It was a holiday like any other.
This winter, it snowed so much that white flakes were pouring down from the sky.
Seeing the snow brought back memories of the past.
Back then, I couldn’t get so angry just because it snowed.
After all, it felt like trash was falling from the sky, and no matter how much I cleaned up every day, there was no end in sight.
Looking back, it was all just memories.
It was then that I was lost in thought while looking out the window.
– Let’s go out!
“Go out?”
– Yes! It’s Christmas Eve.”
The first to speak was Ryu-a.
She contacted me out of the blue to suggest we hang out.
Most of my calls with Ryu-a went like this.
Her spontaneous nature would suggest something, and I would either accept or decline.
These days, I mostly accepted her suggestions, though.
“Should I invite Ji-yeon and Si-young too? It’s been a while since we’ve hung out together.”
– Hmm, yeah. It would be nice for the four of us to play.
Ryu-a replied in a strange tone.
Since the stalking incident, the four of us had subtly begun to share our daily lives.
We had become a sort of fixed group that didn’t miss out on going somewhere together or hanging out.
It was a somewhat burdensome fact that the main interest and intersection for these individuals was me.
However, it was also something that could only happen when everyone had free time.
If we didn’t have the time or were far apart, gathering would be impossible.
Ryu-a was the busiest among the four of us.
Her place of residence was quite far from the rest.
“…Can you come up?”
Though I hadn’t felt it much lately due to our frequent meetings, Ryu-a lived in Busan.
It seemed like we saw each other too often for her to simply come up whenever she had free time.
– Ah, didn’t I tell you? I’m staying at my sister’s place in Seoul.
“First I’m hearing about this.”
– You see, I left my hometown and started living with my sister in Seoul.
– It feels like a pure local girl dreaming of making it in Seoul. I was actually curious about life in Seoul.
“Well, that makes sense.”
Nodding quietly, Ryu-a spoke to me in a significant tone.
As if she were whispering something very important.
– And being in Seoul means I can see Ji-eun more often.
“That’s true.”
– You’re also okay with that, right?
Ryu-a and Ji-yeon always had a tendency to confirm something with me.
Seeing this makes me wonder if I haven’t been expressive enough.
“For me, it’s better that you’re in Seoul.”
– Hehe.
“But why Christmas Eve? It’s not Christmas Day.”
Is there really a need to hang out on the Eve?
When you think about it, the main event is Christmas Day, and the Eve feels more like an opening act.
– Ah, I have to stream on Christmas. Ji-eun.
“Really?”
Ryu-a wasn’t that dedicated of a streamer.
She may have been a diligent streamer originally, but I could definitely say that was not the case now.
She often took breaks from streaming two to three times a week; did she have a reason to stream on Christmas?
When I asked her that question, Ryu-a replied meaningfully, as if she was about to let me in on something.
– Ji-eun, you don’t know, do you?
“What do you mean?”
– The consequences of not streaming on Christmas.
“What happens?”
Is the world going to end or something?
Being genuinely curious, I asked her about the reason.
<How to Identify a Female Streamer Who Is Selling Yuksu on Christmas>
Greetings. It’s me.
Today is Christmas. Honestly, it’s not a particularly important day for me.
Whether people are singing carols outside or whether popular people are having a wild drug-filled sex party, it’s none of my business.
With ten years of experience in internet broadcasting, if the female streamers I watch take a break on Christmas, that’s a problem.
Especially if you, as a genuine Yuksu, are in a pseudo-relationship with a female streamer you like, then it’s an even bigger problem.
Yeah, you. I’m talking about you.
I’ll teach you how to identify female streamers who are taking advantage of clueless fools.
You can’t just be a simpleton in reality and turn into a cyber-simpleton too.
There aren’t too many methods for identification; there are exactly two.
1. Filter out female streamers who announce breaks on Christmas.
There are always some who manage to take breaks only on Christmas, Children’s Day, Halloween, etc.
They might say they are re-organizing, getting ill at the end of the year, their parents’ birthdays, a friend passed away, or suddenly relatives came over, etc.
These excuses vary widely, but unless it’s a seriously grave matter, don’t believe them.
If there’s no proof, don’t believe them. They’re just going off to have sex with their boyfriends.
