22 – Trouble
I was on the bus heading home after work at the convenience store.
The cell phone rang loudly.
There is no nuisance like this.
I quickly turned down the volume on my phone.
Tiring Tiring Tiring
If you write characters in cascades,
The alarm rang loudly like this.
I don’t think it’s Ara. Who is it?
I took out my cell phone and checked the recipient.
He was registered as Ara Manager.
Now that I think about it, I contacted the manager in case I couldn’t contact Ara.
We exchanged phone numbers, but has something already happened?
I opened the text message box with a nervous mind.
“Link..?”
The text message sent by the manager included only a link and words like ‘Awesome!’ And ‘Take a look!’
Well, all I could say was this exclamation.
Come to think of it, I heard you said that the video taken yesterday would be uploaded as early as this afternoon.
It appears that it was uploaded after editing was completed.
It looks like a QTube address, so it must be that video.
“But why are you making such a fuss?”
I laughed and took out my earphones and stuck them in my ears.
Connected to mobile phone.
When I clicked on the link, I was taken directly to QTube and the video played.
From my cooking to Manager Ara’s admiration and reaction while eating.
Everything was included.
Producers were called in from time to time to eat and go, and it seems like the editing was done quite well.
Because it was fun for me to see, having experienced it myself.
There was no strange editing involved, and it was just as it was taken.
I think it’s more fun.
No needless fuss.
Sseu-eup.
But it’s a bit strange.
Have I been too tired these days?
Several strange numbers came into my eyes that couldn’t possibly exist.
It’s to the point where I wonder if I have double vision in my eyes and the images overlap.
First of all, the number of subscribers on AraTube.
It was definitely in the 7 million range yesterday, but now it’s heading towards 8 million.
Ah, but this is a world star so you can understand.
In addition to her music activities, Ara also appears in entertainment shows, dramas, and movies.
Because she has fans in many ways.
Even if the number of people increases by one million per day,
I see~ You can skip it.
But, I don’t understand this.
It must have been uploaded not long ago.
The mark of the #1 most popular video is attached.
The number of views was exceeding 6 million.
In addition, the more you refresh, the more it keeps changing in units of 10,000.
No matter how I looked at this, it was a situation that went beyond my QTube common sense.
Most of the videos that accumulate this number of views in a short period of time are foreign topics.
When a major accident occurs or something like that.
And, if I’m not mistaken,
People glancing at you on the bus
I feel like I am comparing something while looking at my cell phone.
Could it be that this is the video they are watching?
Did anyone notice that the character named Ara’s husband who appeared there was me?
From Noble mtl dot com
Or is it just like normal, looking to get a number?
Because the latter possibility was also very strong.
My head hurts.
I got scared of seeing the comments, so I logged on to the community I always used to do.
What I see is that only posts that have received more than a certain number of recommendations during the day are collected.
This is a bulletin board called Today’s Best.
But the humorous writings there were all over the place and disappeared.
It was plastered with content from Ssakda AraTube.
[Song A-ra’s husband’s face revealed… He’s a handsome dog]
[I’m retelling the story of Song A-ra’s husband and her high school classmates hahahaha]
[Comparison of the sizes of the Tomahawk steak eaten by Song Ara.Jpg]
[Revealing the story of Song A-ra’s husband getting dumped while trying to get her number not long ago]
If I weren’t Song A-ra’s husband, these were posts that I would have laughed out loud while reading.
And for some reason, the content related to Ara
Content related to me took up half of the content.
I only appeared on Ara Channel…?
I arrived home and was preparing dinner.
Ara arrived quickly and ran into the kitchen making a loud noise.
“Seonghwan! Have you seen the QTube video?”
“I saw it.”
I smiled bitterly while looking at Ara.
It seems like things are going well from the first video.
He seems to be in a good mood.
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t help but smile even more bitterly.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of Q-Tube.”
“Is it fun?”
“Yes, I feel good because the fans are having fun.”
Hmm.
Definitely being able to show someone what I cooked is
It was quite fun.
Do you think this will spread and spread and even people from overseas will see it?
It felt exhilarating.
As if Arado was just as good, I sat down at the table and watched the video.
It was played again and again and again.
…I just keep repeating the scene of eating steak.
It looks like you’re very hungry.
“What would you think if I told you that I was creating a QTube channel?”
“Huh?! Really?! Are you going to make it?!”
Ara kicked off her table and stood up.
