018. Abyss Cooking Stream
It was obvious.
The moral education teacher Ju So-yeon.
She was one of these three.
"...The culprit is in here."
【Yoho】─Huh? You're not sick or something, right?
【Reformed Guburi】─?? What're you randomly talking about?
【Hottie Licker】─lol dick detective. Sluuurp.
The three of them had similar reactions.
They typed in chat as if they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
But I knew.
I knew that one of the three was putting on an act, pretending not to know.
"You slipped in perfectly undetected, moral education teacher. I know you're in here."
【Reformed Guburi】─What are you going on about, fucker
【Yoho】─Is this a new concept today?
【Hottie Licker】─lol detective concept. Lick.
Of course, it didn't really matter whether Ju So-yeon was in here or not.
Still, the reason I insisted on finding her was just one thing.
Because I was bored.
And also, deducing which one was the moral education teacher seemed like it might be kind of fun.
I had barely anything to do anyway, so the timing was perfect.
"I was thinking of doing a short cooking stream today, but let's put that off for now."
【Reformed Guburi】─No. This fucker's way of talking turned retarded.
【Yoho】─You seem to be doing a voice impersonation?
【Hottie Licker】─lol Iramachio. Cack!
Yoho was really quick on the uptake, as expected.
She noticed right away that I was mimicking the voice of a detective comic protagonist.
Though objectively speaking, it wasn't very similar.
Anyway, that was it for the voice impersonation.
Now it was time to begin the culprit search.
And before that, I needed to explain why I was doing this.
Because if I kept spouting nonsense, I'd only look like a retard.
So I summarized and explained to the viewers what had happened yesterday.
***
I finished my explanation.
And yet, the moral education teacher still shamelessly hid among the viewers and consistently pretended not to know.
【Hottie Licker】─A moral education teacher is in here lololol
【Reformed Guburi】─Lolololol which fucker is it? First off, it's not me.
【Yoho】─It's not me either. If I saw the streamer in person, I would've asked for a photo right away.
First, judging by the image I had of Ju So-yeon yesterday.
The viewer closest to the moral education teacher was Yoho.
Yoho had just used the nickname Yohtthokkumung before.
She had hardly ever typed anything lewd in chat.
Truthfully, I kind of hoped Yoho was Ju So-yeon.
Because I absolutely could not match the other two.
‘But Yoho's financial means weren't exactly civil-servant level.’
With a job as a school teacher, there was no way she could casually throw around donations in the millions on a stream.
Of course, it could have been thanks to her parents' wealth.
She could be filthy rich and just teaching as a hobby.
But if I started digging in that deep, there was no end to it.
‘I should rule out Yoho.’
There was one more reason Yoho didn't seem to be the moral education teacher.
Aside from her old nickname.
Yoho, who had never really done anything embarrassing, would have no reason to run away from seeing me.
Like her chat just now, the chances were high that Yoho would have just asked me for a photo.
‘Next was Reformed Guburi...’
Right on cue, Guburi typed in chat.
【Reformed Guburi】─Who is it~ hurry up and come forward on your own~ you fucking sex bitch~
She was ruled out too.
There was no way a bitch like this was a moral education teacher.
Even if she turned out to be the one, I didn't want to uncover the truth.
"Hey, Guburi."
【Reformed Guburi】─Sex?
"If you're the moral education teacher, hand in your resignation letter first thing tomorrow. It's a contradiction for someone like you to go on about morality while educating students."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? It's not me, but you're hurting my feelings like crazy, you fucker.
【Yoho】─I agree with the streamer, too. If you, Reformed, really are a moral education teacher, it means the education field is rotten to the core.
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol
【Reformed Guburi】─You fucking bastards! Stop ganging up on me! What's wrong with me!
I didn't rule out Guburi without any thought.
There was a reason.
Guburi was always permanently stationed in my stream, morning and noon.
To the point I suspected she might be unemployed.
Anyway, she had far too much free time to be a teacher.
‘Then that left one person.’
Hottie Licker.
Her chat levels were high, but she was a better viewer than Guburi.
All things considered, this one was the most likely candidate.
Just slightly better than Guburi.
It absolutely did not mean her chat level was low.
She typed suggestive things in chat pretty often, too.
