Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 20

– Suddenly, Zero Two hahahaha

– Female streamers have their own rules, for sure haha

– Please don’t do the 의첸 (a dance term)

A chat room filled with cheers.

In contrast, my expression stiffened in real-time.

“Zero Two…?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

With a glimmer of hope that it might be a different kind of dance than the one I know, I asked again.

“Are you talking about the one where you raise both arms and shake your body?”

“You know it exactly.”

However, the answer brutally shattered my expectations.

– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

[While I do ballet, Miju is doing Zero Two haha]

At that moment, a donation came in that represented my feelings.

The image of her still dancing ballet lingered in my mind…

But I pushed such thoughts deep down in my heart. Even though being a senior in the broadcasting industry was a strong enough title, Mari with the added title of Chairman was just too massive a wall to break through.

“Is there perhaps another dance?”

Despite this, a slight resistance seeped out. It was the last desperate gasp of the little bit of shame that remained.

– 발젖문가 has donated 1,000 won.

[Honestly, Zero Two is a bit overplayed]

This support came in, backing me up.

“Do the viewers think so too?”

With a brightened face, I asked for the viewers’ opinions. Joining forces with the audience, who had always been hostile, felt like I had gained the confidence of a thousand soldiers.

– It’s a bit of an old one.

– What do people dance these days? Cocaine?

– Kick drum bass is pretty good too

– The most recent one is 모또모또 ㅇㅇ

This led to a flurry of other dances being mentioned by the viewers. Frankly, anything but Zero Two sounded fine to me. Leaning on the viewers’ opinions, I suggested to Mari.

“Nowadays, Zero Two is said to be outdated! Shall we try another dance?”

“I don’t mind, but… I’m worried about whether Miju will be okay with it.”

“It’s fine! I’ve got good reflexes!”

Though she looked delicate on the outside, her body was dense with muscle. This body was the source of the confidence that allowed me to boldly proclaim for another dance.

“That’s not what I meant…”

Yet Mari seemed to still worry about it. Just as I debated whether to show my athletic presence, a video donation came in.

– 여캠중독자 has donated 5,000 won.

{Video of a woman clutching her neck and swaying}

[This is cocaine ㅇㅇ]

“Uh…?”

The video begins with a song repeatedly calling out cocaine. A woman dances, clutching her neck with one hand, swaying as if in a drugged state. Meanwhile, her other hand was incessantly touching her chest and hips.

“Wait… Is this really a dance?”

– No, no, it gets worse.

– She was sweeping her body with her hands

– These days are amazing…

I was stunned by an identity I had never imagined. My knowledge of Zero Two being the most vulgar dance was shattered.

– Cocaine

Even amid the chaos, the woman continued to sway. My mind began to drift too.

“Swaying… swaying…”

– This guy is malfunctioning, isn’t he?

– It’s been used for a long time~

– Kuwen kuwene kuwene

Before I could recover from the shock of the cocaine video, another video donation came in.

– 여캠중독자 has donated 5,000 won.

{Video of a woman shaking her chest while dancing}

[This is kick drum bass]

This video was shockingly provocative from the start. A woman in revealing clothing, showing her cleavage, was pushing her chest out as if doing bench presses. The video played along with the music.

In time with the kick, she shook her chest, and as the drums hit, her hands moved, and soon she began to shake her whole body as the song progressed.

– Wow, this is crazy.

– Something… something is swaying…

– This is my favorite ㅇㅇ

– Is Miju TV’s level real?

– Is she wearing an armband?

“Stop!!!”

In a daze, I found myself staring blankly. If I kept watching, I was afraid the broadcast would be stopped. I rushed to end the video and spoke.

“Guys…”

– Ah, I was enjoying it, why did you stop?

– Why did you call for us?

– So today, you’re going to dance these, right? (suggestively)

Though there were dances I hadn’t seen yet, considering the viewers’ reactions, it was highly likely those would be just as abnormal.

“Let’s just do Zero Two, shall we?”

It became clear that hell has its own ranks.

A 2D character dancing lightly. The horns on its head reminded me of Mari’s character.

“What do you think is the most important point in Zero Two?”

At that moment, a question cut through my musings.

“… The waist?”

I replied while watching the swaying skirt.

– Mamataang?

– Oh, the slide for the baby!

– Armpits

– For the armpits;;;

The responses from the viewers followed. I started to feel a headache from the chat room filled with s*xual harassment comments that had become common.

“Of course, the waist is important in all dances. However, here the most important points are the chest and the hips.”

A bold statement that didn’t lose to the viewers. I could see the culprit behind the corroded chat.

“If you look now, whenever the chest moves, the hips always go in the opposite direction.”

Mari paused the dancing character one by one to help understanding. “Through this, emphasizing both the chest and the hips at the same time is the essence of Zero Two.”

– Wow

– Zero Two doctor;;

– Oh no, it’s not a doctor, it’s a professor.

– I haven’t seen anyone analyze like this before haha

I empathized with the chat. I never imagined there would be such a profound theory behind what I thought was just shaking a body.

As Mari finished explaining and stood up.

“Now, I will demonstrate.”

