025. Outdoor Stream for Health
I heard the shutter click, and when I turned around, I saw a middle-aged woman in hiking gear.
"Ah, ah... um..."
The woman fidgeted nervously, her eyes darting between the camera and me.
She looked like she was trying to say something, but she seemed so flustered that she just opened and closed her mouth.
That was when a voice donation arrived.
『'Reformed Guburi' has donated 500 Won.』
└You fucking bitch! I heard the camera shutter! You just took a picture of our Gye Bastard-hun's ass, didn't you?
The woman heard this voice message too.
"Wh-what? No, nothing like that!"
The woman flailed her hands, denying it vehemently.
Her expression of wounded innocence was a bonus.
『'Reformed Guburi' has donated 500 Won.』
└If that's not it, then what is it? Look at your voice shaking because you got caught red-handed.
『'Yoho' has donated 10,000 Won.』
└Must be a guilty conscience -_-
『'Hottie Licker' has donated 500 Won.』
└Don't even think about trying anything funny. There are 100,000 people watching this stream right now.
『'Dick Lover' has donated 10,000 Won.』
└If you lay a single finger on Se-hun, I will personally come find you. Watch yourself.
"No... I really didn't..."
The woman was on the verge of tears.
Tears were welling up in her eyes.
She didn't look like she was acting.
If those were fake tears, she deserved an acting award.
For now, I muted the voice donations so they wouldn't leak out.
"Guys, shut up for a sec. Why are you so overreacting?"
I angled the camera so it wouldn't show her face.
No reason to expose her identity.
"She might have just been taking a picture of the scenery. How can you label someone a criminal with no evidence?"
I meant exactly what I said.
There was no proof yet that she had filmed me.
‘Even if she did secretly film me, it was not that big of a deal to me personally, so I wasn't going to make an issue...’
...No, wait.
That was a short-sighted thought.
Letting a crime slide was not a good thing.
Even just to prevent a repeat, it was right to give her a clear warning.
Though I wasn't planning to report her separately.
"I-I really didn't take a picture... I was just taking photos because there were so many strange mushrooms... please believe me..."
The woman, who had moved closer to me before I knew it, spoke with a tearful face.
Somehow, I started to feel like the villain.
"...Don't worry. It's just my viewers making a fuss. I never suspected you in the first place."
I spoke as kindly as I could manage.
Pushing someone as a sex offender based on mere suspicion and demanding to see their phone's gallery was not a good choice.
Because if she was truly innocent, there was no more unfair situation than this.
"...R-really?"
The woman's expression suddenly brightened.
My friendly tone must have had an effect.
"Yes. But next time you haven't done anything wrong, act a little more confident. Reacting like that is the perfect way to attract suspicion."
"I'm sorry... I acted that way because I was afraid of being misunderstood... And, also, this..."
The woman unlocked her phone with her fingerprint.
"Since I really didn't... please, check for yourself..."
I hadn't even asked to see it, but she handed me her phone first.
She must have wanted to prove her own innocence.
"It's fine."
"Pardon...? Y-you don't need to look...?"
"I'll just believe you."
There was no need to confirm this.
If she had secretly filmed me, there was no way she would show me her gallery like this.
"Still..."
A furtive glance.
The woman glanced sideways at the camera and continued.
"You seem to be a streamer... well, I was worried your viewers might not believe you..."
Now that I thought about it, she had a point.
Even now, there were chats coming in telling me to check her gallery.
I sighed and took the phone.
Then I quickly looked through the gallery.
Just as she said, there were pictures of mushrooms.
‘So the Red Deer Antler Mushroom grew there too. In any case, I owed them an apology.’
It wasn't me who needed to apologize, though.
It was the viewers.
They had pushed an innocent person as a voyeur.
"Guys, apologize. This person was just taking pictures of mushrooms."
『'Reformed Guburi' has donated 500 Won.』
└I'm sorry.
"Do it in chat, not a donation message. I have it on mute so I can't hear it."
【Reformed Guburi】─I'm sorry.
【Yoho】─I'm sorry T_T
【Min-ji】─I'm sorry...
【Dick Lover】─Sorry.
【Plum Tree】─sry sry
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Sorry...
【Hottie Licker】─I'm sorry...
【Qkrnfl892】─I wasn't suspicious.
【BigGirl】─I was keeping neutral too.
A stream of apologetic chats scrolled up.
I showed the chat window to the woman.
"Ah... Everyone, I'm fine, you don't need to apologize... There are a lot of aggressive voyeurs these days. I think it was a perfectly natural reaction..."
Even after being falsely accused, the woman didn't get angry.
She was a truly good-natured person.
Or maybe just timid?
