055. Calm Chat Stream on the Terrace
055. Calm Chat Stream on the Terrace
The executives all held their breath and stared at the monitor.
A single message containing a greeting was displayed on the monitor screen.
The executives glanced at each other sideways, trying to gauge each other's reactions.
While they were doing that.
One executive, with a trembling hand, pointed at the monitor and spoke carefully.
"That... Anyone can see it's the hacker who deleted our accounts earlier, right...?"
Only after one person broke the silence did the other executives start to open their mouths, one by one.
"A hacker? Then are you saying the ceiling lights all going out is the hacker's doing too?"
"...Wouldn't it be?"
"That doesn't make any..."
"Ex, excuse me..."
A bespectacled executive timidly raised her hand, drawing everyone's attention.
In her hand was a cell phone.
It was a phone with a screen full of 「ERROR」 messages.
"Is it just my cell phone that's like this...?"
The woman in glasses asked in a tiny, creeping voice.
At her question, the rest of the executives also checked their own phones.
"What the? My phone's busted too."
"...Mine too."
"M, mine's the same. I just bought this phone yesterday..."
"No! The phones aren't what's important right now! We need to resolve this hacker situation first!"
Just as one executive was angrily shouting.
Ding-a-ling!
A chilling mechanical sound rang out from the monitor.
The next message had appeared.
One message was not the end.
<Kim Sun-ja: Periodically collects urine from the men's restroom.>
<Park Min-young: Embezzlement.>
<Baek Kkot-nim: Has a hobby of sticking boogers on the head of the person in front of her on the bus.>
<Lee Hyun-soon: Voyeurism at the swimming pool.>
<Lee Jung-mi: Theft of a neighbor's underwear.>
<Ra Jung-hyun: Has a hobby of serving others coffee mixed with her own breast milk.>
An earthquake struck the pupils of the executives.
And they couldn't say a word.
Because every single one of those accusations was completely true.
With that message as the last.
The ceiling lights in the conference room regained their glow, and electronic devices like the monitor and cell phones recovered their functions.
But the executives remaining in the conference room still stood there blankly.
With their mouths firmly shut, avoiding each other's eyes.

While I was looking into other platforms just in case.
Drift's chats, which kept coming up, began to get on my nerves.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say that a mail should have arrived.
It couldn't help but get on my nerves.
Because Drift was spamming that exact same chat every 10 seconds.
"Drift, cut the spam."
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say that a mail should have arrived.
【Reformed Guburi】─Shut the fuck up, you fucking bitch.
【Hottie Licker】─lol Drift doesn't know how to give up. lick.
【Yoho】─What mail arrived?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Did you send Se-hun a handjob pic?
【Gyejipsa】─No?? What's a handjob?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Search it on the internet!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!
【Reformed Guburi】─Don't search it! Fuck!
【Se-hun Defense Force】─It's a naked old man picture. don't search
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya...
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say that a mail should have arrived.
If it were another viewer, I would have given them a Chat Mute, but Drift had pulled something off today, so I'd decided to grant her a mute exemption no matter what chat she typed.
"This fucker really doesn't listen a single fucking bit... Fine. I'll check it, so quit the chat now."
I sighed and went into my mailbox.
It had been quite a while since I last checked my mail.
[Sender: Reformed Guburi([email protected])]
┗Sex is sex. Therefore, sex is sex.
"Fuck. What the hell is this?"
【Reformed Guburi】─wut?
"Gyejipsa. Chat Mute Guburi."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Why, fuck!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!
『User 'Reformed Guburi' has been chat restricted. Remaining time 00:00:30』
Half of my mailbox was filled with Guburi's mail.
Most of them were mails that contained nothing but the content 'sex'.
As expected, she really was even crazier than I'd imagined.
Anyway.
I ignored all of Guburi's mails and checked the mail at the very top.
[Sender: Admin]
Hello.
Regarding the mistake our Admins made just a moment ago, we wish to convey our apology...
·
·
·
I slowly read through the mail.
To roughly summarize.
They were sorry for kicking a viewer without consent just now. Also, I didn't have to lift the viewer limit. They would handle any inquiries themselves, so I shouldn't worry about it.
It was that kind of stuff.
‘...The Admins were nice. Even after being kicked around by a mere streamer, they had imposed no sanctions and had instead sent an apology.’
If I had been in the Admins’ position, could I have responded that calmly?
Probably not.
Because I was not that magnanimous.
‘I should send a reply mail saying I was sorry too.’
I also.
Hadn't handled things maturely, so I decided to send an apology letter to the Admins.
After sending the reply like that, I checked the chat window.
【Yoho】─What mail is it?
【Qkrnfl892】─Tell us what it is. ffs
【Hottie Licker】─Looks like he's writing a reply right now.
【Plum Tree】─Is it a mail sent by the Admin?
"Yeah. The Admin sent a mail saying they wanted to apologize for kicking a viewer without permission. So I sent one back writing an apology too."
【BigGirl】─You suddenly used an honorific. lol
【Dick Lover】─Oh. Still, the Admins here have some sense.
【Plum Tree】─Honestly, if they fight Se-hun, only they lose.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─rly. There seem to be quite a few who signed up just to watch Se-hun.
