Chapter 6
Yesterday’s party turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.
For most of the time, I quietly passed the time, just eating by myself, but halfway through, there was something like a networking session, so I ended up chatting with various streamers. Among them was Bandal Bear, my favorite streamer.
Although I was a bit flustered when I unexpectedly met one of my fans and my face got revealed, I figured it wasn’t a big deal since it’s not like my face is a problem to be exposed anyway.
After all, I didn’t even take a single photo with anyone, so there was no way my face could be revealed. They didn’t seem the type to do that anyway.
Anyway, after spending such a fresh day, I returned to my usual routine and, just like always, turned on the broadcast at exactly 6 o’clock.
“Cosmo has started broadcasting.”
‘Twip Party Storytime + Chill’
When I put up the title and checked later, it was funny to see that not just me, but other streamers on the ranking all had ‘party storytime’ as their title too.
Looks like everyone thinks the same way.
【Kokkiyaho】 – Koha
【Passing App Dungi】 – Koha
【Alpaca Hunter】 – Koha
As soon as familiar nicknames popped up in the chat window to greet me, a donation came flying in.
“CosmoJeoldejiGyeoche” donated 10,000 won.
– Koha! Did you have fun at the Twip Party?
Ah, the chairman has shown up again today. It really seems like there’s no day he doesn’t show up. I wish there was something I could do for such people.
“Thank you for the donation! Yes, I was squished in a corner like a loser, but I had a good time. They offered me some drinks, but maybe that’s why I felt exhausted this morning.”
【White Forest】 – You drunk? Can’t handle socializing, huh?
【Lucid Dream 7】 – That’s why you don’t socialize, lol.
【Whirlwind Flower】 – Seriously, lol.
These guys…
Look at them rush in just because I said one thing? And what do you mean I don’t socialize? I do everything I need to. I go to the dentist regularly and hit the gym.
Oh, is that not considered socializing? Anyway, whatever.
“Just now, Kokkiyaho donated 1,000 won.”
– How much did you drink then?
“Not much. Just about three glasses of wine?”
I showed three fingers as an answer, despite not having a cam to show it.
I know I’m generally weak with alcohol, so even when there are occasions, I try to refrain as much as possible. Yesterday, if anything, I drank a bit more due to the atmosphere.
That doesn’t mean I dislike alcohol. I occasionally enjoy a can of beer when I have time at home. I just dislike getting completely wasted.
【Kokkiyaho】 – Damn, you’re weak with alcohol.
【Glasses With Lock】 – Still, you’re stronger than me!
【Arisa Loves It】 – A single shot of soju makes me red too, lol.
Looks like there are plenty of fellow socially inept people here too. So, are we comrades? That “all you have is each other” saying really comes to mind. You guys are all I have.
“Anyway, I’m going to keep the story-sharing simple today and move on to the game we didn’t finish last time, is that alright? Honestly, I don’t have that many juicy stories.”
【Cro-Magnon】 – Unexpectedly sounds like it wasn’t that fun?
【Moscos】 – I came with high expectations, but the response is lukewarm.
【Seafood Sauce】 – I’m okay with it, yeah.
“No, it wasn’t boring, just not a whole lot to share.”
If there’s someone from the broadcasting crew watching this, please don’t misunderstand. It was definitely not boring. So, please invite me to the next party.
“I took some pictures, and the food quality was really good.”
【Soju Flavored Hand Cream】 – Other streamers said the same thing.
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】 – Oh wow, look at that presentation!
【BlueRageGame】 – Seems like the quality improved from last time?
Since the viewers have heard about last year’s year-end party from other streamers, they seem to have something to compare.
As the viewers looked over the food pictures I shared and praised the quality, I felt a sense of pride for having been treated well, puffing up my shoulders a bit.
“They had steak available for separate orders, and I tried that later too. It was really delicious. But I thought it might be a bit pricey, so I only ordered it once and just stuffed myself at the buffet.”
