088. Boisterous Large-Scale Collab
088. Boisterous Large-Scale Collab
After ending the call with Cheerful Namsu,
I changed clothes and checked the chat on my phone as I stepped out of the dressing room.
【Dick Lover】─But if you've got dinner plans, doesn't that mean you can't stream again?
【Min-ji】─The person he made plans with this time is also a streamer, so it's fine~.
【Dick Lover】─Ah. Right, that's right.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun, show us you changing clothes! Show us!
【Qkrnfl892】─Show us!
【Hottie Licker】─Show us! *lick*!
【Drift AI】─I will say, show us!
【Yoho】─Show us, please!
【Min-ji】─Tsk, tsk.
They were spouting bullshit again.
These were viewers who couldn't stay still for even a second.
I let out a sigh, held up the camera, and spoke.
"Guys. I just got off the phone with Hyeon-su, and about the bar we reserved today..."
【Reformed Guburi】─Show us!
"...Gyejipsa. Mute Guburi."
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!

First, I slapped a chat mute on Guburi.
And then I explained the details of my call with Cheerful Namsu to the viewers step by step.
*
The viewers' reactions were indifferent.
A collaboration stream did not matter to them.
They did not seem particularly concerned either way.
I had worried they might dislike it, so this was a relief.
【BigGirl】─I don't mind as long as you don't end the broadcast.
【Min-ji】─Me too~.
【Reformed Guburi】─But why are you even asking our opinion? You'd just ignore us even if we told you not to go, you son of a bitch. lol
【Hottie Licker】─For real lol Ignoring Se-hun. *lick*.
【Qkrnfl892】─Isn't this basically just a notification? lol
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! He's pretending to respect our opinions!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya! Pretending to ask for opinions!
【Plum Tree】─But are there any female streamers there?
【Dick Lover】─Of course there are.
【Yoho】─Gasp.
"So there are no objections, right? If any of you don't want me going there, don't feel pressured and tell me honestly. I respect your opinions."
【Reformed Guburi】─What the... You're actually taking objections? Then I vote against!
"Gyejipsa. Mute Guburi."
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya?
"Do it quickly. Unless you want to get hit too."

【Hottie Licker】─I knew he'd do that. *lick*.
【Qkrnfl892】─He's really a crazy bastard.
【Min-ji】─Guburi's eating a lot of mutes today~.
【Yoho】─He's totally lost his touch.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Warkyarpya! It was a sting operation!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya...
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─lol But there must be a lot of male streamers there too, right? I hope it's a flower garden.
【Drift AI】─I will speak. After checking the CCTV, there are indeed more men.
"Flower garden my ass... If there are more men, it's not a flower garden, it's a dick garden."
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─A dick garden? I like that even better. lol
【Yoho】─It'd just be a squid field, a minefield. What's there to like.
【Min-ji】─That's right~. Anyone standing next to Se-hun, man or woman, just turns into a squid~.
【Plum Tree】─Those two really are like fanatics.
【Dick Lover】─But she's not wrong.
"Anyway, since there doesn't seem to be a single opposing opinion, shall we head straight to the bar where Hyeon-su is?"
【Qkrnfl892】─?? There was no opposing opinion?
【Hottie Licker】─Was there none? *lick*.
【Dick Lover】─There wasn't.
Having obtained the unanimous consent of the viewers in this manner,
I set off toward the bar where Cheerful Namsu was waiting.
***
Fifteen minutes later.
When I arrived at the meeting spot, I saw Cheerful Namsu standing in front of the entrance.
He seemed to have come out to greet me early.
【Reformed Guburi】─Hi, Cheerful Dick.
【Yoho】─Don't make sexual jokes to other streamers.
【Reformed Guburi】─It's not like they can see the chat. What's it matter?
【Hottie Licker】─This feels kind of nostalgic. The first day I saw Se-hun's stream was the day he did a collab with Cheerful Namsu.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Hottie, why aren't you licking when you see a man?
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya. Did your tongue get cut off?
【Hottie Licker】─My licks are now exclusive to Se-hun and you guys. *lick*.
【Dick Lover】─That's fucking disgusting, seriously.
【Plum Tree】─Don't do it to us, just do it to Se-hun.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Don't do it to Se-hun either, fuck.
【Min-ji】─Wow. It's been a really long time since I've seen Cheerful Namsu~.
【Qkrnfl892】─Min-ji. Did you watch Cheerful Namsu's stream too?
【Min-ji】─No comment.
【Yoho】─Right. There was this one viewer on Cheerful Namsu's stream a while back who got into a donation battle with me, realized the difference in our levels, and shriveled up... I think their nickname was similar to Min-ji's?
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah, I think the nickname was Cheerful Min-ji.
【Reformed Guburi】─Oh, fuck? Isn't Cheerful Min-ji that bastard and the Min-ji here the same person? No wonder the nickname felt fucking familiar the moment I first saw it. Fuck.
【Yoho】─Min-ji. That was you back then, right? heh
【Hottie Licker】─That Yoho bastard knows everything and is just pretending not to. *lick*.
【Reformed Guburi】─Reveal your identity! You pussy bitch!
【Min-ji】─I don't know any such person~.
【Reformed Guburi】─It is you. The bitch who kept banning me. Do you remember Kyuu-Bbul-Kyuu-Bbul or not?
【Min-ji】─??? I wasn't a manager, I was just a passionate fan, so I didn't have ban privileges~. -_-
【Reformed Guburi】─Oh okay, I'll let it slide then.
【Hottie Licker】─Whoa, what's up with Guburi? She got a confession out of her so naturally. *lick*.
【Yoho】─ke
‘They were having fun among themselves.’
I looked up from my phone,
called out to Cheerful Namsu, and gave a wave. Only then did he spot me.
"Oh! Long time no see, Se-hun! Haha!"
Cheerful Namsu greeted me with delight.
"Se-hun, you haven't changed one bit! You been doing well?"
"I've been getting by, more or less. What about you, Hyeon-su?"
"I've been well too. Except for that thing that happened the other time..."
Cheerful Namsu hastily trailed off,
his expression suggesting he'd brought up something unnecessary.
‘The thing that happened the other time...’
I could make a rough guess.
The day I had cancelled our meal appointment.
He was probably talking about the suicide of his acquaintance.
In the process of exchanging pleasantries, the memory of that time seemed to have inadvertently come back to him.
Suddenly, a heavy atmosphere settled between the two of us.
"Ah. Sorry... I spoke out of turn and made things awkward for no reason."
"No."
"Anyway, let's hurry inside! This place is so hard to book, but all the food is seriously no joke delicious, so you'll like it too."
Cheerful Namsu pretended to be nonchalant.
He forced a bright expression onto his face.
Then he lightly patted my shoulder and went into the bar first.
I silently followed behind Cheerful Namsu.

