I called the assistant, sent Eonni, and came back home.
Before entering the room, I reached into my pocket to light a cigarette and felt a warm, soft sensation.
“What the…”
Thinking I might have left a hand warmer in there, I pulled it out, only to find Baekseol sleeping in my pocket.
“No wonder it was so quiet.”
Feeling the chill after leaving the warm pocket, Baekseol quickly opened her eyes.
“Master.”
“Oh, you’re awake? We’re home, so go inside and sleep more.”
“Okay.”
As she answered, Baekseol settled on my head, warming the top of my scalp.
─Click, click.
“Phew─.”
Blowing out smoke and staring blankly at the sky, I realized I’ve been living too hectic lately.
“Don’t you think I’m too busy every day?”
Tap tap.
“No?”
“I need to get stronger.”
Baekseol tapped my head, and I wondered what she was saying, but her response was unexpectedly random.
“Don’t you think I’m already beyond normal?”
“Not enough.”
“….Really?”
Baekseol always says what she wants. Even when I ask back about something hard to understand, she doesn’t answer.
Lost in thought, I suddenly felt heat on my finger and hurriedly put out the cigarette.
“Baekseol, I’m going to do a quick broadcast, so go sleep on the bed first.”
“Okay.”
Despite her answer, Baekseol didn’t seem to want to come down from my head.
“Sleep comfortably on the bed.”
“Okay.”
“Good at answering.”
Lately, I’ve been drinking alcohol I usually don’t, and a wave of sleepiness hit me, but I thought I should at least greet the viewers before sleeping, so I sat at the computer desk.
<Lady Han Ga-eul has started broadcasting>
[Eulha]
[Baekseol hi]
[Hi hi]
[Wow, drinking and streaming, that’s a streamer for you]
Thanks to Baekseol, the silence in the room had mostly disappeared, but as viewers poured in, the atmosphere felt like it had completely changed.
“Hey, I’m here. Those who couldn’t come, post something where you live so they can come quickly.”
[O_k]
[Lol, just trust us]
[Lol, we’re dead, gathering everyone]
As soon as I finished speaking, the number of viewers skyrocketed.
They must have been spreading the word about the broadcast even before I mentioned it.
“My kids, come quickly.”
[Manager Han, nice to see you]
[Did you have a drink before starting the broadcast? Why so diligent?]
“I’ve always been diligent.”
[Huh?]
[Lololololol]
[Thinking about it, that’s true? Maybe I had a preconception because the manager isn’t just any crazy woman]
“Stop the nonsense, I’ve seen you guys, so I’m going to sleep now. Bye-bye.”
[?????? She is crazy]
[Manager Han, are you going to die?]
[You called us to gather!!!!]
As I always do, I ended with my usual closing remarks, and the chat started scrolling insanely fast.
“Kids. If I say come, you should come, why are you arguing, are you going to die?”
[Wow, didn’t know that lololol]
[Ah, just broadcast for an hour, I ordered chicken!!]
[Don’t go, I miss you]
Seeing no sign of the viewers calming down, I decided to pull out my last resort.
“My babies. If you keep whining, I’ll throw away your goods or whatever.”
[Teacher, sleep well^^]
[Manager, why aren’t you sleeping yet, go to sleep quickly]
[Maman, my toy…]
[Don’t throw it away!]
[LOL, look at them taming it!]
[Ding!]
[Wasabi Soybean Powder sponsored 10,000 won.]
[Before you go, apply for the partner program. The application conditions were met a while ago.]
“Partner?”
From what I vaguely know, a partner streamer is literally when TripleNet and the streamer form a partnership to simulcast, preventing the streamer from leaving the platform while giving them various benefits in return.
“Already at that point? What’s good about it?”
[Of course, Toto!]
[LOL, Toto!]
[Let’s dive into Toto!]
“The benefit is opening a gambling den? What kind of… partner streamer is this?”
The Toto the viewers are talking about is a virtual currency with no real cash value that’s given every time they attend my stream.
It’s literally just a play score that only me and my viewers can use, but the problem is that the viewers are obsessed with Triple Toto like gambling addicts.
[Manager Han!!!!! Hurry up and open the gambling den!!!]
[I’ve heard the vibes here are great!]
“Ah, you crazy people. I haven’t even applied yet.”
[Ah, it’s already gonna be fun LOL, hurry up and apply!]
