Cheat day

Chapter 12 - Cheating Day Chapter 12



Budae jjigae

“Oh.”

Thanks to the consecutive collaborations with Joo Ji-seung and Cha Ji-chan, the YouTube video views have significantly increased.

Especially, the mukbang with Chajichan that was uploaded yesterday has definitely seen a better increase in views compared to other videos.

If this continues, it seems like my channel will surpass 400,000 views for the first time.

The ratio of comments to likes is good, so I secretly hoped for the best, but my lips keep curling up.

“Why do people like watching videos of old men eating?” Your taste is unique, you know.

After thinking about it, there is indeed a reason.

It must be because a famous YouTuber appeared, the scene of teasing Cha Ji-chan spread as memes across various communities, and my nonsense was well received.

The thumbnail turned out great, and the intro was intriguing enough to capture interest.

The YouTube algorithm god also lent a hand, you know.

These factors may not be the only solution, but it is clear that they are effective.

In the future, we should upload these kinds of videos more often, but it’s better not to expect too much from collaborations with well-known YouTubers.

I have built up a network over a long time working in editing, and among them, I am close with Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin, so I can expect to see them occasionally, but they all have tight schedules.

I can’t rely on others forever, and above all, I need to be the one at the center of the side dish shop.

So, we need to prepare content that can keep the people who came in through the collaboration this time.

Even now, does the clumsy cooking show, where I suffer while making healthy meals myself, and the mukbang where I eat out once a week, get a decent response?

If I make YouTube my full-time job, I need to increase my streaming hours, so I need new content to fill the time.

“Where.”

Since I couldn’t think of anything special, I rummaged through the videos I had outsourced so far.

As I watch videos on various topics, I realize anew just how much effort YouTubers must put in to create their content.

Since I’ve decided to make this my main job, I too will have to prepare with all my might.

Crawled to the desk and turned on the broadcast.

Even in November, the average number of viewers was 100 to 200, but now as soon as the broadcast starts, about 180 people join.

When the broadcast is in full swing, it exceeds 500 viewers.

It’s just the beginning.

Don’t get complacent with small achievements; you really need to work hard.

Since the viewers had gathered enough, I turned on the camera and lay down on the blanket.

Did you not cook today?

Why are you lying down? lol

You’re doing the broadcast comfortably.

Nubbang lol

Do you broadcast even on Christmas?

“Don’t be like that.” Just turning on the broadcast was already a huge effort.

Thanks to doing 100 squats and walking 5.6 km the day before yesterday, my legs won’t listen to me.

As I am right now, lying down is the best option for me.

“I didn’t have any energy today, so I ate and went to bed.” What are you going to do on Christmas? What day is it?

Christmas is a day for sleeping.

Now that it’s just two days away, you can hear carols at the store and see garlands and trees in the aisles.

Last year, I repeatedly watched the Harry Potter movies while waking up and falling asleep, but this year, I’m contemplating how to approach the broadcast.

hahahahahahahaha

What’s Christmas?

The day I see Kevin

What is Kevin?

Has a generation that doesn’t know Home Alone already arrived?

Do they not show it on TV much these days?

You don’t even watch TV in the first place, haha.

They really play well together.

“We will be broadcasting even on Christmas.” I haven’t decided what to do yet. Well, it’ll come to me.

First, Santa cosplay

This is so funny

If this guy puts on a beard and wears red clothes, he’s Santa, lol.

High-quality cosplay

That’s why I like this guy. I have to broadcast even on Christmas.

I’m really annoyed, but I think it might actually suit me.

If there were a Santa Claus body type competition, I think I would be a strong contender for the win.

“What’s the point of cosplaying like that?” And in the first place, Santa himself is the problem. What’s good about claiming something that doesn’t exist?

No Santa?

I’m so shocked.

Childhood destroyed

Uncle, that’s too much I didn’t cry and worked hard this year to get a gift.

Hyung, this is really big. If it gets out that Santa isn’t real, the social repercussions will be no joke.

└For real, at this point, there’s nothing to say even in court. It’s guilty right away.

Apologize.

Clarify

These people are clearly afflicted with a disease that makes them unable to go a single day without talking nonsense.

