Chapter 87

Evening time.

I woke up from sleep and struggled to get up from the bed.

‘…What time is it?’

First, to check the time, I picked up the phone I had placed by the bedside.

The current time was 6 PM.

I still had plenty of time before the appointment.

Next, I checked the chat.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gyesekkihoon! Haha!

【Maehwa Tree】─You slept for a long time.

【Drifting AI】─I’ll speak. They say hello.

【Handsome Licker】─You’re awake. *Lick*.

The broadcast was still on.

Guburi had asked me to keep it on even if I was just sleeping.

“…Wait, were you guys watching me sleep this whole time? The chat popping up right now is giving me chills.”

【Handsome Licker】─Yep. I was licking the screen the whole time. *Lick*.

【Maehwa Tree】─You said you’d sleep for about 10 hours, so I timed it right.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I checked the broadcast for a bit, and you just happened to wake up. You think I’m some loser who stares at male cams all day? -_-

【Qkrnfl892】─LOL, pretending not to be a loser.

【Handsome Licker】─Loser vibes. *Lick*.

【Min Ji】─I just woke up~

【Yoho】─Don’t care.

【Qkrnfl892】─Anyway, watching the broadcast during training is the best. LOL.

【Handsome Licker】─And that’s supposed to be our country’s soldier? Pfft.

【Qkrnfl892】─? Still better than you being a moral teacher. Lazy brat.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Same old bitches biting each other. LOL. You’re all the same.

Most of the viewers were already awake.

These guys don’t sleep, and they must have nothing better to do.

“Guburi, aren’t you going to work? Even if others aren’t, the food industry is super busy right now.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Today’s my day off. LOL.

“Really? You didn’t get fired, did you?”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I didn’t get fired. F*ck.

【Handsome Licker】─LOL, Guburi getting fired wouldn’t even be surprising. *Lick*.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Se-hoon’s awake!

【Maid】─He’s awake!

I leaned against the wall by the bed.

Yawning, I stared blankly at my phone.

I had just woken up, so moving felt like a hassle.

【Jujijoa】─What? You’re awake? But why are you spacing out? Aren’t you going to wash up?

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Owo!? You’re awake! Gotta wake up my daughter. Hehe.

【Big Girl】─Hello.

“Big Girl’s here too? Where were you this morning? There wasn’t a single chat from you.”

【Big Girl】─Ah. I was a bit busy.

【Maehwa Tree】─Just admit you overslept.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─LOL, pretending to be busy. You’re such a loser. LOL.

【Yoho】─Gyeongsaeng, not everyone lives the same life as you.

【Handsome Licker】─LOL. *Lick*.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I’m not a loser, okay? LOL.

【Min Ji】─You’re so excited now that you’ve got a job~

【Qkrnfl892】─It’s amazing how someone like that even got employed.

【Min Ji】─And don’t look down on the unemployed~

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─If you’re unhappy, get a job. LOL.

【Min Ji】─I’m a rich unemployed person, so I don’t need a job~ Hehe.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─F*cking b*tch.

After staring at the chat for a while, I finally thought it was time to wash up and got up from my seat.

【Big Girl】─Se-hoon.

【Big Girl】─Se-hoon.

【Big Girl】─Se-hoon.

I paused for a moment when I saw Big Girl’s chat.

If it were Guburi spamming, I would’ve ignored it.

But since it was Big Girl, who’s usually quiet, I couldn’t help but be curious.

“Big Girl, what’s up?”

【Big Girl】─Do you remember the faces of the people we saw at the construction site earlier?

“Construction site? The one where the hotel was? You were watching the broadcast then too?”

【Big Girl】─Yes. I was watching the broadcast, but I was a bit busy, so I couldn’t chat.

【Yoho】─That’s a random question.

【Min Ji】─Whatever.

Big Girl must’ve been watching the broadcast too.

She was on the viewer list.

But since there were no chats from her, I thought she just left the broadcast on without watching.

Anyway.

As Yoho said, it was a really random question.

“…You’re asking if I remember the faces of the people we saw there? Well, I remember a few. But why are you asking?”

【Big Girl】─Do you remember the tall woman with a scar on her left eye?

“Scar?”

I think I know who you’re talking about.

That person was unforgettable.

Among the people in black suits.

She was the only one wearing a gray suit.

Plus.

She was taller than the others, and the scar on her face made her stand out.

“I know who you’re talking about. The one in the gray suit, right?”

【Big Girl】─Yes. That’s right.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Oh. I remember her too. She was on camera for a bit.