Then he came up to me and hugged me.
So much so that her face could touch it at any moment.
“Ho…Is there something like a cooking channel…?”
“Well, that’s the only thing I’m good at.”
She nodded and stirred the contents of the pot with a ladle.
The only thing I have a certification for is cooking Korean food.
Japanese, Chinese, and Western food can be prepared in any order.
Of course, you have to study detailed things like French, but
Cooking is something I am very confident in.
“What do you think? I have no intention of going to the extent of overcoming my sister’s opposition.”
“What are you talking about? Do you think it’s a good idea? Seonghwan will do really well if he has a QTube channel!”
“Hmm? How are you sure?”
I chuckled as I looked at Ara’s face as she said her words as if it were obvious.
I poured a little bit of broth on the plate and tasted the seasoning.
Ara thrust her cell phone at me.
These were comments on the video she was watching just a moment ago.
The comment window is full of comments in English, Latin, and Japanese rather than in Korean.
She was constantly going down.
If you refresh to go to the next window,
It does not go down because a new comment has been created, but rather it repeats itself.
This was a comment window where ridiculous things were happening.
“This comment and that comment are Seonghwan clamoring for a link to your channel?”
“Wow…That’s a little creepy.”
I took Ara’s cell phone and read it using the automatic translation function.
Surprisingly, there were many foreigners asking questions related to me.
If I open a cooking channel and these foreigners come into my cooking channel, it is a guaranteed box office hit.
It is certain that it will spread mainly through overseas communities such as 8chan or Loedit.
Wouldn’t it be possible to just get 1 million subscribers?
“Also, Seonghwan, if you do QTube, the CEO will help you as an editor and provide various conveniences!”
“We’ve already gotten to that point… Come to think of it, there were QTube creators at my sister’s agency.”
From what he says, it seems like the CEO is thinking the same thing as Ara.
Ara’s agency is one of the top three agencies in her industry, so it is expanding its business in the form of an octopus.
I know that the MCN business started a few years ago, and with abundant support,
I know that the growth speed of the affiliated QTubers is also very fast.
What if you join Ara’s agency?
I wish it was good, there is nothing I dislike.
I had some fun with this shoot.
“Hmm…”
Ara’s eyes are sparkling.
Still, it would be a good idea to think about it a little more.
No matter how many college students use QTube,
It’s not something you can think about easily.
If you start something, you have to be responsible until the end.
I am a web novel and a webtoon, and I am a writer who stops serialization without notice.
Didn’t you hate it?
“I’ll think about it a little more.”
“Okay, if you want to ask anything, just ask.”
Then Ara lightly stroked my head.
Anyway, I thought you would be against it.
I didn’t know I would be making recommendations.
Well… Her face has already appeared.
Ara, when you marry me, it will already be like this.
Wouldn’t you have known to some extent?
This includes me from this world.
Isn’t it right to enjoy what has come to this?
I thought deeply while stirring the contents of the pot with a ladle.
***
Ara went to the gym to work out, and she was supposed to meet Junghwan and Minho, so she came to the cafe.
The two people were considerate of me and came to the cafe on the first floor of my apartment.
I guess this is why they say to make good friends.
“The water has already been spilled? What are you worried about?”
“You said it was fun? Isn’t it a calling? I think I could quit the convenience store.”
The two people who spit out facts full of facts
I’m drinking cold coffee.
Now that I think about it, if you run QTube, it will be difficult to run a convenience store at the same time.
“Ugh…”
“Now that I think about it, there are fewer male cooking YouTubers than you think, right?”
“That’s right, they say a cook must be physically strong.”
The two people looked at me here and there.
I’m probably far from what they think of as a chef.
Because my body is weak and I don’t have the macho style.
Just as most high-level chefs in the other world were men,
In this world, most top chefs are women.
What I learned while studying is that in the case of fine dining,
It is said that 2/3 of a day’s work is preparing ingredients and preparing the ingredients.
They say that the amount of stamina consumed here is no joke.
If you think about it simply,
Start with cutting potatoes, carrots, and onions, then cut beef, pork, chicken, and fish.
Isn’t something like stew a food that requires standing in front of a fire for a long time?
It essentially requires high physical strength.
Compared to strong women, men with weak bodies inevitably lose out in quality.
As a result, it has become difficult to view it on QTube.
“But Seonghwan’s steak didn’t look difficult, did it?”
