“All right then!”

The filming we started from the morning has finally wrapped up.

Of course, it wasn’t the entire drama filming done already; it was actually a fashion magazine shoot.

Park Kang-seok hinted that this was a really good place, so we came to shoot.

“Wow, you’re really good at taking pictures.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, your physique looks great too…”

Nodding in satisfaction as I received compliments from the photographer, I thought, well, it’s great if the photos turned out well.

“Where should I return the clothes?”

Having finished the shoot, I pointed to the outfit I’d been wearing.

I liked it enough that I was even thinking about buying something similar, but…

“Oh, you can just keep that outfit. We’re giving it to the model.”

“Really?”

It was quite an expensive-looking… No, it was actually an expensive outfit, and they casually tell me I can just take it home.

A bit surprised, I asked, and the staff nodded in agreement.

“Yes, but it would be nice if you could wear it once when you post on any SNS.”

Ah, I see; it’s like a bribe.

Then I’d better take a picture in that outfit later for my Instagram.

It’s not that I’m particularly greedy for clothes, but free, nice, and expensive clothes? Can’t say no to that.

Wait, isn’t it technically not free?

Thinking about it, I’m being paid and getting clothes too.

What kind of creative economy is this?

I came out of the filming location, wondering if that’s why celebrities don’t need to worry too much.

“Is the filming finished?”

“Yes, it should be it for today, right?”

“That’s right.”

“We have some free time then. Let’s go grab some dinner.”

The nice thing about finishing the drama filming is the distinct time freedom that comes afterwards.

I still have regular lessons to attend, but certainly, it’s nothing compared to when I was filming.

Of course, once I start the serious concert preparatory practices and recording, I’ll get busy again.

“Got it.”

“Do you know any good restaurants around here?”

“Yes, around here…”

Deciding to enjoy this moment of leisure for now, I went to a nearby restaurant with Park Kang-seok, had dinner, and then returned home.

Even though I finished work and had dinner, it was still early afternoon, and my heart felt relaxed.

Yeah, this is life.

Before changing clothes, I made sure to take a quick Instagram photo and then lay down on the bed.

Selecting from the photos I had just taken, I posted one on Instagram, noticing my follower count had been explosively increasing lately.

Then I put my phone down and closed my eyes.

If someone were to see me now, they’d probably think I just came home and immediately fell asleep—but I wasn’t sleeping.

I briefly thought about the concert that is currently in preparation.

The concert, expected as early as next year, seems like it’s going to be delayed a bit.

The filming took longer than I expected, and since we are putting on a concert, I decided to practice a bit more.

By around the end of the year, I think we’ll have a clearer outline and a ticket release schedule.

Moreover, by then, the drama featuring Sera will be airing.

I can only imagine the viewers will be in an uproar.

Especially since it’s time for the variety show trailer to come out.

I should really ask Park Kang-seok when the trailer is coming out.

But for now, let me just close my eyes and relax a bit.

**

I opened my eyes.

The first thing I see is the dim window.

…Did I doze off just now?

Grateful to have changed clothes before sleeping, I got up from the bed.

I feel completely refreshed…

It’s been a while since I had such a long nap, and as I stretched, I checked the time.

It’s still dinner time.

Should I do a broadcast?

I don’t have any specific plans, after all.

I lightly washed my face and headed into the soundproof booth.

How many consecutive days of broadcasting is it if I turn this on today…?

I think it’s definitely been over a week.

Truly, there’s none like me, a diligent broadcasting personality in this world.

I turned on my computer and waited a moment for the screen to flicker to life.

As I stared at the fan art wallpaper for a second, I deftly operated the windows and started my broadcast.

-???

-You came early today!

-Oh Miro!

-Back again, I see.

Seeing the usual rush of chat messages pouring in as soon as I started the broadcast, I greeted everyone.

“Ah, can you hear me?”

-eeee

-Yes, we can hear you!

-Hello, hello!

“What are we doing today??”

“You’re already asking what we’re doing? I don’t have any specific plans.”

Oh, I do have a game in mind, though.

But instead of jumping right into the game, I thought it’d be nice to start off lightly with some talk first.

“So what did everyone do today?”

-I hung out.

-Guarding the house.

-I’m at work right now.

With the question of what they’re up to, various answers come pouring in.

Looking at this, I suddenly realized just how many viewers I have.

Each nickname is just a line to me, but they’re all real people.

“Anyone here who’s a student with the exam right around the corner?”

Funny how just a few days ago, there were students among us, but it seems they’ve all disappeared now.

