Chapter 89

Real Name Park Jin-ha.

Broadcast Name Pujim Bbangdaeng.

He is a broadcaster active on adult platforms, with nudity broadcasts as his main content.

And.

He was also a high school alumnus of Gye Se-hoon.

‘Why is Gye Se-hoon here…?’

Park Jin-ha also knew that Gye Se-hoon had started broadcasting.

There was a time when the communities were buzzing about a handsome new male cameraman appearing.

But he didn’t pay much attention.

Even though that person had left a trauma on him, he thought they would never cross paths again in life.

‘F*ck… No way we’d meet in a place like this…’

Park Jin-ha instinctively shrank back.

During school days.

He still couldn’t forget the merciless eyes of Gye Se-hoon, who had beaten him ruthlessly.

The hollow, emotionless eyes peeking through his hair.

Those chilling eyes still haunted him as a trauma.

‘I’m going crazy. Why did he have to call my name…?’

He couldn’t pretend not to know now.

Since Gye Se-hoon had already called his name.

Assuming Gye Se-hoon had recognized him, Park Jin-ha decided to act casual and greet him.

To avoid ruffling any feathers.

With the most submissive expression he could muster.

***

Park Jin-ha awkwardly waved and greeted.

“Se, Se-hoon, right? Haha, what a coincidence meeting here…! It’s been a long time…!”

Why is he acting like this?

Were we ever close enough to exchange greetings?

No matter how he thought about it, they weren’t that close.

It was a relationship where not throwing punches upon meeting was considered lucky.

【Maehwa Tree】—Is Se-hoon your friend?

【Handsome Licker】—Seems like it? Ptooey.

【Jujijoa】—Don’t spit. Crazy b*tch.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Ah. Were you friends? Lol…

【Qkrnfl892】—Guburi. Lol. Just now, you were cursing that big-headed guy, but as soon as you found out he’s Se-hoon’s friend, you got all quiet.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—When did I do that? F*ck.

【Drifting AI】—I’ll say it. That human is unrecyclable trash.

【Yoho】—Gasp.

【Min Ji】—Even if he’s the room master’s friend, you’re not holding back, huh?

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Se-hoon’s friend gets no mercy.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! Drifting’s going all out!

【Maid】—Wow! No holding back!

【Big Girl】—Hmm.

Because Park Jin-ha greeted him, the viewers misunderstood that he was his friend.

He’s more of an enemy than a friend.

He thought about explaining but gave up because it was too bothersome.

“Yeah. It’s been a while.”

And he accepted the greeting.

Since he acted familiar first, ignoring him would’ve been awkward.

Well, the past is the past, so he decided not to dwell on it.

He didn’t hold any grudges against Park Jin-ha.

And Park Jin-ha seemed to have let go of what happened back then.

“So, how have you been since graduation?”

“So-so.”

After answering Park Jin-ha’s question.

No further conversation followed.

Then.

Amid the awkward atmosphere.

“Well, I’ll head back to my table…! Have fun, Se-hoon…!”

Park Jin-ha left first, still looking scared.

Just as I was about to move on.

Kwaehwal Namsu, who had been watching the whole situation, asked.

“Se-hoon. Did you know that guy?”

“He’s a high school alumnus.”

“Ah. An alumnus. I was wondering why you knew someone who does nudity broadcasts.”

“Nudity broadcasts?”

“What? You didn’t know? Guess you’re not that close.”

“We’re not friends, just alumni. But he does nudity broadcasts?”

“Yeah. Pujim Bbangdaeng, his broadcasts are pretty extreme, so he’s somewhat known in the nudity broadcast scene. Oh, of course, I have no personal connection with him.”

I learned something I didn’t want to know.

And imagining Park Jin-ha naked made me nauseous.

‘Pujim Bbangdaeng, f*cking hell.’

I quickly erased him from my mind.

It felt like my brain was getting polluted.

***

【Reverse Rape Mania】—There are so many guys here. The girls here are lucky.

【Yoho】—It’s not because there are many guys, but because the room master is here that they’re lucky.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—True that.

I occasionally checked the chat window as I arrived at the reserved seat.

But.

The location of the reserved seat was the worst, making me sigh.

The reason was none other than Park Jin-ha sitting at the next table.

