Chapter Title: Who Falls in Love Watching Streams?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Who the hell develops romantic feelings just from watching a stream lol
Unlike the chat window slandering me as some incompetent kid, the cooking was going incredibly smoothly.
Truth be told, brownies are baked goods, and what I'm making now is just dough, so I'm not entirely sure.
Anyway, it's sailing along smoothly, right?
"Cool the melted chocolate a bit, mix in the yolks, sift some powder on top. Oh, fuck!"
It splashed on the laptop!
I was shaking the sieve to sift the cocoa powder when I dumped the whole thing right onto my laptop!
"Hold on a sec!"
First, flip it over!
Then shake off the powder!
As I fumbled with the laptop in a panic, I caught sight of the chat scrolling by super fast in the opposite direction from usual.
💬 Live Chat — Anonymous lolololololololololololol — Viewer123 Accidents in cooking streams are a must, fr — SimpSlayer Valentine's coming up and you're chocolate-coating the laptop too lol — Lurker Eek! I messed up~! — ShakeMaster Your arm shakes like crazy every time — GiggleBot Pffft — FailCounter Today's fuck-up stack: 1 — SifterPro Why shake the sifter like a maniac lolol you can do it gently "It didn't say to shake it gently!"

Save this hopeless case! 🗑 Deleted — HornyJail If you shake too hard, other things shake too — JeonseolKeeper Jeonseol best girl What's so damn funny about someone else's screw-up? These guys are way too hyped!
They were just waiting for me to mess up!
"Camera confiscated."
I plopped a huge mixing bowl right in front of the phone filming me.
The broadcast screen now showed nothing but plastic.
— Troll1 Sulking now — Beggar Sorry, give us the screen back ㅠㅠ — Observer Streamer's pouting? 🗑 Deleted — Pervert Was enjoying the jiggle — Edgelord Horny jail — GentleFan Our baby girl's delicate, gotta handle her gently — RageQuit Kick out all the trolls! — Supportive Beginner cooks mess up sometimes — HouseHusband Honey, I'll cook, please go to the living room and watch TV — DoorSpammer Open the door open the door open the door... 🗑 Deleted — ClosetPervert Can't admit when something's hot! — BabyMode Wahh mommy it's too cold here wahh — TeaseMaster What kinda pussy gets mad over this lololol — Pouty Sulky bitch About half were still gearing up to troll me more, while the other half were having full-on panic attacks over the missing cam.
This is what's tricky about it.
They're all lumped under "viewers," but already split 50/50 in vibes.
I have no clue which side to play to.
I quickly moved the bowl aside.
Can't keep airing just plastic forever.
No way they think I actually got upset over that, right?
"Be good or I'll go back to black screen."
— Grateful Thank you thank you thank you — Skeptic Pretending not to be sulky while opening the cam lol — ChantLeader Jeon Jeonseol! Jeon Jeonseol! — TamerTry Trying to tame us lololol — ConspiracyNut Why'd this bitch suddenly switch to broth-taming cooking stream? Wtf's the intent? ⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ DarkenedBroth donated 1,000 won! "So who ya giving it to so who ya giving it to so who ya giving it to..." — ChillPill Don't go dark on us — LogicBro If it was for a bf you'd make it off-stream lol — ChefSimp Ate the brownies deliciously with Chef — Friendless No friends, so no bf either? — RealTalk Girls with no friends but bfs are more common than you think — Gasp Gasp! — TheoryCrafter Gasp! Were those late-night drinking mukbangs a warning to your bf before cheating? — Echo Gasp! What kinda baseless conspiracy is this?
I ignored the few chats asking who I'm giving it to, and suddenly one viewer's heart turned to darkness.
"It's just a concept, right? No one actually catches feelings for a streamer. How do you even develop romance for someone whose face you don't know and will never meet?"
— NukeCaller Sudden AoE burst ㄷㄷ — AntiSimp Simps are gross lol (Ow! That hurts so bad!) — GoOutside Fr, wanna meet girls? Go outside lol (But isn't streamer a hikikomori too?) — BoilingMad Chat's bubbling over (If she has a bf I'm done watching) ⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ Anon donated 1,000 won! "The bitch telling simps not to boil is blatantly doing simp-taming cooking? What's your goal, you thot." "Simps? Taming? Cooking stream?"
I just turned on a cooking broadcast, how'd it become simp-taming?
"You guys watch chef cooking YouTubes and suddenly feel love or whatever?"
— Awakened Now that you say it, it's weird af — LolTrain Fr lolololololol — Realization The ones getting tamed were the weird ones — NoMore Stop femcel baiting!!! — Thirsty These dudes are just starving for pussy — Hyperbole They'd say you're seducing them just by breathing lolol — Agree Fr — FoxHater This vixen... ⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ DemonBroth donated 1,000 won!

"Obviously giving it to a guy."

Not literal bots, but monsters possessed by memes, acting them out.
"You guys kekekeke-ing for real? Feels like your face muscles aren't moving, just your fingers laughing."
— Caught Gasp! — Denial2 No way lololololololol — Paranoid There's CCTV in my room! — Watched Jeon Jeonseol watching me? Even better — GrossedOut Fuck didn't wash my hair today — Genuine Don't lol if it's not funny — MomRequest But you give daddy, not mommy? "Alright, sift in the cake flour too. Fold in the meringue."
The cooking was already at the final stage.
Minor laptop coating incident aside, no issues!
"Don't overmix or the meringue will deflate, so be gentle."
Credit to Master Chef on the side for this glory.
Pour the finished batter into foil-lined pans.
One rectangular pan and four muffin tins.
Final products: rectangle brownies and cupcakes.
"Now into the oven for about 25 minutes and done."
And I prepped something to do during those 25 minutes.
Hm.
Is it okay to go ahead as planned?
"Guys, Valentine's coming up, right? So I was gonna draw a viewer at random and send them handmade brownies."
— Hype Whoa lol — Believer Knew it damn it — Chant2 Jeon Jeonseol x6 — VirginAlert Never gotten chocolate on Valentine's ever, really want it — SobStory Who's already selling sob stories — VirginClub Think anyone here's gotten chocolate? One or two? — Stutter A... Ah... "Chat looked kinda scary earlier. All concepts, right? No one's actually catching feelings and turning stalker?"
— ConceptKing Obviously concept lol — LogicFail Sending handmade brownies but denying simp-taming? Lol — Chant3 NoBfNoBfNoBf spam — NoOverthink No overreading pls "See, chat? This is why it's scary to send any."
— BuryEm Bury those fuckers! — AntiStalker Fr, fake bfs are societal evil — DeathWish Die die die die... — CancelCheck So it's canceled?