【Min-ji】─Why did Se-hun send an apology?
"I overreacted too, so I should apologize. Actually, the Admin didn't do that big of a wrong. If you think about it, the one who did the most wrong was Guburi."
【Se-hun Defense Force】─rly lol. If Guburi had just stayed quiet, that incident wouldn't have happened.
【Yoho】─True, Reformed did do the most wrong.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! The root cause of all incidents is that Guburi bastard!
【Gyejipsa】─Son of a bitch!
"Ah. And they said they'll handle all the inquiries asking to lift the viewer limit themselves, so I don't have to worry about it."
【Yoho】─That's a relief. hehe
【Min-ji】─Of course the platform should handle things like that themselves. heh
"But I felt bad too, so I sent a reply mail saying I'll lift the viewer limit."
【Yoho】─??
【Hottie Licker】─Nyeom?
【Drift AI】─I [?]?
【Plum Tree】─You're removing the viewer limit?
【Dick Lover】─That's shit. Can't you just make a separate relay stream?
【BigGirl】─This platform doesn't have relay streams or anything like that.
【Dick Lover】─Crazy. As expected of a Small-Time Streamer platform.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wappukyappupya!!! I'm against it!!! Wouldn't the scarcity value disappear?
【Gyejipsa】─I'm against it!
Most of the viewers expressed opposing opinions.
As expected, they were possessive bitches.
For now, I decided to quickly add an explanation.
Because I never said I would open up the viewer limit all the time.
"Just so you know, I'm not lifting it every time. I'm only thinking of opening it up once in a while, so don't worry."
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya?
【Yoho】─Aha. If it's that, it's fine.
【Plum Tree】─Phew. Thank goodness.
【Hottie Licker】─lol What's this? Is it like some kind of event?
"Well, it does feel kind of like an event."
【Dick Lover】─What's the reason for doing an event like that? Is it really just because you feel sorry for the Admins?
"That's part of it. And I'm also curious how many viewers would come in if I lifted the limit right now."
【Se-hun Defense Force】─I'm curious about that too. lol
【Qkrnfl892】─lol It could be fun.
【Hottie Licker】─They'll probably swarm in like a fucking pack of dogs. lick.
【Yoho】─I have a feeling the stream will be a mess that day...
【Drift AI】─I speak. I ask when that event will be implemented.
"Probably around the end of this month? I'll try it once first, and if it's not much fun, I won't do it again."
Just like I said.
If it wasn't much fun.
Or if it was too much to manage.
Or if communication didn't go smoothly, I'd never lift the viewer limit again.
"Anyway. I'll keep going with the stream like this normally, so don't worry too much about it."
【Yoho】─Yep!
【Min-ji】─Yesh. hehe
【Reformed Guburi】─Sex pussy.
With that, the trouble with the Admin was neatly resolved, and I went back to an ordinary chatting stream.
***
Before I knew it, the day had grown dark.
But the rain was still pouring down fiercely.
"When the hell is it going to stop...?"
I grabbed a plastic bottle of cola from the fridge and came back to the terrace.
And I sat down in a chair and checked the chat window.
【Plum Tree】─Ah. What question should I ask?
【Reformed Guburi】─I've already decided my question. heh
【Yoho】─I'm still thinking about it.
【Hottie Licker】─Are you really going to answer everything honestly?
The viewers were pondering what question to ask.
Before ending the stream today.
I'd said I would take one question per person and answer it honestly, without any lies, no matter what the question was.
I heard about it from Guburi.
Apparently, it was pretty common content in chatting streams.
It had been several months since I'd started streaming, so I figured doing it once wouldn't be bad, and I went ahead with it.
【BigGirl】─Oh! You're here!
【Reformed Guburi】─You came back fucking late. -_-
【Hottie Licker】─Se-hun. Are you really going to answer everything and absolutely never lie?
"Yeah. On my honor."
【Hottie Licker】─Where the hell do you have honor, fuck.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say that if falsehoods are spoken, I can detect them immediately.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. How will you detect them?
【Drift AI】─I answer. I say by analyzing facial expressions.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Aren't you fucking terrible at analyzing facial expressions?
【Drift AI】─I deny. I say that I have prepared a program for analyzing human facial expressions.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya...
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya...
"I'll answer honestly in good conscience, so just trust me. Don't be suspicious."
【Hottie Licker】─okay lick.
【Yoho】─I always believe in the streamer. heh
【Min-ji】─hehe I trust Se-hun too.
【Qkrnfl892】─Fucking sweet bitches. lol
"Anyway, let's get this over with fast and go to sleep. Guburi, you ready with your question?"
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah!!
"Then ask."
The order had been decided beforehand.
In the order they entered my stream, I'd take questions.
Meaning, in the order of oldest viewers.
【Yoho】─But I was the first one to find this stream. heh
【Reformed Guburi】─huh? YohoChick?
【Yoho】─Ahh. No. You go first and ask, Reformed.
【Reformed Guburi】─ok
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun. I'm asking?
"Ask already, you fucking bitch."
【Reformed Guburi】─ok
And so, the first question came in.
【Reformed Guburi】─Have you ever had sex?
