Chapter Title: Overslept Stream Crisis
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's a refreshing morning.
Sunlight filtering through the curtains is warm, blending perfectly with the cool air from the AC and the cozy blanket, making me think it's just the best feeling ever.
A morning this nice... should I just sleep more?
But what did I even do yesterday to sleep so soundly...
"Ah."
Remembering yesterday jolted me awake, and I shot up in bed.
Fuck.
I immediately grabbed my phone from the bed and turned it on.
The time was already well past 10 a.m.
And below that, 24 missed calls.
"Ha... this is a disaster."
I'm super late. Like, really late.
I calmly headed to the living room first and chugged a glass of water.
Alright, first things first—head to the stream and start with a proper apology.
This is totally my fault.
They might laugh it off for 30 minutes, but over two hours? That's straight-up a broadcast accident.
Feeling a twinge of tension, I stepped into the soundproof booth.
Come to think of it, after two hours, maybe the viewers got tired and left?
I never thought they'd jump straight into the trash-talk I planned for today...
With those thoughts, I sat in the chair and looked at the monitor, but what I saw was completely different from what I expected.
-When the hell are you coming, fuck!!
-1
-me
-rock
-ha fuck..
-Holding my breath till you show
-Let's see how long till you bail
-me
-Please come already..
-rock
-rock
Damn... looking at the chat made a bead of cold sweat trickle down my forehead.
I've never seen the chat on fire like this.
Usually, they set it ablaze whenever they get the chance, but today was on another level.
I was wrong to be late.
But does that warrant the chat burning for two whole hours?
If anything, they'd tease me, not rage like this...
I sat there pondering how to even start, and then a donation popped even without me there.
[Artisan Miro donated 10,000 won! Thank you!]
You fuck, you said you were going to sleep yesterday and then did a nogari at dawn? Fuck fuck fuck..
And it's 10,000 won, no less.
No, looking at the nickname—it's the room prez.
- Fr real... so fucking pissed
-No but fuck, I matched my sleep schedule and woke up early to wait, why the hell did those guys...
-Yeah I watched your full nogari live last night lol
-Fuck fuck fuck..
-Come back and see what happens
Shit... was that nogari the trigger?
For the die-hard Mirodan who synced their lives to spend 24 hours with me, that surprise late-night nogari was a total catastrophe.
They felt empty for missing it, and then I show up this late? That emptiness turned to rage.
This is my karma, so I gotta own it...
I suppressed the urge to bolt and turned on the mic.
"I'm here."
Surprisingly, the chat froze the moment I spoke.
And the instant I noticed the chat had stopped...
-You fucking bastard why now after not sleeping till dawn yesterday
-Fuck... fuck... fuck... fuck... fuck...
-Headbutt! Headbutt! Headbutt!
...
..
.
The chat exploded.
Chats flew up so fast past the tipping point that I couldn't even read them, instinctively looking away.
This won't work.
No normal method will fix this.
But who am I?
Pro broadcaster Miro.
It's way too early to sink in a situation like this when Miro 24 Hours is far from over.
"I'm really sorry. I'll headbutt right now!"
Thud!
I yelled and slammed the desk hard.
With my fist, of course.
Head would hurt too much, right?
Fist hurts too, but way less than my head.
But the listeners have no idea if it was fist or head.
No way an apology or compensation douses that rage anyway.
Apologizing won't bring back the dawn nogari stream.
Compensation? The ones who saw it get the same anyway?
If frontal assault fails, time for a bypass.
"One more headbutt!!"
Thud! Thud!!
This time, harder than before, twice on the desk.
Not too over the top.
Just right.
Like a real headbutt.
-No wtf;;
-Hit harder you fuck
-Stop it
-Sorry
-It's fine, no need
-Read the room; someone stop her;
Sorry to the worried viewers.
But momentum—you gotta push harder once it starts rolling.
"I'm really sorry!"
Thud!
This one heavy, and I bowed my head too.
Then, in a mumbling tone:
"For making you all wait because I overslept, I sincerely apologize. Miro 24 Hours will be extended by double the late time—four hours!"
But going too hard backfires.
Push strong first, then offer compromise when rage turns to confusion.
-OK OK
-We forgive you so stop
-Fine
-Lets just eat already?