[Hurry up, Room Master, I’m in a rush!]
“Ugh. What are these kids gonna grow up to be?”
[Ding!]
[Red Parade sponsored 1,000,000 won.]
[LOL, even when we grow up, we’ll still be Han Ga-eul’s viewers.]
[For real LOL.]
[The chairman finally said something right after so long.]
“Shut up, stop saying stuff that gets you hit. Where do I do this? Give me the link.”
I was fumbling around, not knowing how to apply for the partnership, so the viewers brought me the link.
“Is this it? How long does it take?”
[On average, a week, or up to 10 days if it’s slow.]
“Alright, I’m going to bed now. The reason I did a short stream is because I wanted to see you guys before sleeping. See you tomorrow morning, my babies. Bye-bye.”
[Bye-bye!]
[BB!]
[Why does this troublemaker make my heart flutter when she curses all the time but then says stuff like this LOL.]
[LOL, Room Master, sleep well.]
“Yeah, you guys have sweet dreams too.”
<Han Ga-eul has ended the stream.>
[Ding!]
[Red Parade sponsored 1,000 won.]
[Attention!]
[Damn, now even the chairman’s going crazy.]
[LOL, that guy’s “attention”… you wanna die?]
[LOL, why’s that chairman guy so skinny now that autumn’s here?]
[Ding!]
[Red Parade sponsored 1,000 won.]
[I’m so hyped for Toto, can’t wait a week. Fire support incoming!]
[That’s fair.]
[Already writing an inquiry post LOL.]
[Triple Korea guys are so screwed LOL.]
[Ready to throw a massive tantrum ^^7.]
[If they don’t listen, use this. I wrote it: opencloud/1498131]

“Ah, what’s going on?”
“Senior, the viewer board is getting spammed right now.”
“No, it’s the weekend duty, why are these calls coming in non-stop? Who’s Han Ga-eul?”
“The general customer service line is closed, so they’re calling the emergency line repeatedly.”
“Do I not know that? I’m telling you to find out. Did we get hit by a missile or something? Why are they calling the emergency line?”
“They’re viewers of streamer Han Ga-eul. They’re demanding we finish reviewing and finalize the partner streamer contract by tomorrow.”
“Ah, are they insane?”
“Senior, we’re getting server attacks.”
“What? A DDoS?”
“It’s not a virus on our server, but individual server attacks. They’re using some weird overload program, and it’s getting worse.”
“If the ground traffic bursts…”
“Ha…”
“Uh?”
I was suffocating, so I quickly removed the thing covering my face, and finally, cool air seeped into my body.
And the familiar softness I felt in my hand.
“Huff… Huff… Ugh. Hey, Baekseol.”
“Ow…ner, I’m hungry.”
“…”
I was so dumbfounded I couldn’t speak. Either wake up properly or talk. How can you say you’re hungry while still half-asleep?
“Alright… I’ll feed you. But why were you sleeping on my face?”
“I don’t know.”
I don’t know why the little one, who was sleeping peacefully in my palm, ended up on my face.
“Status Window.”
[Ding!]
I handed Baekseol a bellflower and proceeded with the usual morning routine.
—Click.
“Phew—. Please take care of me?”
While smoking a cigarette, I checked the flood of messages and noticed one from TripleNet.
“What’s this? Didn’t they say it’d take about a week?”
The message read, “Partnership agreement completed,” ending with “Please take care of me.”
And on top of that, it’s the weekend. How could it be this fast?
Realizing there was no point in overthinking, I stubbed out the cigarette and went back to my room, plopping down on the computer chair.
<Lady Han Ga-eul has started broadcasting>
[Lol, she’s unusually diligent for someone who doesn’t fit the vibeㅋㅋㅋ]
[Miss Han, so good to see you]
[Eul-ha Eul-ha]
“Yeah, welcome.”
[What’s with the locationㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Did you just wake up?]
I realized from the viewers’ chats that I hadn’t changed out of my pajamas yet.
“Ah, I forgot to change. I just woke up. I turned it on right after opening my eyes, did I do well?”
[Wow, our Bangjang’s beauty is unmatchedㅋㅋㅋ]
[You did great]
“The T-shirt is from the Salmusa kids. It’s loose, so I’ve been using it as pajamas.”