I suppose they’ve really entered the last-minute cram mode before the exam.

-They all seem to have gone to study.

-What’s the use if you get a grade 1? LOL Missed Miro’s live.

Well, even if someone wanted to watch the broadcast, I doubt they’d stumble in here right as it starts.

“It seems like nobody is here, but we’re all rooting for you.”

-Thank you! LOL (I’m jobless)

-Thanks for the support~ I’m a high school graduate, guarding the house now~

-Miro, I’m listening to you! I got my allowance today!

“Aigo… For those who shouldn’t be watching this right now, you all can leave early.”

I jokingly displayed their messages on the broadcast screen, and as I right-clicked a username, the chat surged rapidly.

-NO NO NO NO NO

-Save me!

-Seriously jobless, what should I do?

-LOL.. Kick me out already!

-I’m not jobless!

-Sorry…!

-Do we kick out the jobless??

-Why is being jobless a crime?

The reactions were quite lively.

Well, it makes sense since the broadcast just started; it would be a shame to be kicked out now.

“I’ll let it slide this time. But today’s game is…”

Just when I was about to share what game I was going to play, a donation sound chimed.

[Thank you for your donation, 1,000 won!]

I’m also a jobless high school graduate preparing for the exam, please don’t criticize me!

-LOL!

-An honest statement!? ROFL!

-I also scored a 4 on my exam!

Can you believe this? Just a few days ago, a bunch of students were around, and now they’ve completely disappeared!

It’s as if they’re disappearing one by one.

“Looks like we’re all cheering each other on. I’ll let you all go for today!”

Just as I decided to close the window since I had no other plans, the chat became wildly active.

-OK OK…

-Thanks for letting me off!

-She’s now using doing math as a threat! LOL!

“Whoa, what’s going on? You have complaints?”

-Of course not!

-No way…!

-I didn’t make any mistakes, my lady! T_T

“That’s enough now. I’m really going to show you a game.”

After reaching a suitable agreement with the viewers, I opened up a game.

“Do you know this one?”

I had been watching other members’ broadcasts occasionally these past few days, and they seemed to be always playing this.

-Oh LOL!

-Of course I know!

-You really gonna play this?

-Wow, didn’t expect that.

I can understand their surprise.

I don’t usually hop onto trends just because everyone else does.

“I used to enjoy this game a lot back in the day, and a fan-made version just came out.”

The game I launched is a fan-made game of a currently trending famous title, combining elements from all previous series while retaining the battles as a roguelike format.

The quality is great, and it’s exciting, so I brought it today.

-That’s really fun!

-I played it for ten hours straight yesterday! LOL!

-Seo Eun-ha plays it all the time.

“Oh really? Eun-ha Junior mentioned she plays it a lot.”

I recall that Seo Eun-ha, who has a tendency to stick to just one game, had been playing it all day, leveling up much crazily.

I don’t plan to overdo it like that.

“I think I can finish it pretty quickly, though?”

It’s said to be challenging, but honestly, it looks easy to me.

-That’s not easy! LOL!

-At least not within today! LOL!

“Come on, I’m good at this.”

Who am I?

I’m the legendary trainer that could even make the red-haired guy at the Silver Mountain tremble.

I noted that the game ends at level 200, so I didn’t think it would take too long.

In the game’s beginning, a window appeared where I could select my starter Pokémon from all past series.

All the starters from every generation were there.

However, I honestly don’t even recognize most of the ones from the later generations.

-Going fundamentally with the 1st generation starters?

-Oh, how many generations are there?

-I’ve heard the poison type is super OP.

It seems that most of the viewers are in the same boat as me.

I also picked a few Pokemon that were familiar to me.

To be honest, it looked fun so I was slightly excited to click the start button, but…

-No way.

-What the heck!

-Whoa!

-Explain yourself!

Suddenly, the chat started moving rapidly.

Did I pick something wrong? What’s happening?

I couldn’t read it properly since it was so fast, but I sensed it wasn’t good.

To figure out what was happening, I clicked the scroll bar on the chat with my mouse to pause it momentarily.

-When’s the variety show coming out???

-I came after seeing the teaser!

-I mean, when’s the filming? LOL!

Reading the chats that immediately came into view, I finally realized what the situation was.

“Oh.”

The trailer was coming out today, huh?

…Thankfully, it wasn’t some bizarre controversy.

I naturally limited the chat and clicked the start button for the game.

“Let’s get started.”

With that, I dove into the game with a raging audience of five-digit viewers, unexpectedly causing a stir.
