Chapter 72: Weekend Off? Weekend Off?

In order to give Mom and Dad some time alone, I decided to spend the night at Osorin’s house from time to time.

I figured they must have had a lot they couldn’t do because of me, since they were newlyweds.

I was largely at fault for not being considerate enough all this time.

Since they both worked, there weren’t many situations where they could be alone.

‘If I’m always in the house when they get home, it can’t be helped.’

Thinking that, I feel needlessly sorry.

I sat on the sofa, leaning back, and put caramel popcorn in my mouth, thinking such thoughts.

“Kyaa~ Our Bom is a complete scene-stealer. The screen brightens up every time she appears?”

Osorin’s house. In the living room with the lights completely turned off, we were watching Bom’s first movie, <Police Family>.

It’s already been a few months since it was released, and I already saw it at the premiere, but Osorin held me captive and forced me to watch the movie, saying she had to watch it again.

Who does she think assisted in directing this movie….

I’ve seen the content so much that I’m sick of it, and I can even memorize the lines now.

“…Did you like Bom that much, unnie.”

“Of course. I like everything cute. I’ve probably seen all the dramas that Bom appeared in?”

“Well, you did have a Bom World Cup. If you like her that much, shall I introduce you two? It’s a free time now that the work is over.”

“No no no no. Fans have to stay in their place as fans. I can’t bother her for no reason. …Well, if it’s a coincidence?”

The last word was muttered almost inaudibly, but it was clearly audible to me, who was being held in her arms.

It was a word that was meant to be heard.

I’ll have to set up a meeting between Bom and her someday.

The movie ends and the credits roll.

When I open the blackout curtains, I see the sunset sky.

It was a little late. But our work started now.

“It would have been better if you didn’t rest the broadcast and just did it while watching the movie earlier.”

“I can’t skip the time to play with Sua. Don’t worry about the broadcast.”

“You’re completely relaxed with the broadcast now. But I don’t think it’s good to scratch the viewers with the notice of absence.”

“What did I scratch?”

Sometimes, when Osorin urgently takes a day off, she writes a playful notice on the YouTube community and receives a lot of comments.

As she became more relaxed with the broadcast, her chemistry with the viewers increased significantly.

They hit and hit each other, and the broadcast naturally became richer, and now they intentionally tease and curse each other.

And that was well represented in Osorin’s urgent notice of absence.

[Today is a day off.]

Hello everyone

It’s been a while since I posted a notice hehe

Today is a day off

I wanted to broadcast with all my heart, but yesterday, before going to bed, I saw a collection of cute moments of the super-ultra-kawaii-best-beauty Bom, so I had no choice but to rewatch the movie that came out this time.

It was a regular day off a while ago, so please refrain from saying that I should have watched it then.

Just as you guys are eagerly waiting for me, a genius beautiful girl, for 5 days a week, I hope you remember that I am also a fan of someone hehe

Still, even if I take a day off, I feel like I’m with you guys.

I think you guys feel the same way hehe

My broadcast has many viewers in their 10s and 20s.

Then have a happy weekend everyone~

-You’re talking bullsh*t (meaning I love you) even in the notice  (Likes 1.2k)

-Haha, teacher, you suddenly posted a notice of absence, so I thought you had an accident. But I’m relieved to hear that you threw away the broadcast because you were being a nerd.

Just as you always think that we are by your side, please remember that there are fans waiting for you. We are not viewers, we will not be by your side. Then good luck haha (Likes 1.3k)

-I’m deeply grateful that you gave me accurate prior information for young MZs. For your information, the word promise means to decide in advance what to do. I’m telling you because you seem to not know~ (Likes 379)

Numerous comments are posted every time a notice of absence is posted.

This has already become a meme and a characteristic of Osorin’s broadcast.

“Among female broadcasters, the only place with more curses than unnie’s broadcast is Jina unnie’s broadcast.”

“I learned by watching that unnie’s broadcast, so what can I do. They’re all doing it because it’s fun~”

Of course, it’s not all sincere, you can think of it as a wwe (a staged match).

Don’t you have that kind of thing where you can swear without hesitation among really close friends, but you don’t take damage?

Somehow, this spread to broadcasters, and reading Osorin’s notice became a content.

“After swearing like this, they’re all like ‘When are you coming’ in the chat before the next broadcast, it’s cute?”

“You can date the viewers later. Turn on the computer. Today’s class will start.”

“Yes, teacher.”

I turn on the computer in the soundproof booth. The booth wasn’t very big, but it was enough for me and Osorin to enter.

If two adult men entered, it would be full.

The editing program is displayed on the screen.

The work that was already being worked on in the program was automatically loaded.

“Oh, you seem to have practiced a lot.”

