Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 58

– This can be considered a skill, indeed. hahahaha

– I’ll prove it with my ability <<< Actual words
- Why? You proved it properly hahahaha
- That's right hahahaha This is skill hahahaha

In the bustling chat room, viewers finally appeared who acknowledged my words.

"..."

However, I felt no joy at all about this.
No, rather than joy, an endless rage was burning deep inside my heart.

- Is the microphone broken? I can't hear anything~
- It's not the microphone that's broken but the person, hahahaha
- Don’t tell me... you're not angry, right?
- Hey~ What do you think of our main host!

The viewers relentlessly scratched at my silence.

"..."

Yet, despite their efforts, I maintained my silence, repeating just one action.
I kept clicking on my balance statement.

-----
Estimated profit and loss: -2,000,000 won
Estimated total: 1,000,000 won
-----

But no matter how many times I refreshed my balance, the numbers didn't change.
In fact, they were changing slightly.

-----
Estimated profit and loss: -2,100,000 won
Estimated total: 900,000 won
-----

However, this change was not positive for me at all.

"Oh, no... Does this make sense?"

Finally, I stammered out the broken seven-digit number.

"Inflation continues. All gains have been evaporated. The resistance level has been broken!!!"

The more I listed out, the more perfect this theory seemed.
But my account's results flowing in the exact opposite direction caused my repressed fury to explode.

"But why the hell! Is the Nasdaq shooting up like crazy!!!!"

- hahahaha Normalization is Shin Miju
- I knew it since you started rambling, hahahaha
- Indeed, are you the GOAT... Did you save even the declining American economy...
- You saved America but couldn’t save your account, hahahaha

As I voiced my dissatisfaction, viewers filled the chat room with mockery as if they had been waiting for this moment.
The sight of the chat room being as chaotic as my balance gave me a headache.

- Duntang donated 10,000 won.
[Talking about resistance lines and trend lines, hahahaha So you must have made a lot of money?]

- Joorini donated 1,000 won.
[I made some money thanks to the not-so-reliable recommendations. I'll give you a little bonus, hahahaha]

- Shortchung donated 1,000 won.
[Why do you short and cause me to d*e, you b*tch!!!!]

Even the successive donations were all filled with mockery directed at me.
It felt like the whole world was conspiring for my downfall, but this pressure rather helped calm my mind.

I quelled my anger and calmly assessed the situation.

"Everyone, calm down. The liquidation hasn't happened yet, right? This is just a simple retail investor plucking."

Words directed not at anyone else but to myself.
Through this, I regained the confidence that was fading away.

"Right. There’s no way it could suddenly skyrocket for no reason. This is a battle of patience."

- <<<<< About to be plucked ant
- They say they're going to k*ll you personally because they’re not being plucked~
- A sudden spike for no reason makes no sense, but the crash you desire does?
- Liquidate your position right now. This will hit a new peak today.

Even as I regained my strength, I could hear the voices of the snakes urging me to give up.
However, even in the face of this temptation, I, having come out of a sound state, only solidified my will again.

"Just wait. In the end, I will be the winner today."

I will hold on until the end.

As I made a firm resolution, a bell rang out from somewhere.

"What is that sound?"

I wondered at the sudden noise.

- Wow;;; A call at this hour...?
- A call in the early morning isn’t easy at all;;
- Haha... hurry up and answer it...?

Then, as if to clear my doubts, the viewers' chat urging me to pick up the phone came into view.
From this, I realized that the sound was ringing from my mobile phone.

"Oh, it disconnected."

However, by the time I realized this and checked my phone, the ringing had long stopped, leaving only an unknown number in my missed calls.

"Why on earth would I get a call?"

A phone I usually used only for exploring the gallery, with no calls ever coming for me.
While I marveled at the new function my phone had acquired, the chat room was ablaze with another topic.

- Duntang donated 10,000 won.
[???: Honey, you're so sad from the loss today, right? Should I comfort you?]

