Chapter Title: Food Date with SpringSummer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-Sorry for the late reply. No real requests. Just keep up the good broadcasts as is.
Lee Hyunwoo sent a safe, neutral response.
And he meant it sincerely.
He didn't have any particular demands for Jeong So-rim.
Well, he did, but she'd shot them down cold.
So it was better to let it go and stick with the cashback deals.
The leverage in the cashback game was firmly in his court anyway.
-Unemployed King, let's meet. I'll do a food date. When's a good day for you?
"Huh?"
A few minutes later, Lee Hyunwoo tilted his head at Jeong So-rim's KakaoTalk message.
Why the sudden change in attitude?
She'd acted like food dates were absolutely off the table.
'Did she think I was playing hard to get... or that she'd been pushing me away too much?'
Only now did he recall her behavior during the broadcast.
After turning down the food date, she'd desperately called out to him.
Meanwhile, he'd lost all interest, barely tossing coins or chatting.
He'd even opened a multitab mid-broadcast to watch someone else.
Reading her messages on sight and replying a full day later had probably helped shift things too.
"Oh ho..."
Lee Hyunwoo's eyes sparkled.
She must be that desperate, right?
Whatever her circumstances or pride, she didn't want to do a food date.
But she needed his coin power.
Play this right, and he might just score.
-Yeah?
-Didn't you say food dates make you uncomfortable?
-If you're forcing yourself despite that, I'm fine with it.
He tossed out a light pushback first.
Like a fisherman angling for a big catch, Lee Hyunwoo waited for the bite.
-I... think I was wrong.
-You're the Chairman, so I should've given you special treatment.
-I let my stupid pride get in the way. Sorry.
She bit.
The haughty Jeong So-rim had firmly taken the money bait.
He could feel it.
Reel her in smooth, and she'd be his.
-Alright then?
-Good call. I'm free anytime.
-I'll match your schedule, So-rim.
-How about tonight?
-I was planning to go dark today anyway.
-See you then.
The meeting was set.
She might play hard to get once they met, but Lee Hyunwoo wasn't worried.
Now he had not just coins but plenty of real cash ammo too.
No matter how pricey she acted, Jeong So-rim was a woman with a hunger for money.
In the end, she'd crumble before him.
'Jeong So-rim's sorted. Now for the rest...'
Lee Hyunwoo pulled out his notepad and sketched out a weekly schedule.
-Daytime broadcasts: Ppangit, Darling, Jeong So-rim
-Evening broadcasts: Yeoujjing, SpringSummer
-Night broadcasts: Park Haneul
Notes: Darling on long hiatus (1-2 weeks)
-Fri // Day: Ppangit, Eve: Yeoujjing, Night: Jeong So-rim (food date) // SpringSummer (multi)

-Sun // Day: Ppangit or Jeong So-rim, Eve: Yeoujjing, Night: Hwasun (greeting) // SpringSummer (multi)
……...
-Good work today. Got an evening appointment, so I'm heading out early.
That evening, while watching Yeoujjing's broadcast, Lee Hyunwoo fired off his exit coins.
Not a bad day.
Finished his workout, back at the hotel for some spa time and a staycation vibe.
Lounging in his room, treated like a Chairman.
And tonight, a date with a woman who'd make any guy drool.
"Whoa? Unemployed oppa? Leaving already? You know today's only the third time you've dropped by in forever, right? Has your affection cooled off already?"
Yeoujjing hit him with superhuman puppy eyes, whining clingily.
Her fox-like coquetry tugged at a man's heart in the weirdest way.
He almost felt like canceling and staying put.
-Sorry. Important appointment. But I dropped a ton of coins today, so forgive me.
"Hnggg. Okay. I'll let it slide just this once. But visit more often, okay? The stream feels so empty without you, oppa. Got it? Mwah. Mwah. Mwah."
Yeoujjing blew a barrage of air kisses to see him off.
As Lee Hyunwoo closed the broadcast and headed out, a KakaoTalk from her popped up.
-(Photo)
-Oppa, do whatever, but don't neglect me♡
-Haven't met any other guys since you.
-Pussy's lonelyyy♡
Yeoujjing had snapped a selfie mid-broadcast.
Not her face—a shot of her pussy.
Legs spread during the stream, panties pulled aside just enough.
Hastily taken, focus blurry, most of it obscured.
But that made it all the more sexy and tantalizing.
"Hahaha. What a tease."
Lee Hyunwoo let out a hearty, pleased laugh.
Yeoujjing was a true vixen.
She knew exactly how to make a man feel good.
'Gonna need to buy a car soon.'
Riding the hotel-called taxi, Lee Hyunwoo mused.
