106 – Why did I press call?
Hmm. What kind of situation is this?
While broadcasting in full swing, I heard from Ari that on team formation day, streamers usually finish their broadcasts early and have time to gather with their teammates.
What can I say…… In a place like a museum, the group left to see other exhibits, but it felt like they were playing alone without knowing it and then grasping the situation?
…… What a strange metaphor.
Anyway, I freed the viewers who were suffering from ‘that game’ and arrived at this call room.
Aren’t these people saying something? As soon as I entered, the room seemed to become very quiet.
For me who was bullied when I was young, I had a very bad idea for a moment.
If you look at the atmosphere of this, rather than bullying me or maliciously avoiding me…….
“Uh… what were you talking about?”
“Ah! That! That, nothing! Sorry!”
“Yes? Yes… Well, yes. Ah! Hello, Rem-nim! I watched New Tube a lot! How did we become the same team!”
“Huh! Yes… Yes! Taeyang… Now, please take care of me…! Now, I will do my best…!”
“Yes?”
“That… Don’t be a nuisance to the sun…”
“No, this kind of contest should be fun. Have fun. Well… maybe that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Yes, yes! I will have fun!”
Certainly, it seems correct to assume that they are afraid of me.
I have seen many reactions like that, so I can make an accurate judgment.
A person named Rem has a timid side, but he is said to be a male cam streamer that rather worked as an attractive point for him.
It’s hard for me to see a man frightened and hesitant, but isn’t that the sensibility of gender reversal?
I wanted to take this opportunity to get to know you a little more as I used to refer to it a lot because New Tube is a well-active person…….
“Rem is my older brother than me, and he is also my senior on broadcasting, so please feel free. Oh, can I call you hyung too?”
“Yes, yes! Yes…! No… You can do it…!”
… ….
No, it feels like Iljin has become something.
After that, I said hello to the director or a female streamer named Daseong, but I still heard only frightened voices.
Usually, people who see me for the first time are divided into two cases: scared or approaching me based on my appearance, but in this case, only one type of people gather.
At least there was only one streamer named Hunni, who had heard his name in many places but didn’t know him very well, and greeted me without any hint of that.
“Ah, Mr. Tongue. Thank you very much! You are really good at games!”
“Ahahahaha! Yes. Thank you. It’s okay for everyone to relax a little! I’m confident that I’ll win if Lethe noona helps me.”
Is this called TMI? Why did you bring up the back story?
Um. It’s a bit disrespectful for a famous Nam-Cam to call Ari an older sister, but well, what am I going to do if they’re doing that because they’re close?
The atmosphere is strange, so I feel like I’m getting sensitive for no reason.
Still, everyone seems like a good person.
Anyway, the first meeting of such a strange team took place.
###
Our team’s manager, a former professional gamer in his 20s, said let’s try something called scrim.
When I said something about scrim, I heard it meant a practice game…… That’s not important.
It is said that this has several advantages, such as checking the team members’ skills, promoting bonding, and experiencing the feeling of the tournament.
The coach quickly made an appointment for a practice game with another coach who was close to him, and we were able to experience the game quickly.
Also, the director tried to lead a serious but pleasant atmosphere by putting on a product that wasn’t huge.
‘Whether we win this time or not, we’re going to give two free movie tickets to the person on our team who thinks they did the best!’
I think he’s a pretty decent person.
Except for the constant stuttering when talking to me, of course.
The result of that practice game…….
Defeat.
It was quite disappointing that I deserved to win because Ari and I showed great play, and Tongue showed a moderately decent play.
The other two showed terrible performance, but they seemed to be a bit nervous.
Well, it could be. The important thing is that you worked hard until the end.
The players I met only worked hard for about 5 minutes.
“No, Mr. Taeyang…”
“Yes?”
“No, that, you did a lot better than I thought!”
The director seemed to be afraid of me…… , After watching my play, the reaction suddenly changed.
Since he was a pro gamer, is he good at games? It’s me, but it’s good.
“Movie…, I’ll send you a movie gift certificate later! I have to give it to Taeyang no matter what! No, what is it really?”
“Oh, but weren’t the other people also very good at it? Like Tongue Nim…”
“No! It’s just that Taeyang did everything this match! It’s really crazy, really! I’ve never seen a man do this! How did you get to the bronze?”
Please stop.
Wouldn’t it be right to give compliments while looking at the situation? Still, our team is in a losing situation.
