[TS] Starting the Broadcast - Chapter 126

After sending off the 24th with numerous worries, the morning of the 25th dawned.

Today too, today's sun rises.

I'm a coward.

I decided to leave the honest choice of my heart to my future self and think about it more.

Then what should I, in the present, do?

It's living faithfully in the given time.

I woke up early in the morning and went to Myung-hoon's gym to exercise after a long time.

I run down the main street, breathing in the fresh morning air.

After running for about 15 minutes, I arrived at the gym.

My body is slightly warmed up now, which is just right.

I exchanged eye greetings with Myung-hoon and quickly changed before starting to exercise.

"Haa... Haa..."

Gazes gather unfailingly today too.

I realized anew that the more I remain in people's memories, the more points needed to return to being a man increase, but I already knew most of the members, and it's impossible to completely prevent someone from looking at me.

It's the same with avoiding a life confined at home with no outside contact.

I'm just trying to be faithful to my current life.

"Good work! I'm going."

"Ah, take care."

After exercising intensely for about an hour, I head back home.

The current time is 9 o'clock.

Office workers going to work late are occasionally seen.

And shops starting their morning business too.

If you pay attention, you can see everyone living diligently like this.

I wonder what my life was like?

My life as a man and my life now.

I needed to think about it more.

"Phew..."

I ran quickly to erase complicated thoughts, and soon arrived home.

Calming my rapidly beating heart, I take a light shower and prepare a simple breakfast.

Is it too late to call it breakfast?

Anyway, I sprinkled some dressing on a small packaged salad and took it to the computer.

I had been too indifferent to all issues except King of Masked Singer for a while.

Yesterday too, I spent all day just worrying.

While eating the salad, I checked various issues.

First, the most talked-about topic was still stories about the 'Survival Game'.

Each BJ's fandom led the charge fiercely, and viewers newly drawn in after watching the video on Regeno TV joined the fight.

It was complete chaos.

Starting from pointing out individuals' selfish actions to rebuttals saying "Would you not do the same in that situation?" and telling people to mind their conscience... Right below were tons of comments comparing the two female BJs.

It's been four days since the broadcast on the 21st, but the community was still blazing with that content.

'This might have been more beneficial for me than King of Masked Singer.'

Of course, looking at just the overall size of the pie, there's no comparison.

No matter how popular the Survival Game is, it's clearly in a different league from public broadcast, and King of Masked Singer was one of the most popular programs among such public broadcasts.

But the problem was still the penalty I would get from my identity being revealed.

An enormous number of people would get to know about me.

But most of them would be ordinary people unconnected to personal broadcasting.

Those people wouldn't be much help regarding my points.

On the other hand, most people watching the Survival Game were viewers familiar with personal broadcasting or intending to watch in the future.

These people had a high possibility of flowing into my personal broadcast or YouTube channel, so while the penalty from my face being revealed would be the same, the following benefits were different.

'Are there no other issues?'

There was occasional content about well-known BJs or YouTubers conducting personal content, but 'Survival Game' had become a black hole absorbing all attention.

They were sinking below the surface without becoming big topics.

'Well, this seems enough... Let's go to the academy and prepare for broadcasting.'

Setting aside the issue of becoming a celebrity, I needed to prepare for the defense match since I unexpectedly became the King.

The next recording is on November 30th.

The broadcast of that filming is on December 26th, and since they produce 2 weeks' worth from one filming, they said there's no recording on December 7th and 14th.

'Is it a system of recording for 2 consecutive weeks and resting for 2 weeks? Well, the broadcasting station must have its own reasons.'

Anyway, once I finish the stage 5 days later, I'll have some free time.

Of course, if I'm eliminated, there's no need for such calculations and all schedules will be empty.

"Aaa, aaaa, aaaaa!"

Arriving at the academy, I head straight to the practice room.

A place that has somehow become my exclusive space.

Starting from low notes to high notes, I check my vocalization while slowly raising the level.

Then I start stretching.

The basics are most important for both dancing and singing.

Moreover, since there's a break time in the middle of the song I'm thinking of this time, I needed thorough practice with the intention of incorporating dance as well.

Though I became the King unexpectedly, I had no intention of easily giving up the throne.

[What if you become a long-term King and gain tremendous fame? If you're not careful, your face could become known nationwide.]

'Nah, no way. There are so many good singers in our country.'

Just The Clown and Elsa were singers with better vocal skills than me.

The reason I could win was because I received high scores for the shocking appearances that kept popping up as the rounds progressed and the fresh singing style never seen before.

It's novel because it's the first.

Then what about next time?

The shock the judges receive will be much less than the first time, and the moment will come when I'm evaluated on my inherent vocal skills.

