Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 46

Fortunately, it has been an hour since I came out of the detention center and spoke with the police, and our conversation has been going in circles.

“I’ll explain again. Neighbors reported hearing screams last night. When we opened the door to find the source of the noise, we found Miyoo Kim unilaterally assaulting Seongmin Su.”

“I don’t remember.”

“No… How can you say you don’t remember after greeting us so warmly yesterday?”

“But I really don’t remember.”

“Miyoo Kim! It seems like you’re trying to claim diminished capacity, but the bl**d alcohol test has already been completed! You have no issues with your mental state!”

The police were engrossed in extracting my confession, sometimes yelling, sometimes gently leading me.

“I really don’t remember.”

Despite his efforts, my answer remained unchanged.

“No… Ha…”

The police officer struck his chest in frustration at my response. I could fully understand his feelings, but I was also in a situation where I wanted to cry.

“Alright… then let’s go over what happened yesterday step by step.”

Following the police officer’s words, I tried to recall the past.

At exactly 7 PM, I had arrived at Seongmin Su’s house.

“The appointment was for 6 PM according to the text, why did you come at 7?”

“Son of a b*tch… I will deliver judgment on justice.”

My right hand was for the victims of fraud, my left hand was for my heart hurt by doubt.

“I’ll hit you just once with my left hand.”

I had been warming up my body since before coming for this one hit.

“I just dozed off for a moment. When I opened my eyes, I realized I had missed the appointment time, so I hurried to leave.”

“And so you met at 7…”

– Ding dong

It wasn’t long after ringing the doorbell that the door opened. A man with a bear-like physique appeared.

“W-Who are you?”

“Hello. Is this Seongmin Su? I’m Miju, a Twitch streamer.”

Finally, I met the fraudster in person. I forced a smile, trying to lift my drooping corners of my mouth.

“Then what did you do when you met?”

Perhaps about 20 minutes had passed since we met.

“So the wealth I earned as a YouTuber is in the hundreds of millions, and right now I have people following me…!”

“Oh… I see…”

I was getting increasingly tired of his repetitive self-praise.

‘So many words.’

For some reason, the conversation about the competition had disappeared, and he was only talking about his wealth. All I could do was make sure that my true feelings and my answers didn’t change.

“And I’m also running a big business…!”

“Seongmin Su was bragging about various things, and I was just listening.”

“What happened afterwards?”

The questions kept coming. However, my answer to these was the same as before.

“I don’t remember.”

It felt as if my memory had been cut away like a kn*fe after the fraudster’s bragging had ended.

“You’re not a drunk person… If you keep saying you don’t remember…”

The police officer reacted as if he was dumbfounded by my words. Hearing him muttering to himself, a memory from yesterday suddenly came to mind.

“Ah!! Before the conversation, I had orange juice!”

“And so?”

“What if there was something in it?”

I thought it was a valid deduction regarding my memory loss, but the police’s reaction was cold.

“No, if it had something in it, you would have fallen asleep. Why do you make the other person the druggie after breaking the limbs of that well-built man?”

His words directly countered my inference, and I found myself secretly agreeing.

‘But the moment I admit it, I’m just a perpetrator of violence…’

At such a young age, I didn’t want a red line on my record, so I raised another possibility.

“Isn’t there a drug that makes you stronger…? Something that boosts strength…”

“If such a drug exists, the person would take it themselves; they wouldn’t give it to someone else. Such an effect would be from drugs… or…”

The police officer’s face hardened as if he realized something mid-sentence. Soon, he began issuing orders to the officers around him with a pale complexion.

“Beomseok, go check Seongmin Su’s house for any suspicious items. And take Miju Kim to conduct a drug test.”

After various tests and returning to my seat, the police station was in chaos.

“A large quantity of drugs has been discovered!”

“It’s quicker to find types other than marijuana, meth, and heroin!”

“It doesn’t seem like something we can handle alone!”

From the overall atmosphere, it seemed that a large quantity of drugs had been discovered at that b*stard’s house.

‘Could it be…? Did he really drug me?’

Given the current situation, it seemed certain that the drink I had was laced with drugs.

‘Assault followed by drugging?’

My prison life was getting ever closer. The thought of being punished for a crime I couldn’t even remember due to a joyless responsibility made my surroundings seem dark.

