087. Boisterous Large-Scale Collab
Around evening.
I woke up and dragged myself upright in bed.
‘...What time was it?’
First, to check the time, I picked up my phone from the nightstand.
The current time was 6 PM.
I had plenty of time before the appointment.
Next, I checked the chat.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun! hihi!
【Plum Tree】─You slept a long time.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say that I am glad to see you.
【Hottie Licker】─He's awake. Lick.
The stream had been left on the whole time.
Because Guburi had asked me to do a sleeping stream or something.
"...Don't tell me you were watching me sleep this whole time? It's creepy how fast the chat pops up the second I'm awake."
【Hottie Licker】─yep i was licking the screen the whole time. Lick.
【Plum Tree】─You said you sleep about 10 hours, so I timed it to come back around now.
【Reformed Guburi】─I just checked the stream for a sec and you happened to be waking up. What, you think I'm some loser who stares at a male cam all day? -_-
【Qkrnfl892】─lol pretending not to be a loser.
【Hottie Licker】─Loser cunt. Lick.
【Min-ji】─I just woke up too.
【Yoho】─Nobody asked.
【Qkrnfl892】─Anyway watching streams during training is hella sweet. lol
【Hottie Licker】─And that's our country's soldier. Ptooey.
【Qkrnfl892】─? Still better than you being a morals teacher. Negligent piece of shit.
【Reformed Guburi】─Bitches of a feather tearing each other apart. lol you two are the same.
The viewers were mostly awake too.
Apparently these people had no need for sleep and nothing better to do.
"Guburi. Don't you go to work? I don't know about the others, but the food service industry is in the middle of peak hours right now."
【Reformed Guburi】─Day off again today. lol
"Yeah? You didn't get fired, did you?"
【Reformed Guburi】─I didn't get fired. the fuck
【Hottie Licker】─lol no one would be surprised if Guburi got fired any day. Lick.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Se-hun is awake-nu!
【Gyejipsa】─He's awake-nu!
I leaned against the wall at the head of the bed.
Yawning, I stared blankly at my phone.
It hadn't been long since I'd woken up, and I couldn't be bothered to move.
【Dick Lover】─What the. You're up? So why are you spacing out? Aren't you gonna go wash?
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─O_W_O!? You’re awake! Gotta wake my daughter up. Hehe.
【BigGirl】─Hello.
"BigGirl's here too? Where'd you go this morning? I didn't see a single chat from you."
【BigGirl】─Ah. I was a bit busy.
【Plum Tree】─Just be honest and say you slept in.
【Reformed Guburi】─fr pretending to be busy as shit. Total unemployed bum. lol
【Yoho】─Reformed. Not everyone lives the same kind of life as you.
【Hottie Licker】─frlol Lick.
【Reformed Guburi】─I'm not unemployed? lol
【Min-ji】─She's so thrilled now that she got a job.
【Qkrnfl892】─It's seriously a mystery how a bitch like that landed a job.
【Min-ji】─And don't disrespect the unemployed.
【Reformed Guburi】─Got a problem with it, get a job. lol
【Min-ji】─I'm a rich unemployed person so I don't need a job. heh
【Reformed Guburi】─You fucking bitch.
I'd been staring at the chat window endlessly like this for a while, and just as I was thinking I should get washed and was about to get up.
【BigGirl】─Se-hun.
【BigGirl】─Se-hun.
【BigGirl】─Se-hun.
Seeing BigGirl's chat made me pause for a moment.
If Guburi had been spamming, I would have ignored it.
But it was BigGirl, normally so well-behaved, spamming, so it naturally drew my attention.
"BigGirl, what."
【BigGirl】─Do you remember the faces of the people you saw at the vacant lot earlier?
"The vacant lot? The place where the hotel was? You were watching the stream even then?"
【BigGirl】─Yes. I was watching, but something came up so I couldn't type in chat.
【Yoho】─That's a sudden question.
【Min-ji】─Aw jeez.
So BigGirl had been watching the stream too.
She had been in the viewer list.
But since she hadn't sent a single chat, I'd assumed she just had the stream on and wasn't actually watching.
Anyway.
Like Yoho said, it was truly a sudden question.
"...You asked if I remembered the faces of the people I saw there? Well, I remember a few of them. Why do you ask?"
【BigGirl】─Do you also remember the tall woman with a scar over her left eye?
"A scar?"
I thought I knew who she meant.
There was no way I wouldn't remember that person.
Amidst the people in black suits.
She was the only one wearing a grey suit.
On top of that.
She was taller than the others and even had a scar on her face, so she had especially stood out.
"I know who you're talking about. You mean the one in the grey suit, right?"
【BigGirl】─Yes. That's right.
【Reformed Guburi】─Oh. I remember too. She showed up on camera for a sec.
