Seoyeon & Yejin Collab Broadcast
"You're doing YouTube? Me?"
"Yeah. YouTube."
I grinned brightly at Seoyeon's flustered expression.
"It's the perfect timing. We just got an ad deal, and your broadcast is on the rise."
"Especially that maid outfit broadcast — it was a hit. If you edit and upload that, the views will be insane."
The boss answered with a bright smile too.
"W-Wait a second. So my first YouTube video is going to be the maid outfit one?"
"Probably?"
"Agh! D-Don't upload that!"
"We'll use the thumbnail where you're tying your hair up and showing off your armpit. What do you think, our manager?"
"Sounds good."
Hearing the boss's words, she clenched both fists and expressed her embarrassment with her whole body.
"Ugh... That ajumma is really..."
After the ad broadcast, we decided to have a proper meeting about Seoyeon's YouTube channel.
"But manager. If we're starting YouTube, don't we need to find an editor?"
"For now, let's outsource one or two videos and see the reaction. There are plenty of people doing freelance editing per video these days."
"Really? That's a thing?"
We can hire an editor once the revenue actually starts coming in.
"Yeah. I'll tell them to edit it so your armpit shows well."
"Hoo... Fine. I surrender. Do whatever you want."
Even if the company was small, the cost of outsourcing a simple edit wouldn't be a problem.
"Speaking of which, boss..."
"Don't worry about the outsourcing cost. Oh, and we can charge more for that chicken ad we just did under the pretense of uploading it to YouTube."
"That's brilliant."
"More importantly..."
The boss started rummaging through her pocket and pulled something out. She handed me what looked like a transparent card case.
"A gift for our manager."
"What's this...?"
"Read it."
Singgeul Bunggeul Internet Broadcasting Management
Manager. Kwon Seojun
010-xxxx-xxxx
"A... business card? My business card."
"Yeah. I'm counting on you from now on."
It was just an ordinary business card, but I didn't know what to say. It felt really satisfying.
Meanwhile, Yejin was looking at it with wonder, going "Ooh, aah."
"Wow... Seojun, this makes you look like a real professional manager."
"I am a professional manager. I got you that ad deal, didn't I?"
"I'm jealous. Seojun, if you ever get an ad offer for me, you have to tell me, okay?"
"Haha... sure."
After the little party wound down, I habitually checked the affection grinding app.
So they give points for stuff like this too? Thanks.
Just then, the section labeled [Streamer] started blinking brightly. I tapped it and went in — Yejin's lock had disappeared.
Age:22
Average Viewers:500~600
YouTube Subscribers:Not started yet
Recommended Content:Cafe concept, advice corner
Relationship Experience:0 times.
Sexual Experience:0 times.
That's surprising. With a personality like Yejin's, I thought she'd have dated at least once or twice.
And the most important thing — the affection grinding method...
[Method: ???]
Ah, fuck! I cursed inwardly, and as if it heard me, a new unlock condition appeared that hadn't been there before.
Collect 3 Hoooh Gam Points.
I got one from the business card achievement just now, and I'll get a second one soon from starting the YouTube channel. That leaves one more.
Achievement: Get Lee Seoyeon's YouTube to 5,000 subscribers
How very considerate of this app. Next it'll be doing auto-hunting for me.
For unlocking the affection grind, and for Seoyeon who wants to become Streamer of the Year — I need to make this YouTube channel a real success.
"What are you staring at so intently, manager?"
"Nothing. But did you decide on a channel name?"
"Channel name...? Um..."
"How about Seoyeoning Heart?"
"Ajumma, please be quiet!"
A few days later, in the morning at the office. Seoyeon's YouTube channel had been created. The channel name was [Lee Seoyeon]. The plain dryness of it was so Seoyeon.
"Oh. Oh! The subscribers are going up again. There are comments too! Gotta give them hearts."
The video titled [A Streamer Who Wore a Maid Outfit for the First Time] was approaching 3,000 views. The likes overwhelmingly outnumbered the dislikes. Subscriber count was around 2,000. At this rate, hitting 5,000 would just be a matter of time. But still, I wondered if there was a way to speed things up.
"I should go live and promote the YouTube channel!"
"Hold on."
"Huh?"
An interesting idea came to me.
"Is Yejin broadcasting right now?"
"She was in the studio getting ready earlier. Why?"
"How about you two do a collab broadcast? You can promote the YouTube channel while you're at it."
"Hmm..."
Seoyeon didn't look thrilled.
"What? You don't like it?"
"It's not a bad suggestion, but... can Yejin keep up with my broadcast energy?"
"Pfft."
Whenever she said something ridiculous with a straight face, I could never tell if she was serious or joking. I just gave an awkward laugh and answered.
"You can lead her well."
"Fine. I guess I'll have to go teach her a few things."