“Ah, Miju, you’re here?”

In the midst of confusion, as I was at the police station, a man who was previously conducting the investigation saw me and spoke.

“Yes.”

“Uh… You’ve probably sensed it, but it seems you’ve taken drugs.”

“So, am I going to prison…?”

Even as I asked the question, my voice became moist with the anticipation of the bleak future.

“Oh, no. Involuntary consumption due to someone else’s actions is exempt from punishment.

Fortunately, the response I received was very positive.

“The problem would be the violence you committed, but that ultimately stems from Seongmin Su drugging you, so it probably won’t be a big issue for you.”

I kept receiving positive news.

“Really?!”

With the knowledge that my unjust accusation was lifted, a smile bloomed across my face as I expressed my joy.

“U-Um… that should be the case. The test results will take about a week, so I will contact you around that time. Thank you for your hard work.”

Watching the police officer leave after those words, I also stood up from my seat.

“The article has already come out!”

“Some b*stard leaked it to the journalist right away!!”

Escaping the chaos of the police station, I headed towards my home.

An hour after returning home,

“Ha… I don’t want to work…”

I was rolling around on my bed.

“I really think I should take a break today.”

After going through such a tumultuous day, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to take a day off. My head throbbing all day welcomed my thoughts.

“Still, I guess I have to broadcast…”

Even during such a tough time, turning on the broadcast was the life of a streamer. I lifted the heavy blanket and got out of bed.

“I should have smashed their heads all early on.”

With the viewer base not fully stabilized yet, taking a break in such a situation could have led to a loss of viewers. Reflecting on not having smashed their heads properly in the past, I turned on the broadcast.

“Hello! I’m your streamer, Miju!”

As soon as I started the broadcast, viewers rushed in instantly. I suppressed my headache and greeted them with a bright voice.

– Falling down

– Explanation, explanation, explanation

– (F*ck, what’s happening?)(What’s going on?)

Seeing this, the viewers seemed to know my hardship and warmly welcomed me.

“Everyone… I just started the broadcast, what’s there to complain about?”

Cold sweat trickled down below my chest. I recalled the hypothesis of the already angry viewers.

– You acted all high and mighty yesterday, and now look at you!

– Wow~ you’re really in for it!

– I knew you’d get f*cked up, lol.

– Ooh, you’ve received a donation of 1,000 won from ㅇㅇ.

[Are you asking because you don’t know? Don’t you remember what you did yesterday?]

– Duntang donated 1,000 won.

[I thought you were entering the stock competition, lol.]

The donations from the viewers started pouring in right from the start. I realized that the part specifically mentioning the stock competition confirmed that my earlier hypothesis was true.

‘How did they find out?’

For just a moment, I was puzzled, but before the viewers could lead the atmosphere, I made the first move.

“No! This was self-defense!”

History always belongs to the victor. I took full advantage of the fact that the opponent couldn’t refute me and asserted my innocence.

“It was wrong to drug me in the first place! I merely used my fists lightly, just a little bit, to protect myself!”

I had heard that I had received 12 weeks of medical treatment, but this was due to the other person’s frail constitution.

– ????????????

– What the f*ck am I hearing right now?

– Drugs?????

– Is this for real?????

– Ooh, you’ve received a donation of 10,000 won from ㅇㅇ.

[No… what the f*ck is this???]

However, instead of agreeing with my words, the viewers expressed their confusion. I sensed that something was wrong.

“Guys, didn’t I mention I went to the police station…?”

– Does the police station mean something? ㄷㄷㄷ

– No, I’m going crazy over the drugs and the police.

– What did you do in a single day;;;

– Are you okay?

– Ooh, you’ve received a donation of 10,000 won from ㅇㅇ.

[I was just saying that as a top comment.]

“Ah… Huh…? Why did it go up…?”

– Because the boycott is ineffective.

– We just wanted to do WWE…

– I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy.

– Oh no, are you okay?

Unlike the usual chatroom filled with ridicule, it was now filled with worry and shock.

“Haha…”

I suddenly realized that I had dug my own grave. The only option left for me in this situation was one.

“Then, today’s broadcast will end here!”

– ?????

– Where do you think you’re going, crazy girl?

– Hang in thereㅠㅠ

Five minutes into the broadcast, I chose to run away.