"You're really forgiving me? No need for more headbutts?"
-Suddenly headbutting scared me;
-Yeah yeah
-It's cool
-Shit happens
I peeked at the chat reactions.
Just a few fake headbutts, and the manic rage from moments ago had fizzled.
From the viewers' side, seeing that masked bombshell (presumably) headbutt woke them up?
Doesn't matter. The vibe flipped—that's what counts.
"Right? Actually, I didn't use my head—it was my fist. My fist hurts....
-You fucking idiot lololololol
-me
-rock
-Get out lololol
-Ha this bitch
-Was so sorry but fuck
"Ahaha... but I'm still sorry, and the four-hour extension is real."
Four hours... not planned, but it's only right.
If you're mad, I shouldn't have overslept.
-This is your only pass
-Don't do it again
-Ha... just one more headbutt
"Never again! I won't be late!"
Bang!!
-Ow that was hard
-Fist again?
-You actually headbutted??
"Of course! Fist again!"
-Yeah knew it fuck lol
-Just do cooking streams
-Show your hand
"Alright, moving on to morning cooking stream."
Time's nearing lunch, but barely morning enough.
And so, this unprecedented blaze was expertly extinguished by pro broadcaster finesse.
*
Today's breakfast: egg fried rice.
Honestly, way easier than yesterday's doenjang jjigae, so no disasters.
"How's the taste?"
-Good shit
-Kya lolol
-Way better than yesterday
-This one's legit
The golden hue is key for egg fried rice, and it nailed it this time.
Probably 'cause I made it often while living solo—pretty skilled.
"Looks tasty, right? It really is."
-You sleep well then anything tastes good yeah..
-I starved waiting
"Ahaha... I'm truly sorry."
Crisis averted, but this oversleep will haunt me as teasing fodder forever.
Can't be helped. I took a bite of the fried rice.
Man, it's legit good.
At this rate, maybe I have cooking talent.
Or just good with my hands?
After cooking, marveling, and devouring the delicious egg fried rice, I headed back to the booth.
Original plan post-breakfast: cafe browsing. Stuck to it—booted the PC stream and entered the cafe.
"Alright, let's check the hot posts?"
-Dive into the backlog lol
-Other members post daily anyway
-This one's gotta hit the community
-Lotsa spots besides cafe lol
Some viewers mention anon communities, but never acknowledge.
Link officially to communities? One slip—intentional or not—tanks your image.
Mine's already rock bottom; can't drop lower.
"Starting from the top?"
Top down, but hot posts... mild community fare, nothing new.
Harder to find non-community viewers in this crowd anyway.
That's the flavor it gets.
Still...
"Tons of my fanart, huh?"
Way more fanart than expected.
Especially Miro 24 Hours ones—still uploading live.
"Lotsa artists in my stream, I guess."
-Yeah
-Keeping it on while drawing probs
-Battle?
"Battle? Fighting with drawings—what blasphemy...."
-Scared?
-Lol she's scared
"But I can share my thoughts on them. It's my fanart, right?"
Me scared? Of drawings?
Drawings are woman-Kim Suhyun's pride.
Her top value: art skills.
...I think it's looks, but anyway, woman-me's proud of her drawing.
"Alright, let's see the efforts of those claiming my fanart."
No downplaying the less skilled—who draws perfect from the start?
No bad drawers or good ones.
Just chasing your perfect ideal, step by step.
And posting fanart on Naver Cafe? They'll show a glimpse of that ideal.
Clicked the first with spoiler block.
Then hit back immediately.
"...?"
-lolololololololololololol
-ㅗㅜㅑ..
-No NSFW here?
-Crazy
Of course, first one: super lewd art.
Obvious emphasis on certain parts.
Told 'em no extreme stuff per rules, but apostles always sneak in.
"Won't work...."
-ㄷㄷ
-Time for Viewer Slayer Miro?
-Screwed now lol
Quickly saved it first.
-?? Saving what?
-Jealous
-She saved that
"Posted it 'cause they're confident, right?"
Knows getting picked apart embarrasses them.
As fellow artist, I apologize in advance deep down.
But.
"Alright, Miro feedback time."
That's that—today, make an example.
