Deciding on Stream Content
After finishing lunch, Mina, Minjeong, and Minji gathered together to talk about the upcoming broadcast.
My main reason for attracting viewers is my appearance, but I can't rely on looks alone. The biggest problem with my stream is that I still haven't decided on any content.
The biggest issue is worrying every single day what kind of stream I should do next.
Of course, some fixed viewers will come, but if they get tired of my looks and find the stream boring, they might start leaving one by one.
To prevent that, I need to find content to feature on my stream.
"I have a concern about my stream."
"I know what you're talking about. Content issue?"
"Yeah."
My friends already knew the problems with my stream well.
Since this was my first attempt at internet broadcasting, I wanted to reference other streams.
The streams I mostly watched were game-related, but the problem was my gaming skill was terrible.
So, with my skill level, a game-centered internet stream would be tough.
Still, I planned to try game streaming occasionally.
"Today, I'm thinking of playing the Animal Kingdom mobile game."
"Ah, that's popular. We do that too."
"Yeah. I'm starting from today."
I planned to stream for about two hours after school on weekdays, but yesterday's stream was really like eating for free.
It was just eating tteokbokki, yet I got a thousand viewers and a lot of donations.
Since yesterday was the first stream, it was a special case, so from today I couldn't expect even one-tenth of yesterday's donations.
Still, because of WeTube, I thought there would be plenty left after paying my friends' salaries.
"I did get inflows thanks to my looks, but I don't think viewers will keep coming just because of my appearance."
"Do you really think that?"
"Viewers will get used to me if they keep watching, and they might get tired of my looks?"
My friends looked at me with disbelief.
It's true.
No matter how cute my appearance is, even cute things can get tiring after a while, right?
"Tiring? If my face gets tired, even you girls would get tired the moment you see me."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
"There's no way my looks will get tired while streaming."
"If you say it like that, I'm happy, but..."
Getting tired the moment you see? Honestly, isn't that not the case?
Your twins are pretty enough to look at.
Mina is outstanding, but you two also have idol-like appearances.
You're too self-deprecating.
"Anyway, my looks are too fake, so there's no chance of getting tired."
"Yeah. Rather, you became even cuter than before, how could you get tired?"
"Thanks. Minjeong-ah, Minji-ya. But you two are pretty enough too. You should get used to it."
"Thanks. Jiyoung-ah."
"Thanks. Jiyoung."
Minjeong and Minji said while stroking my hair.
From Mina, all three of them—Mina, Minjeong, Minji—loved skinship.
Thanks to Mina, I had gotten used to it and liked skinship with close people.
So I wasn't surprised by the sudden hair stroking and continued the conversation.
"My stream will be within two hours after school."
"I think that's the most appropriate. I have to go to school and need time to edit."
"If the stream gets too long, WeTube editing will take time too, and I agree."
Streamers with many viewers have time because their main job is internet streaming.
But in my case, since I'm a student, streaming more than two hours a day is tough.
Even more so for the editing friends who are also students.
Above all, Mina is coming to our house to help me, so if the stream gets long, Mina's arrival time will be late.
Yesterday, since it was the first stream, I went to Mina's house to stream, but from today it's different.
So Mina brought all the streaming equipment from home.
That's why Mina's bag is full of streaming equipment.
"By the way, do you know what kind of streams other people are doing?"
"Usually, there are a lot of game streams."
"Games... I really suck at games."
Is it really necessary to do games to do internet streaming?
Viewers who see me gaming might tease me.
Since my mentality isn't strong, if viewers tease, I might force myself to play.
"If I game, I'll be terrible at it. Viewers might watch and tease or leave saying it's boring."
"I think rather than that, it'll be fun because it's cute."
"When gaming, my cam will be small, so I won't concentrate on the game?"
I have watched game streams often, and when watching game streams, my eyes don't go to the cam.
Perhaps, even if I game, viewers will focus on the game more than my cam, and with my poor skill, they'll tease or leave saying it's boring.