It was enough of a reason for her to hate her identity being exposed and to run away.
And...
‘The day Hottie Licker first came in was Friday afternoon. If she was a middle school teacher, that was probably around the time she'd had gotten off work.’
The time slot roughly matched up.
Friday was after-work hours.
Today was lunchtime.
It was a time slot where she'd have the leisure to watch a stream.
‘Of course, I didn't really know exactly when schools let out these days...’
I switched up my hypothesis once.
Let's suppose she hadn't gotten off work on Friday and was in the middle of class.
Even so, it wasn't entirely impossible for her to watch the stream.
She just had to hide her phone under the teacher's desk.
‘No way, were her chats oddly short compared to the others because she was in the middle of class?’
Ah. I was overthinking this.
The short chats were probably just her personal style.
After all, even now during what had to be lunchtime, she didn't type long messages.
Well, anyway.
The only strong candidate was Hottie Licker.
No matter how I framed the hypothesis, a plausible deduction was completed.
"The culprit has been revealed."
【Reformed Guburi】─??? Which bitch is it?
【Yoho】─It's really not me!
【Hottie Licker】─lol a strong denial is a strong affirmation.
After explaining all of my reasoning.
I pointed out the moral education teacher I had narrowed down.
"The moral education teacher is you, Hottie Licker! You fucking bitch!"
【Hottie Licker】─lol
【Hottie Licker】─Got caught.

My name was Ju So-yeon.
I worked at Pulbat Middle School as a moral education teacher whom the students called an angel.
"Miss So-yeon. What are you watching so intently without even eating properly?"
"Huh? Ah... I was looking up materials I need for the next class."
"Really? As expected, Miss So-yeon is so diligent."
A diligent and sincere teacher.
That was my image at school.
And there was something both the students and other teachers always said.
That there was no one more suited to the subject of moral education than Miss So-yeon.
It wasn't a wrong statement.
Even in my own opinion, I was a human with no moral deficiencies.
Of course, I did have a greater interest in sex than others.
I also had a taste for wanting to lick handsome men until they wore away.
But that was all.
Other than that, I prided myself on being perfect in every way.
"I'll get up first. And take it easy during lunch break. Being too diligent isn't always good, you know."
"Yes. I understand."
The male teacher who'd been annoyingly buzzing around me lately left his seat.
He was someone who didn't look licking-worthy.
So I had no interest.
‘To get me to lick you, you'd have to be at least on Gye Se-hun's level.’
The only thing I was interested in at that moment was this man on the screen.
Gye Se-hun.
A male cam streamer I'd stumbled upon last Friday.
He was someone who made me realize that a person could fall in love at first sight.
‘I'd only watched his stream once, so I was so anxious thinking he'd quit...’
I was restless the entire weekend.
Why won't he turn on the stream? Does he rest on weekends? He didn't quit, right?
With these thoughts, I stared at my phone day and night.
Even when I went to take my driver's license test.
But then...
I ran into Gye Se-hun by chance at the driver's license test center.
I couldn't believe it.
At first, I even suspected it was a hidden camera prank.
‘Maybe fate really did exist...’
This was a situation that made no sense if it wasn't fate.
Could this be a connection that heaven had pointed out for me?
I thought that, but I still couldn't bring myself to approach him easily.
I knew my place, too.
It was ridiculous for a mere civil servant to set her sights on a man of Gye Se-hun's caliber.
Even fate required people to be on the same level before they could approach each other.
But even though I couldn't approach him, I was happy.
Because I'd heard he hadn't quit streaming.
‘I didn't reveal my identity because I was embarrassed... but for all intents and purposes, I was a moral education teacher, so I couldn't just say to his face, "I'm Hottie Licker!"...’
I'd intended to hide it to the end.
But as the saying went, no secret lasted forever, and my identity was exposed after only one day.
Our Se-hun...
I thought he was only handsome, but he was surprisingly perceptive, too.
Though some of his reasoning was a stretch, he ultimately arrived at the conclusion that Hottie Licker was me.
I agonized for a short moment.
Should I keep pretending it wasn't me?
Or should I just come clean about my identity, since lying for nothing might make him hate me?
My choice was the latter.
Gye Se-hun was someone who lived in a different world from me anyway.
Chances were I'd never run into him again, so whatever.
