Chapter Title: Activating Plan B
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Q. You've run into a female streamer tied to a bad incident from the past (worlds apart, major corp level).
You're in the middle of RP, so you have to act like it's your first time meeting, and the speaker is an aspiring Hostess Bar worker (definitely handsome, current viewers: 145, low-tier streamer).
Choose the response that best keeps the situation going smoothly.]
[1. Mention the past incident and flaunt your connection, e.g., Oh yeah yeah, it's me, Titty-Suck Bro~ Nice to meet ya~ Smooch~]
[2. Pretend not to know her, e.g., Ah... wrong person. I've never seen you before. Bye.]
[3. Go aggressive, e.g., Hey there? You malicious virgins, shut up and watch my RP unless you wanna get banned.]
If this were a game, those would've been the options.
But unfortunately, this wasn't a game—and even if it was, none of the three choices fit.
'The closest to what I want is 3, but...'
No way in hell.
To pull that off, you'd need at least four figures in viewer power.
'What... what can I do right now? Gotta think.'
Brain, full throttle!
Maybe get some help from chat?
He glanced over with that in mind, but...

[Why'd you shove your face in and answer like before? Told ya to go for it? Lmaoooooooooooo]
- Mungchu lmaooooooo

- 10 more secs of that brain grinding and the stream turns into chitlins~ 10 more secs of that brain grinding and the stream turns into chitlins~ 10 more secs of that brain grinding and the stream turns into chitlins~
Yeah, these idiots weren't helping.
If anything, the viewers were throwing a festival, loving every second.
'Right, but I can't drag this out any longer.'
Answering with "Huh, me?" would just hand the conversation back to her.
In a way, this was a test from the major leaguer.
Can you handle my 21k average viewers?
This was a trial.
A trial to overcome the past—I accepted it that way.
'Human growth... is overcoming your immature past... right, Diablo?'
Give me strength.
His heavy lips slowly parted.
"Yes, you."
Nickname - Leruri
[Hospital Director]
vs
Nickname - I-Moongryong
[Hostess Bar Aspirant]
They'd clashed for real.
Fucking doomed!
++++++
- Who's I-Moongryong?
- Huh?
- Oh, that guy from back then
- Concert chitlins yeah
- Oh
- Oh
- lmaoooooooooooo

[Damn how's he so brazen lol]

[Honestly feels like he knew and approached anyway]
- Fr
- Fr
- No way Leruri doesn't know it's Lera?
- Hmm;

"...."
Lera was about to respond to Mungki.
She muted her mic and hurriedly calmed the chat.
"Anyone trying to remote-control from now on gets perma-banned, all of you."
Back in the day, she'd have cooed them into submission and bounced with some fake agreement.
Lately, though, she felt like the stream couldn't keep going like this.
'I can't keep getting dragged around by viewers forever.'
How long was she supposed to soothe the ones whining "Don't wanna hear a guy's voice" just 'cause she talked to a dude?
Honestly, she never even soothed them. Just told them to chill.
But if they twisted even that into something weird, she'd have to start ignoring them.
"Honestly, it's just a few of you being extra bad. Keep it up and you're a nuisance not just to me but everyone else on Yorang Garden, so cut it out."
- Agreed
- Agreed
- Fr
- Gotta nip this early yeah
- Nah, Lera's got it handled
- Finally hit her limit
- Every time a guy shows up it's damn lol
- They think every chat means dating or some shit lol
- Live in reality a bit pls
- Fr
- Rooting for Lera
- Just lurking quietly
With the viewers back in line.
Lera unmuted.
"No, but... who are you to just come up and say that?"
-"Ah... well, I'm I-Moongryong. I comfort people worn out and exhausted from work."
"Comfort?"
- Oh like hostess bar? Lmao
- Straight-up put a hostess bar aspirant next to her lol
- Lera you getting hit on? Lol
- Came to hit on the hospital director right off the bat?
- Saw the signs since the concert yeah
Lera's viewers decided to watch for now.
Meanwhile, the convo between Lera and Mungki kept going.
More precisely, between Hospital Director Leruri and Hostess Bar Aspirant I-Moongryong.
"So what kinda comfort do you offer?"
-"Like for someone... who just works their ass off... and when they get home and open the door... feels that loneliness. I comfort that feeling."
Ambiguous semi-formal speech.
And blatantly cozying up close.
If it'd been subtly creepy, it'd be gross.
But he was so overtly tacky, Lera just laughed.
"Pfft... pffft... What? And you can just come up like this outta nowhere? I'm a big deal, y'know?"
-"What kinda big deal? You're just a nurse, right?"
"I'm the hospital director here. Yorang Hospital director."
-"You married?"
"Nope."
-"Must've been tough climbing that high alone. Hit me up anytime you want comfort. I'll be by your side."
- Sweet
- So sweet
- This guy's nuts
- lmaooooooo
- Felt it since the concert, every line's wild
- I'll be by your side agreed lololololol
- And dead serious too, hilarious
- Dude lives off his looks straight-up lololololol
- So cringy I'm gonna hurl lolololol
- But bulldozing legit with the looks lolololol
Viewer reactions weren't bad.
Probably 'cause she'd reined them in earlier.
Plus.
"Ahahaha! What, what're you saying? You're such a perv, you must be crazy!"
Lera just found Mungki's lines funny.
-"Since you're the director, first one's on the house special."
"No, what're you giving free? How do you even comfort?"
-"I become your boyfriend for the day. Treat me however, I'll take it all... Leave your feelings with me, Mungzaha—no, I-Moongryong. If you wanna chat, I'm a Star, search MungkiLove."
With that, the I-Moongryong character bowed deeply.
-"Gotta go hand out more cards then... see ya...."
He'd shown just enough character and dipped perfectly.
'Aw, wanted to talk more.'
But she couldn't.
- Hmm lololol
- Fun but lololol
- Kinda weird tho
Viewers were starting to get iffy.
So he'd shown the fun part and bailed right before it got gross.
'...Server's two weeks anyway, we'll meet again.'
But she wasn't bummed.
Plenty of time.

