Chapter Title: Young Master Kang's Descent (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
‘He must be freaking out since I nailed it exactly without him even spelling out the evidence.’
It was possible only because of the ghost blabbing nonstop right next to me, but they had no idea, so it’d give them chills.
-Young Master Kang descends again
-Told you, he’s more legit than any fortune teller lol
-Check out the asker panicking lololol
-(Lee-Family-Heir): No way, how did you know??? Is this a hidden camera????
-Look at the spacing go missing from panic lolol
-Heir dude, how could it be a hidden camera lol We don’t even know where you live lololol
-(Lee-Family-Heir): But seriously, how did you know????;;
The other side panicking wasn’t the point. What mattered now?
“That’s a scam.”
Calming down the whiny ancestral spirit and rescuing the little lamb about to get fleeced.
“You might ask what makes me so sure, but it’s a scam, guaranteed.”
Interrogation was in full swing beside me.
[Old Timer, you’re not just talking nonsense, right?]
[Why would I spout nonsense at my age? It’s a scam!]
[Give us something solid to back it up. Then he’ll believe you.]
[Ugh…… Evidence, huh. Do you know how much I’ve been running around trying to save that one guy……]
[Enough, evidence!]
[You insolent brat……! *Ahem!* I went over there and stirred things up a bit.]
[Stirred how? Did you go trash the place?]
[Exactly! I snuck in and planted a little fear in them. Created some terror! Heh heh…… Every time I nudged their wigs, their faces were priceless! And from what I snooped, they’re planning to bolt real soon! Probably ’cause I rattled them.]
Planted fear? Bolting……?
Old Timer’s word choice was surprisingly hip. And an ancestral spirit of his caliber creating terror meant he’d used some physical force……
‘He said he stirred things up, so a little nudge should wrap this up easy.’
Scammers are paranoid. Sophisticated cons get refined by patching every little flaw. Think of it like how the best security expert can become the best hacker.
‘Just fan the flames a bit, and it’ll crumble fast.’
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Honestly, I can’t believe it;; I don’t know how you figured out the evidence, but don’t mess with me.
“Why would I mess with you? I’m not some idle bum with nothing better to do. If you’re that curious, just give them a call. Ask if the wig’s still good.”
-(Lee-Family-Heir): A call? Wait…… wig? How’d you know it’s hair???
“Just call and ask. Gotta see it to believe it, right? Costs nothing.”
The guy was thrown off by Yeonwoo’s firm tone and the word “wig,” scrambling visibly.
“If they deny it, ask to meet up and feel it yourself. Bet they’ll refuse 100%.”
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Okay, got it. I’ll call right now and come back.
The troubled consulter stepped away briefly.
[KSH7 has donated 100,000 won.]
[Sing us a song^^]
No point starting another consult right away, so Yeonwoo waited—and a donation popped up right on cue.
“Thanks for the donation, KSH7. You could’ve just said so.”
Barely an hour in, and a familiar ID was already sticking out.
[KSH7 has donated 100,000 won.]
[No way^^ Not just any song, it’s Yeonwoo’s!]
Dropping 100k every time he chimed in had made it memorable.
‘Is this just how generous the culture is?’
Clueless about streaming, that’s what Yeonwoo thought.
-Who even is that guy?
-I’m a fan too and I’m on my knees…… 100k per comment, for real? ㄷㄷ
-Some tycoon?
-From the fanclub?
-Nah. I’m in Yeonwoo’s fanclub multi and it’s blowing up there too lol who is this guy lololol
-Yeah, fanclub’s donating hard so they don’t lose lol
-Right, can’t let them win.
[112314 has donated 10,000 won.]
[Herリア프da has donated 50,000 won.]
[TomorrowRamenGuy has donated 20,000 won.]
[BrothOnRiceTruth has donated 30,000……]
Viewer reactions cleared it up—it wasn’t from the club. Thanks to that, Yeonwoo’s donations were crushing first place by a mile. Mid-stream tallies were promised, and with KSH7 leading the charge, explosions of donations had the excited writers scribbling updates on sketchpads.
“Hmm…… A song. What should I play?”
Yeonwoo paused, eyeing the mad chat scroll.
[KSH7 has donated 300,000 won.]
[I want to hear an original, Yeonwoo^^]
‘300k?!”
300k for one song request. Whoever it was, tycoon didn’t cover it. Already over 2 mil from this guy alone.
“Thanks for the 300k. I’ve got a track I’m working on—not finished, but I’ll give it a spin.”
Yeonwoo’s long fingers settled on the keyboard.
The piece he’d been deep into lately? The OST requested as the main theme for the drama. A courtroom tale of justice-driven lawyers upholding right and good, crushed by harsh reality, only for justice to triumph in the end.