【Catfish With Salmon】 – Why are you worrying about that, lol.
【Kokkiyaho】 – Serious: Weird stuff takes up way too much of his mind.
【Neighbor Hani】 – But it does look pricey lol.
Oh, was that enough to be a topic of teasing? If I’d known, I would have just kept my mouth shut. I totally gave them an opening to joke on me, sigh.
“CosmoJeoldejiGyeoche donated 1,000 won.”
– You could’ve eaten more; it’s not that expensive a cut, you know.
“Really? Is it not an expensive cut?”
When the chairman mentioned it, I was taken aback and asked back. Isn’t steak supposed to be expensive? I haven’t eaten steak much, so do I not know?
I guess the chairman often eats these kinds of things, so he figured it out instantly. There’s a difference in palate, for sure.
“Anyway, the meal was satisfactory. Oh, and I have something to brag about….”
【Whirlwind Flower】 – ?
【Adios Dao】 – ?
【Pink Rabbit】 – Is it a vet band?
These guys immediately cut me off before I could begin.
But so what? This is my broadcast. What can you all do? Besides sitting there and being jealous, what can you do, you guys?
“Actually, I met a fan for the first time at the party? And she was a woman.”
While confidently brushing off the hooks aimed at me, another hook came up, almost like they were expecting it.
【Kokkiyaho】 – ?
【Bera666】 – What kind of nonsense is that?
【JeobiChuriSal】 – How would she know who you are?
The responses generally seem puzzled.
It’s somewhat understandable. After all, I don’t show my face on my broadcast, so it’s strange someone would recognize me. But it really happened!
“I was surprised too; I had shown my outfit the day before on the broadcast. I guess she remembered that. So she came over to chat after some hesitation.”
【I’m Telling The Teacher】 – Really? Is that possible?
【Kyunghwa Soo Wool】 – What streamer was it?
Since it was a streamer-only party, they likely assumed everyone present was a streamer. I better quench any misunderstandings.
“She wasn’t a streamer; she was a staff member there. They said they were urgently called in because there weren’t enough hands that day.”
【White Forest】 – Oh, timing was on point.
【Arisa Loves It】 – If she remembered your outfit, she’s probably a true fan.
【Passing App Dungi】 – That’s kind of creepy, huh.
I find it hard to believe it was just a coincidence, though life is full of such things, right?
Well, it’s not like she planned to find me and remember my outfit, then disguised herself as staff to approach me. There’s no way someone could pull off something like that.
“Seafood Sauce donated 1,000 won.”
– If the protagonist of his story is watching this broadcast, please show yourself!
“What a nuisance, you guys.”
Since she didn’t even tell me her name before leaving, it’s likely she’s just watching the broadcast from afar. It’s better to just mention it lightly and move on.
“CosmoJeoldejiGyeoche donated 10,000 won.”
– What kind of person was she?
“What kind of person? Um…. She was a woman, and she was really pretty. Definitely a type I’ve never seen before. Kind of like a high-tier race from a comic?”
【Kokkiyaho】 – What the heck.
【White Whale】 – What does that even mean, you filthy nerd?
The truth begins to reveal itself here.
I mean, these bastards…
They were okay with the fact that a fan recognized me by my outfit, but just because the fact that she was a pretty woman changed, they turned against me and dismissed my story as nonsense.
Are they real pieces of work?
“CosmoJeoldejiGyeoche – Was she really that pretty?
“Oh, absolutely. She was definitely a beauty I’d never even dream of holding hands with. Of course, it’s not just because she was pretty, but I was happy just knowing she was a fan….”
I thought it would sound too lovelorn, so I added a little more at the end.
Of course, I enjoyed feasting my eyes on her since she was a beauty, and it did bring joy, but the fact that she was my fan was what truly made me happy.
“CosmoJeoldejiGyeoche – I hope you meet her again someday!”
As I nodded at the chairman’s continuing comment, I felt that wish was speaking for itself, making me feel a bit strange.
Will I ever get to meet her again?
