Lee Hyunwoo, having woken up late due to the relentless physical exertion, finished his workout and returned to the hotel instead of his home.
The reason was....
"Whaaaat! Why won't you tell me!"
It was because of Lee Yerin, who had become the biggest obstacle in Lee Hyunwoo's life, which otherwise had nothing but happiness left in store.
She had declared a hiatus from streaming for the time being.
She said she would return once the aggro died down a bit.
Up to here, it didn't matter.
But the problem was what came after.
In Lee Hyunwoo's opinion, it was obvious that the on-hiatus Lee Yerin would definitely come looking for him.
And Lee Hyunwoo would get mentally and physically stressed out managing her.
He had wisely evacuated before that could happen.
He thought it wouldn't be bad to live in a hotel until he found a house, so he booked a long-term stay.
Since he booked by the month, the accommodation fee became incredibly cheap.
"I told you, didn't I? I'll tell you after you turn on your stream and give a proper explanation."
"No, that's...."
"Noona. No, Lee Yerin. Do I have to call it an order for you to understand? Just because I'm speaking nicely doesn't mean it's a request. I'm the superior and you're the subordinate. Okay?"
".... Fine. I'll stream. I'll do it, okay! Then you'll come into my stream, right?"
"That much is easy. I'll come in around the time you finish your explanation and shoot you some coins."
"And after that, you're telling me which hotel you're at, right?"
"I said I got it. I'm not like you, Noona; I don't lie, so don't worry."
"Hmph. Fine. I have to get ready for my stream, so I'm hanging up. See you later."
For the first time, Lee Yerin hung up first.
It was proof that the taming was working.
If it had been Lee Yerin before the training, she would have screamed her lungs out and obsessed over it until she heard what she wanted.
A good sign.
Lee Hyunwoo had made Lee Yerin listen.
He could dominate her!
"Next is...."
Having finished the call, Lee Hyunwoo manipulated his smartphone.
He had received quite a few messages while working out.
The next in line were Bom Yeoreum and Lee Yuna.
-Hello. Baeksuking-nim.
-Good morning.
-I'm reporting on the quests you gave me yesterday that I've cleared.
-List of cleared items: Streaming PC, DSLR, lighting, microphone, streaming outfits, room cleaning, streaming schedule announcement, streaming macro settings, reaction practice.
-(Photo proof of streaming PC)
-(Photo proof of DSLR)
-(Photo proof of lighting)
-(Photo proof of microphone)
......
-I've cleared a total of nine missions!
-And as you told me, I plan to continue with 6 days of streaming a week starting today.
-Thank you always!
Did she send a long KakaoTalk message because she was startled by Lee Yerin when she called yesterday?
It was a KakaoTalk message that clearly revealed her personality.
It seemed like her MBTI definitely contained an E and a J.
Lee Hyunwoo, who slowly checked the KakaoTalk, called her right away.
"Yes! Hello?"
"Yeah, it's me. Is it okay to talk?"
"Yes! It's possible."
"I received your report well. But the photo of you wearing the outfit, did you happen to use Photoshop or a beauty filter app?"
"No. I just took it and sent it right away."
She just snapped it and sent it, and that level of beauty came out?
Lee Hyunwoo didn't show it, but he was slightly surprised.
He had thought her beauty was breaking through the low-quality screen.
That wasn't the case.
It was because she was a goddess of beauty that such beauty came out even with that image quality.
He would have to see her in person to be sure, but it was certain that she had at least Darling-level looks.
"Was something wrong? Should I use filters from now on?"
"No, it's just that you were prettier than I thought. I was a bit surprised, that's all."
"Ahaha.... Thank you."
"Anyway, I like that you report like this. But when you go on stream, you need to say it one more time. I need to use it for Newtube editing, so don't be too stiff."
"Ah, yes! Understood."
"Did you look into an editor?"
"Yes! I actually looked through sites for hiring editors. I contacted a few people, and I also posted a notice that I'm looking for an editor just in case I can't find one."
"Well done. And don't worry about the editor's salary. If you keep doing this, I'll make sure you never have to worry about salary."
"Yes! Thank you!"
Lee Hyunwoo talked with Lee Yuna about how to proceed with the broadcasts in the future.
It felt like playing a real-life BJ raising simulation, so it was very fun and enjoyable.
"Ah, what did you say your streaming time was? I didn't have time to look at the announcement."
"I'm thinking of doing it from 6 PM to 12 AM."
The time slot overlapped slightly with Yeoujjing.
Still, it wasn't bad.
On days he went to Yeoujjing's stream, he could skip Lee Yuna's.
And on days he watched Lee Yuna's stream, he could take a break from Yeoujjing's.
Still, he would have to go into the stream every day for the time being.
At least until Lee Yuna's stream settled in.
"Got it. Then I'll come into your stream in the evening. Have some content planned for today."
"Yes! I've already planned it! Don't worry!"
The call, filled with the energy of a high school student, ended.
And then, the next in line.
BJ Jeong Sorim, who was using her real name.