‘…The seats are full, so I can’t move.’

I sat with my back to Park Jin-ha.

Seeing his face would naturally bring up images of his nudity broadcasts.

To forget that Park Jin-ha was behind me, I kept up meaningless small talk with Kwaehwal Namsu.

“By the way, why didn’t Hyun-ji come with you?”

“Ah. She had too much to do, so I didn’t bring her.”

“Too much to do? She doesn’t do anything but play around.”

“Usually, yeah, but lately, she’s been busy with a lawsuit.”

“Huh? What lawsuit?”

“You know how bad the hate comments have been lately. I tried to let it slide, but the more I ignored it, the more people crossed the line.”

“…That must be tough.”

Kwaehwal Namsu set up his camera while talking to me.

He seemed about to start recording.

Originally, I hadn’t planned to record.

But you can’t pass up the rare sight of broadcasters gathering at a bar.

Truly a pro broadcaster.

“Hyun-su, aren’t you doing a live broadcast?”

“No. I did a long live earlier, so I’m tired. I’m just recording a video for YouTube now.”

After answering, Kwaehwal Namsu looked at my camera and made a surprised face.

“…Oh, right! Look at me! I haven’t greeted your viewers yet!”

Kwaehwal Namsu, scratching his head awkwardly.

True to his broadcast name, he flashed a cheerful smile and waved at the camera.

“Hello! I’m Kwaehwal Namsu! Sorry for the late greeting! Haha!”

【Handsome Licker】—Hey.

【Yoho】—Greeting so fast.

【Maehwa Tree】—Move your face.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Your greeting’s way too late, you f*cker. Bow your head and apologize properly.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! Apology first, right?

【Maid】—Wow! No manners!

【Drifting AI】—I’ll say it. Nice to meet you.

【Qkrnfl892】—Drifting, why are you greeting Kwaehwal Namsu so properly? Lol.

I decided not to show the chat window.

If the toxic viewers’ chats were seen, Kwaehwal Namsu might get upset.

“Se-hoon. Can I see the chat window too?”

“No.”

I absolutely won’t show it.

【Yoho】—?? Why are you hiding us?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Gye Sekkihoon. Are you ashamed of us?

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! Are we embarrassing?

【Maid】—Wow! Tsk tsk!

【Jujijoa】—Even I’d be embarrassed.

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Lol for real.

【Handsome Licker】—The two above should be ashamed of their nicknames first. Lick.

【★Hoon World】—Guys. Are you trying to ruin my relationships? Don’t cross the line, seriously.

I left a short warning in the chat.

If the broadcast continues.

Kwaehwal Namsu might accidentally see my phone.

I need to warn them in advance to behave.

【Maid】—Wow! Did your relationships not already fall apart? Why act concerned now? Lol.

【Min Ji】—Hmm. That doesn’t seem like a chat from Maid.

【Drifting AI】—I’ll say it. Balloon Gum Collector sent that chat.

【Big Girl】—Looks like you’re still together.

【Jujijoa】—Yeah. Balloon Gum slept at Se-hoon’s place yesterday.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Sexy spanking~

【Maid】—Wow! Sexy spank!

【Handsome Licker】—Lick!

【Reverse Rape Mania】—Hah!

“……”

I think it’s better to seal them for a while.

They’re crazy b*tches who shouldn’t be out in the world.

Except for Drifting.

Just as I was about to restrict the other viewers’ chats.

“Sniff, sob…”

Suddenly, a sniffling sound came from behind.

It was a forced, dramatic crying sound, like a tragic male lead.

‘What’s this?’

I reflexively turned around.

The one crying was none other than Park Jin-ha.

Just as I was wondering why he was suddenly acting like this.

<The bully should apologize right now!>

A voice donation came from Park Jin-ha’s table.

Then, Park Jin-ha, swallowing his snot, timidly tried to dissuade the viewers.

“Guys, stop… I’m really scared.”

<You can’t just let this slide.>

<The bully should apologize!>

<The guy in black behind you. Apologize now!>

<Oh, what? He’s really handsome. Maybe he doesn’t need to apologize?>

<Stop talking nonsense.>

<The bully should kneel and apologize!>

The voice donations kept pouring in.

It seemed.

Park Jin-ha had been talking to his viewers and brought up his past experiences.
