Chapter 49 – Mesgaki and Controversy
[Song Ha-yoon: Because…]
Because…!
The moment I wondered why he was trying to help me, he told me that he would tell me, so I was looking forward to it, in case there was some grandiose reason.
[Song Ha-yoon: That… I’m going to pick up some straws.]
“Straw?”
No, do you mean that big corporations use straws to say that there is something to suck on for a hako like me? Even now, there is a controversy, and it is a situation where you can lose the public sentiment of viewers at once.
On the contrary, when I was told that I would put a straw in, I couldn’t trust it at all.
[Shin Jae-joon: No, what do you have to say to me?
[Song Ha-yoon: Possibility.]
Possibility?
Are there any chances for me? He wants to help me because he sees potential in me.
In fact, it’s just an impersonation, and is it a rice cake for human trafficking?
[Song Ha-yoon: I think it’s more beneficial to stick with Meki than Berin.]
[Jaejun Shin: Why?]
[Song Ha-yoon: Of course. Berin is a person who stagnates as he pleases, so even if I try to put a straw in, there will only be a backlash, and Meki-sama, if I put a straw in from now on, there will be more to draw and eat in the future.]
[Song Ha-yoon: And the current public opinion is Meki-nim’s public opinion is more dominant than Berin-nim’s. This case is also a case of Berin alone, so the backlash from viewers is strong.]
Repulsion? Possibility? Because of Song Ha-yoon, who seems to be speaking professionally, I think I start to trust Song Ha-yoon without even realizing it.
I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not, but maybe if she helps her, I can climb higher and take advantage of this case.
So how is she going to profit from this case?
[Shin Jae-jun: Then, how will Ha-yoon-nim take care of her interests?]
She waited patiently for Ha-yun to receive her message, holding Nero still on her desk.
“Oong.”
“Yoshiyoshi~.”
[Song Ha-yoon: Yes, I may not be able to take advantage easily, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get it at all.]
[Song Ha-yoon: Why don’t we do the same as we talked about last time? If you invite a controversial streamer and proceed with the merger, viewers will be aggro, and Meki-nim can also take my viewers there, so isn’t it mutually beneficial?]
Certainly, when we only listened to Song Ha-yoon, it was a fantastic condition for all of us to take profits. Then… If the two of us make a profit, there will be someone who loses.
Berin.
The person who insulted me in the first place and the streamer who created this controversy.
I knew about it from the time Song Ha-yoon proposed to me. The fact that I have to step on that person as a stepping stone in order to grow.
I didn’t really want to do it. I didn’t want to go up even if I had to drag others down.
Then what? If I stay still like this, the ignorant shields might attack me.
Inevitably, I had to sort out my position in the end, and I had to trample on a man named Berin.
[Shin Jae-jun: Then, what should I do now?]
[Song Ha-yoon: Just sleep today. Tomorrow morning, watch Lekka’s YouTube on Me Tube.]
I plugged my phone into the charger and felt empty, so I just lay down on the blanket.
“Haa… It’s Nero.”
“Aww.”
“Hug me.”
Nero took me into my arms without saying a word.
Something felt strange from before. I didn’t commit any crime, but my heart was heavy, and I felt like I had done something wrong.
I didn’t feel comfortable with the first controversy and the thought that others might go to hell because of that controversy.
Holding the warm Nero made me feel a little better. It was a gloomy mood, but thanks to Nero’s soft fur, it felt a little better.
“Ahhh…”
“Do you want to eat Nero churro?”
“Nyan~!”
When I opened the churro and put it in Nero’s mouth, he started licking the churro while flicking his tongue.
With one hand, I gave her a chure, and with the other hand, I gently brushed it from my head to the tip of my waist with a cat comb.
“Aww… Do you have a lot of hair?”
“Aww.”
I heard that there is a lot of cat hair, but when I saw the black hair on the comb, I thought it was hairy itself beyond many levels.
“Then, let’s do this like this…! Voila! You are Cowboy Nero from today.”
The cat’s fur was gathered together, and after a while, it was made in the shape of a hat.
Cat fur hat… Who wouldn’t buy this if it was actually on sale?
After putting a fur hat on Nero, he fell asleep.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, my first thought was that there were a lot of KakaoTalk messages and messages because of what happened.