【Handsome Licker】─Who are you talking about? *Lick*.

【Jujijoa】─There was this guy who looked like a thug.

【Min Ji】─You guys have such good memories~

“So why are you asking about that? Do you know her?”

【Big Girl】─I’m a bit acquainted with her. But what did you think of her face? She really hates her face, saying it’s hideous… I wanted to hear other people’s opinions.

“Ah. So you really know her?”

I was surprised.

But it’s something that could happen.

Big Girl said she works around here.

“Hideous? I thought she looked fine? Even from a distance, she seemed pretty.”

【Jujijoa】─Ah. Big Girl’s acquaintance? Yeah, she was pretty.

【Maehwa Tree】─You just said she looked like a thug.

【Jujijoa】─When did I say that, idiot?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I don’t know about pretty, but the scar was really cool.

【Handsome Licker】─I didn’t see her, but she was pretty. *Lick*.

【Big Girl】─Thank you.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Why are you thanking them, you f*cker. LOL.

“Anyway. She’s definitely not hideous, so tell her to have some confidence.”

【Big Girl】─Yes! Hehe.

【Qkrnfl892】─Big Girl, hehe, this is the first time I’ve seen you like this.

【Yoho】─She does it sometimes.

【Min Ji】─She must only do it when she’s in a good mood~

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! They must really be close friends!

【Maid】─Wow! Complimenting a friend makes you so happy!

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gyesekkihoon. But why did you let Big Girl spam like that? You f*cker?

“She’s usually quiet.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Quiet my ass. When you’re not looking, she spams stuff like ‘Sex! Hehe, oppa!’ F*ck.

【Handsome Licker】─LOL. Sneaky sex jokes. *Lick*.

【Big Girl】─Don’t slander me.

“Alright, I’m going to wash up now.”

After sincerely answering Big Girl’s question.

I headed to the shower to get ready for the appointment.

***

After finishing my shower, I left the motel.

First, I stopped by a clothing store to buy some clothes.

Since my clothes got a bit messy from running around the hotel.

【Maehwa Tree】─Buy something bright.

【Handsome Licker】─You’re going to match everything in black again, huh? *Lick*.

【Yoho】─Black clothes do suit the room master though.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gyesekkihoon. Try on the one next to it.

【Min Ji】─Why are you recommending the one with a rabbit flipping the bird? -_-

【Qkrnfl892】─Are you really going to buy that? The one on the right looks better.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Can’t you wear a sleeveless top?

【Maid】─Wow! Can’t you just take it off?

【Drifting AI】─I’ll speak. Buy the pink one in the corner.

I didn’t pay much attention to the viewers’ suggestions.

Just a quick glance at their recommendations made it clear their fashion sense was worse than mine.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─By the way, the staff here isn’t moving from the counter.

【Maehwa Tree】─It was written at the entrance. The staff won’t approach first so customers can shop comfortably.

【Qkrnfl892】─There are a lot of stores like that these days. Many people find it uncomfortable when staff follow them around.

【Min Ji】─It’s stressful when someone’s always hovering while you’re picking clothes~

【Reverse Rape Mania】─I should start shopping at stores like that too. I always get pressured into buying weird clothes. -_-

【Drifting AI】─I’ll speak. They do that because you look easy to push around.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─My mom gets pressured too.

【Drifting AI】─I’ll speak. The staff are trash.

The shopping didn’t take long.

I just needed one outfit to wear right away.

After paying for the black outfit at the counter.

I left the camera outside and was changing in the fitting room when.

‘Huh? A call.’

It was from Kwaehwal Namsu, who I had an appointment with today.

***

The call wasn’t about much.

Kwaehwal Namsu had reserved a high-end bar.

He said there were no civilians there right now, only broadcasters.

Meaning.

If I went there, a large group stream would naturally happen, whether I wanted it or not.

‘A large group stream…’

The broadcasters gathering was just a coincidence.

It definitely wasn’t planned.

Kwaehwal Namsu was also surprised when he arrived at the bar.

And the other broadcasters were surprised to see each other too.

‘Weird things really do happen.’

Kwaehwal Namsu said to let him know if I was uncomfortable.

He said we could cancel the reservation and move to another place.

He must’ve been considerate, thinking I might not like appearing on other broadcasts.

I appreciated the consideration.

But I told him it was fine to eat at that bar.

‘It’s a place that’s hard to reserve, so why not go?’

Even if you have money, it’s hard to get a reservation there, he said.