-Hello. Baeksuking-nim. You said you would contact me yesterday, but since I didn't hear from you, I'm reaching out first. I'm a bit worried if this might be a nuisance. You said you had a proposal; could you tell me what it is? ^^
He said he would contact her yesterday, but he had forgotten because the night spent with Choi Soohyun was too sweet.
But why did her chat message feel so mature?
She clearly looked like she wasn't very old.
Since he had barely built any rapport with Jeong Sorim, he approached her carefully.
-Hello. Have a great day. I'm sorry for contacting you so late.
-I had some busy business yesterday.
-Is it okay to talk on the phone right now?
Not long after he sent the KakaoTalk, a reply came immediately, and Lee Hyunwoo immediately made a voice call.
Since she hadn't given him her phone number, he had no choice but to call via voice talk.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Hello. Baeksuking-nim. Ahem, this is my first time talking on the phone with a viewer, so I'm a little nervous."
"Ahaha, is that so? Anyway, I'm sorry about yesterday because of me. I got tangled up in some unnecessary business."
"It's fine. Thanks to you, Baeksuking-nim, my viewer count increased, and the number of people who signed up as fans increased too. I really thought of it as an opportunity."
He refreshed the atmosphere with comfortable small talk at first.
It wasn't just in the chat that Jeong Sorim felt mature; that maturity also permeated her way of speaking and her thoughts.
She clearly had the appearance of someone in her 20s.
Was it because she learned traditional Korean music?
"By the way, how old are you? When I saw you on screen yesterday, you looked like you were in your early to mid-20s? At most, I thought you were in your late 20s. You're very calm."
"Ahaha. Yes. I hear that a lot. That I'm like an old soul. I'm twenty-eight."
"Oh, you didn't look like it. I thought you were younger than me."
"Thank you for looking at me favorably."
Lee Hyunwoo was feeling attracted to Jeong Sorim's appearance and gayageum skills, and Jeong Sorim was feeling attracted to Lee Hyunwoo's wealth.
The conversation flowed like water.
Lee Hyunwoo, who had narrowed the distance somewhat through the conversation, brought up the main topic.
"Cashback? By any chance.... is that kind of thing common on Corea TV? I've been streaming for about a year, but I don't really know much about Corea TV. Since my main content is niche...."
"I know it's not very common. Still, as I explained earlier, it's not anything illegal."
"Ah, yes.... Then why are you insisting on doing cashback, Baeksuking-nim?"
This question again.
Since he heard it every time he made a proposal to a female streamer, the answer now flowed out smoothly.
"Because the money I can spend on streaming is limited. If I get cashback, wouldn't I be able to spend more money?"
"Ah! That's true. I'm sorry. That was a stupid question."
"No need to apologize. So, what are you going to do?"
"Before I answer, can I ask one last question?"
"Yes."
"Then, the female streamers who receive support from you, Baeksuking-nim, are all under the same contract, right?"
"Yes. That's correct."
"Hmm.... Understood. I'll do it. The cashback."
The conversation was long, but the decision was quick.
Jeong Sorim was calm and mature, but there was no way she wouldn't be greedy for money.
Lee Hyunwoo smirked as if he had known this would happen.
"Congratulations. On becoming part of the 1 Million Club."
"Ahahat, does it work like that? Anyway, thank you for the congratulations. Ah, then do I have to deposit the cashback this week?"
"The timing is awkward, so let's start from next week. And please be aware that I will be entering Sorim-nim's stream every 2 or 3 days."
"Yes. Is there anything else I need to know?"
"For now, this is enough. Let's fill in the rest as we get to know each other gradually."
"Fill in, huh.... That's a phrase I really like. I look forward to working with you. Baeksuking-nim."
"Ah, you can call me that on stream, but it feels awkward being called that in reality. Please call me by my name. My name is Lee Hyunwoo."
"Ah, yes. Hyunwoo-ssi."
'Hyunwoo-ssi' also felt too distant.
Lee Hyunwoo, who was about to tell her to call him more comfortably, swallowed his words.
For a style like Jeong Sorim, it seemed better to let her drop the honorifics when she became comfortable.
After talking to three women in a row, he felt happy but also drained.
How on earth did Casanova manage over 100 women?
Maybe it was possible back then because there were no smartphones?
Still, fortunately, he didn't have to call the remaining two women, Bbangit and Yeoujjing.
Choi Soohyun had been with him from night until morning, and Kim Hana had exchanged small pleasantries while giving him a morning call.
"Then let's start today energetically!"
Lee Hyunwoo shouted, boosting his vitality.
He unfolded the laptop he had bought in a lump sum while returning to the hotel on his desk.
Bbangit's streaming time was still far off, and since Darling said she was preparing for her stream, it would take quite a while.
Before that, let's explore other female streamers who could fill the remaining two spots.
"Why are there so many messages?"
What caught Lee Hyunwoo's eye when he logged into Corea TV was the over 50 messages that had arrived.
It wasn't like he was some kind of BJ.
To think there were this many people sending him messages.
Most of them were probably sent by malicious trolls who were drawn to the aggro.
Lee Hyunwoo clicked the message icon lightly, intending to clean out his message box before exploring female streamers.
And as expected, most of the messages were from malicious people asking what had happened with Darling.
However, among them, there was one sent by a female streamer.
