Chapter 62: Content Creators

The 6th grade elementary school trip passed by surprisingly quickly.

You can feel the sense of time flowing quickly when you feel joy or focus on something, but it wasn’t particularly because I enjoyed the school trip.

The first day started at 8 am.

The second day was from waking up to 3 pm, so it was physically a short time.

After a hard first day, the second day ended with mostly historical and cultural heritage explanations.

I almost felt proud of our school for the first time, as we were pushed out by other schools or lacked the budget to go to theme parks or amusement facilities that children like.

So, I took the rumbling tour bus back to school, carried my bag with clothes, and had today’s closing remarks.

“Sua, will the things I filmed be uploaded to the vlog too?”

“I don’t know. It’s up to my uncle. If it’s usable, he’ll put it in, right?”

After I, Heo Jintae, and Son Hyeji started hanging out together, the role of cameraman for my vlog changed periodically.

Son Hyeji also seemed to have some interest in camera equipment, as she was thinking of becoming a YouTuber.

When I told her it was a vlog camera, she volunteered to film, so the two of them took turns filming me.

‘I feel like I’m getting more attention from other kids because it’s increased from one to two, but….’

The other children who were used to Heo Jintae sticking with me seemed a little surprised to see Son Hyeji sticking with me as well.

Whenever that happened, Son Hyeji stepped in and talked cheerfully, so the other children didn’t say anything.

This child also seems to have a considerable social butterfly temperament.

I feel like only social butterflies are gathering around me.

Is this the situation of social butterflies’ favorite doll that I heard about from outcasts?

‘What do you mean, doll…. They’re just sticking around on their own.’

I shook my head at the absurd imagination, and Son Hyeji tilted her head.

“Well, anyway. I’ve set the notification, so I’ll watch it and like it as soon as it’s uploaded~”

“Not watching it would be the most helpful thing for me.”

“I can’t do that.”

“Damn it.”

All the social butterflies around me are these kinds of vicious people.

Vicious people who want to tease poor outcasts.

Is it that fun to bully others?

“First of all, don’t tell anyone. Don’t write my personal information in the comments.”

“I know that much. The internet is so dangerous these days.”

“Then, please.”

After leaving the school gate, we waved to each other and went our separate ways.

Heo Jintae had already left with other boys.

After almost 30 hours, I finally was alone and sighed deeply.

The ghost story that elementary schools are built on top of cemeteries was somewhat understandable for two days.

I didn’t run and play with the children directly, but just watching them made me feel like the positive energy was gushing out and something inside me was being purified and volatilized.

Perhaps it was my shallow energy and my soul full of negative energy.

Thanks to that, my HP was close to 0.

I want to go back to the studio quickly, eat high-calorie food, and lie in bed.

So, I was walking like a zombie, carrying a slightly thickened bag with the clothes I wore and the souvenirs that were pushed on me.

“Huh?”

When I turned the corner, I saw a familiar face.

“Seo Sua?”

“Oh, Seo Yebin.”

“…Isn’t it a bit much to call me by my name?”

“Older sister.”

“No, the word ‘unnie’…. No, it’s okay. I’m not in a position to say this and that.”

She smiled awkwardly when she saw me and scratched her head.

When I saw that, the harsh impression that remained in my memory disappeared to some extent, and it seemed that a somewhat gentle atmosphere was flowing.

It seems that she really regrets what happened in the past.

But why is she here now?

Didn’t middle school have a long time left until it ended?

When I gave her a slightly glaring look, Seo Yebin immediately noticed and was startled.

“Ah, no. Our school went on a school trip now, but I didn’t go. So I was studying at school, and the homeroom teacher told me to go home early on the last day, so I ate lunch and was wandering around….”

“I see? It’s your first school trip since you became a middle school student, you should have gone. The school would have supported that much.”

“But there’s still a personal burden. I thought it would be better to just study at school.”

Hehe, Seo Yebin laughed and explained diligently.

Somehow, I felt like the situation was reversed from before, so I felt a little strange.

“I know it’s uncomfortable, but don’t talk so low. It makes me more uncomfortable.”

“…Okay.”

“So, where were you planning to go now?”

“Not really decided…. I was just going to walk around this area and think about what to write.”

“You’re still doing it?”

The small advice I gave her.

She took it seriously and continued it.

“It’s the thing I’m most motivated to do out of everything I’ve done so far. I think I write about 10 pages almost every day.”

“10 pages of A4? Typed?”

“No? By hand.”

“You’re writing 10 pages by hand?”

“That’s right…?”

“No, you’re such a foolish person….”

Even if you type a novel, 10 pages takes a lot of time, but she was writing it on paper by hand.

There’s a limit to being foolish.

