The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Chapter 12: I dont have a hyung like you. (5)

.It seemed like it might be worth putting my conscience aside for a moment.

The sudden drinking party with Dongsoo hyung ended without a hitch.

I downed a series of shots, but persevered in my efforts to not get wasted.

I didnt know what I would say if I was completely drunk.

If I had confessed that I was Sia while under the influence, Id probably be on a train bound for the afterlife by now.

I sent the drunk Doksoo hyung home, then returned home with Jinhukie and slept.

I had a dream, and even that was terrible.

In the dream, streamers that I used to be close with ganged together to beat me up.

Hooo.

I didnt even want to think about it.

Anyway, thats how my first morning as a member of the reserve forces began.

Because he was a lightweight, Jinhyukie was still fast asleep in bed.

It was exactly 6 oclock.

I was still operating on the biological rhythm of a soldier, so I had woken up on my own.

I stretched lightly and opened a hangover drink I had bought in advance the night before.

After that, I sat on the sofa and picked up the new model of smartphone Jinhyukie had gotten for me to celebrate my discharge.

[Come on my show when you have time. Like Jinhyukie said, just give it a try. Or Ill pay you a separate fee so you can pretend youre working part-time. Ill also settle the gifts for you separately Han Dongsoo]

Dongsoo hyungs message popped up on my smartphone.

Id always felt that he was a very kind person.

He would take care of others to the point of being taken advantage of, so his viewers always treated him like a pushover.

Even this part of him was no different from before.

Hmm.

Seeing him acting like this, he must have been pretty pleased with meeting me for the first time yesterday.

This hyung hadnt changed.

However, all humans have a conscience. I betrayed him for my own personal agenda, how could I even dare to look him in the eye?

[Ah, lets make your appearance fee around 100. Call me if you have any thoughts. Hyung is playing a new game tomorrow, and I need a guest that can play well. Good night. It was nice to meet you, thanks for taking care of me, Chansik. Lets keep in touch often going forward. Han Dongsoo]

Even though being kind is a good thing, if its to this extent then people will only call you foolish.

By the way, when he said 100, he didnt mean 100 won, did he?

.It seemed like it might be worth putting my conscience aside for a moment.

Come to think of it, I had heard that there were very few part-time positions available these days. Finding a job might take some time, even if I started looking right away.

Hmmmm.

Should I just stop agonising over it and go on a broadcast one more time?

Dongsoo hyungs streams exploded under a shower of gifts from viewers every day. A guaranteed piece of that was an exceptionally shocking offer.

I had heard that Dongsoo hyung would make offers like this to new streamers from time to time.

He was Twipods eldest hyung; was all of this in the name of discovering a new streamer?

Since he knew me through Jinhyukie, his text message wouldnt be a lie.

I buried myself into the sofa for a moment as I mulled over it.

Considering it carefully, I couldnt ask for a better opportunity.

Screenshots from my appearance on <Excalibur> yesterday were still getting a fair amount of attention on Twipod.

The number of people that didnt know me was still greater than the amount who did. However, if I played the Zalman character on Dongsoo hyungs broadcast, I would get a lot of recognition.

There was no way I could lose out.

So long as, of course, I could hide the fact that I was Gaia Onlines Sia.

Hooo.

After much deliberation, I finally made up my mind.

Yeah, lets do it just one more time.

There was no reason to say no when I would be given 1 million won just for turning up.

Once I reached my decision, I called Dongsoo hyung right away.

Doooooo.

• ..Hello.

Dongsoo hyung, its Chansik.

• Ah Chansik-ah, sorry.

Sorry?

• Hyung just laid down after getting off air?

Ah, thats right. He was usually a late-night streamer, wasnt he?

Even though Dongsoo hyung had gone out to drink with us yesterday, he still went home and started streaming.

It seemed that he had only just finished.

A broadcast after drinking.

He was a streamer to his bones.

• Come to hyungs house by 6 p.m. later today. You can ask Jinhyuk where it is. I already let my viewers know, so you can just take it easy.

I didnt even say that I would do it, but youve told the viewers already?

It was definitely an offer that was difficult to refuse. Dongoo hyung must have been certain that I would accept.

Dongsoo hyung gave me some simple instructions on how to prepare, then said in a weak voice,

• Its 6 a.m., so a phone call at this time is crossing the line a bit, Chansik-ah.

Ah, Im sorry.

• Im kidding. You were a soldier up until yesterday, so Ill let it go. See you later.

Thats right, it was 6am, wasnt it?

Dongsoo hyung hung up after saying that.

Um.

I was a soldier, so hed let it go. By any chance, would he be willing to let the past go?

Yeah, right.

In Korea, as in many other countries with mandatory enlistment, men are automatically placed into the reserve forces upon completing their service. For the first four years, they are part of the Mobilization Reserves. Then, over the subsequent four years, they are part of the Homeland Reserves. In the case of a national emergency/war, they would be called upon to serve. Mobilization reservists would be deployed into active warzones while Homeland reservists would act as a civil defense force within the country.

Zalman is a South Korean company that does stuff with cooling and fans for CPUs. So KCS is probably planning on showing up to act as a fanboy right.

~$825k USD. You might be wondering why KCS says 1 million won when HDS mentioned 100 in his text. In KR, the base unit for many moneys is 10,000, (pronounced man)rather than 1,000. So, 1 million is 100 man, or 100 ten thousands.
