Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 81: I Didn’t Know I Would Find This Person

First, I didn’t get angry right away.

I needed to hear the situation first.

Getting angry for no reason wouldn’t make things better.

“...What exactly happened? Explain slowly.”

If she provided a reasonable explanation, I was willing to let it go.

So I asked calmly—

“U-uh... I was trying to watch YouTube and cook by myself.”

Yeeram started to briefly explain why the house ended up in this state.

At first, she tried to follow a recipe she found on YouTube, but as she gained confidence, she decided to try cooking something more difficult, and that’s when things went wrong.

“Why make something difficult? You’re not even good at cooking. And how does the house end up like this just because you messed up cooking?”

This was the part I was most curious about.

Messing up the food was one thing, but how the house turned into this was a whole different issue.

It seemed like Yeeram was deliberately avoiding answering this part, so I asked again—

“Uh... I grabbed the pot, and maybe because I simmered it for too long, the pot got too hot and tipped over...”

Yeeram seemed to realize it was her fault, her voice growing quieter.

If I were Yeeram, I probably would’ve reacted the same way.

‘She really made the house like this.’

There wasn’t a single part of the house that wasn’t messed up.

The whole place was covered in sauce, or maybe scattered is a better way to put it.

But now that I knew the full story, I was okay.

I just needed to warn her for next time.

With that in mind, I opened my mouth—

“I’ll clean up, so just take care of where you’re going to sleep. You need to go to school.”

“...Sorry...”

“If you’re sorry, don’t do this again. If you’re going to do something, do it properly.”

“...Okay.”

I didn’t really want to scold her for this.

She didn’t do something bad on purpose, after all.

“Then clean up quickly and go to sleep. I’ve got a lot to do.”

“Okay.”

I was planning to clean up anyway while connecting the main unit to the monitor, so it seemed like a good opportunity to do both at once.

Sigh.

It’s going to be tough.

But what else could I do?

I had to clean.

But before that—

Click—!

I carefully took a picture of the mess Yeeram made.

I thought it would be fun to post it in the gallery.

[Content: (photo) I come home, and my only sibling has turned the house into this. What do I do...?]

Since the people who knew about me wouldn’t mind something like this, I posted the image.

After that, I looked around to see what needed to be done.

“Hmm...”

There was food everywhere.

How was I supposed to clean all this up?

Since the food had even gotten on the blankets, it was going to be troublesome to clean it at home.

“Yeeram, let’s take that blanket and go out together.”

At this point, it seemed best to wash all the blankets.

I’d also clean up the traces on the walls while I was at it.

“Ah, okay.”

Yeeram must have needed a clean blanket to sleep on too, so it was better to get it done quickly.

With that thought in mind, I grabbed the blankets and headed toward the 24-hour laundromat nearby.

At the laundromat, I immediately threw the blankets in and started the wash.

I never imagined I’d be washing blankets this late at night.

I was annoyed but sat down in a chair.

“I’m tired.”

I was exhausted.

If I had my way, I would’ve gone to sleep, but there was just too much to do.

Washing the blankets wasn’t the end of it either. After this, I had to go home, clean up the leftover food, and connect the main unit and computer.

“Go back and don’t mess around. Go to sleep immediately. I’ve got too much to do, and if you stay up too, it’ll get chaotic.”

“Why don’t you trust me when I say I’ll sleep?”

“You’ve given me plenty of reasons not to trust you.”

“...I guess that’s true.”

While waiting for the washing machine, I checked the post I’d uploaded earlier.

[Content: (photo) I come home, and my only sibling has turned the house into this. What do I do...?]

L: Looks like it’s just wrecked.

ㄴ: For real, how do you even fix a house like that?

L: If it were me, I’d just abandon the house and rebuild.

ㄴ: Are you really playing Minecraft?

ㄴㅅㅂ: What’s with the Minecraft talk?

ㄴ: If your house gets wrecked, the rule is to just abandon it and rebuild.

L: All-knowing Cthulhu: What’s going on? Haha

ㄴ: All-knowing Cthulhu: Is this okay?

L: Kang Hoo-min: Heart’s been shattered~

ㄴ: Kang Pyeong: Haha

ㄴ: Damn, Kang Pyeong is savage!