【Hottie Licker】─Who are you talking about? Lick.
【Dick Lover】─That one fucker who looked like a thug.
【Min-ji】─You guys have good memories.
"So why are you asking about that? Do you know her or something?"
【BigGirl】─I have a slight acquaintance with her. But what did you think of her face? She hates her own face, says it's horribly ugly... I wanted to hear someone else's opinion too.
"Ah. You really do know her?"
I was surprised, but.
It was entirely possible.
BigGirl had said she worked around here.
"More than that, ugly...? I thought she looked fine? Even from a distance she seemed pretty."
【Dick Lover】─Ah. She's BigGirl's acquaintance? yep she was pretty.
【Plum Tree】─You just said she looked like a thug.
【Dick Lover】─When did I say that, dipshit.
【Reformed Guburi】─Don't know about pretty, but her scar was cool as fuck.
【Hottie Licker】─I didn't see her but she was pretty. Lick.
【BigGirl】─Thank you.
【Reformed Guburi】─Why are you thanking them, for fuck's sake. lol
"Anyway. She's definitely not hard on the eyes, so tell her she can be confident."
【BigGirl】─Okay! hehe
【Qkrnfl892】─First time I've seen BigGirl go hehe.
【Yoho】─She uses it occasionally.
【Min-ji】─She must only use it when she's in a good mood.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! She must be a really close acquaintance-nu!
【Gyejipsa】─Warkyarpya! She's thrilled to death because you complimented her friend-nu!
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun. But why'd you let BigGirl's spam slide? You son of a bitch?
"She's usually well-behaved."
【Reformed Guburi】─Well-behaved my ass. When you're not looking, that fucker spams the hell out of chats like sex! heuaang baby! the fuck
【Hottie Licker】─lol sneak-attack sex joke. Lick.
【BigGirl】─Don't make false accusations.
"Alright, I'm going to go wash up."
After answering BigGirl's question sincerely and wholeheartedly.
I headed to the shower room to get ready for my appointment.
***
I finished the shower and came out of the motel.
And first things first, I stopped by a clothing shop to buy some clothes.
Because I'd been running wild in the hotel and my clothes were in a slightly shabby state.
【Plum Tree】─Buy some bright colors.
【Hottie Licker】─He's about to color-coordinate in black again. Lick.
【Yoho】─Black clothes do look good on the host.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun. Not that one, try on the one next to it.
【Min-ji】─Why are you recommending a shirt with a rabbit flipping the bird. -_-
【Qkrnfl892】─You seriously gonna buy that? I think the one on the right over there is better.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Can't you wear a sleeveless shirt-nu?
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya! Can't you just take it off-nu!
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say to buy and wear the pink clothes in the corner.
I didn't pay any attention to the viewers' backseat shopping.
A quick glance at the clothes they recommended made it clear their fashion sense was worse than mine.
【Reformed Guburi】─But the staff here isn't moving an inch from the counter.
【Plum Tree】─It was written at the store entrance. That employees won't talk to customers first so customers can shop comfortably.
【Qkrnfl892】─There are lots of stores like that lately. Because a lot of people feel uncomfortable when an employee follows them around.
【Min-ji】─It is burdensome having someone stick right next to you while you're picking clothes.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─I should shop at those kinds of stores from now on. Because the employees always pressure me into buying weird stuff and I've got a mountain of it piled up at home. -_-
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say it is because you look like an easy target.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─My mom gets pressured into buying stuff too.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I say the employee is garbage.
The shopping didn't last long.
Because I was only trying to buy one outfit I could throw on right away.
So I paid for the black clothes at the counter.
Then I left the camera outside and was changing in the fitting room when it happened.
‘Huh? A call's coming in.’
A call came from Cheerful Namsu, the one I had made the appointment with today.
*
*
*
The call was nothing special.
The upscale bar Cheerful Namsu had reserved.
He said there was not a single ordinary customer there at present—only broadcasters.
So, in other words.
If I went to that bar, it meant a mega collab stream would naturally happen, whether I wanted it or not.
‘A mega collab stream, huh...’
It was just a coincidence that the broadcasters had gathered.
Supposedly, it was absolutely not intentional.
Cheerful Namsu had also been surprised when he arrived at the bar.
The other broadcasters had also been surprised to see each other, apparently.
‘All kinds of weird things happen, seriously.’
Cheerful Namsu had told me to say so if I was uncomfortable.
Saying we could cancel the reservation and switch to a different place.
He was probably being considerate because he thought I might hate appearing on someone else’s stream.
The consideration was appreciated, but.
I told him I did not mind eating at that bar.
‘He said it was difficult to book, so we might as well go.’
Apparently, it was hard to reserve even if you had money.
