⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ "Cosmo has started broadcasting." ‘Back from Cheeze Meeting + YouTube Channel Launch’ As always, I kicked off the broadcast with today's Just Chatting theme in the title, and soon enough, the familiar viewers started pouring in like the tide.
— Cosmo Absolute Guardian Co-ha! — Elephant Hoou Co-ha — Hundred Flowers Uproar Oh damn, YouTube starting? — tws2425 How'd the meeting go? Questions flooded in nonstop thanks to the title, but as per the unspoken rule for announcements like this, I waited for more viewers to trickle in and passed the time with some chit-chat.
"Hope everyone had a good day. I was swamped today—rushing to that meeting and all sorts."
— Cro-Magnon Didn't the meeting end quick? — Runaway Frog Other streams said it wrapped in under an hour, was it different here? — Pink Rabbit Spill the details!!! "Whoa, calm down, folks. Can't spill the tea till more people show up, right?"
With a notepad open on the side and some fanart as the background, I scolded the viewers just like always.
These guys have zero patience, seriously.
"Anyway, the meeting did wrap up earlier than expected. Then I grabbed a bite nearby, hit a café, wandered around a bit, and that's why I'm late."
— National Hit No.1 Cosmo Coscos, did you eat alone like a total loner again? — Passing App Fool What's wrong with solo dining ffs — Catfish Goat Frog I can picture it and it's so damn pitiful... Man, these guys always look for an opening to roast me.
Of course, on a normal day, it'd hit home hard since it'd be true, but not today. Far from solo dining—I'd had a cozy meal alone with a stunning woman.
"Tch... You think I eat alone every day? I've got people to eat with."
Maybe it was the glow from that one shining moment in my 21 years of loner life, but my tone came off a bit cocky as I clicked my tongue, unleashing a barrage of question marks.
— Cro-Magnon ? — Alpaca Hunter Yeah right~ — Telling the Teacher Ate with Milk? — Neighbor Raises Hani Boss has been capping hard lately On other streams, this kinda response would spam "lol no way" followed by "with a girl?" or "who?", but not here. Not a single soul buys it.
⭐ Top Comment — Cosmo Absolute Guardian Who'd you eat with? Feeling like the boy who cried wolf, I was wallowing in gloom when one chat caught my eye, instantly brightening my mood.
See? At least one person believes me. Guess I haven't wasted my life after all.
"A gorgeous beauty, of course. We even grabbed coffee together."
— Soju-Flavored Hand Cream That's your schtick, huh — Bera666 Why's this dude pushing the bit so hard today? — Adios Dao Long virgin life finally broke him... God, tempted to temp-ban some folks. Their roast meters are off the charts today.
These bastards only get lively when they're dunking on me.
‘Kyung Hwa Su Wol’ sponsored 1,000 won. - Guys, maybe he ate with sponsor mom lol — Harbinz Gasp — White Forest Gasp — Moscos Tallulah incoming ㄷㄷ "No! You idiots!"
Now they're thinking I'm targeting Tallulah and turning some beauty into my mom for the story. Am I really that untrustworthy?
I held it in, then yelled, and finally the chat flooded with "lololol," the viewers showing they'd had their fun.
Eh, by now most should've joined, so time to dive into the announcements proper.
"Ahem, anyway, before content today, a quick announcement. You all see the notepad, right?"
— Elephant Hoou Eh — Chuuw Chuuw Eh — Olfried Finally moving!!! The viewers reading the notepad—meeting recap and YouTube channel setup—were mostly thrilled.
The platform switch goes without saying. The new place might feel weird, but it's definitely good news.
Plus, they'd been nagging me forever to start a YouTube channel, so no surprise there.
Tweet lost replays, making it hard to rewatch funny bits or old streams, so tons vented about it.
I'd mulled a channel for unedited VODs but kept putting it off till now.
Viewers were in full party mode.
"Can't spill all the Cheeze meeting deets, but it went well. Planning the move there too, and launching YouTube right after."
