Internet Broadcast
Maru had no particular reason to pack his bags since he was just going home, but he briefly went into Nuri’s room.
“Yo.”
“Eek! What the—!”
Real siblings didn’t bother caring about each other’s privacy at all.
“What’s up. You’re broadcasting?”
“A! I told you not to come in without knocking!!”
“I did. You just didn’t hear it.”
“If you don’t answer, you can’t just come in!”
“That’s not my problem.”
-What? Who is it?
-Looks like oppa
-Sister-in-law is here ㄷㄷ
[Naram-nim has donated 1000 starlight.]
-Oppa! Give your little sister to me!
“Take her.”
-Wah. Damn, I’m envious.
-She’s my wife.
The broadcast was unexpected, but it wasn’t a big deal. Cheon Ma-ru had appeared on a few streams before.
“While the broadcast is live… ha… so what’s the matter?”
“I forgot.”
This was real. While staring at the chat of the internet broadcast for the first time in a while, he had completely forgotten what he was about to say.
“No way… huh? If it’s oppa, then unni’s here too?”
“Oh right. Yeah. I came to tell you that.”
“For real?!”
[Suriranseongeom-nim has donated 1000 starlight.]
-Who came? Special guest?
“No. Not a guest. Just an ordinary person. Everyone, that’s it for today’s broadcast~.”
-Huh?
-We’re being abandoned?!
-Me?
-I feel like he wants to ditch me.
-Me?
-Rok?
-Me?
-Maman… we’re cold…
-Rok?
-Rok?
“Hey! I wrote on the broadcast that today’s stream is short!”
-Uuu, I don’t even know how to read this text.
-I didn’t know he’d ditch us in thirty minutes just because it said “short.”
-Me?
-Rok?
-Hmm?
-Sit down and listen nicely.
[Clock has donated 1000 starlight since dawn.]
-Why can’t even this person be invited to the stream?
“Because they’re an ordinary person! Anyway, today we’re ending it here!”
“Why not keep broadcasting? You’ll have a hard time playing with her.”
“What?! Why?!”
“Why? Where did we even plan to go—Gwangalli Beach?”
“Aaaah!! The broadcast isn’t even over!!”
Ma-ru, who watched broadcasts often but had never hosted one, was making such simple mistakes.
-I already bought KTX tickets.
-If you’re going to Gwangalli, can you sign for me?
“Ah… no. We weren’t planning to go with them anyway. We came to play with me and my friends.”
-Friends?
-A guy?
-Oppa?
-If it’s oppa’s friend, it’s a guy.
-They said unni, so it must be a girl.
“That’s a secret…”
“Ha… anyway, where’s our unni?”
“She’s busy right now. And how long have you known her?”
“Hah. I’m really close to unni.”
“You’re closer to me, right? If you keep acting cute with her—”
“…Have you seen unni being cute?”
“I— hey?!”
“This guy!!”
-What? Is this a love triangle?
-A sibling fight over one woman. This is precious.
-At this point, I really want to know about that unni.
-Shameless alpha female mail ㄷㄷ
While Cheon Ma-ru and Cheon Nuri’s ridiculously cheesy body-slam fight was being broadcast live.
“Hey, Ma-ru. Can I ask something… huh?”
Suddenly Baek Arang walked in.
“Unni?!”
“Eh? Arang-ah! You’re streaming right now—”
“What do you mean by saying my name?! How?!”
-Waa.
-Hahaha.
-What kind of appearance is this?
-You have a wide heart.
-Extreme.
-Insane.
-Rok?
-Extreme?
-Rok?
-At this level you can definitely win over sisters…
“What in the world… huh?”
It was only now that Baek Arang realized this was Nuri’s room and the stream was live.
***
“Is it really okay? If you’re uncomfortable, we can stop right now…”
“It’s fine! I’ve always wanted to try something like this and it’s actually fun!”
“Live… 2,300 viewers… wow…”
The flow started with my surprise appearance and turned into the entire study group going live. It was a group stream thanks to Chae-eun’s curiosity after she came running over from the noise.
“…Sorry. I made a lot of mistakes.”
“Well, there are days like that. Don’t worry about it.”
It seemed Maru was bothered that he had revealed his name and the place they were going to.
“Anyway, if you say something weird to the people who came to visit today, the ban won’t end.”
-Huh?
-Suing declaration ㄷㄷ
-Can we have an offline fan meeting?
“Wah… the chat speed is insane…”
“It’s not usually this fast.”
Nuri, who is normally quiet, explained things lightly to a surprised unni while Chae-eun stared at the broadcast screen with huge interest. When you think about it, Chae-eun would probably do well if she ever went live.
[Chuchu-nim has donated 10,000 starlight.]
-Could you do a quick self-introduction?
“Ah! I’m Kim Chae-eun. I’m a first-year at the Academy. Eh? Is it okay to say that?”