Either way, she didn't seem like a bad person.
Since it was the kind of incident most people wouldn't let slide.
"And once again, thank you so much, truly... I had something like this happen before, and they called the police without even checking the facts properly... They even forcibly took my phone..."
The woman spoke.
She had a truly touched expression on her face.
And then, at that moment.
A young woman came huffing and puffing up the mountain from below, saw us, and shouted in a sharp voice.
"Mom! What's going on!?"
She seemed to be this woman's daughter.
***
Did one mishap call another?
Another incident had occurred.
The woman I assumed was the daughter rushed up to us in a panic and interrogated the woman beside me about what had happened.
And then, flying into a rage, she picked a fight with me.
Based on only a one-sided account.
Of course, it was a minor incident that was resolved quickly.
Because the woman held her daughter back and properly explained what had happened from the beginning.
Once she grasped the situation, the daughter immediately bowed her head and apologized.
"I'm sorry. I should have heard the whole story... My mom went through something like this last time, so I think I was a bit out of it. I am truly sorry."
After hearing the circumstances, her attitude completely flipped.
Just a moment ago, she had been as fierce as a wild beast.
‘Her personality was the complete opposite of her mother's.’
Just like their looks, there wasn't a single thing the mother and daughter had in common.
Anyway, well...
It was a possible misunderstanding.
My viewers had also just misunderstood a moment ago.
So, I decided to accept the apology.
"It's fine. Fuck."
Still, I was in a slightly sour mood, so I added a little swear word as a garnish.
Because I was not nice.
"..."
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry... My daughter has a very fiery temper... Yuna, you apologize more properly too!"
The middle-aged woman also apologized for her daughter's mistake.
The daughter was wearing a flustered expression.
Was it because I swore at her?
Then she shouldn't have misunderstood in the first place.
You were the one at fault, you fucking bitch.
I swallowed the additional curses only internally.
***
As it turned out, this mother and daughter were residents of our village.
‘So they were neighbors. It was the first time I was seeing them.’
It wasn't strange that they were new faces.
My house was in a bit of a remote location.
Because of that, there were many neighbors I'd never met.
By city-folk standards.
It was so isolated that you'd barely call them neighbors.
Though in the countryside, everyone living in the same village counted as a neighbor.
Anyway.
The middle-aged woman said she was grateful and sorry, and that she wanted to treat me to a meal at her place sometime.
Let's have a meal together sometime.
It was probably a polite, pro-forma statement.
So I didn't refuse.
‘Even if she really meant it, her house was closer than the others, so it would not be a hassle.’
The house where the mother and daughter lived was relatively near to ours.
A house with a blue-striped roof.
It wasn't so far that I needed to drive.
It was a walkable distance there and back for some exercise.
"Then I'll be heading up first. See you later."
The middle-aged woman said goodbye to me.
The daughter at her side just gave a slight nod of her head.
And so, the mother and daughter went back up the mountain.
"Yuna. When we have that young man over for a meal later, you apologize properly again. Okay?"
"Uh..."
"And if you get the chance, try to get to know him better. He seemed like a really decent person."
"No thanks..."
"What do you mean, no thanks! Don't you know it's hard to find a single guy like that these days?"
"Ugh, stop..."
I heard everything, but I pretended not to.

While Gye Se-hun was hiking.
A post was uploaded to the Streamer Gallery.
It was a post about Gye Se-hun, the topic that had been slowly simmering down.
[Author: yeah]
─I'll tell you how to find Gye Se-hun's stream.
I see a lot of dumbass bitches still haven't found it.
You look so fucking pathetic that I'm taking pity and giving out 3 special hints.
1. The stream is on a new platform.
2. The nickname is related to his real name.
3. The thumbnail has a black background.
With these hints, you should find it within 3 minutes.
If you seriously whine that you still can't find it after I spoon-fed you this much, I'll fucking crack your skulls open.
└Is this for real?
└If it's a new platform, is it Chur?
└Fuck, give us more hints!

└Found it, fuck lolol
└The platform's Chur, and the nickname is Hun's World.
└He spelled his name backwards lol
└Let's go~

└You fucking bitch! What's this about a viewer cap, you shithead
Unless an existing viewer left.
Out of all these people.
Only one person could get into Gye Se-hun's stream.
Because the current viewer count was nine.