“Everyone can learn how to bake, but making things like sauces and mashed potatoes will be so difficult that you’ll die?”
I sighed and listed the pains of cooking one by one.
Viewers who only watch the edited video may be thinking simply.
Because it doesn’t show the content before it was created.
Anyone can grill meat if they know the basics.
Everyone, regardless of gender or age.
After sous vide or searing, put it in the oven and measure the temperature with a core thermometer.
If you wait until the desired baking temperature is reached, it will be completed.
Rather, things like demi-glace, chateaubriand, and béchamel sauce for dipping steak.
It takes longer, takes a lot of time, and is several times more difficult.
And you make your own mesh potatoes to go with it?
Boil the potatoes and mash them, then strain them and mix them with butter and whipped cream and grind them finely.
Once again, the mashed potatoes are made by filtering them neatly and stirring them in front of the fire all day to prevent them from burning.
For this, it would be easier to knead buckwheat soba noodles.
“As expected, physical strength…”
What I lack.
It is physical strength.
Even though it is said that the body is inevitably weak,
Reality is cruel.
“Then why don’t you learn to exercise? Jesu, I heard you went to the gym today too?”
“Umm… Sister Ara is very worried, so I will never take her with her.”
Ara knows very well that she collapses when her physical strength reaches its limit.
What would happen if I collapsed on the exercise equipment?
100% Turns into a major accident.
Maybe that’s why Ara didn’t take me to the gym or hit me.
This part is also overprotective.
“Or, get up in the morning and go for a run.”
“Similarly, if you fall, you’ll be in big trouble…”
“Aren’t you being overprotective like a father?”
Minho said he was jealous and took in her nose to drink.
Is it because she is the husband of her idol?
Am I jealous that Ara is overprotective of me?
“You really met a good wife. Where in the world is there a wife like that?”
“Well… It’s something I can’t help but admit.”
“I make good money, I only look after one man, I don’t drink or smoke and I have a good personality.”
Minho spoke, and Jeonghwan continued.
In my opinion, he is the best husband.
It seems like she is the best bride for them.
“Ah, I also want to meet a wonderful woman and get married.”
“Change your drinking habit. What kind of woman would want to take you away?”
“This bastard… Is a great and brilliant intellect.”
Minho chuckled and drank the ice he had already finished drinking.
I ate it with a crunching sound.
Jeonghwan looked at her and slapped her hand on his forehead.
I sighed.
“You say you don’t like women with such a feminine appearance?”
“What do you say? Then what does being manly mean?”
“Sigh… I guess it’s too early for you to get married since you only know that when I tell you that.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Quiet, dude, you can talk nonsense.”
“It’s like chasing sparrows that have already sown a lot of seeds in the field.”
Just because I’m a man doesn’t mean I don’t chew ice.
Putting a lot in your mouth and chewing it
Definitely, the kind of men women like are different.
Women like men who are a bit shy and quiet.
Like these two people, the type of man who is close to a woman is
It was enough to be called a handsome guy, but not a type.
Enough to make most women tilt their heads?
It is comfortable to think that boyish women are on the same path in the other world.
Rather, I have no muscles and look like me, something that would stimulate maternal love.
They say it is very popular.
A while ago, while wandering around the community, I came across a post with an image of a soft male character.
I saw dozens of comments saying ‘Papang’.
I guess that’s the taste of women here.
Inversely proportional to that, the women who are popular with men here are
Women who look slim on the outside, but are reliable and dependable, are popular.
Still, it’s not a world where rugged women are popular.
I feel really fortunate.
If only people like that appeared on TV, it would have been terrible.
Minho chewed all the ice in the cup and ate it.
I put the glass cup down on the table.
“I finished my coffee, should I move on?”
“Hey, but are you really going to drink it? Can’t you just drink a little bit?”
“If you’re going to drink, drink only you.”
“I’m not going to eat it either?”
“Then just eat Minho.”
“Then there’s no point in eating it….”
I smiled bitterly as I watched Minho continue to drink until the end.
Today, the guys decided to eat dinner together.
I told Ara in advance.
For your information, alcohol was prohibited.
“Don’t even think about ordering a drink. Otherwise, you’ll just leave.”
“Okay, okay, ugh, are you my dad?”
“If you were my child, you wouldn’t be allowed to go out, you bastard.”
Seeing the two people bickering until the end
We moved to dinner.