“No big problem. Oppa going to the Academy is common knowledge.”
“Hee~. Anyway, I’m a fresh-faced twenty-year-old!”
“Gu… I’m Heo Yeon-hwa…”
“I’m Baek Arang. Nice to meet you.”
-Waaaa.
-But everyone’s beauty is insane.
-So oppa’s going on a beach trip with all these beautiful girls?
-Eh?
-Hah?
-Kill him!!
-Throwing pebbles at him.
“You viewers are envious?”
“It’s enviable. The unnis’ appearances aren’t normal.”
“Haha. Thanks. By the way…”
My room is full. Posters, figures, acrylic stands—everything is Baekwol merch.
“So… Baekwol has made so much merch?”
If you’re making merch, you should have asked for permission. I have my likeness rights. But did I really give permission?
“Ah, some of them I made myself.”
“You made them?”
“Some are order-made, but a few are my original designs.”
“Waaah…”
-Baekwol otaku appeared.
-An ultra-loyal Baekwol lover.
-At this level it’s not love anymore.
-Even love at this level is a crime.
-She probably thinks that’s something to brag about.
“Haha… anyway, what do you usually do on broadcast? I can’t watch live.”
Ever since we met, I’ve been watching YouTube a lot. It’s fun.
“Eh? You two know each other?”
“Yeah. We met once recently.”
“We’ve already done the bare minimum intro. Why did you bring us over this time—cough!”
“Chae-eun, you’ll have to go back to kindergarten. Lying is bad.”
-?
-They’re dating?
-Look at that face. Any guy would be fine with it.
-Throwing pebbles at you ツツ.
[Clock has donated 1000 starlight since dawn.]
-Unicorn horn is breaking.
“No, it’s not like that. We’re just close friends. And I don’t even have a boyfriend right now.”
“Ah, I don’t have a boyfriend either! I’m looking for one right now!”
“I don’t have a boyfriend either…”
“Why are you all explaining that you don’t have a boyfriend?”
That’s right. Why is everyone explaining they don’t have a boyfriend?
[Starlight Nuriho-nim has donated 30,000 starlight.]
-Really, everyone’s incredibly beautiful. Today’s MC, please leave gracefully.
“This is my stream?!”
“Ah, you know that? Arang originally wears glasses, but she’s not wearing them today. How’s it look? Pretty, right?”
-Jjeong out!
-But this person would look pretty with glasses too.
-I’ll buy the glasses I used to wear.
She’s asking that after knowing how expensive they were. They’re already broken anyway.
Anyway, the chaotic broadcast finally calmed down after thirty minutes.
[Kotamyeongnan-nim has donated 10,000 starlight.]
-But how did you two meet?
“We got together by chance for a group project. Then we started studying together and got close.”
[Wildehunt-nim has donated 1000 starlight.]
-Can I ask about ranks?
“No. That’s rude to hunters.”
[Yeongwoni-yeonsik-haranim has donated 1000 starlight.]
-If you go to the beach, are you wearing a swimsuit?
“Yes. We all bought them together this time.”
“…Chae-eun. Have you done a broadcast?”
“No? This is the first time.”
But she’s doing it so skillfully.
-At this level she could actually go live.
-You? You have talent.
-MC, you need a new face soon.
“Speaking of which, Nuri. What were you planning to do for this live?”
YouTube mostly had simple cooking or games. Songs and cooking sometimes too, but rarely.
“Well… I was going to play a game.”
“What game?”
“Hell Company… it’s not weird at all…”
“Eh? You play that too?”
“I learned it from him. He’s a real hardcore user. He’s been playing since the early days of the previous game.”
“Why… eh? Does unni play?”
Did I give off the impression I don’t play games? I’m not a true gamer, but I do enjoy it sometimes.
“I play a lot. I like anime too. I even buy and collect merch.”
“Wah. For real?”
-Wah, a big-breasted otaku beauty.
-A rarer species than a unicorn.
-You? Accepted as my future wife.
-You’re rejected.
-T_T.
“Oppa, you still don’t play Hell Company? Do you play other games?”
“I haven’t had much time lately.”
“What about the friends you used to game with? Some said they live alone in Seoul.”
“…Sometimes I play at home.”
“That’s a lie. This oppa has no friends except us.”
“Evidence?”
“Evidence is probably with Arang.”
“You’re right. You don’t have any friends.”
“Have you seen it?”
Why does she keep lying so obviously? I couldn’t possibly not know.
“Is she trying to trick the neighbor next door? I’m the one who cleans her house. How could I invite friends over?”
“Eh?”
“Right?”
“…Ah.”
-?
-Neighbor next door?
-Wah, oppa is so envious.
-A big-breasted otaku beauty next door cleans the house?
-Life is so unfair.
-Let’s reset life~
…Why am I doing this.