Chat was lit.
Everyone laughing.
Lera'd been smiling during the talk, so she must've enjoyed it.
But only.
Only him.
"Hoo.... Wow, forgot how to breathe seriously for a sec."
Sighing in relief, wiping cold sweat.
'Thought I was dead.'
Madara taking a Night Guy to the face—must feel like this.
- First sales pitch still a win tho
- Ran into top dog right away and survived lololol
- Fr lololol
- Big low-tier you again?
- Big Mung energy survived again?
The day viewers spoke for him had come.
Thought they just shat negativity, but heartwarming days happen too.
"Solid opener, didn't get ghosted, properly probed. Let the hospital director know I exist."
- You sure you let her know?
- Opener total fail lololololol
- You gonna make it?
- Breaking) Moong Peak 127... corp trickle-down effect "0"
- What trickle, nearly ground-leveled by beosams
- Come get stomped~
"What stomp, fuck off."
Can't you see I survived proud?
'But screw this up and bankruptcy's easy.'
Low-tier under 500 followers in a major streamer server.
Solo no agency, doing hostess bar aspirant shit—bankruptcy odds sky-high.
Why else do low-tiers scramble for cops or big gangs?
Fail to hook main streams, no trickle-down, no inflows.
Stuck with the same regulars—or lose even them to elsewhere. Worst case.
'Can't do this.'
Tried once, realized how reckless.
'Keep running around carless, pitching this to everyone?'
Sure, once or twice fun.
Novelty sparks laughs.
But keep it up?
'The Little Match Girl ain't me—limits hit fast.'
Plus, intro ends, then actual sales pitch.
Rental boyfriend service—if they don't bite, just clowning then done.
No good.
Needed solid better plan.
After a quick think.
"Whew, felt the limits of business. Activating I-Moongryong Plan B."
- Fml lmaooooooooo
- Business 5 mins in and calling quits lolololol
- Mungki pls never start a biz
- Admitting limits too quick
- If you knew it'd flop why plan it lolololol
- And there's a Plan B lololololol
- Mungzahara job change resolve lmaololololol
- Ditching rental bf already?
- Caw caw Mungzahara total wreck~ Mungzahara total wreck~
- Crow performance solid
- Rental Mung BF Ep1) Met Lera -Complete-
- lmaololololololol
- Mungzahara service over
"Nah, it's evolution. My business evolves."
- So what then
- ?
- lololol
- Mungki! You always got plans
"My plan is exactly...."
He explained to viewers right away.
- TtaranTta donor: 1,000 won. Thanks!
[Our country's great, see you graduated high school]
- Hey Mungki, same final education as me?
- Bet this dude barely scraped middle school
- MungkiMungki that's batshit crazy talk
- Teacher Kim Gu pls close your eyes
- Why King Sejong Great << Mungki learned Hangul too lololololol
- Big King Big King
Viewers loved it.
Insane, just.
++++++
Not corps, but not small either.
Mid-to-big streamers comfy with major server content.
They clocked what to do fast as game started.
"Hmm, gang maybe? Gang?"
- O gang good lol
- Bad boss on
- Shootin' people again~
- Banji no friendly fire this time
"Ah, what friendly fire, don't talk nonsense."
- SuperZoom donor: 1,000 won. Thanks!
[Then,,,,you,,,sniper,,,,team,,,,headshot,,,makes,,,sense,,,,?]
- lmaolololol
- lmaololololol
- lmaololololol
"That's aim issue! Accidents happen!"
Banji, FPS-main female all-rounder gamer streamer.
Fresh in major server, she grasped mechanics quick.
Dead set on gang, called a taxi first.
-"Coming right up."
Sweet voice right after call.
Banji thought, 'Huh? Any male streamer I know with a voice this good?'
Moments later.
Hostess Bar Aspirant - I-Moongryong.
-"Called a cab? Where to? If you're tired and just want 'anywhere,' that works too."
"...."
Met a hostess bar aspirant taxi driver.
Carless I-Moongryong.
Hired as cabbie for temp ride!