Then I'll naturally be eliminated.

[But didn't Producer Bae Il-man say it too?]

'What?'

[That the administrator's ability isn't simply in singing and dancing.]

'Ah... Did he mean that planning ability? Come on! It's still a singing competition, that would be putting the cart before the horse.'

[We'll see the results when the time comes.]

'Don't plant weird flags! It makes me nervous.'

Since today was the first day of resuming practice, I finished lightly by tracing the lines of the choreography and following it from start to finish.

For singing too, I just checked the pitch and rhythm while singing to the end.

After finishing practice at the academy and returning home, it was already a little past 3 PM.

It's a formal broadcast after a really long time.

In that sense, I decided to start the broadcast a bit early.

-Haha! Hani, it means hi.

-Sis, why did you come only now. I love you! I can't live without you, sis.

-Horn! Horns are perfect. Horns made of keratin or bone are a powerful means of attack or defense, and can be found not only in animals but also in arthropods like insects and mollusks like snails.

-There are no bad people among those who love wings. Expecting an angel of God cosplay cam...

-Lol those two concept-obsessed guys have completely settled in this room.

Maybe because it's been a while since a formal broadcast, even such silly chats felt welcome.

I greeted briefly while reading familiar nicknames one by one.

The number of viewers filling up quickly.

It easily surpassed 2000 and was going back and forth between 2600-2700.

"Hello. I'm Hani, an angel without wings, and unfortunately for those of you with that taste, without horns. There are many other modifiers, but I'll omit them due to time constraints."

-Lol what's that taste.

-Our room's taste is united in Hani!

-But I watched Survival Game episodes 1 and 2, and you didn't appear. What on earth is that enormous project?

-Yeah I'm curious too.

"Uh... As I said before, I signed a confidentiality agreement. But I've become much more relaxed now, so there won't be any breaks in broadcasting."

-OK! As long as you broadcast diligently again.

-But what are you going to do today? Since it's been a while, you must have prepared an amazing new content, right?

"Nah! Seeing me after a long time is the content."

-Shut up!

-Ah... sorry sorry;; My true feelings came out without realizing.

-Lol hurry and move. You'll get kicked.

Maybe because it's been a while, the chat had become slightly spicy.

Since this level was within the allowable range for fun, I turned on the cam screen with a small sigh.

-Wow! This is it.

-For real, Hani's face never gets old no matter how much you see it. Is it because it's celebrity level?

-Honestly it's funny seeing people compare Hani's face with the top 3 female cams on the boards lol. It seems hard to compete even with makeup and lighting combined, but it's annoying seeing them insist their BJs are superior.

"Please refrain from remarks disparaging other BJs and their fans."

Hani's Uncle Fan, who just connected, starts managing the chat room wearing the manager armband.

The atmosphere becomes more orderly.

In that atmosphere, I consider what content to proceed with today.

'Since it's been a while for a formal broadcast, it seems like anything would work. How about League of Legends? Since the season end is approaching, it might be good to play a few intense games.'

Come to think of it, it's been over ten days since I last played League of Legends.

Just as my thoughts were solidifying in that direction, the Discord notification sound started ringing.

"Hm? Ah, wait a moment. I got a message from Mia."

-Oh? Could this be?

-Is something big coming? Is something big coming? Is something big coming?

-Lol I know what Mia's going to say. It's all written in Mia's broadcast title right now.

It seems Mia has something to propose.

"Sis!"

"Yes, Mia. Have you been well?"

"I thought I was going to die not contacting you for two days!"

Yesterday and today, I had things to worry about all day, so I had asked acquaintances in advance to refrain from contacting me.

Anyway, after exchanging small talk, Mia got to the main point.

"Sis, we're trying to play Among Us with people we know right now. I think it would be fun if you joined too."

"Among Us?"

Among Us randomly assigns the role of crewmate or impostor to players each game. Crewmates need to complete given missions to lead the game to victory, while impostors need to eliminate all crewmates while hiding their identity to win.

It's like the 'Mafia' game we used to enjoy before changed into an online game format.

It was also content that has become very popular recently and often appears in trending YouTube videos.

"Are there people I know too?"

"Yes. There's Keul-mu-mu oppa, Waka-nim, and 19-year-old Girl unnie. The other three are people you don't know."

"Hmm... Alright. Let's do it together."

"Yay! Please wait a moment. I'll invite you."

"Take your time. I've never played before, so I need to download the game first."

I've been interested for a while, and a good opportunity came just in time.

Viewers are very excited as this is content that has never appeared on my broadcast before.

It was the moment today's broadcast content was decided.
