Chapter 35: I Have Been Dispatched

Internet broadcasting community.

As the popularity of internet broadcasting increased, the number of people using the bulletin board also increased, and now it has become a popular bulletin board with an average of 6 posts per minute.

If you want to know something that is popular in internet broadcasting, it is said that if you look at this community for 10 minutes, you will know.

Therefore, not only fans of broadcasters but also a considerable number of broadcasters were using the community.

Of course, since everything was anonymous, you couldn’t know who was who, but thanks to that, even well-known broadcasters could use the community comfortably.

Today, as always, a community that talks about recent trends and broadcasting.

A certain broadcaster’s name was constantly mentioned there.

It was natural for someone who couldn’t stand curiosity to click.

“Wow, this is just manual work, but she did it to this extent?”

Jina, after finishing her broadcast.

Before going to sleep, it became a kind of routine for her to look at the popular posts on the internet community.

It was the reason why her broadcast was always fresh and popular, always grasping the trends and incorporating them into her broadcast.

Today, while checking the popular posts, Jina saw a familiar name, clicked on it, and couldn’t help but admire the content.

While telling the story of a dinner with her, the character’s expression changes to match the situation.

At first glance, it seems to change automatically, but you could notice that it was manual work due to a slight delay or the expression changing in advance.

But the reason why Jina noticed it at a glance was not only for that reason, but also because she had tried this method before.

‘I kept making mistakes even with three expressions, so I just gave up. How many did she show now….’

Even with a simple check, it exceeds ten.

To be able to remember all of them and show them immediately….

‘She really is a broadcasting genius….’

She felt that it was unusual from the first time she saw her.

Breaking through the loopholes of the rules in the audition and showing her broadcast itself.

Utilizing her good reactions to play difficult games or horror games more realistically.

Of course, she knows that the ideas for those came from the child editor.

However, accurately performing them and adding fun is Osorin’s ability alone.

She realized it when she talked to her on the phone or saw her in person.

She is always full of energy and bright.

And the decisive thing is, ‘she is fun as a person’.

Simple fun.

That is what broadcasters who provide laughter pursue the most.

In that sense, Osorin could be said to have a natural talent for broadcasting.

‘It was that child editor who showed that rough gem to the world.’

Jina fell onto the bed while holding her phone.

Then she recalled Osorin’s editor, whom she had seen at the last dinner.

A small stature that comes to her waist, wrapped in winter clothes, like a white-browed titmouse puffing up its fur in winter. (It is commonly called a parrotbill, but it is known incorrectly)

Recalling that this small and cute child created this whole situation makes her laugh out loud.

“Ah, come to think of it, is she doing well?”

Thinking of Osorin’s editor, she suddenly remembered the editor who quit her job some time ago.

She was the editor of Jina for 6 years, so Jina tried to stop her from leaving, but she couldn’t hold back someone who was going to pursue her dream.

“What was it, something similar to a game character design.”

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t remember.

So Jina called right away.

She was the type of person who couldn’t keep her curiosity, and she had no hesitation in calling about this.

It was already late at night and almost midnight, but people who make a living with computers often have their days and nights reversed.

Jina was like that, and so was her editor.

So she naturally called even though it was late, and as if it was natural, the call was connected.

“Hello, is this Hayoon?”

-Oh, boss. It’s been a while….

“Yeah, it’s been a while. I suddenly thought of you and called. Why is your voice dying again?”

-That’s…. I got a request for a job and I’m doing it, but the client is so picky. When I finish and send it, they ask me to add something, and when I do that and send it, they ask me to replace it, and when I do that and send it, they say it’s awkward…. This b*tch!!

“I’m glad you’re doing well.”

It’s good that her temper hasn’t changed yet.

“I’m not interrupting you, am I?”

-It’s okay. Anyway, I sent it again and I’m taking a break while waiting for a reply. What’s up?

“I just suddenly wondered what you were doing.”

-I told you so many times. I’m going to work as a rigger.

“Ah, right. Rigger.”

-You’re going to forget again after this.

“It’s not a word that sticks to your mouth.”

Hayoon sighed as if she was used to Jina’s shameless attitude.

Still, after hearing each other’s voices after a long time, the two of them began to chat despite the late night.

Then, when they were talking about recent broadcasts, Jina noticed that Hayoon’s words had decreased a little and asked.

“You, you don’t watch my broadcasts these days.”

-What time do I have to watch broadcasts…. I only watch YouTube occasionally.

“That’s odd, you were mumbling about the content uploaded on YouTube.”

