Chapter 36: The Streamer’s Life is Getting Fucked (2)

After a long argument, I managed to get a loan for 80% of the deposit, instead of the 90% they had initially offered.

I was grateful to the bank employee who listened to my situation and diligently looked into it for me, but….

Even so, 10% of the deposit is 10 million won.

10 million won isn’t some dog’s name….

At least I had about half a year to pay the comprehensive income tax, but I have to come up with the remaining deposit within 3 weeks.

Of course, even if I can’t pay the deposit, I won’t be legally sued or arrested.

The contract will just be canceled, so it’s not a big problem for the person who put the house up for rent.

The problem is that the landlord takes the 10%, 10 million won, that I put in as a deposit.

The situation is clear.

If I can come up with 10 million won within 3 weeks, I can move into the new house.

If I can’t, the 10 million won I put in as a deposit will evaporate without any meaning.

“Haa….”

I sat down on a bench in front of the bank and sighed.

I thought I had been sighing a lot lately, but what can I do? The situation keeps making me sigh.

But I can’t just keep sighing.

As always, let’s use my head and squeeze it.

I only have about 500,000 won in cash right now, and I need to come up with about 10 million won.

“How much money came in last month…? It should be quite a lot.”

I picked up my phone and went to the settlement page of the donation platform.

The donations for November written on the settlement page were about 5 million won.

Thanks to that incident last month, more donations came in than usual.

The date I have to deposit the deposit is two days after the date I receive the donations.

Considering that 10% of the donations are taken as fees, I’ll have about 5 million won when combined with the money I originally had.

….

Even without considering all the living expenses and fixed expenses, I’m short 5 million won.

I stared at my phone for a long time, trying to find a solution, but the more I looked at the situation in detail, the more clearly I realized that I was screwed, and I couldn’t see any breakthrough.

“…Sigh. Let’s go home for now.”

I got up from the bench and headed home.

It was a 30-minute walk, but I walked slowly to clear my complicated head.

5 million won.

It’s definitely not a small amount of money.

I deeply regretted that I shouldn’t have hired an editor and Illurre if I had known this would happen.

After all, I have to teach the editor for a while, and I don’t need thumbnails until the video comes out, so it wasn’t like there were immediate expenses, but the 400,000 won I gave as a year-end bonus and the tablet felt too painful.

But I can’t take back what I already gave….

There’s nothing I can do about the money that’s already gone.

Instead of regretting it, let’s find a way.

The options I can choose right now are, at first glance, about 3.

One is to borrow money from people around me.

The second is to just think of it as throwing away 10 million won and giving up on moving.

And the last one is….

Somehow filling this month’s donations up to 5 million won within the remaining 2 weeks.

Donations received through the donation platform are generally received after the settlement of one month.

In other words, the donations received in November are settled in December and received in early January.

But there are always exceptions.

The donation platform has a policy of giving streamers who urgently need money an advance on donations ‘only once’.

If you write down the reason for requesting an advance and submit it to the platform, you can receive an advance if the reason is justified.

In short, if I earn 5 million won in December, I can somehow solve the deposit problem right away.

But it’s also a service that can only be requested once, and since it’s an advance, I won’t have any income in February.

Furthermore, since I have to return the income from January to the deposit, there was a problem that I had to endure for 2 months without any money.

The last resort.

That was the perfect choice.

I picked up my phone again and checked the settlement page, and this month’s income was just over 2 million won.

I have to fill 3 million won in the remaining 2 weeks of December….

It’s not entirely impossible.

No, to be precise, I already know the method.

I just don’t want to do it.

A few days later.

I was staring at the opened box in front of me.

Inside the box was a cosplay outfit called a ‘Santa girl’.

And the fact that this was in front of me meant that one thing was clear.

I couldn’t borrow money.

Damn it….

In fact, it can’t be helped, even if you’ve known someone for a long time while seeing their face, it’s not easy to lend 5 million won.

Let alone knowing them while seeing their face for a long time, the amount I could borrow with only online friends is not possible.

Sigh.

I was somewhat expecting it, so I was prepared, so I resigned myself, took the clothes out of the box, and went to the mirror.

It’s been a month and a half since I became a woman.

I’m slowly getting used to seeing myself in women’s clothes, but….

“Is this… is this right?”

This was the first time I had worn such revealing clothes.

