Chapter Title: Am I a Streaming Genius?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, I know it's not common.
A streamer gets a gift and thinks, "She must like me after all! We're soulmates!"—guys like that aren't exactly a dime a dozen.
But even if the odds are low, to the one it happens to, it's 100%, right?
No matter how rare they are or how slim the chances of running into one, once you do, it's exhausting and dangerous as hell.
Maybe the best policy is to leave no room for it at all.
Room...
Any opening...
A stalker's idea of "romance" is as vast as the Pacific Ocean—damn near impossible to dodge completely.
No, avoiding it entirely is straight-up impossible.
'That's why I'm holed up at home.'
Going outside terrifies me, and forming any kind of relationship with someone? That's several times harder.
Even meeting up with Manager Noona, a fellow woman, took some serious resolve.
'A fellow woman.'
The weight pressing down on my shoulders from these breasts (fake ones).
The boobs might be fake, but the weight? That's real. This shit's heavy.
No matter how much I deny it, that fact doesn't change.
I can take off the suit whenever, but that won't revert my gender.
I'm not about to insist people treat me like a guy with a body like this.
I know that's not feasible anyway.
But my head's getting all messed up over it.
The truth is, my tastes align with the guys.
I end up thinking, "I don't want to be lonely anymore."
'Isn't there absolutely no one who won't fall for me? Someone who'll just stick around as a friend.'
Back when I was a guy, they were a dime a dozen.
But since turning into this? Haven't seen a single one.
Maybe it'd be faster to hunt down a girl with guy-like hobbies?
But that's like a mythical creature.
Ah, wait—one exists.
Me.
This dumb delusion pops up of playing rock-paper-scissors with my mirror self.
💬 Chat — Viewer Did this one fall asleep sitting up? — Viewer Wake up, Jeon Jeonseol! Gotta keep streaming! — Viewer Jeon Jeonseol mouthing words with her boyfriend behind the camera? Upvote spam incoming I must've zoned out hard because the chat was filling up with all sorts of nonsense.
"What boyfriend behind the camera? You crazy bastards. You come up with the wildest shit."
— Viewer Ao, dark stock hater — Viewer One guy said it, but we're all getting lumped in? Unfair! — Viewer Tyrant Jeon Jeonseol, abolish guilt by association! "Ah, sorry. Force of habit."
Viewers are a crowd, but each one's an individual.
Hard as hell for the human brain to process that.
What is this, a locust swarm?
— Viewer Quick apology is fine — Viewer Do better next time lol "Thanks. Appreciate it."
Saying I'm too scared of stalkers to send even one gift? That's ridiculous.
Not that I'm gonna half-ass it, though.
Sender address will be the company one.
I had the whole plan ready.
"Alright, let's do the draw."
I turned off the camera for a sec and headed to the streaming room.
Been filming on my phone, but streaming via the PC.
Quick setup, then into the mic:
"Taking applications for 3 minutes, picking 10 winners. Want in on the brownie lottery? Type 1 in chat."
And soon after, massive lag hit.
1's flooding the screen endlessly.
Chat's exploding!
'Insane participation rate.'
Figured lots would sit out since addresses are public.
But with 30k viewers, the firepower's nuts.
— Viewer What, only 10? — Viewer 1 — Viewer 1 — Viewer 1 — Viewer Seol-type, 30k watching and only 10? Too stingy, no? — Viewer 1 — Viewer 1 — Viewer 2 — Viewer Making us type 1? Smells like political motives — Viewer 1 — Viewer Competition ratio 3000:1 legend lol — Viewer 1 Lag freezing chat let me catch glimpses of the bullshit flying by.
Complaints that 10's too few, too.
But isn't 10 a lot?
Manager Noona, Seol-yoon, Dad, plus 10 for viewers—that's all-day baking.
I'm not running a damn bakery.
Chat and stream lagging too hard to continue, so after 3 minutes, entries closed.
13,000 participants?
Yeah, 10 was too stingy.
