Chapter 47: Hako Cartel (2)

The first thing I started with was creating a schedule.

If I made a schedule for the week in advance, I could make excuses that I had a set schedule when someone asked me to collaborate.

But creating a schedule was not as easy as I thought.

Because I was dragged into this cartel right after I started broadcasting, I didn’t have the experience of doing proper content on my own.

It had been a little over a month since I started broadcasting, but since it was essentially my first time doing my own broadcast, I racked my brains and put my heart and soul into planning the content.

First, I started with benchmarking.

What content do other people do?

And what content do people like when they do it?

Why do they like that content?

I spent more time studying broadcasting even after turning off the broadcast, and my mind was filled with thoughts about broadcasting even when I was eating or lying down to sleep.

The first thing I referred to in the process was Syoong-nim’s broadcast.

Although she was the person who dragged me into this mire, she was still one of the few people who were achieving results here.

And since it was a broadcast that I knew well, I thought it would help me analyze it even a little.

What I learned from analyzing Syoong-nim’s broadcast was

That she was also struggling to survive in her own way.

I began to see what she was thinking in every corner of the broadcast, and why she was doing what she was doing.

Her dream is in that high place

But she feels herself that she doesn’t have the ability

I could see that she was steeped in unremitting inferiority.

But even so, she couldn’t give up her dream

She was the kind of person who would use and exploit other people’s charms to get to the top.

And that situation was none of my business.

So what if you have that dream?

I, who am being used for your dream, am in a situation where I have no time to dream, and I’m a cornered person who is clutching my household account book, weeping over how I will make a living tomorrow.

Did you consider my situation?

Probably not.

So I have no reason to understand you either.

Don’t understand me, as you’ve always done.

I will do the same, from now on.

I analyzed Syoong-nim’s broadcast and copied the content that I could do in my own way.

That was my first content planning, and it was a success in its own way.

After all, the majority of my viewers at the time were viewers who had come from Syoong-nim’s side, so they would have no choice but to like content similar to Syoong-nim’s content.

Since that was the aim in the first place, I can say that it went as planned.

After that, I referred to several broadcasts.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

It was a failure.

Viewer participation content? How many people would gather if there were viewers?

I learned that I shouldn’t benchmark the content of large-scale streamers, whose units are different from mine.

“Four hundred… seventy-eight!!”

[Lololol Hiro-nim, keep it up!]

[Let’s fill 500 more lolololol]

[I’m not resting! Don’t you know you can’t exercise if you rest!]

“Wait… I’ll rest for a second!”

[No way lolololol]

[You have to do 500 before you can rest lolololol]

It was a success.

A very simple, basic slapstick content that you can overcome with your body.

I realize that even though my body is being ruined right now, success is guaranteed if I can just endure it.

【Lie Detector – I think I’m really cute.】

“Hey, who thinks they’re cute~ If you think that, you’re really not a normal person, eheuheayak?!”

[Loololololololol]

[Loololololol]

[Hiro is not normal lololololol]

[Living point) Hiro thinks she is cute]

“No… no I’m not!!”

It was a success.

Content with unexpectedness and content that can create black history.

I felt that people are crazy about probability and like content that can leave a record with the streamer.

In that way, my broadcast gradually improved.

The number of times I succeeded in creating content that I planned from start to finish myself, rather than copying other people’s content, increased

Little by little, I began to break away from the shadow of the streamer named Syoong-nim.

[What color panties are you wearing today, Hiro?]

“Why would I tell you what color panties I’m wearing!! Are you crazy, really….”

[ㅗㅜㅑ reward] (ㅗㅜㅑ is a korean slang used when someone sees something hot)

[ㅗㅜㅑ]

【Open Panties No Music?】 (오팬무? is a slang used to ask streamer if they are okay with opening panty pic on screen with no music playing to prevent copyright strike)

“…White.”

[Loololololololol]

[ㅗㅜㅑㅗㅜㅑ]

[Money-hungry ON]

[Hiro… Today’s panties are white, memo….]