A dress that completely exposes the shoulders and upper chest.

Because my breasts are so big, my cleavage was also exposed frankly.

At least the bottom wasn’t that short, so I don’t have to worry about my panties showing.

Anyway, what’s certain is that if I turn on the broadcast wearing this, it will be preserved as a video and used for a long time.

Will I sell the present to buy the future?

Will I sell the future to buy the present?

Either way, it was clear that it would be painful.

So, let’s weigh between the 10 million won right now and my embarrassing appearance that will be preserved semi-permanently.

“….”

As a result of thinking deeply.

It seems like my pride doesn’t have that much value.

If I wasn’t going to do it because of my pride, I wouldn’t have started netcaming in the first place.

It would be funny if I, who made a living by flirting with men while doing netcaming, now refused because of my pride, wouldn’t it?

So I decided.

I’m going to make a lot of money with this!

I’m going to pay the deposit with the money I make!

I’m going to live happily in the house I moved into after paying the deposit!

…

So, can’t you just give me one reason?

I abandoned my pride, but it was a timid rebellion as a former man.

Christmas Eve.

Many couples were walking hand in hand on the streets, but for streamers, it was just another broadcasting day as always.

“Ha-Hiro~ December 24th Friday broadcast! Let’s start~ Merry Christmas Eve!”

[Ha-Hiro~]

[Ha-Hiro~]

[Nunaa… my side is so cold…]

[Christmas Eve broadcast is the best]

[Santa girl doesn’t exist today?]

[What color are Hiro’s panties today?]

[Santa girl doesn’t exist?]

[Give me Nuna’s mams as a Christmas gift this year]

[Ha-Hiro~]

“That Santa girl thing… Do you guys really want to see Santa girl that much?”

[to]

[to]

[to]

[Yes]

[Eeeeeee]

“You’ve been talking about Santa girl so much that it’s disgusting all week….”

Hiro trailed off.

As if there was something she wanted to say, but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

And some of the 500 viewers sharply read that subtle signal.

[Hiro-nim, how much would you charge for Santa girl?]

“What do you mean how much! I said I’m not doing it?!”

A subtly trembling voice, unlike her usual firmness.

Some people who saw hope there slowly tested the waters.

[Hiro-crush-rice-bowl-nim donated 1,000 won!]
[Nunaaaa… our sides are so cold… I think it will be warm if Nuna wears Santa girl ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

“Here we go again….

I know that if I do it once because you ask me to, you’ll keep asking me to do it?

Nope~ No way~ Go away~”

[We’re not asking for much, let’s just do it once]

[Ha-Hiro~]

[What, are you doing Santa girl?]

[Oh, Santa girl]

[Department-store-lawn-thief-BaekSeungmin donated 1,000 won!]
[I’m really curious, President, so I’m asking you.

Are you embarrassed to wear Santa girl because you’ve gained weight lately?]

[lmao]

[That’s right, it’s because you gained weight]

[Nuna seems to have gained weight lately]

“Here we go again, you malicious people are trying to corner me, really!”

[Hiro-pig-ology]

[Yeah, fatty]

[That’s because you’re a pig]

[-Pig-]

[Let’s verify it]

[A bum pig is talking]

As the atmosphere became more and more determined that if she didn’t wear the Santa girl outfit, it was because she had gained weight,

“I don’t want to!!

Do you think clothes come for free?

I said I spent a lot of money on moving and I have to save money….

Stop forcing me!!”

Hiro tried to escape from the pressure of the viewers by making the excuse that she didn’t have money.

But.

[A quest has been registered.]

[Wearing a Santa girl outfit on Christmas]

[Department-store-lawn-thief-BaekSeungmin added 100,000 won.]

“Hey, even so, 100,000 won to wear a Santa girl outfit is….”

[Hiro-thigh-soft-soft-nim added 100,000 won.]

[Hiro’s-foot-licker added 10,000 won.]

[Benirof added 500,000 won.]

[Popopo added 300,000 won.]

[Cat-in-the-room added 20,000 won.]
.

[Winter-streetlight-road added 10,000 won.]

[lyuu1424 added 300,000 won.]

[Wearing a Santa girl outfit on Christmas]

[1,346,000 won]

“No, you crazy humans.”

In the end, I succumb to money.

Of course, it was on purpose.