At that rate, it’s not writing a novel, it’s just writing lines.

Why is she punishing herself and living like that.

“You can go to a PC bang or the school computer lab and write with a computer.”

“Weeell…, I’m embarrassed to think that someone might see what I’m writing….”

“So you’re doing the foolish act of writing by hand.”

If she had a laptop or tablet, she could at least write in a private space, but there’s no way she could buy such things with the allowance from the orphanage.

That’s why she had no choice but to write in a notebook or paper.

After hearing her words, I thought for a moment.

Writing that I recommended her to start.

In the end, it was her choice, but since this situation happened because of me, I felt some responsibility.

Unlike before, she seems to be living diligently now….

“So, you have nothing to do later, right?”

“That’s right?”

I threw the bag I was carrying to her and said.

“Then, let’s go somewhere together. And be my bag shuttle.”

“Huh, uh?”

“Aren’t you coming quickly, bag shuttle?”

“Oh, yeah. I’m coming!”

I took Seo Yebin and went to the studio.

It was still early, so Lee wasn’t there.

“Here is…?”

“It’s my studio. I eat, sleep, and work here.”

“Ah, this is where you live.”

She looked around with a slightly curious look.

A living room similar to a meeting room. Filming equipment placed here and there. Piles of documents.

It was far from an ordinary house, so she blinked her eyes and looked around.

“You said you help PD, it’s really a full-fledged place. But why did you bring me here?”

“I’m going to give you some work.”

“Work?”

I turned on the computer and showed her my channel.

“It’s a YouTube channel I run. I’m doing it as a side job while helping the old man.”

“Huh? You have 24,000 subscribers?”

“It doesn’t mean much.”

I opened another channel page.

Lee’s Bear Uncle channel.

“This is the vlog channel that Lee is doing.”

“Oh, oh….”

“My appearance is covered here, but it’s still shown.”

I opened another page.

This time, it was the vlog video that Bom uploaded.

“I’ve made quite a few connections with famous people while hanging out with Lee. So there are times when my appearance is revealed like this.”

“Oh, that’s the kid I saw on TV.”

“I don’t want this appearance of mine and YouTube’s ‘Dancing Racoon’ to be linked as the same person.”

“I see?”

“So I’ll leave that part of the work to you.”

“Huh…?”

Seo Yebin blinks her eyes, wondering if she heard correctly.

And when she realized that she didn’t hear it wrong, she was naturally bewildered.

“So, you’re saying that you want me to prevent people on the internet from finding out that you’re that YouTuber?”

“Yes, that’s right. You have a YouTube account, right? I’ll give you permission to manage comments, so if you see such comments or atmosphere, please delete them.”

Even at my sudden words, she didn’t refuse or show any signs of dislike, and nodded.

“…Okay. If you say so. But I won’t be able to check it every day. I have to go to a PC bang to use a computer.”

“I’m not going to not take care of employee welfare to that extent. Here, take it.”

A small laptop that was on the corner of the desk.

It’s an office laptop that Lee bought a long time ago, so the performance isn’t very good.

It’s discontinued now, so if you buy it used, it would be around 100,000 won.

I handed her such a cheap laptop and said.

“I’ll support you with a laptop, so manage it with this. This should be enough.”

“No, I can’t accept this! Besides, this is yours!”

“Then I have no choice but to buy it with my money. Are you going to make me spend that money?”

“That’s not it….”

“I’m not someone who gives you 1,000 won and tells you to buy cream bread and banana milk and bring back 500 won.”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“So don’t make me a bad person, and just take it.”

When I spoke coercively, she finally accepted it with both hands.

Then she hugged it tightly as if it was precious and blushed with joy.

“Well, you can write with it too.”

“Thank you….”

She bowed her head deeply and thanked me, but I waved my hand and didn’t accept the greeting.

I gave her the laptop on the pretext of her, but what I asked for was also necessary.

It’s most important that issues don’t arise, but it’s the best way to prevent them from taking root at all.

It can be thought of as a kind of insurance.

‘Besides, there’s something else I can get help with.’

I grinned and said to her.

“Yeah, what is it?”

“Can you come up with some content?”

“Content?”

Osorin has been getting on my nerves a little since last time….

But I’m too kind and good, so I can’t think of a way to bother Osorin.

“It’s content to use on internet broadcasts. Please come up with content that can bother the broadcaster appropriately and without crossing the line.”

So I decided to leave it to an expert in bullying.

“Yeah, Sua. What’s up?”

“New content? That’s great~ What is it?”

“…Uh, huh? What?”

“……I hate it!!!”

“Eeeek!!! Ah, I won’t do it!!!”

“I hate it!!!!!”