Geez. Speaking of which, 90% of my broadcast viewers are in their 30s and 40s. Stop calling me “sir” or “brother” all the time. There are many people older than me, you know. You’re the older brother. You knew whether Santa existed or not about 30 years ago.

Advertisements

My 38-month-old believes in Santa.

I’m 31 years old.

hahahahahahaha

Well, when I see your face, “uncle” just comes out naturally, what can I do?

even though you’re a snake, I’ll just call you hyung.

Crazy, lol. Was I the only one in my 20s?

These people seem to get a thorn in their side if they don’t tease me for even a day.

“Anyway, Santa is inconsiderate.” Think about it. On Children’s Day, when other kids receive game consoles, robots, and cars, how do you think the kids who don’t get any gifts feel? I was good for a whole year too, I didn’t cry, so why am I the only one not getting a gift? Am I a bad kid? You won’t think that way, will you? You have to talk to those kids properly. There’s no such thing as Santa, and it’s not because you’re bad that you don’t get presents.

That’s right. I was so envious when my friend got a car from their parents not long ago.

That’s not the car, though, lol.

Is it a personal story?

Mister, saying things like that while lying down isn’t convincing.

“And.” Why is this guy perfectly fine?

He asked while showing a picture of Santa Claus.

“You all said it too.” Santa and I have the same body shape. Then shouldn’t Santa have high blood pressure and diabetes too? Why is this guy the only one healthy?

Jiltle

Crazy, lol. I was wondering what you were talking about.

Look at how furious he is.

Banha Chuchanyong

Did you say you were betrayed? You don’t mean to say

“Isn’t that right?” I’ve never heard of Santa going out other than at Christmas. Have you ever seen Santa on March 11th? What is July 19th? It’s not there. If he only goes out once a year, he probably doesn’t exercise either, so why am I eating greens while this guy is? Well, you’ll probably have something delicious to eat. Santander.”

The name Santa actually originates from Satan, according to academic consensus.

If you just switch the letters around, Santa becomes Satan.

“Stop saying nonsensical things.” Santa and Satan are in English, right? Santa. Satan. If only the final consonants changed, it would be the same.

The only difference is the location.

Crazy. Even if it’s in English, only the position of ‘n’ changes.

“I knew this would happen.” What about Santa? It was Satan.

You’re falling for that again.

hahahaha idiot

Am I fat, you idiot? 봐! It’s 133 kg!

“Oh, why are you doing that again?” You were just joking, right? I can’t make any jokes.

While I was joking around with the viewers, my smartphone vibrated.

When I checked the sender, it was Baek Woo-jin from Ugenius.

I thought there might be an issue with the video I sent the day before yesterday, so I received it.

– Hyung, I’m watching a broadcast right now. Is it okay if I take a quick break?

What kind of situation is this?

Since I was on air, I was about to ask if I could contact them later, but they ended up asking me a question first.

“Why?”

-I thought of a funny story, so I wanted to tell you.

No. “Why are you watching my stream?”

-I’m bored.

What call is it?

Who?

It’s a survey call, isn’t it? Stop pretending to be friends and hang up. 빨리.

It’s a call to change my phone, lol.

“Are you pretending to have friends?” Woojin, why don’t you say something?

I switched to speakerphone.

Hello. It’s not a friend, just an acquaintance, Baek Woo-jin.

“Um… I’m sorry for pretending to be your friend.

hahahahahahaha

Is that genius Baek Woo-jin?

Why doesn’t this guy know anyone?

Who is Baek Woo-jin?

I’m a YouTuber who deals with various bits of knowledge like literature, art, music, trivia, science, and so on.

Is this really Baek Woo-jin???

“What do you mean?” “Do it quickly and finish.”

-You were upset asking why Santa Claus is healthy. But honestly, things like body shape or facial flushing. Ah, facial flushing could also be a temporary phenomenon caused by moving quickly in cold weather.

I forgot. This person is a know-it-all.

Every time you edited the videos for the Unigeous channel, you worked hard.

“But?”

-They say there’s a high probability of experiencing adult diseases like diabetes.

The world is fair.

-But do you know when Santa Claus became chubby?