"Entries closed. Yeah, 10 out of 13k is pretty low. How about gift icons as consolation? The point is getting one from a girl."
People might think my thoughts and actions don't match—telling 'em not to treat me like a girl, but handing out chocolates? Stock training?
But thinking of the average viewer getting zero on Valentine's... even I'd wanna shove one their way.
— Viewer Nice — Viewer Best Jeon Seol — Viewer Jeon Cho Ko — Viewer 1111111111111 — Viewer You're too kind-hearted ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ — Viewer I'll follow you forever, boss — Viewer So how many total? Seeing the viewers hyped up mine too.
"Dropping 20 gift icons."
— Viewer Light light light — Viewer Stream's glitching, only seeing light — Viewer Total 30? Gonna take forever to send — Viewer ??? : Manager, handle this pls "Who said tell the manager? No meaning if I don't do it myself."
— Viewer Kya — Viewer No stock training no stock training no stock training — Viewer Not training stock!!!!!!! — Viewer Treating viewers for real... What the hell have these people been through?
Internet streaming? Only peeked for study purposes, so not clued in.
"All at once is boring, so 5 brownies, 20 gift icons, then 5 more brownies."
— Viewer Bang bang know ㄷㄷ — Viewer Event running smooth af — Viewer Details on point "Oh, no duplicate wins."
Doubt it'd happen with this crowd, but you never know.
"Draw time."
Roulette spinning wildly.
Winners' IDs revealed.
System allows 1:1 chat with winners, so I asked the first one for a comment.
"Congrats on winning. One word?"
— Winner Love you Jeon Jeonseol — Viewer Jeon. Sa. ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer Who is Jeon Jeonseol? To the blind, she is eyes. To the hungry solo, she gives chocolate. To the lonely solo, she streams. If Jeon Jeonseol claims it, I agree. If Jeon Jeonseol speaks, I listen. If Jeon Jeonseol has one fan, it's me. If Jeon Jeonseol has zero fans, I don't exist. "One word, asshole. When'd you prep that?"
Knew they'd win or what?
Prayed while typing in notepad maybe.
Hard to believe they wrote that essay on the spot.
— Viewer Solo Savior Jeon Jeonseol ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ — Viewer What template is that — Viewer This a soup kitchen? — Viewer Gimme choco! — Viewer Jeon Jeonseol must ration chocolate!!! "Memes aside, personal stuff's better... but you used your shot."
— Viewer This ain't stock training? This ain't? — Viewer FOXFOXFOXFOXFOXFOX — Viewer No judge! She tempted me first! No, isn't some real human emotion exchange better than rote memes?
That FOX FOX crap's just mimicry.
Not sure.
Maybe they get belonging from consuming memes.
No need to force 'em to stop if they think it's fun.
Streamer's job is delivering fun, right?
Tried interviewing the second winner too.
Skip if boring? 30 to go.
— Winner Whoa Taking my zero Valentine's chocolates to one. Truly thankful Thank you thank you thank you Grand bow right up on LightIt Snapped it the second I won "You posted that?"
Checked Jeon Jeonseol board on LightIt—yep, a grand bow video.
Grand bow: head-planting bow from handstand, peak human politeness.
High difficulty too.
—"Thank you!"
~8-second clip: bow then booming thanks.
"No need to go that far. Dangerous as hell. Words suffice."
— Viewer Words alone don't convey sincerity — Viewer Half-assed won't reach the heart No, fair point.
Sticks in your head more than empty lip service.
But spouting anime lines like that outta nowhere...
"Khk!"
Yeah yeah, good job.
I like it.
⚙ DONATION ⚙ Anon donated 1,000 won. "Streamer's reactions are trash-tier, but viewers are generous af." "Told you not to donate, but you keep doing it. Your fault."
People expect returns on donations—reward psychology.
Too heavy for me still.
Draws continued after that.
Some plain "thanks," others risking it all to top the grand bow.
30 peeps, all sorts of characters.
Interaction streams without games? Pretty fun.
Tons of YouTube clip potential too.
Am I a streaming genius?