With that, the familiar song began to play.

“To the rhythm of the song, bend your knees slightly and bounce back up.”

Then she started bouncing her body to the beat of Zero Two. My attention was captivated by the shaking chest and hips as described. The graceful ballerina from earlier had vanished, leaving only the lascivious dancer on stage.

– Wow sh*t… this is insane

– The chat room got quiet… where did everyone go?

– Don’t talk to me, I’m busy

The swaying chest. Armpits visible between short sleeves. Droplets of sweat. None of it was dignified, yet when everything came together, there was an overwhelming sense of sublime beauty.

As Mari returned to her seat after the final bounce, the applause once again expressed my emotions.

“Wow… you’re truly beautiful!”

– Armpit has donated 10,000 won.

[What can be seen peeking through the clothes is really exquisite.]

– Mari Love has donated 10,000 won.

[Teardrops fell from above and below. Sensei…]

…

Once again, donations began pouring in. I too could empathize with the viewers’ donations.

“This time, Miju will dance.”

A voice directing me. But having just seen the stage, I no longer found Zero Two shameful. Instead, a passion to prove myself through the current stage surged.

The sound of music came again. Closing my eyes, I envisioned Mari’s figure. As I bent my knees and twisted my body, I felt the resilient muscles holding my whole body together. Twisting my body side to side twenty times. Sweat flowed more than I expected, and feeling it trickle between my chest, I twisted my body again.

As the song concluded, a pleasant sense of release enveloped me. Satisfied with my dancing, I slowly opened my eyes.

– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

[sh*t haha even a scarecrow would be smoother than you.]

At that moment, a mocking sound echoed in. And the sound of Mari’s laughter followed.

– Is this the same dance?

– So, you did PT gymnastics?

– 기열찬 Marine! La la la cha cha cha!

– Professor, you discovered a historic dilemma haha

Looking at the chat room, I found it filled with ridicule unlike when Mari was present.

“Was I not good?”

– Yes, it was really bad.

– I might dance better than you haha

– Strange… my chest is shaking but why don’t I feel it?

Despite my best efforts, I slumped under the viewers’ cold reactions.

“Why is this happening, Teacher…?”

Mari burst into laughter again at my tone.

“Pfft, oh, I can’t figure out the exact cause because your clothes are too big.”

“Am I destined to live my life as an awkward person…”

As my confidence in my athletic ability crumbled, my self-esteem rapidly deflated.

“Then let’s try this.”

Mari approached as if to comfort me and suddenly began to touch my clothes.

“I think this might help identify the cause.”

In the places where Mari’s hand passed, the tied T-shirt was left behind. The emphasized waistline contrasted beautifully with my chest and hips, accentuating my figure further.

– Wow d*mn;; is her body insane?

– Who cares if she can’t dance! Let’s go with this!

– I didn’t know there was a body like that behind that boxy T-shirt ㄷㄷ

– You’re pure s*x itself;;

Seeing the viewers’ reactions, my face flushed. It felt as if I were stripped bare in front of the public.

“Now let’s dance one more time.”

The music sounded again. But my body, already full of shame, refused to move.

– 발젖문가 has donated 500,000 won.

[It wasn’t just about the chest… I’m enlightened today.]

At that moment, a donation of 500,000 won came in.

‘If it’s 50,000… we could have another date like this…!’

The thought of enjoying a meal with everyone again was enough lubricant to get my stiff body moving.

“Thank you! I will show you Zero Two as a reaction!”

I forced my creaking body to move. Fueled by the remaining embarrassment, my movements were merely swaying, unlike the powerful energy from before. Slowly shaking my flushed body side to side. As I continued to sway, my belly button peeked out from the pulled cloth.

“Ah!”

The wind brushing against my belly button involuntarily let out a m*an from me. At that moment, I stopped dancing and looked at the chat room.

– Wow, sh*t, I’m seriously getting excited…

– I’ve gone three times now…

– This is more intense than a p*rn broadcast…

– Please, did someone record this? I’ll pay 100,000 won for it.

Unlike before, incredibly favorable reactions were in sight.

– ㅇㅇ has donated 100,000 won.

– Duntang has donated 50,000 won…

Along with that, the flow of meaningless donations continued.

“Was this one a bit better?”

– Yeah, yeah, yeah

– If I dance again, I feel like I’ll collapse

– I’m so envious of Mari, watching from the side lol

– So freaking good

The obedient reactions of the viewers made me feel my previously low self-esteem rising.

“Hehe! If it were to fall for me, this much is nothing!”

Even the viewers who would normally refute immediately expressed agreement with my words.

– Honestly, I agree.

– Ah… it hurts too much from dancing…

– Huh? But is the broadcast only cutting out for me?

“The broadcast is cutting out? What’s going on?”

As I worried if the computer I changed a few days ago had broken, the chat room, filled with the screams of the viewers, caught my eye.

– 비사아앙아 the armband has appeared!!!

– Kyaaah!!!

“Uh? What’s happening suddenly, everyone?”

The chat that suddenly came to a halt. And over the frozen chat room, bold letters appeared.

– Warning) The broadcast has been suspended for explicit content.
