[TS] Starting the Broadcast

Chapter 50 - Caught!



The response to the 4th video uploaded on the YouTube channel was tremendous.
It seems like just yesterday that I was surprised when the 3rd video hit 110,000 views, but now, a day after uploading the 4th video!
“Wow, it’s a huge hit! Is this view count real? Am I seeing it wrong?”
[Congratulations. It’s a great achievement. The Goddess will be very pleased with the manager’s efforts and corresponding results.]
A whopping 570,000 views greet me.
I can’t even remember how many times the YouTube view count mission has been broken.
The number of subscribers has increased too.
It’s now at 28,000.
With a little more effort, it’ll be 30,000.
Achieving 100,000 subscribers before Mia’s birthday, which I thought was completely impossible at first, now seems possible.
‘Is this all thanks to the feminists? Of course, I don’t want to thank them, but…’
The conflict with the Women’s Era cafe has been cleanly resolved.
I don’t know how Yerin obtained it, but the file she sent was incredibly powerful.
People who enjoyed harassing and slandering celebrities while hiding their identities online and dodging around.
They were sued without any way out due to the clear evidence I had.
This time, I had no intention of being lenient like before.
I plan to firmly demand their punishment through Lawyer Park, whom Mia introduced.
And with that sharp momentum, the members of the Women’s Era cafe all became cautious.
Should I call it cutting off the tail?
They released a statement saying those 8 people had little to do with the cafe and turned a blind eye.
In fact, it was a minority including those 8 people who instigated the attack on my YouTube channel, while the majority of cafe members had no personal feelings towards me.
Actually, that was more problematic.
It was a situation where they flocked to bully someone else, falling for the instigation of some cafe members even without any connection.
But this is enough.
What great sense of mission do I have to settle things with them?
I just needed to protect my YouTube channel, that’s all.
I uploaded a fifth video containing this stance and decided to end this matter.
“2175 points…”
Although I had a busy week with the feminist issue, the points increased by about 500.
And now there’s a month left until Mia’s birthday.
“Alright, let’s keep going like this!”
As the goal that seemed vague becomes a bit closer, strength and motivation surge.

And that motivation sank like a lie as soon as the next day came.
There’s one reason.
It’s the group chat with old friends.
-Yunjin:
-Myunghoon: Hmm, is it okay to laugh at this?
-Byunghan: Guys, that kind of reaction is rude.
-Hani: ……

Because this incident was related to sensitive gender issues and social issues these days, a small internet news outlet wrote an article about it.
Yunjin, who unusually diligently looks for the day’s news, discovered that article.
Puzzled by the name BJ Hani, Yunjin looked me up and soon realized through cam broadcast videos that BJ Hani was the same person as me, and immediately contacted the friends.
And now they were fiercely teasing me.

-Yunjin: Please recommend a light novel titled ‘Regarding My Old Friend Being a Female Cam BJ’.
-Myunghoon: ㅋ This guy is really malicious. Look at how he’s teasing on purpose.
-Byunghan: No, a friend can do personal broadcasting too. Why are you teasing like that?
-Hani: Get lost! I don’t care about anything. I’m not going to this month’s gathering.
-Yunjin: ㅋ Then how sad that we can’t see your face this month? Ah! We can watch the broadcast!
-Myunghoon: Ah, that psycho bastard ㅋ
-Hani: You’re dead! Make sure to come to the gathering. Let’s meet in person!

When I first got caught, I was so embarrassed I wanted to die, but now anger comes first.
Especially against that Yunjin guy, I’m going to test my sharply trained abdominal punch.

-Yunjin: Wow! Are we really meeting the female cam BJ? Amazing, amazing!
-Hani: Don’t overdo it. You might die.
-Myunghoon: Yunjin, you might get all your hair pulled out. Be careful

At this point, there’s no trace of shame left.
Rather, I go a step further and pressure Yunjin.