— Hundred Flowers Uproar Editor secured? — Monggu Sam Editor's my biggest worry — Hau Nyan-i Editors dipping from other streams left and right lol Editor, yeah, crucial. That was my top worry too.
I'll chat soon and know more, but for now, no big concerns.
"No editor yet, but meeting one soon. Know someone nearby."
— tws2425 Fast worker — Alpaca Hunter Someone you know sounds solid fr — Catfish Goat Frog At least no ghosting risk lol Thrilled by my update, viewers figured YouTube was full steam ahead and urged me to hurry.
Grateful for the interest, but it's pressure too. My stream's not that fire—what if edits flop?
"TL;DR, everything's on track, so don't sweat it. Cheeze launches, I move, YouTube starts, and I'll grind harder for better streams."
Sounds like it's for them, but really for me too.
New platform, their expectations—I gotta step up with quality.
I've been winging it; now it's time for real responsibility. Shoulders feel heavier.
‘Cosmo Absolute Guardian’ sponsored 100,000 won. - You'll crush it anywhere! Don't worry too much, Cosmo—fighting! "Whoa, big sponsor thanks...! Yeah, trying to roll with that vibe."
Like she read my mind, the chairwoman donated with encouragement. The 100k was nice, but her words hit deeper.
— Elephant Hoou We only want boss now heuuung... — Ate Rice and Just Woke Up Following anywhere — One Hit Hundred Strikes Moving? No biggie. Keep doing you and it'll be fine lol Their uncharacteristically witty, heartfelt comments made my chest tighten a bit.
Ugh, grown man, no midlife crisis tears. Snap out of it, Kang Wooju.
"Y-yeah... Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I never say it, but super grateful you show up daily to this nothing-special streamer. Here's to more."
Memories from a year on this platform fading, growth bittersweet—talking about it got my eyes misty.
These sharks wouldn't miss it.
— Elephant Hoou Yo crying? Lmao — Passing App Fool Listen to his voice cracking lololol — Cro-Magnon Cosmo-jjang don't cry... ‘Hundred Flowers Uproar’ sponsored 5,000 won. - [Voice Recording]: Yo~ Streamer's crying here~ Aish, these vibe-killers.
But grateful too. If they'd spammed sad emojis and gone moody, it'd be awkward.
Thanks to them, I shook off the lump quick, forced a smile, and reined in my emotions.
Whether that's what they aimed for, who knows.
"Anyway, anyone know a killer beef place near Hanseong-gu? Bit farther's fine."
— Moscos Beef? — Bera666 Treating the editor to beef maybe? — Adios Dao Fr I'll edit, treat me Think I treat 'cause I wanna? I'm getting fleeced here, guys.
Clueless, they latched onto the beef treat like hyenas, giving me a headache.
They don't know I'll be brined and wallet-drained right in front of them.
Sigh, don't do this, you lot.
— Cro-Magnon Daton near Hanseong-gu is fire Pretending to smoke with cam off, filming a solo skit, when a resto rec popped up.
Familiar name—I tilted my head, searched it up, and spoke.
"Daton? Oh, think I've passed it. Good eats?"
— Hau Nyan-i Yeah, took parents a few times—tasty "Oh..."
Nice setup, solid reviews. Pricey, but beef means wallet tax anyway.
Might as well splurge on top-tier.
"Cool, Daton it is. Gotta treat 'em good to hustle hard."
They said anytime works, so I booked a slot. Just notify now.
— Elephant Hoou Lmaoooo two dudes sweating it out now Nodding satisfied, one chat jumped out.
Wait, did I say it's a guy? Big misunderstanding?
"What? Editor's a woman."
— Alpaca Hunter ? — Soju-Flavored Hand Cream ? ⭐ Top Comment — Cosmo Absolute Guardian ? Corrected the near-miss, but question marks poured in—I tilted my head too.
What'd I mess up?