In front of Yejin's studio. Knock knock! Seoyeon rapped hard on the door.
"Hey, Ms. Kim! Are you broadcasting?"
"No~ If you want to come in, just come in."
Unlike Seoyeon's bare, unadorned studio, Yejin's was filled with all kinds of plush dolls and knick-knacks. It had a cute, cozy vibe.
"What brings you two here? Don't tell me you came to hand out rice cakes because you're dating?"
"Rice cakes my ass! We came to propose a collab broadcast."
"C-Collab?!"
"Yeah. To promote the YouTube channel. Killing two birds with one stone."
"Hmm..."
Time to persuade the pensive Yejin.
"If we edit and upload the collab, it'll help you out too."
"But what about Seoyeon's viewers... They're a bit harsh, aren't they? I'm a little worried."
"You just watch and learn from this unnie here. Taming the chat is my specialty."
Seoyeon's posturing was so cute I let out a puff of laughter.
"Ahaha. Yeah? Then let's give it a shot."
"If you can't keep up with my broadcast energy, just say so."
"Seojun, did this girl drink this morning?"
"If only. This is her usual self."
"What the hell are you saying! You wanna die?"
Before she left the studio, I called out to Seoyeon.
"What?"
"Since you're promoting anyway, why not make a pledge for when you hit 5,000 subscribers?"
"Hmm... What should I do?"
"Like wearing the maid outfit again..."
"Hell no!"
Her voice was so loud that Yejin must have heard it too.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly screaming..."
"Ah. We were talking about a subscriber pledge. I'll get going now. Do well on your broadcast."
She acts all angry now, but I know she'll be wearing it soon enough.
I left the studio and decided to wait for the broadcast to start.
[Broadcast Title: Hello~ Today is Yejin's Day too]
If Seoyeon's viewers were a bit rough, Yejin's viewers felt warm and gentle. Like the teddy bear in her studio.
"Ehehe. Welcome, everyone. You all know I'm part of Singgeul Bunggeul Internet Broadcasting Management, right?! Well, I'm going to do a collab with the hot new streamer Seoyeon from the same company."
Slowly, Seoyeon's viewers started filtering in too. Meanwhile, Seoyeon appeared on the broadcast screen.
"Hello. I'm streamer Lee Seoyeon, who just opened a YouTube channel yesterday. Please hit subscribe, like, and turn on notifications."
"You're showing your true colors way too fast!"
"Lower?! How many does it have?"
A fan-made channel. [Lee Seoyeon The Tenacious]. Current subscriber count: 5,000.
"What the hell! Don't subscribe to crap like that and subscribe to the official channel!"
"Ahaha. That's hilarious. The official channel is getting crushed by a fan channel."
"Don't laugh..."
"Hey, owner of this channel! Take that channel down and tell everyone to subscribe to mine!"
"Speaking of which, I heard Seoyeon has a subscriber pledge~"
"Uh, no I don't?"
"No, I mean... uh... How about a 24-hour no-sleep gaming marathon?"
"If you do that, your viewer count will get cut in half."
"Cut it off! Cut it off!"
"That actually came out really well. Be honest, you did that on purpose, right?"
"I didn't..."
Seoyeon closed her eyes as if she'd made up her mind and answered.
"Fine. I got it. Hoo... If I hit 5,000 subscribers, I'll wear the maid outfit one more time, okay?"
"If I'm just wearing the maid outfit, I'll be cold... Should I wear stockings too?"
"Wow... Seoyeon acts all innocent but she knows exactly what guys like."
"Huh? That's not it. I'm actually cold, so I'd wear them..."
Thanks to Seoyeon's bold pledge, the YouTube channel's subscriber count started climbing steadily. Meanwhile, Yejin pulled something out and showed it to Seoyeon.
"I didn't have much prepared since this was sudden, but I've got this!"
"W-What is that?"
It was chocolate.
"An ASMR staple. Eating chocolate."
"Chocolate? Isn't that something kids do?"
"Are you implying you look down on people who like chocolate?"
"N-No, I'm not."
"Alright, I'll give it a shot. ASMR chocolate mukbang."
Seoyeon munched on the chocolate, her face turning red. She was probably thinking about something with a similar viscosity to semen.
"Hehehe... It's so sweet. I'm happy."
"What's this~ You said it was something kids do, but you're totally loving it."
"Shut up!"
"Ahaha. Seoyeon's viewers are really funny."
"What's this? Why is everyone except me in such a warm and fuzzy mood? But hey, is ASMR and stuff all you've got for content?"
"Hmm... Making drinks or desserts? My parents run a cafe, so I picked up a few things."
"Oh. Nice. Then mix me a soju and coke."
"Everyone, isn't this the worst? Someone asking for alcohol at a cafe..."
"I'll kill this 'baby Seoyeon'!"
"C-Calm down! This is my room. Don't go killing people in here."
