Making Money Was the Easiest?

"Yes. I am a guy. Disappointed because I'm a guy, right? Sorry about that."

Lead with a quick apology.

This was the first viewer who'd come in after waiting a full ten minutes.

They hadn't left, but the chat was dead silent.

Just say something. Anything.

If I went quiet too just because it was awkward, we were screwed.

"You're not leaving because I'm a guy, right? It's Sunday night — what are you up to?"

With a packed room, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠you couldn't run a stream like this. But right now there was only one viewer, so a one-on-one conversation actually worked.

"Ah. Yeah. I'd love it if you called me oppa."

Huh? Girlfriend, out of nowhere?

Alright. Time to earn some goodwill.

"Nope. I don't. If you've got a friend, introduce me sometime. I've been lonely lately~"

Right then, another viewer joined.

"Hi, nice to meet you. Of course guys play LoL. What, only girls are allowed to play?"

Ah, what the hell. Why did the vibe suddenly turn like this.

"Hey, you two, don't fight. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠And my name is Sihyun, by the way. Just call me Sihyun-oppa."

"Ah. Me? I'm twenty-six. How old are you guys?"

Viewers started pouring in all of a sudden.

"Thank you for the ₩1,000 donation, HeadacheToothacheThrobbingPussyAche-nim."

Oh! Hell yeah.

I'd just gotten a thousand won in donations.

Should I do a reaction?

Yeah, just throw out any reaction. That way I'd get more donations.

"I got a whole thousand won, so I'll do a little reaction."

The chat went quiet.

Ah, I'd already said I'd do a reaction, but... do what?

Nothing was coming to mind.

Ah, right.

The stream title was Teemo, so I could sing the Teemo song and throw in some choreography.

I had the Teemo song memorized, at least.

Whew. Exhausting.

Awkward as hell.

Still, for some reason my body felt lighter than usual, so I figured I'd done pretty well.

Chat was quiet, though.

Haa. Guess the reaction was a flop.

Whoa! Just from doing a reaction, a whole three thousand won had rolled in.

Being drop-dead gorgeous really did make Twinch streaming viable.

The money was literally multiplying itself.

Push while the momentum's hot.

A little more and I might even crack ten thousand.

"Thank you for the donations, IWearBras-nim, FindingNemo-nim, RockfishWhyRockfish-nim. If I do reactions too often you'll get sick of them, so I'll save the next one for a bit later. Cool?"

"Ah, I'm not banning anyone. Everyone calm down. You're gonna ban people just for saying a few dirty things? Besides... it's kind of lively and fun, honestly."

Lively and fun, my ass......

Even I could tell I was spouting absolute nonsense just to scrape up some donation money.

Then an unexpected whale appeared.

HUH!!

Ten thousand won!

Ten thousand won was what you'd earn from a full hour of hard labor at a part-time job.

Was it really okay to take this kind of massive money just for singing and dancing once?

I shot up out of my seat.

"I will give this Teemo song everything I've got!"

As a bonus, I gave my hips a little shake.

For ten thousand won, not shaking my ass wasn't even an option.

I bowed my head deep in gratitude.

"Thank you! RudolfBigTits-nim. Sniff. With this, I'm definitely buying myself some delicious fried chicken."

But when I bowed my head—

Apparently a little of my chest had shown through the hoodie.

The room caught fire.

Viewers started flooding in nonstop.

What had been barely ten viewers ballooned to two hundred.

Uh. What do I do about this.

Today I'd just planned to stream for a bit and earn enough for fried chicken.

But people kept coming in.

I really needed to start wrapping up soon.

"Everyone, I think I need to end the stream in a little bit. I've got work tomorrow, so I need to sleep."

Haa. My head was spinning.

Still, this was a hundred times better than when I'd streamed back in my old world.

Back then I'd just gotten endlessly roasted by other guys.

HUH! Another big spender.

Time for a reaction.

"Yes sir! (•‾̑⌔‾̑•)ノ That's right! Welcome. Tha... thank you for the ₩10,000 donation, DickRidingSoonsil-nim."

The username was a little much.

But she'd donated ten thousand won, so.

Ah? The hoodie?

Well, it was summer and I was wearing a hoodie.

Plus my place didn't even have air conditioning.

I was pretty hot, honestly.

And for ten thousand won, taking off a hoodie was nothing.

"Aigoo. Thank you for the ₩10,000 donation from our big whale DickRidingSoonsil-nim. If big-spender Soonsil-nim says take it off, then I take it off!"

Come on, it was just taking off a hoodie — why were they losing their minds like this?

I still had a white short-sleeve shirt underneath.

I boldly yanked the hoodie off and tossed it aside.