Since a while ago, the tongue tooth has not said anything, and the other team members are arguing with trembling voices somewhere.
I just want to say that I can win enough next time and end it.
“At first, I thought he was a bit scary, but really wow… He’s the best. I have to give you a movie ticket unconditionally. I think you’ll admit it, right?”
If you’re a pro gamer, don’t you go to a training camp or something like that?
Thank you, but it feels like I keep spitting out useless words.
It’s like seeing the subordinates of the gym leader who poured out compliments with ignorance…….
A storm of praise that I couldn’t stand for a while swept the chat room.
After the coach kept talking to himself, giving his teammates some game-related advice or even a little compliment.
“You must be very tired today, so I think it would be best to stop here! Thank you all for your hard work! I will inform you of the detailed schedule, such as practice matches!”
I left the chat room like that.
Nothing was said in the chatroom where only five team members remained.
Ari also didn’t bother to talk about this situation.
The director…… People seem nice, but what the hell happened to your notice?
After being silent for a while, the conclusion I came to is…….
Right now, I don’t think things will go smoothly if I don’t rally my teammates somehow.
Even so, since I’m not really great at leadership, I think it’s better to form a comfortable atmosphere one by one with me as the center.
It can be said that it is the best choice.
Then first.
“Rem, today was such a waste, isn’t it?”
“Yes, yes…! I’m so bad… I’m sorry…!”
“No! I don’t have anything to be sorry for! I just wanted to talk to you privately. And you don’t have to use honorifics.”
“Ah, that, yes…! By the way… Hey, talk…?”
Why are you lowering your voice like that?
“Yes… No, yes… I get it… Uh…”
A voice as if it had lost its country and was terrified.
Is this a good contest?
I already feel bad.
###
After all the schedule was over, and after finishing this and that, I decided to take a bath for the first time in a while.
It’s a narrow bathtub, but there is no fresh play when you soak in cool water.
With a comfortable mind, I recalled what had happened earlier.
I feel like something went wrong, but I still saw potential in our team.
To be precise, I still have to say that Rem only saw potential in his older brother.
‘Hyung, you seem a bit nervous today… , But I was really good enough?’
‘Ah, why are you nervous again! How much help did I get from watching Hyung’s New Tube! What a great person!’
‘If I feel like something is going wrong while playing a game, no, I just curse at something that annoys me. Be like a man.’
‘Yo, curse… ? Still… , No, why is that manly in the first place….’
‘That kind of person is called a real man!’
‘Try it. Cyphal.’
‘That, that’s….’
‘Oh quickly! This is all mental training!’
They did well. It was clear that he had talent, seeing as he was quite sticky.
I think it is necessary to instill common sense from the previous world into such a weak man from the previous world.
Jihoon also started to change his personality while playing with me, but honestly, he looks much better now.
I’ll have to talk to a female streamer named Da-seong later.
Anyway, at 11 o’clock, my daily routine was over, and after that, I took a break while talking on the phone with Ari.
But Ari told me the sad news.
It’s true that you can watch any movie for free with the movie ticket you got from the director, but it had a really short expiration date, and the director himself didn’t seem to have confirmed that.
Of course I asked Ari to go see a movie with me, but…… , They said that there would be no time.
It is shocking. How can a streamer be so busy?
Now is the time to meet Ari for real. The level of Ari in the blood is running out.
I haven’t seen Ari in person since that incident……. Should I just visit for a while?
Anyway, I decided to shake off my regrets and use this ticket for employee welfare.
For me, a movie theater was a luxury, so it was a shame to just throw it away.
It’s 11:30 now.
It may be a bit late to call, but…….
There is no such thing between friends.
The phone rang a few times over my cell phone, and I turned on the speaker phone and started talking.
“Hello.”
“Main editor. How are you?”
“Ha…. What is the main editor. Why is he calling all of a sudden… Huh?”
“Huh? What’s wrong? That’s why friends can make phone calls in the middle of the night. I brought something so good… Sister? Why no answer?”
“Are you… that… crazy…?!”
The scene of a terrible and terrifying underworld.
How can you say such harsh words to your employer!
A really big wound.
I turned her head toward her cellphone, thinking of a revenge statement that would embarrass her.
… ….
I hadn’t even typed a comment yet, but I could see Joo Ah-hyun’s flustered face.
Um.
Why is the video call button next to the call button?
It couldn’t have been more unfortunate.