Instead, the number of mischievous viewers increased

Still, I felt good.

Because these were my viewers, not Syoong-nim’s viewers.

After about 3 months had passed

My broadcast had become a broadcast that always had more than 70 viewers.

I had become someone who was almost unrelated to Syoong-nim’s cartel and was growing on my own.

I received a call from Syoong-nim.

[Hiro-nim~ We’re having a large collaboration broadcast this time, you’re coming, right?]

This had happened before, when I first started posting schedule tables in the notice.

She recommends a collaboration broadcast, and I make excuses that I already have a schedule and it’s difficult.

I judged that collaboration broadcasts were not helpful to me, so I avoided collaboration broadcasts with the excuse of a schedule.

After that happened several times, Syoong-nim no longer recommended me to do collaboration broadcasts.

Because she filled the spot that I had occupied in the collaboration broadcast with another newbie that Syoong-nim had brought in.

It had been 2 months since I received the last recommendation.

It was a recommendation to do a collaboration broadcast after 2 months.

Of course, I had no reason to do a collaboration broadcast

[I’m sorry, I already have a schedule planned and I’ve already made a notice.]

I tried to get away with the same excuse as before.

[Hiro-nim, how can you be like this?]

[Huh?]

Then Syoong-nim, who had never even paid attention to me, started typing in the chat with a serious face.

[Who helped Hiro-nim when you first started broadcasting?]

[Are you ignoring me like this just because your broadcast is doing well now?]

There was something that pricked at me, but since it was letters that were being conveyed, not sounds, I calmly replied to Syoong-nim.

[It’s not that, it’s just that I already have a schedule planned, so I can’t help it.]

[Can’t you take out one schedule for me?]

[I’m sorry… I promised the viewers.]

A prepared answer.

To my words, which were almost a response macro,

Came back the words

[Wow… how can a person be so shameless?]

[I even included you in collaboration broadcasts when you were nobody, and introduced you to the people around me, and you backstab me like this?]

[You’re so disgusting.]

….

Well, I thought that could be thought of that way.

[And I helped you every time you asked about your broadcast settings]

[I really didn’t know you were the kind of person who doesn’t know how to be grateful and only knows how to take.]

?

I wondered what the hell she was talking about.

It was true that I had asked about the settings in the early days of broadcasting.

But Syoong-nim, that person always passed it on to someone else to help and left, she had never helped me herself.

Could it be that she thinks that she helped me when she passed it on to someone else?

[I’m sorry, but Rejin-nim always helped me with the settings, Syoong-nim never helped me?]

[The fact that Rejin helped is the same as me helping, why are you grasping at straws with such things, how can a person be like that?]

It seemed like it was true after all.

[Ah… yes. Anyway, I don’t have time to collaborate, so I don’t think I can participate in the collaboration broadcast.]

[Don’t live your life like that]

[Ah….yes]

And the next day, the story of me and Syoong-nim fighting started coming out in the chat, whether it was spread by them or not.

[Hiro-nim, did you fight with Syoong-nim??]

[What happened….]

[You two will make up, right?]

[If you apologize, Syoong-nim will accept you.]

Even though I had broken away from the shadow of the cartel, I hadn’t replaced all the viewers in the end

In the chat, there were many remarks defending Syoong-nim and saying that I should apologize first.

Because those people had come to see Hiro broadcasting with Syoong-nim.

But I couldn’t take those people with me, so I also made an announcement.

“From now on, I will prohibit mentioning stories related to Syoong-nim.”

[?]

[Did you really fight?]

“Yes, there was something like that. I think it would be better for each other if we didn’t mention each other, so please do that from now on!”

In that way, I and the people in the small-time cartel, including Syoong-nim, completely broke up

And the number of viewers on my broadcast dropped sharply as people who liked their broadcasts more left.

It wasn’t a case where I was just doing well, but I had no regrets.

Because I thought this was the way for me to survive.

I thought that way and forgot about it…

To see it again like this.

I turned on my phone and made a call to someone.

【Hello?】

【Rejin-nim~ Long time no see!】