- Comfort (ㅍㅍㅅㅅ)
- So what you’re saying is, your boyfriend is grabbing those br*asts that we can’t touch at night?
- What the hell, I'm jealous!!!!!
- Ugh... my heart is pounding so much it hurts...

While I looked at my phone, viewers were writing a novel featuring me as the main character.

"No, that can’t be right! I don’t have a boyfriend!!"

- Oh, is it still just a thing?
- It might be a husband, not a boyfriend.
- N what the hell?!
- Wow; then does he have big hands too?!

Even with my explanation, the viewers refused to stop fabricating stories.

- Drrrr

Even amidst this, the ringing bell further amplified the viewers' misunderstandings.

- Miju♥Jihun donated 50,000 won.
[Just don’t let it slip! Just don’t let it slip!]

- Uh oh... That guy is turning dark;;;
- I fled from another room and here it is, too, another boiler room...
- In the end, a wealthy man is just an ATM...
- You’re no different from other women...

Urgently trying to explain myself amid the viewers’ increasingly dimming perceptions, I continued.

"That’s not it! I don’t know who called me either."

- You got a call at this hour and you don’t know? That doesn’t make sense.
- For real, even spam calls don’t come in the early morning.
- If you’re confident, answer it.
- Speakerphone, let’s go!

"Alright! I can just answer it."

Pressed by the viewers' momentum, I turned on the speakerphone and answered the call.
I thought it would certainly be a trivial ad call, but the conversation went in an unexpected direction.

"Hello, this is the investment securities company. Is this Ms. Kim Miju?"

"Oh? Yes, that’s right."

"Actually, we contacted you because the loss in your investment product has become too significant."

Surprised by the sudden male voice and even more shocked at how it related to my loss, my whole body froze.

"You currently have a loss exceeding 60%... In such a case, if you do not add more margin, we will have no choice but to forcibly close the contract."

But they paid no heed to my plight, continuing on with the cold-hearted capitalism.
This made my stiff mouth move.

"How much exactly...?"

"If you could deposit approximately one million won, that should resolve the issue."

"Yes... understood."

"Thank you. This was the investment securities company."

Finishing the stormy call, I looked at the monitor.
The chat room on the side of the blue account balance was shaking.

- hahahahaha
- Boyfriend (margin call)
- So it's a guy, huh? hahahaha
- How much did you lose for the securities company to call you? hahahaha
- Ah hahaha, if you hold it in, it’ll be a problem hahaha

- Miju♥Jihun donated 100,000 won.
[d*mn! I believed in you!]

With the chat room bursting with laughter, the donation came from a revitalized viewer.
Although the misunderstanding was cleared, an unpleasant aftertaste lingered on my tongue.

"Um... yes... thank you for the donation..."

Regardless, in the situation I desired, my duty was clear.

I expressed my gratitude for the donation and deposited one million won into my account as instructed.
Then, at last, my account could regain its stability.
However, regrettably, this tranquility did not last long.

-----
Estimated profit and loss: -2,500,000 won
Estimated total: 500,000 won
Margin: 1,000,000 won
-----

"No! What’s the problem again!"

Once again, the Nasdaq index began to surge.
At the same time, my losses started to rise exponentially.

- Reason for the surge? "Just"
- ???: Hello, this is the investment securities company.
- hahahaha Another margin call is coming, hahahaha
- Let’s at least introduce ourselves this time, since it seems we’ll be seeing each other often hahahaha

Simultaneously, the chat room began to bubble with energy again.
Within it, chat about margin calls also started arising.

'Not again!'

Just moments ago I struggled with embarrassment, but repeating that once more would bring an overwhelming sense of shame.

"Aha! Right! I lost, I lost!"

With tears welling up, I admitted my defeat.
Hitting the sell liquidation button to save at least the remaining 500,000 won, the massive bullish candle that appeared at that moment wiped away all my remaining assets.

- Liquidated.

I lifted my head at the cruel sound resonating and stared at my balance.

-----
Estimated profit and loss: -3,000,000 won
Estimated total: 0 won
Margin: 1,000,000 won
-----

Yet, inside the account, only the last margin I deposited remained.
