Chapter Title: Panic Field's Ad Proposal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"If you don't wanna die, forgive me."
💬 Comments — [lololol I did it for you^^7] [Cha-ching!] — [This is making me so dizzy lololol] "There you go. Should've done that from the start. Gotta watch your manners."
I swapped out the mic and was chatting with viewers when Snowy, munching on a flower, hopped onto my shoulder with the petal still in her mouth.
— [What is that?] — [WTF that's insanely cute] "This is Snowy."
— [lolol cuteness overload] — [Hey Snowy] — [Does she eat standing up lolol is that a rabbit?] I glanced at Snowy, who was standing on my shoulder on her hind legs, holding the flower in her front paws.
— [Rabbit jump power is insane lol] — [Since when have you been raising her?] "We've been living together since yesterday. Snowy, these are my friends. Say hi."
I held my palm up to my shoulder, and Snowy hopped onto it, then waved her front paw at the screen.
— [Whoa so freaking cute lolololol] — [She's super smart] "She's smart like me."
— [lol;;] — [Yeah right lol;;;] — [All-Power Wizard;;] "Not gonna wipe off that cold sweat?"
While I was introducing Snowy to the viewers, a donation popped up.
— [Cha-ching!] [PanicField donated 1,000,000 won] [Hello, Han Ga-eul. I'm contacting you regarding an ad opportunity.] — [Oh is this legit?] — [lolol probably cuz thousands flooded in last time] — [Nice, clean intro unlike others] I saw the donation under the Panic Field name and started a 1:1 chat.
"Hello."
- [PanicField]: Hello, Han Ga-eul. Sorry for contacting you here since no contact info was listed.
"No worries. But you're really from Panic Field?"
- [PanicField]: Yes. We reached out because we saw your influence and want to offer an ad deal.
— [Legit clean] — [lolol this is how it's done] I pondered the chat from Panic Field and continued.
"There are tons of streamers with more viewers than me who are way better at games. Why me?"
- [PanicField]: Not many can boost concurrent viewers by thousands with a single word. Plus other factors.
"What factors?"
- [PanicField]: Straight up: looks, voice, game knowledge. And we saw your military vid a few days ago.
"Hmm..."
While I mulled over the Panic Field staff's chats, the viewer chat kept rolling.
- [PanicField]: Ad meeting had tons of proposals to hire celebs.
- [PanicField]: Han Ga-eul, would gamers play just cuz some celeb who knows nothing about the game advertises it? Sounds fun, right?
- [PanicField]: As a gamer myself, I know better than anyone that's not it.
- [PanicField]: Above all, we're gamers who love games.
— [Damn Panic Field likeability up] — [lolol they get it] I'd only asked out of curiosity and planned to decline, but their last message made my heart sway.
Back when I ate ramen while my character chowed down on steak in-game.
It was fun for sure.
"I'll do it. I like the vibe."
- [PanicField]: Can we discuss details in person?
"Of course."
I shared my area, and they asked if now worked. I said yes, and they replied they'd be quick.
"Guys, you saw the chat? Sudden outdoor stream today."
— [Outdoor stream go] — [Ga-eul outdoor streams are peak fun lol] — [Roomie let's go quick] At the viewers' urging, I picked an outfit and spotted my military jacket. I shoved it in front of the cam.
"Should I wear this?"
— [Whoa check those patches so pretty] — [But can you wear that?] "Grandpa pinned these on. Who's gonna say shit?"
— [Fr lolol who dares] — [That Cheonhajin warrant officer was scary af lol] — [I thought she looked badass, total aura] — [lolol Army HQ chief warrant officer, jealous? Bring higher up] I showed off the jacket to viewers, then threw on jeans and a tee, draping the jacket over my shoulders.
For the finishing touch, I pushed my dot sunglasses up onto my forehead and stood in front of the cam.
— [Damn girl in military jacket slays lol] — [What combo is that lolol but so pretty] — [Roomie in jacket is so hip lol] "Guys, switching to phone. Wait up."
— [^^7] — [Don't come back or I jump] I grabbed the mount, clipped it to my phone, and switched the stream over.
"Can you see okay?"
— [Yes boss looks on point today too] — [So pretty] The rep said they'd arrive soon, so heading out now meant just a short wait.
"Thanks to you guys, I'm doing ads and it feels weird."
— [lolol why our fault? Cuz roomie is hot af] — [Fr lol] "Thanks, you brats. But I know zilch about contracts. What do?"