-I’m busted.

It wasn’t a reprimand, but a joke, so Hayoon took it in a good mood.

They usually joke around like this.

-Ah, but I did see that. Osorin’s audition collab. I was drawn in by the thumbnail and title. Wow, the editing was amazing. I heard that person became Osorin’s YouTube editor?

“You’re a former editor, so you probably have an eye for editing, right?”

-It’s an unavoidable occupational disease.

“Then did you see this?”

Jina immediately sent a link to Hayoon.

It was a clip of Osorin’s broadcast today.

Hayoon, who saw it, exclaimed ‘Oh’ softly.

-She’s manually changing the pictures one by one? The eyes and mouth seem to move automatically when it recognizes the voice. The boss tried to do this before but gave up. This person is amazing?

“Right?”

-When we tried to do it before, we were just going to use three illustrations. Doing it like this definitely brings it to life. It’s a little disappointing that the posture is fixed…? It would be fun to tweak this a little….

Hayoon muttered to herself while talking and fell into her own world.

Should this be called a new occupational disease?

She started to analyze and supplement Osorin’s standing image style using technical terms that Jina couldn’t understand.

‘She’s still like this.’

She showed this kind of appearance from the time she was Jina’s editor.

If she finds someone’s editing video interesting, she analyzes it, thinks of a better way, and makes it her own.

That’s why Jina’s YouTube had more diverse editing styles than other streamers’ YouTube videos.

Even though Hayoon’s interests have changed, her curiosity and desire to learn were second to none.

Seeing her like that, Jina made a suggestion.

“If you’re that interested, should I connect you?”

-Yes Yes?

“I don’t know what it is, but you want to do something with that style, right? Then you should.”

-No, that’s true, but…. Still, this is personal.

“Then, in the form of a request. The period is until you and the owner are satisfied with the result. I’ll pay you. You can do it after you finish what you’re doing now. How about it?”

-The average cost of the work I do is quite expensive, you know?

“She’s worried about my money.”

-That’s true. But why are you doing this for me all of a sudden? I already quit….

“We have a bond from all that time. Besides, I like Osorin.”

That’s also true, but if I do this, I think I can owe that child editor a favor.

Jina’s intuition was quite accurate.

Especially, it was almost 90 percent accurate for people she had met in person.

And in Jina’s intuition, it didn’t seem like the child editor would stop at this level.

That child is the type of person who always looks far away.

Surely this style will also be a step towards reaching a certain goal.

Besides.

‘If I can use that amazing editor once, this is a bargain.’

She had such sinister thoughts, but since it wasn’t a video call, Hayoon had no way of knowing.

She was just moved that Jina was doing this for her.

-I, if the boss thinks of me that much, it’s not polite to refuse! I’ll gratefully do it!

“If you’re really grateful, show me with the result. Got it?”

-Of course!

At first, her voice was dying, but by the time the call ended, her voice tone was high, like someone who was eager to do something quickly.

It is often said that if a hobby becomes a job, the fun things feel like work and you don’t want to do them, but that’s only half true.

Jina herself, who broadcasts, and those who have jobs in the arts or as freelancers in this world mostly start working as a hobby.

Of course, there are inevitably difficult moments when things don’t work out and don’t go as expected.

But doing what I like.

That alone motivates me to work, and that in turn increases the completeness of the result.

The most important thing for a freelancer is nothing else.

Not losing your original intention.

Not forgetting the excitement you felt in your heart when you saw what you liked.

That is the most difficult and must-keep thing.

“Ah, there’s one thing to be careful about.”

-Something to be careful of? Is she perhaps not a good person….

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t like her. It’s not about Osorin, it’s about Osorin’s YouTube editor.”

-Editor?

“Yeah, she’s a little special. No, should I say she’s strange? Well, you’ll know when you talk to her in person.”

Hayoon tilting her head and questioning.

With those words, she ends the call.

She throws her phone on the head of the bed and covers herself with a blanket.

‘I wonder how the child editor will react.’

Surprise gift.

The debt hidden in it.

If she finds out about that, wouldn’t those soft cheeks puff up with all their might?

With that thought, she raised the corners of her mouth.

One day, someone entered the Discord room where Osorin, Jina, and I were.

Hayoon: I’m Hayoon, Jina’s former editor.

Hayoon: The boss sent me on a dispatch to Osorin!

Hayoon: Nice to meet you!

“…Huh?”

While brushing my teeth and looking at the message, I let out that dumbfounded sound.

Editor?

Am I getting fired?