“How would I know that?”

-I used to be slim. But in the 19th century, when an illustration of a chubby Santa Claus was published in a magazine called Harper’s Weekly, that image has continued to this day. So, Santa Claus might have had diabetes since the 19th century.

“……Huh?”

-But isn’t it strange? Santa Claus has had diabetes for over 200 years, so he must have developed complications, but he’s perfectly fine, right? Even in 1931, they even shot a Coca-Cola commercial. In my hometown in Finland, we eat a risotto called “risifrutti” made with rice, milk, sugar, and cinnamon powder during Christmas. Even though I ate food that raises my blood sugar so much, I didn’t get any complications. Isn’t it amazing?

“…….”

– I think it’s probably because Westerners’ pancreases are generally larger compared to those of Asians. So, even though Santa Claus is fat, his blood sugar doesn’t rise much. Ah, blood sugar regulation is done by insulin, and the pancreas is the organ that secretes that insulin.

I hung up the phone.

The phone rang again, but it hung up again.

“There was a brief commotion.”

What the heck all of a sudden

Explanation enthusiast, lol

What just happened?

I didn’t know Baek Woo-jin is really crazy

Did you call just to tell me that?

I didn’t want to know, but I ended up getting useless information that Santa Claus might not have diabetes.

Lucky nerd

I became a 1 million subscriber YouTuber.

[Woojin has donated 1,000 won]: Hyung, the call got disconnected. Look at my phone.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

The call got disconnected

I hung up on purpose because I didn’t want to listen, haha.

“My phone is broken.” Let’s get in touch next time.

If I get caught in this guy’s pace, I’ll be in pain throughout today’s broadcast.

[Woojin has donated 1,000 won]: No. I’m on the phone right now, but your broadcast is making a buzzing sound. It’s not broken.

“Hey, this stone needs to sleep.” I’m live streaming right now. Whether Santa Claus or Satan Claus has diabetes or not, say it on your show. “Why are you acting like this after coming here?”

[Woojin has donated 1,000 won]: Got it. I’ll stop talking about Santa.

“Okay.”

[Eugene has donated 1,000 won]: So, what should we do for fun?

“What are you playing at?” Why would I with you…

While speaking, I suddenly thought it might actually be a good thing.

The day before yesterday, I overexerted myself during exercise, so I have no energy. It would be nice to have one more person to fill the sound.

Above all, even though he’s a bit strange, he’s a major YouTuber with 1.13 million subscribers.

Just like the collaboration with the head monk of Banya Restaurant and the porter Chajichan, it will surely help in promoting the channel.

“I will.” Of course. I’ll contact you on Discord.

Instead of keeping my smartphone on all the time, I found it more convenient to connect through my computer, so I called via Discord.

“Can you hear me?”

-What are you going to do?

Favorite Food World Cup. No, but aren’t you busy?

Baek Woo-jin has been living a busy life lately, often appearing on public broadcasts.

Thanks to that, the subscriber growth trend is among the best for domestic YouTubers, so it’s only natural to be puzzled by your presence on my stream during this crucial time.

“But why are you doing this?”

-I’m busy.

“What are you talking about?”

– Hyung, what did you do first the night before an exam when you were in school?

“I studied.”

Before studying.

“……cleaning the room?”

-That’s the feeling I get. Since there’s so much to do, I feel like procrastinating.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Ah, that’s true.

It only looks messy when I really need to study.

-Actually, I should start working slowly. I was goofing off because I didn’t want to work.

“Of course.”

It seems that I was probably bored while taking a break from work.

It’s a bit disappointing that we couldn’t do the collaboration, but I thought it was strange from the beginning.

-But, is your body okay, hyung?

“My blood sugar has dropped a lot, and I need to consistently manage my weight. “Eat less and move more, right?”

Baek Woo-jin hesitated as if he was contemplating something.

Text to translate: -Let me know when the broadcast is over. I have something to say.

“Do you have something to say privately?”

-It’s not like that, but if you’re okay with it, should we set a time to meet?

It’s a story about a collaboration.

“Are you serious?” It’s good for me.

-Okay. Then talk later. I will hang up!