[5 text messages from Park Jae-yeon.]
[Three text messages from Eunje Yang.]
[4 from Song Ha-yoon.]
12 barrels in total. That means there are 12 text messages I have to look at in the morning. Even before the broadcast, there were only messages from the store manager asking when he would come to work and messages mixed with flirtation from women who work part-time together.
It’s been a while since I’ve received this much.
“Ahhh…”
“Ah, that’s right, should I feed you first?”
It must have been because Nero was hungry when he licked my leg while clinging to it.
After pouring the feed I bought the other day into Nero’s rice bowl, I lay down on the futon again and checked with each other one by one to see what the day was like.
[Park Jae-yeon]
Are you really okay?
I feel a bit bad today, but I’m okay, right?
That.. If it’s hard, can I buy you a meal?
When I wake up later, I’ll answer.
(The dumplings are sleeping.)
‘Hmm, Jaeyeon noona, you must have been worried about the controversy yesterday? It’s me, I don’t care about anything, so it’s fine, but…’
[Jaejun Shin: I’m fine. Well, think about where to go on a date later.]
It was about 20 seconds after the reply was sent.
[Park Jae-yeon: I’ll find a really good place, just come.]
[Jaejun Shin: Thank you.]
The KakaoTalk next to Park Jae-yeon was Yang Eun-jae.
[Yang Eun-je]
Sacho, can we not make an explanation video?
Seeing the Berin viewers, it looks like they’re trying to kill you… Are you okay?
I’d like to see some of the cubs.
[Shin Jae-jun: Yes, I’m fine, so let’s go on a date later.]
Yang Eun-jae must have been sleeping, so 1 did not disappear in KakaoTalk.
Maybe I was watching the broadcast until yesterday evening, or maybe I slept late because I was looking around the community?
Next was Song Ha-yoon, who said he would help me.
[Song Ha-yoon]
Good luck Mackie.
Right now, public opinion is almost on Meki’s side.
The Rekkas are claiming that Berin, a large company, is harassing the newcomer Mekki.
Please contact me later before today’s broadcast.
[Jaejun Shin: Thank you.]
She sent a thank you note, but as expected Song Ha-yoon did not check her cell phone, so the letter did not disappear.
“As expected, the job itself as a streamer is strange to live a normal life.”
“Aww!”
It’s me, I want to sleep more, but Nero walks up to me and wakes me up saying he’s hungry.
Rice, oyster sauce, and bean sprouts because I wanted to make a simple meal.
Stir-fried all of these together to make fried rice.
“Kuhmm… Ah, uhm…”
‘It’s quite fine.’
I wondered how long I would have to eat like this, so I looked at my bank account balance on the bank app for the first time in a while.
“Hmm?! Hey, is this my bank account?”
This month’s rent was more than I thought, whether it’s because Choi Jae-hee gave it away, or because the income from broadcasting increased.
3,000,000 Won… In my bank account, there was an enormous amount of 3,000,000 Won, which is three times that number beyond 100.
“Hehe, with this money, I could order chicken tonight…”
Chicken, pizza, pork feet, cold noodles, steamed chicken.
Just thinking about it made me so happy to think of food that made my mouth water.
‘I have to eat something delicious for dinner tonight… Wait, wouldn’t it be possible with this money?’
Suddenly, a good idea popped into my happy mind. Before coming here, Shin Jae-joon was called a huge amount of money with an initial fund of 5 million won.
How? With coins and stocks.
If you make good use of this 3 million won, you may be able to get enough money to move to another place other than this creepy villa, even if it is not the same as before.
“I, Shin Jae-joon… A man who earned more than 100 million before the age of 25. I will rebuild that myth!”
No matter how much I made money in the past… I didn’t realize that I was smarter than I am now, and the amount of information was different.
***
[Broadcast has started.]
Prevention: I want to die.
-[Livestock Yellowy]: Hmm? What’s going on?
-[Ujicha]: Are you okay Lehu?
-[Turbo]: Is it because of yesterday’s controversy?
“Hey…! Uh huh… Uh huh…”
Reflected on the broadcast screen, he was shedding tears with a green bottle and a reddened face on the desk.
It was so sad that even those who saw it from a distance could feel the resentment, like a person who had lost their country.