ㄴ: Oh, so the mischievous frog is here.

“Still, they’re worrying about me.”

I expected them not to care, but they actually were concerned.

I was thankful for that and turned on YouTube.

Since it would take some time to wash the blanket, I figured I could watch some videos while I waited.

“Wait, when did the subscribers grow this much?”

Last time I checked, I had barely over ten thousand, but now, my subscribers were nearing 20,000.

This kind of growth was unbelievable.

I thought it was amazing and lightly tapped Yeeram.

“Hmm, what?”

“Check out my fan channel’s subscriber count. This isn’t normal.”

I showed her the subscriber count for the ‘Haehuh’ channel, making a bit of a fuss.

[Subscriber count: 17,921]

“Whoa, what’s this? Why are there so many subscribers?”

Yeeram reacted just as expected.

It was surprising for her to see her brother, who she thought was casually streaming, having this many subscribers.

“Then how much do you make from this? With that many subscribers and views, it should be a lot, right?”

Suddenly, Yeeram asked about the revenue.

I proudly answered her question.

“It’s a fan channel. Why would I take the revenue? And I even gave permission for it to be monetized.”

“Wait, really? If you just asked for half, they would’ve gladly given it to you, right?”

“Pfft, how much can a fan channel’s revenue even be? Am I really going to steal that?”

“Oppa, this makes more money than you think. You’ll be surprised how much it actually brings in.”

I became a bit curious after hearing Yeeram’s words.

Just how much did it make?

But I couldn’t just ask about it in the comments on YouTube.

“That would be kind of lame, right?”

It didn’t seem very cool to do.

To be blunt, it felt a bit awkward.

“...Maybe I should ask next time during the broadcast. I’ll ask subtly, that’s fine, right?”

“...Isn’t that even lamer, Oppa?”

Maybe it was.

I thought about it as I waited for the washing machine to finish.

After the washing was done, I went home and cleaned up all the food traces on the wall.

I used a ton of wet wipes cleaning everything.

Now, the only thing left was connecting the main unit and the monitor.

“Ugh... what a hassle.”

I wanted to do it tomorrow, but if I kept putting it off, I’d never get it done, so I forced myself to push the desire to sleep aside and started connecting the monitor and the main unit.

“This goes here... Ah, this is so complicated.”

It wasn’t as easy as I thought. I thought it would be simple since I wasn’t assembling the computer itself, but with the house being a bit cramped, it was surprisingly hard to place everything without getting in the way.

I kept fiddling with things for a while.

“Huff.”

Finally, I connected the monitor and the main unit.

Now, it wouldn’t be in the way if I passed by.

It was time to check the performance.

I carefully turned the computer on.

Vroom!

The startup sound of the computer was quite loud, and I was a bit startled. I checked everything installed on the computer.

“Looks clean.”

They told me everything had been removed from the computer, and it looked like they did it well.

I didn’t need to erase everything individually, so I just installed the programs I needed for broadcasting.

But there was one problem.

‘...I need help with this.’

I didn’t realize it when I was using just one computer, but now that I had two, I had to set things up again.

Of course, I didn’t know how to do it.

“Hmm...”

I figured I’d have to turn on the stream and ask.

So I started the broadcast, planning to quickly ask about the settings and then end it.

[The broadcast has started!]

As soon as the broadcast started, viewers began joining.

Normally, I would’ve waited for enough viewers to come in, but since I was only going to ask a quick question and finish, it didn’t matter.

“The broadcast right now...”

I searched for Mangming and Harin’s broadcasts, but neither of them were streaming.

They were probably taking a break.

Sarok wasn’t streaming either.

Then, I remembered someone.

“Hm...”

But I didn’t have the courage to approach and ask them first.

We weren’t that close.

I thought about it for a while.

‘I’ll ask them.’

It’s not like anything weird will happen, right? With that thought, I typed “Kang Hoo-min” in the search bar on Twich.

He was the only person left in my shallow circle.

I hoped he was streaming, and when I pressed enter—

[Kang Hoo-min | Today, on the subject of makeup]

I found Kang Hoo-min’s stream.