[Look at those pale shoulders, so pretty]
From the oversized shirt slipping off my shoulders to the chaotic morning chatter, the conversation was all over the place.
Ding! Red Parade has subscribed for the first time.
[Oh, what’s this? It’s already happeningㅋㅋㅋ]
“What, I guess the partnership triggered the subscription.”
[Damn, I lost the first sub. Gotta go recharge fast]
[The chairman’s kid is so quickㅋㅋ]
Ding! Absentee Cover has subscribed for the first time.
Ding! Ariel Land has subscribed for the first time.
Ding! Big Heart Han Ga-eul has subscribed for the first time.
…
…
…
Starting with the chairman’s first sub, the subscription messages started pouring in like crazy.
Ding! Noble Han Ga-eul has subscribed for the first time.
“Who’s Noble Han Ga-eul? Damn, it’s supposed to be True Milk. No, not that, guys, wait a sec.”
Ding! Louis Louis has subscribed for the first time.
…
…
…
They didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
“Guys.”
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!······
“So, let’s talk…”
Ding! Ding!·····
“Listen up, you jerks.”
Ding! Ding!·····
“Damn it, Ding!”
[Lolololol so funny, but I can’t miss the founding subscriber spot]
[Ahㅋㅋㅋ I absolutely can’t miss it]
I sank into the chair, staring blankly at the screen, and when I checked the piled-up subscription messages, I saw a mountain of pending messages growing.
Pending 227
Pending 514
…
…
Pending 1273
…
…
“This one message…”
“How many seconds is it?”
Ding! Ding!
[Regular donations vary in length, but this one seems to be about 5 seconds?]
“It looks like we’re about to hit 1,500 soon. Do I have to keep watching this for days?”
Ding!
[LOLOLOLOLOLOL this is hilarious]
[The loyalty of these demon kids is no joke ㄷㄷ]
[Even if you roughly estimate 5 seconds, it’s over 5 days? Yikes.]
[They don’t need to extend it because there are so many people subscribing. The room master should’ve applied for partnership sooner.]
I can’t just throw away the messages from the kids who are subscribing because they like me. Meanwhile, the message box was getting even more crowded.
“Guys, it’ll probably take about 8 days to read through these, but the problem is, it’s still growing.”
[Just turn it off and play Toto. The messages are so damn noisy.]
[For real LOL I’m gonna get a neurosis.]
[It’s my first subscription, so I can’t even send a message. Let’s just turn it all off, it doesn’t matter.]
[LMAO turn it off and play Toto, Han Boss!]
Seeing the viewers’ approval, I turned off the subscription messages in the options.
“Now it’s quiet. Do you guys have points?”
[Yeah LOL we’ve been saving them up because the room master isn’t a partner, so we couldn’t use them.]
[We’ve got a ton. Let’s go!]
“Then let’s start with something simple…”
After thinking for a bit, I opened my mouth.
“Should we play a ladder game?”
[Are you crazy? LOLOLOL]
[The room master is really trying to open a gambling den.]
“You can buy stuff with points, like subscriptions. Our room’s prize is a wish ticket. Only one, though.”
[Let’s go!!]
“The first person to collect enough points for the prize gets it.”
[LMAO LET’S GO!!!!!!!]
“One prize might be boring, so how about a second prize? A mouth banner? You guys wanted it, right?”
[Please, just start already!!]
[Please hurry up, pleasepleaseplease]
Thanks to the viewers going wild, I quickly searched for and opened a ladder game.
“We’re only doing one round of this. Next time, it’ll be a different game.”
[Got it, ready.]
[LOL I’ll show you what a Beast’s Heart is.]
I quickly filled the ladder with wins and losses and set up the channel point game.
“Alright, let’s go!”
[Let’s go!!!! I trust you, Han Boss!]
“Oh, right. Wait a second.”
[LMAO LOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[I went all in and my heart was pounding like crazy LOLOLOL]
Just as I was about to start, a sudden thought came to mind, and I shared it with the viewers.
“How about a third prize? Something like a keyring with my autograph or my photo? Too much?”
[That’s freaking awesome!]
[Wow, the prizes are insane LOL I’m going all in with my life on the line.]
“Was that too much? I’m embarrassed just saying it.”
[No no no no, it’s freaking awesome!]
[So good, let’s do it right now.]
[LMAO Han Boss, start it already!]
