of you."
"Huh?"
The strange atmosphere that had been flowing from Danbalqueen since earlier grew even more prickly.
"I was originally going to say this the moment we met. I was being considerate so the collab would go well."
"What exactly were you trying to say all of a sudden..."
"You're the one I sued before, aren't you?"
"...!"
My heart sank. Cold sweat began pouring down my entire body. The most terrifying part was how she even knew about it. For now, I decided to play dumb.
"W-what are you talking about..."
"If you're going to act like that, I'll just tell you. During your broadcast, I saw the video of police and a married couple breaking into your house."
She saw that...?
"The woman's appearance and clothes were exactly the same as the lady who came to ask for a settlement back then. During your explanation broadcast, you called that person Mom."
"..."
"I looked to see if there was a sister, but the only child was a son."
I swallowed dryly, tense.
"What exactly are you?"
"..."
What do I do? From Danbalqueen's perspective, the guy she sued suddenly turned into a woman and started internet broadcasting. This was all because of the malicious comments I left in the past. Who knew the karma from those malicious comments would be this huge...
"T-that is..."
There was no way my parents or anyone would believe I had gender reassignment surgery. Besides, if I had undergone surgery, there should still be some trace of my male body left for it to make sense.
'Then what excuse should I give?'
My brain was overloaded, so I just blurted out whatever came to mind.
"I'm Tteongi."
Danbalqueen looked at me with a disgusted expression.
"I'm sorry..."
"Tell me the truth. Or I'll make this public."
"..."
I couldn't come up with any plausible excuse. With no other choice, I told her the truth that I had been TS'd.
"When I woke up one day, I had been TS'd..."
Without knowing what kind of result that would bring.
"TS? You mean you woke up and had become a woman?"
"Yes... It might be hard to believe but..."
"I have no choice but to believe it. Your behavior that unconsciously treats yourself like a man, and the fact that the person I sued became a perfect woman. If it's not TS, there's no way to explain this situation."
Once again, the atmosphere changed. Danbalqueen looked at me and gave a sinister smile.
"So... you became a woman, huh?"
"W-why are you looking at me like that?"
That expression that looked like she was about to do something at any moment. This was dangerous. I needed to get out of here quickly.
'But what if she reveals my secret on stream?'
While I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Danbalqueen grabbed my wrist.
"If I expose this fact, it'd be a huge problem, wouldn't it?"
"W-wouldn't people just think it's nonsense...?"
"Do you really think that? Even with this much evidence?"
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn't come up with a good solution. Should I offer her money?
"If this becomes known, your daily life will become impossible, not just streaming. TS? It's an unprecedented situation. All kinds of scientists will follow you around, won't they?"
Listening to Danbalqueen, the future automatically played out in my head.
'What do I do? Is my second life ending here? Fuck, I shouldn't have started streaming!!'
"I'll do anything, so please keep it a secret..."
"You'll really do anything?"
Wait a second. This situation feels familiar.
"Then call me Queen."
I felt a twinge of disappointment, thinking she had created this scary atmosphere just to make me say that.
'Normally this would lead to sex, right?'
Maybe even if I was pretty, since we were both women, she might not be interested unless she was a lesbian.
"Yes... Queen."
Since I never had even a speck of pride to begin with, I made the most servile expression possible to please her. If I could keep my secret with just one word, it was a cheap price to pay.
"And everything that will happen from now on is a secret between the two of us."
"Huh?"
Without giving me any time to prepare, she pressed her lips against mine.