The interior was quite luxurious.
It was a bar with a bit of an omakase feel.
【Reformed Guburi】─A perfect place for sex.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Agreed
【Dick Lover】─Don't agree with that. You crazy bitch.
【BigGirl】─Oh. The atmosphere here is nice.
【Plum Tree】─Yeah, not bad.
【Min-ji】─Ah, I know that place~! It's super hard to book~. I once offered to pay extra a while ago and they still wouldn't let me book~. T_T
【Yoho】─Maybe the money wasn't enough?
【Min-ji】─Don't butt in~.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Another drinking stream! I just grabbed some alcohol from the fridge too!
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya... It's my house, and you just take whatever out...
The viewers seemed to like the bar's atmosphere as well.
‘More importantly... It really was all streamers here.’
As I followed Cheerful Namsu to our reserved table, I glanced sideways at the other tables.
Every single table, without exception, had a camera set up.
‘But why were there so many men?’
And the male-to-female ratio was a bit strange too.
Female streamers, about 30 percent.
Male streamers, about 70 percent.
By the looks of it,
this wasn't a place that took reservations fairly. It seemed to be a bar that gave a bit more preferential treatment to men.
‘Could it be that the streamers gathered here this time were also deliberately assembled by the owner's reservation policy?’
Just as I was making that rational guess while walking.
Tap.
I accidentally bumped my shoulder into the head of the man standing in front of me.
I felt a little bad saying this, but the man was so short he hadn't been in my line of sight.
"I'm sorry."
First, I bowed my head and apologized.
I couldn't just bump into someone and walk away.
The me of today was a person who knew how to admit his mistakes.
"Ah, it's alright... Huh?"
The man turned around and checked my face, then looked momentarily surprised and stepped back.
"...G-Gye Se-hun?"
The man stammered as he called my name.
He had to be someone who knew me.
And for some reason,
he seemed to be extremely frightened of me.
I could tell for sure from his trembling voice and his face filled with anxiety.
‘What had I done to frighten him...? But who was he? I did not remember him. He was obviously not a viewer...’
I examined the man's face carefully.
It was clearly a face that had undergone plastic surgery to overhaul his looks.
Perhaps the surgery had failed, as his facial expressions were noticeably unnatural.
Anyway,
it was a face I didn't remember, so I was thinking about just asking him who he was right then.
‘Ah. Could it be that guy I saw before?’
A thought suddenly struck me.
A head bigger than a watermelon.
Thanks to that distinctive feature, I was barely able to dredge up the memory.
It wasn't a common head size, after all.
‘That guy's head was definitely around that size too.’
It seemed the man's identity was 'Park Jin-ha,' the man I had first possessed in the fantasy.