— [Cha-ching!] [AutumnGoodForSmoking donated 100,000 won] [Corporate lawyer here. Contract review/consult 100% possible] — [lolol lawyer nick and speech match?] — [Screw up and you're dead lol] "Fuck, look at that nick. You a real lawyer?"
I pulled out a cig and stuck it in my mouth while waiting for the self-proclaimed lawyer's reply.
"Phew─"
— [Roomie smoking is peak sexy] — [Lips so pretty] Mid-drag, Snowy dashed over and leaped onto my shoulder.
"Owner, why leave me behind?"
Her tiny front paw poked my cheek repeatedly.
"Wanna come along?"
"Yeah."
Snowy must've been so busy nibbling petals that when she snapped out of it, I was gone and chased after.
— [Baby bunny jumps like that?] — [That's not good, that's insane lol real rabbit?] — [Love Snowy] "All done eating?"
"Yeah."
While chatting with Snowy, another donation came in.
— [Cha-ching!] [AutumnGoodForSmoking donated 100,000 won] [I’m seriousㅠㅠ] "Anyway, can't show you the contract on phone, so I'll go check it out first and ask if weird. Thanks AutumnGoodForSmoking. Feels solid now."
— [Want nickname too] — [AutumnSmokeGood lol] — [Cha-ching!] [RedParade donated 1,000,000 won] [Can send lawyer too] "Thanks Red. No competing weirdly. If it flops, I'll ask."
I excused myself to viewers on the way and paused the stream briefly.
"Snowy, let's go."
I stubbed out the cig, filter burnt down, and headed out with Snowy.
Meetup was nearby, so the cafe appeared quick. As I approached, a suited guy at the entrance spoke up.
"Hello. I'm the Panic Field operator who messaged earlier."
"Hi. Han Ga-eul. You're early."
"I set the meet, gotta be here first."
He smiled, saying he'd arrived ahead and booked a meeting room in the cafe.
"Can I turn the stream back on?"
"Sure."
I pulled my phone from my pocket and resumed streaming.
"Guys, at the meetup spot."
— [Hey hey] — [Rep already here?] "Got here before me."
Chatting with viewers, we went up to the second floor and into the reserved meeting room.
Sitting across from the operator, I noticed his gaze on my shoulder.
"This is Snowy."
"Ah, yes. Nice to meet you... Snowy."
— [lolol Snowy-nim?] — [Rep loves cute too lol] "I'm Park Sung-woo, overall director at Three Games."
— [Whoa big shot] — [Why exec handling contract?] Viewers' chat showed he was high up.
"To the point: two offers. First, ad shoot and online exposure. Second, character based on you."
Ad made sense, but character felt rushed.
"I'm not that famous. Ad okay, but character too much?"
"You're right, Han Ga-eul. But meeting you makes me think we must launch it."
"Hmm... Isn't it hasty? Could wait for ad results."
— [Why reversed lolol] — [Roomie discouraging, director pushing lol] "I've devoted my life to game dev. My gut says this is a hit—must grab it."
I chewed on Director Park Sung-woo's words, then lifted Snowy onto my palm and offered her.
"Then include Snowy too."
Caught off guard, he blinked then smiled.
"I'd love that. Great character incoming."
"Told ya, Snowy. Shake on it."
Snowy, standing meerkat-style on my palm, raised a front paw slightly.
— [Whoa lolol so cute] — [Rabbits that smart?] "Uh... Nice to work with, Snowy."
Stunned by her move, the director tentatively touched her paw with his finger.
"Call her casual."
"Ah, yeah. Looking forward, Snowy."
Snowy's ears perked at his words as she climbed to my head and settled.
"Shall we start with the contract I brought?"
The contract he handed over had bigger numbers than expected.
Ad Fee: 100 million won
Character Launch: 50 million won
"This for me? I'm no celeb."
"Budget planned for celeb hire. Meeting you, feels too low."
"Still, company approves this for an internet streamer?"
He laughed at my question.
"We can move this much easily. Top celebs get 500 mil to 800 mil sometimes."
"Hmm."
As I pondered the contract, he continued.
"Better lock it before your rates skyrocket."
"Me... what."
"If hesitant, tour our company? Seeing the scale might convince you."
"Not worried about no pay. Know Panic Field's popularity."
After much thought, I agreed to tour the Panic Field dev company per the director's suggestion.