Yeonwoo focused on the main theme’s tense tug-of-war with that brutal reality.
Not quite done yet, sadly.
‘It’s unfinished, but…… let’s test reactions?’
Fast tempo with notes whipping by like a storm? Or slow-building low melody clashing into dissonance, ramping emotions?
He’d roughed out both, but something felt off—still tweaking.
-Bro! This version slaps already? Nutyube reactions are fire—slap lyrics on and drop it!
Jerry said that, but releasing as-is felt half-baked. Kinda bland? Amp the impact, but dialing that “just right” was tricky.
Ding! Short chime, and the performance kicked off.
♩♬♪♬♪
Yeonwoo’s fingers danced smoothly over the keys. Quick tempo, plucking strong and soft, keys spitting endless notes. A torrent of sound crashed like a downpour, tension so fierce you might get swept away—even in that brief piece.
Tweaked from the Nutyube draft, but sharp ears might catch the shared bassline.
-Woah; sudden vibe piano scared me ㅎ
-Saw those fingers? Not human level;;
-What can’t our Yeonwoo do on piano?
-Gotta leave a flaw on perfect Yeonwoo. Too flawless is boring.
-Nah, not that
-Staff, boot that guy pls
Yeonwoo’s paused hands resumed prowling the keys.
♩♪♬♩♪
Heavy, scraping lows with power. Dissonant clashes for edge, slow strings-like build with dynamics peaking differently from the prior slow burn.
‘No orchestra, so piano covers it.’
Impromptu meant heavy string arranges. Dropped the key lower than Nutyube, stretched the tempo.
-This is gold…… Feels like a concert……
-Who’s singing this? Mid-tier vocals would get eaten alive.
-Agree, vocals would tank it without chops.
-Yeonwoo should sing. He’s got pipes.
[WhatSongIsThis has donated 1,000 won.]
[Great listen!]
[HardToName has donated 5,000 won.]
[Our Yeonwoo godgodgodㅠㅠ Composer too, what nowㅠㅠ]
[ConcertWhen has donated 10,000 won.]
[Agency work! Open a concert!]
[KSH7 has donated 500,000 won.]
[Wanted vocals, bummer. Next time for sure^^]
Donations burst post-performance, as if queued.
“Thanks, glad you liked it. No lyrics yet, just MR. And you heard plenty of songs earlier, right?”
Grinning at the solid response, he added—and chats filled with friendly vibes.
And right on cue, the wandering ‘Lee-Family-Heir’ chat popped back up.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Just checked in……
-Client’s back!
-O ㅋ Here he is ㅋ What’s up? Call go ok? Scam confirmed?
-No way Young Master nails it again ㄷㄷ
Viewers zeroed in on the client instantly.
[KoreanFastFast has donated 1,000 won.]
[RevealIn60Secs has donated 2,000 won.]
[HumanlySpillIt has donated 1,000……]
More donation pings lit the chat.
“What’d they say? Wig okay?”
[Argh, why bother saying! At that point, it’s done! They probably bolted ass-first!]
Old Timer, catching his breath, chimed in from the side.
And.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Answered, but said it was noisy so he’d step out……
-Ah~ bad end confirmed~
-Young Master whiff this time ㅋ
-lololol Guess it was luck till now
[MissIsOk has donated 50,000 won.]
-Miss is fine, more human that way.
-Young Master Young Master, it’s for fun, not docu—hate the believers;;
-No 100% in this world. 99.999% maybe, but not even scientists say 100.
A bit deflated update spawned defending chats one by one.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Called back and…… it’s disconnected…….
The client finally spilled the dejected truth.
-Huh?
-What?
-Huh?
-Wait; disconnected why rn?
Onlookers flooded ???? chats at the twist.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Less than 10 mins since we talked?
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Said he’d call back, waited, but nada—so I rang again……
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Said invalid number……
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Called drinking buddies—boss dipped right after a call, some family emergency.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Right after my call……
Drinking mates, giggling over why hunt the boss on a Friday, flipped when the client spilled.
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Freaked, so buddies asked—told ’em quick……
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Then the table flipped……
“Table flipped?”
-(Lee-Family-Heir): Turns out…… others got pitched too, not just me—
-(Lee-Family-Heir): “Great deal, keep it quiet”……
Others hit with the same pitch were at the drinks……
TL;DR: Client calls scammer per Yeonwoo. Scammer smells trouble, ghosts. In minutes: number axed, fake family excuse, dips. Client notices disconnect, calls around—turns out multiple victims: “Wait, boss pitched me too?” “Insider trading hush-hush…… what’s this??”
“Seven victims, estimated 350 mil lost?”
Client dodged thanks to bad vibes today, but others didn’t.
‘Partied hard at drinks till late—who’d suspect a scam?’