“I’ve been doing it almost every day after the broadcast. Now I’ve memorized all the shortcuts for tools and functions.”

“Excellent. Memorizing functions is almost the beginning and half of editing.”

On days like today when I sleep over at her house, I was teaching her video editing.

She said she had wanted to try editing for a long time, and she wanted to edit her newly started content herself.

“But are you really going to do that?”

“Yeah, isn’t it okay? It’s content that no one has ever done.”

The content that she had been planning for a long time and wanted to do everything herself.

“That’s true, but a virtual vlog….”

“While thinking about broadcast content, I talked about Pokemon Go, and I thought this was it.

Should I call it AR (augmented reality)? That’s overlaying virtual on the real world, right? I thought it would be novel if I filmed a vlog like that.”

Her eyes sparkled as she said that.

On the other hand, I felt a little uncomfortable.

There is an perception that VTubers should only exist on the Internet.

In fact, many VTubers were secretive about real-life matters and strictly kept their RPs.

And that became almost the standard and the topic to avoid as much as possible.

Even so, after a few years, the boundaries become blurred by linking reality in various ways, such as real-life hand cam broadcasts.

‘But it’s still the very beginning of VTubers, is it okay to start like this?’

Besides, Osorin is a person who can be said to be the first generation of VTubers.

If such a person tries this, this format will become the standard for VTubers in the future.

I heard that from Osorin before and pondered a little, but I concluded that it couldn’t be helped.

Osorin’s broadcast is not a broadcast that strictly adheres to the concept in the first place.

In the past, if it was an early VTuber, it was close to an idol who could communicate in real time.

A feeling of being somewhere far away but close.

However, Osorin’s broadcast is similar to a general broadcaster, a friendly format like an older sister living next door.

That’s why she naturally thought of linking it with reality.

“And then at the end, I show an illustration that is drawn exactly like the picture. It’s like 2.5D? The background is real, but my appearance is drawn exactly like my character.”

“Certainly, if you just look at the picture, it will feel like AR.”

“I’ve already asked Hayeon~”

I can’t tell her, who’s doing this, that it’s too early and to not do it.

In the first place, I may have influenced the rapid spread of VTubers.

I decided to think of it as a natural flow and support her challenge.

“By the way, can I refer to Sua’s videos for the vlog format?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not like the video format is copyrighted.”

To be honest, I don’t know how Dad’s vlogs are made because I don’t look for them.

I heard that the subscribers reached 300,000 in an instant.

I remember that we had a celebration party for that before.

“I bought a camera too. First of all, I have to keep practicing filming from tomorrow. I’m still embarrassed to hold a camera outside…. First, I have to practice turning on the camera in front of my family.”

“Then, are you going to your parents’ house tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I ran out of kimchi, so I have to go replenish it.”

“Hmm…, then can you tell your brother if you meet him? I liked the illustration style he used before.”

“Brother? I don’t know if he’s alive or dead, will he be at home? Anyway, I got it.”

One illustration used in the early days of Osorin’s broadcast.

It was a moderately animatic style that was not uncomfortable for the general public.

Of course, few people know about it now because it is completely unused in the broadcast.

“But don’t you think your brother saw your broadcast? He used his picture, though.”

“Hey, he wouldn’t know? Only Bom’s picture was uploaded on YouTube. And he only likes soccer and games, so he won’t watch internet broadcasts.”

She laughed and waved her hand, saying there was no way he would know.

“Taeshin, your sister is coming tomorrow, so don’t go out in the evening. Let’s have a family dinner after a long time.”

“Sister is coming? What’s going on.”

“She’s probably coming to ruin our family’s livelihood, that girl. If she’s living alone, she should eat alone.”

Oh Taeshin laughed as if he was dumbfounded by his mother’s words.

‘She’s alive?’

Of course, he sometimes saw her sneak into the house like a thief and steal the house’s side dishes and rice.

But this was the first time she had announced that she was coming.

‘But what the hell does my sister do that she sneaks into the house on a weekday lunch?’

I know she’s not unemployed.

So she’s living alone.

But judging by the amount of allowance she gives to her parents, she seemed to be earning a lot.

‘Is she a freelancer?’

I didn’t feel like my sister was particularly good at anything.

Could it be internet broadcasting?

Hey, no way.

There were no popular broadcasters who made my sister’s voice among those who earned that much money.

She’s probably just working with some kind of certification.

“Well, I don’t really care.”

I don’t care much what my sister does.

As long as it’s not illegal.

“Aish, Osorin’s not broadcasting today….”

I went to YouTube to cheer myself up from thinking about things that didn’t matter in the morning, but I saw a notice of absence.

He wrote a comment with a sad heart.

-Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?Weekend off?

She can’t have a boyfriend, can she?