-Hani: Yeah, since the popular female cam BJ is personally meeting you, join the fan club. You’re dead if you don’t become a special member.
-Yunjin: What reaction will you give if I become a special member? Will you do a popular dance or something?
-Myunghoon: ㅋ This is hilarious. Yeah Yunjin, since you teased so much, become a special member. Conscientiously.
-Byunghan: Sigh, are we all meeting next week? Tell me quickly so I can make a reservation.

Now that I’ve been caught anyway, I feel rather relieved.
So I boldly demanded from my friends.

-Hani: Everyone subscribe to my YouTube channel and set alarms. And make sure to like. After commenting, take a screenshot and upload it to the chat. If you don’t, you’ll taste my fist right away.
-Yunjin: No, this isn’t the reaction I expected. You’ve been broadcasting for two months, and your shamelessness has increased tremendously. ㄷㄷ;;
-Myunghoon: ㅋ You tried to tease but got hit back instead.
-Byunghan: Alright, just tell me if you’re all attending or not.

The chat room bickered for a while before ending with laughter.
All my friends encouraged me to do well, and we set a meeting date for two weeks later.
“Phew, I should eat lunch.”
It feels like I’ve fought a tough war.
After finishing the chat with my friends, I’m about to eat, and it’s another delivery meal as usual.
Then the helper warns me.
[It’s been over two months since you’ve been eating only high-calorie delivery food. If you don’t pay attention to your health and weight management, it’s dangerous.]
“What danger? I’m living just fine eating like this. Nom nom!”
Today’s lunch is slightly spicy sauce ribs.
Actually, soju and ribs would be perfect for dinner, but since I’ve been living a bit distant from alcohol after my body changed, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten ribs, so it was a lunch menu I chose after a long time.
As I’m deliciously eating the ribs, a thunderbolt-like sound comes from the helper’s mouth.
[If these poor lifestyle habits continue for a bit longer, there’s a chance that the ‘Balanced Body 3’ ability will drop to level 2. You need to be careful.]
“What?! The ability level can drop?”
How did I gather these points and raise this ability, how can you say such a terrible thing?
Regardless of my resentful reaction, the helper spoke with a sharp attitude.
[Remember when you gained the new ‘Expressiveness 2’ ability while singing during a broadcast last time? It’s the same as that. Even without using points, the manager’s development leads to the addition of new abilities, and likewise, if you maintain this unrestrained lifestyle like now, not just ‘Balanced Body 3’, other abilities can drop as well.]
“……”
It was certainly a reasonable point.
Even though I had abilities, I was still human.
The appearance of a normal human who gains weight when eating, whose health deteriorates after more than two months of staying at home, and who feels a bit depressed when that day comes.
Realizing this fact, I began to reflect a little on my current lifestyle.
‘It was pretty bad. Eating only delivery food for over two months and living like a hikikomori all day at home.’
Come to think of it, my weight seems to have increased slightly too.
It’s understandable since I’ve been eating only high-calorie delivery food every day.
I felt it before too, but there’s a sense of lethargy in my body condition due to lack of exercise… Anyway, an overall improvement in lifestyle was needed.
“I guess I need to exercise a bit.”
[That’s a good idea. The Goddess will bless the path of those who make efforts.]
This is perfect timing.
Since it’s already known that I’m currently broadcasting anyway, I thought it would be good to go to Myunghoon’s gym, which is just one station away.
‘What’s the use of having friends? Getting discounts, personal training if there’s time left, that kind of thing.’
With that thought, I immediately asked Myunghoon about it.
He gladly agreed.
Saying he wanted to fix that poor physical condition of mine anyway.
It was indeed a statement befitting a current trainer.
Afraid that setting too intense a schedule might lead to giving up after three days, we talked about going just three days a week for now.
We decided to adjust after actually experiencing it… Anyway, the first visit is tomorrow.
‘I’m busy, busy. I have to exercise, meet with friends, set a schedule for the next penalty broadcast as promised to the viewers… Whew, my head hurts.’
Even amidst all this, seeing the continuously increasing view count, likes, and subscriber numbers on the YouTube videos makes me feel good.
The points piling up thickly.
Having safely overcome the ‘crisis’ that came, now only good things should be ahead.
It was a day when I wanted to believe that.