【Hottie Licker】─lol
【Hottie Licker】─Got caught.
So I just coolly revealed my identity.
***
This case ended anticlimactically.
Hottie Licker unexpectedly revealed her identity without a fuss.
【Reformed Guburi】─Fuck lololol that bitch is a moral education teacher? Hey, you fucking whore! Stop muddying the waters of the education field!
【Yoho】─I still think she's better than you, Reformed.
【Hottie Licker】─lol lick. What a shame I couldn't lick your face and run away when we met.
"This fucker. In person, you were all tongue-tied and just stammered, but here you sure type just fine in chat."
【Reformed Guburi】─Guess she's a keyboard warrior lol what a loser piece of shit.
【Hottie Licker】─Anyway, I'm going to teach class now byebye. Of course, I'm leaving the stream on. Sluuurp!
【Reformed Guburi】─Turn the stream off, you crazy bitch.
【Yoho】─I feel like reporting you for dereliction of duty.
After that, Hottie Licker's chats became infrequent.
The occasional emoji was all there was.
She seemed to really be sneaking peeks at my stream while teaching class.
【Reformed Guburi】─I feel like finding out what school that fucker goes to and reporting her. The more I think about her, the more fucking annoying she is. Despite being a newcomer, she's the first to meet Gye Bastard-hun and she's gloating about it -_- Meet me too, fuck!
【Yoho】─I want to encounter you in person, too. haha
"Huh? Then you guys can just meet me, too."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Will you meet us if we ask?
【Yoho】─Gasp!
"An offline meetup... well, not exactly that, but let's gather sometime soon, kind of like a fan meeting."
【Yoho】─For real?
【Reformed Guburi】─fr?
【Yoho】─When are we meeting? Even tomorrow works for me!
"Right this moment is a bit... Let's wait until we have a few more viewers."
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah, that sounds better.
【Yoho】─But wouldn't a fan meeting get harder if there are too many viewers? How about doing it while there aren't many people? Please T_T
I seemed to have spoken too thoughtlessly.
I just said it out of courtesy, with the vibe of 'let's get a meal sometime'...
I decided to smooth things over for now.
"Don't worry about that. Even if the viewers increase, we won't gather everyone. It'll be more like a company dinner where only the managers are invited. The three of you here will obviously be given manager status."
I changed it from a fan meeting or offline meetup to a managers' dinner.
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah, got it.
【Yoho】─Aren't you going to set a date in advance? Wouldn't it be good to lock in a date for something like this?
【Reformed Guburi】─Stop clinging, you fucking pussy bitch. You're seriously like a dog in heat. Don't make Gye Bastard-hun uncomfortable -_-
Yoho kept clinging until the end, but thanks to Guburi, no more talk about the dinner came up.
And it was just a feeling, but...
This Guburi kid seemed kind of reluctant to meet me.
It was a bit puzzling that after asking to meet me earlier, once I actually said I'd meet them, her chatting drastically decreased.
Well, I didn't know the reason, but she must have her own circumstances.
***
【Reformed Guburi】─But hey, Gye Bastard-hun. Why'd you change your nickname instead of just leaving it? Gye Se-hun had a nicer ring to it than Hun's World.
【Yoho】─I think the current one is better.
【Reformed Guburi】─And why's the thumbnail just a black background?
【Yoho】─It's probably to keep the Male Supremacy Group from finding him. Try using your head. haha
【Reformed Guburi】─You just shut up for a second, you idiot bitch.
I moved to the kitchen while watching the chat window.
I was thinking of cooking something for the first time in a while.
I had originally planned to go hiking, but it got canceled because it started raining outside.
【Reformed Guburi】─You cook well? The guys these days can't cook for shit, they say lol
【Yoho】─I think the streamer will be good at it!
"Probably better than you, Guburi."
【Reformed Guburi】─Bullshit, no. I'm fucking great at cooking.
I was carrying on this communication while pulling out ingredients one by one.
『'Se-hun Pursuit Team' has entered.』
【Se-hun Pursuit Team】─Found you.
A new viewer came in.
And not just one...
『'Looking for Gye Se-hun' has entered.』
『'Qkrnfl892' has entered.』
『'Min-ji' has entered.』
It was a whopping four people.