Occasionally gaming is fine, but it was insufficient as main content.
In the end, to continue streaming, I need content.
"What about doing an eating show? Yesterday it was really cute."
"Eating show also needs to end within thirty minutes a day, so ultimately need content for more than one hour."
"We've just started, so I think we're lacking a lot. I think we'll develop little by little."
Mina, Minjeong, and Minji thought carefully about content.
In the end, the only thing I can do for streaming is communicating with viewers.
"I think it's better to mainly do communication streams."
"I think so too. Jiyoung's biggest weapon is cuteness."
"Yeah. Even if I game, I'll focus more on Jiyoung than the game?"
In the end, after talking with friends about various things, the content I will actually do is only communicating with viewers.
It's literally a stream where I eat for free.
That was the stream I could do at the moment.
"By the way, we have something to ask you, Jiyoung."
"Yeah. I hope you do it."
"Yeah. What is it?"
Minjeong and Minji asking me something was the first time.
Thinking about them, it wouldn't be asking to borrow money.
Of course, even if asking to borrow money, I would lend within the money I have.
"We were tired from editing yesterday. We need healing."
"Yeah. I hope we get healing sometimes."
"Then I'll do it first. Lying on my lap would be nice. I was really envious of Mina."
"That's fine. Okay."
Minjeong put her head on my lap and gently stroked my hair.
Since it was a very simple request, I easily fulfilled Minjeong's request.
I wasn't sleepy, but I lay there feeling Minjeong's touch.
"Stroking such a pretty head like this. If I just sleep like this, it would be better."
"I'm not sleepy at all. I'll try to sleep."
I tried to sleep as requested by Minjeong, but after eating lunch and drinking coffee milk, I wasn't sleepy at all.
Still, thanks to the request, my eyes kept closing.
"Ah, it's so happy. Is this the privilege of an editor?"
"Somehow, other kids would be really envious."
"What can I do. We worked hard editing yesterday, so we have to receive this much healing. I'm really glad I learned video editing."
"When Mina recommended video editing, I was a bit surprised, but I understood because she said she'd make me stream on the internet."
The reason Minjeong and Minji learned video editing was because of Mina.
In the end, did I start internet streaming as planned by Mina?
But if I had said no until the end, what would she have done?
"Really, the hair is too soft."
"But if I had said no, what would you have done?"
"It's okay. In the end, I did it."
"Learning video editing isn't bad at all. If I didn't want to, I could have made Mina stream."
Yeah, if I had said no, Minjeong and Minji might have made Mina stream.
If Mina streams, I think she can handle any content.
Her gaming skill is excellent, her face is pretty.
Of course, the cuteness I can do might be hard with Mina's figure.
It's content only a small girl like me can do.
"Now ten minutes have passed. Now it's my turn."
"Already? Time flies fast."
I got up from Minjeong's lap, and Minji sat on the chair and put me on her lap.
I was worried if Minji's lap would hurt, but she didn't look like it was hurting.
"Really worried you were hospitalized, but you became even prettier and cuter."
"I'm not heavy?"
"Not really? With this cuteness, what's heavy?"
Minji hugged me tightly.
I had to sit on Minji's lap and be hugged by her.
It wasn't particularly uncomfortable, but having to be hugged for ten minutes like this?
Above all, since my feet didn't touch the ground, the posture was unstable.
Did Minji notice my posture and adjusted it so I wouldn't be uncomfortable and moved my body.
In the end, my posture became with the back of my head touching Minji's chest.
The discomfort was gone, but as it was a posture, it was embarrassing.
"I need to get healing often."
"Yeah? I need to get it often as an excuse for being tired from editing late at night."
Minji hugged me and gently stroked my hair.
And gently pinched my cheek without hurting.
It became more intense than usual hugging, but if she was satisfied with this, it was fine.
She's a precious friend who likes me, and because of that, our relationship is good.
If I let her do skinship like this often, our relationship will become even better.
I hope it continues for a long time.