Couldn't keep looking cheap, riding cabs forever.
Now pulling in 100 million a month, a dream car was no issue.
Cars had solid financing anyway.
36-month installments, and even Porsche, BMW, Audi were within reach.
'Car shopping tomorrow?'
Sounds good.
Hit up some foreign car dealers, buy some clothes too.
Which meant...
-Shopping tomorrow?
Needed someone to tag along.
Honestly, his taste in style was zilch.
So he messaged Yeoujjing.
She replied instantly, mid-broadcast.
-For real?
-Gonna buy me something?
-Thanks oppa♡♡♡♡
-Buying a car, wanna check out showrooms.
-And grab some clothes while I'm at it.
-Recommend stuff that'd suit me.
-Perfect!
-Already eyed some new drops that'd look great on you.
-We can hit the department store together.
-Oh, and I want these shoes...
-I'll get 'em.
-As expected, my oppa!
-Thanks oppa♡
-Love you♡♡♡♡♡
Love you came so easy.
Lately, women tossed it at him left and right.
He didn't buy it as real, but it still felt nice.
Without infinite coins, hearing it from beauties like Lee Ye-rin or Kim Hana wouldn't bum him out.
A high-end Cheongdam restaurant.
Tipped off by a group chat bigwig.
Reservation-only spot that didn't take same-day bookings normally.
But the recommender owned a hefty stake, so they squeezed him in.
True to the price tag, the entrance vibe was insane.
"Unemployed King... sorry, this place looks way too pricey..."
"Don't sweat it. I'm covering. And how long you gonna call me Unemployed King? I mentioned it last time too."
"Ah, sorry. Hyunwoo. Not used to this, keeps slipping into stream talk."
"You'll get the hang of it. Shall we?"
The screaming-luxury interior had Jeong So-rim on edge.
Lee Hyunwoo was tense too—first time here—but played it cool.
The group chat whale had pre-ordered the menu for them.
Even as a rich guy now, he'd never splurged here, so it was a courtesy.
"Wine?"
"Booze is kinda..."
"Too bad. I know the owner a bit. He prepped some killer expensive wine since I booked."
Won't get to try it now."
"Ah! You drink it then, Hyunwoo."
"Nah, no fun solo. Either we both drink, or we both stay sober."
Jeong So-rim pondered, then nodded.
"O-okay, just one glass..."
"Hear that? Wine for two, one glass each."
"Yes, sir."
The waiter setting the table bowed politely.
Pricey spot—waiters rivaled hotel staff.
"...'
Lee Hyunwoo eyed Jeong So-rim chugging water, nerves burning her up.
Same as her stream look.
Pretty, but plain compared to the other female cam broadcasters he saw.
But that wasn't why he'd picked her.
Even in that loose blouse, her massive tits couldn't be hidden.
Tits as big as a face.
Tits that demanded attention.
Yeah, those huge tits were insanely hot.
"Pretty nervous?"
"Huh? Y-yeah, a little."
"Relax. It's just a place people eat. The shop should be sweating more than the paying customer. We're the guests here."
The fancy spot wasn't the issue for Jeong So-rim.
Sure, first time at such a ritzy restaurant, it weighed on her—but not enough to shrink like this.
More like guilt over ditching her boyfriend for a food date.
And figuring how to turn down bed without pissing off Lee Hyunwoo.
Those two had her tense.
The waiter returned with the wine bottle.
Red wine filled the glasses.
Lee Hyunwoo grabbed his casually.
"No wine expert here. It's a date with you, plus helping out a buddy's sales. So let's chill and sip. Cheers."
"Ch-cheers..."
Glasses clinked mid-air.
A clear chaaang rang out.
Jeong So-rim brought her glass tentatively to her lips.
And sipped the red wine.
"Mm...!"
Her tense eyes flew wide.
Sweet tartness flooded nose and mouth.
A contradictory phrase.
Tartness meant sour, yet sweet tartness?
But the wine held that paradox.
Sour yet sweet, deep aroma blooming.
Never got wine before, but damn, pricey stuff hit different.
"Huh, way better than expected? Didn't know wine could taste this good."
"Your first time too, Hyunwoo?"
"Yeah. Told ya, first time at a place like this. Prefer draft beer over wine anyway."
"Ahaha, really?"
Jeong So-rim laughed for the first time.
Good food and booze melted tension, as always.
Her nerves eased a bit, and conversation flowed.
Surprisingly, Jeong So-rim found Lee Hyunwoo pretty normal.
Her bias that rich guys were worlds apart from regular folk shattered.
Chatting away, wine glasses refilled—one, two, more.
Paired perfect with the food, great company—no stopping now.