If you filter out female streamers who take a break on Christmas in this primary step, most will be excluded.
Do you think that sounds overly suspicious? It can’t be helped.
If you have no information about streamers, this is the safest way to watch broadcasts without getting hurt and feel pseudo-romantic feelings.
It would be fine to simply not watch female streamers selling Yuksu, but if that were possible, I wouldn’t have lived like this until now.
Falling in love isn’t a crime, is it?
It’s just that love can be excessive at times.
2. Be suspicious of female streamers who stream on Christmas but took a break on Christmas Eve.
You can identify them by looking at what they wear the next day.
Did they show up all bundled up, different from usual? That’s a dead giveaway.
The most obvious parts are the knees, and just looking at the neck or wrists gives you a rough estimate.
These days, the second situation appears more frequently than the first.
Many female streamers use the tactic of meeting men on Christmas Eve while streaming on Christmas Day to evade suspicion.
Why do I analyze this? Because I believe it’s basic etiquette for female streamers to keep their relationships with men discreet.
If it’s a room where they intentionally don’t want to deal with Yuksu, that’s one thing, but if they leave any possibility, they should at least show respect for the Yuksus.
But if they don’t stream on Christmas and are out meeting men, is that really respectful?
They should at least get caught, right? If it’s this easy to figure out, it seems like they’re deliberately making it obvious.
I’m rambling; anyway, I jotted down some tips I’ve been thinking about for Christmas.
I hope you continue to enjoy internet broadcasting.
Then, goodbye~.
ㅇㅇ : This is a masterpiece
ㅇㅇ : I was a Yuksu, but after reading this, I suddenly have a huge reality check, lol. Why on earth am I watching a female streamer selling Yuksu?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : I seriously can’t understand why I watched them until now.
ㅇㅇ : I thought the 10,000-hour rule was nonsense, but now it suddenly seems credible. Is there anyone as well-versed in Yuksu as this person?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Even if you calculated watching 8 hours a day, that’s almost 30,000 hours this person has spent.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : The scary thing is that even this person, who has mastered Yuksu in internet broadcasting, hasn’t been able to break free from Yuksu life.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : That’s practically urban legend-level.
ㅇㅇ : Thanks to you, I just filtered out a female streamer on my way here.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : I feel sorry for the female streamers who get filtered out by such a guy.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : In the long run, this is actually beneficial.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Seriously, they’re viewers who won’t help at all in the broadcast, just looking at them as you can tell.
ㅇㅇ : Stop analyzing stuff like this and live your own life.
“Do you want an explanation? What do I need to explain?”
On Christmas Day, when I started my broadcast, I found myself in a bizarre situation.
[Explain]
[Explain]
[Explanation]
[What were you doing on Christmas Eve that you didn’t stream?]
[I’m hurt, I’m hurt, I’m hurt, I’m hurt.]
[Again, it was only me who was sincere.]
[These idiots are always “sincere.”]
[They’re crazy people who only know how to go straight ahead… They shouldn’t be driving cars on the road…]
[Just ban all the idiots talking nonsense here.]
[More than half should be banned, but if that happens…]
“It’s Christmas Eve, so I just took a break. Is that why you’re acting like this right now?”
Taking a break wasn’t something new for me, and I wasn’t someone who streamed every single day.
If the issue isn’t that I took a break but rather when I took it, then…
“What’s the big deal about taking a break on Christmas Eve?”
What does it matter?
December 24th is the same to me as January 24th.
The day I decide to take a break is my holiday.
Seeing the viewers scream as if I had pressed their ‘panic’ button, a single thought crossed my mind.
Ah, could it be what Ryu-a mentioned?
“I’m not out meeting a guy, so calm down. I was just hanging out with my younger sibling, Ryu-a, and the editor; the four of us had fun.”
[Editor? Editor? Editor? Editor? Editor? Ugh…]
[The editor is a girl, she’s a true genuine Yuksu.]
[Ugh… Ugh… Phew.]
[If only you had told us beforehand, teacher ^^.]
[Are these idiots asking why Mollu doesn’t share her private life with them?]
Exactly, this was truly an absurd situation.
“Thinking about it, why am I trying to explain myself? Are you all my boyfriends? Honestly, whether I’m meeting a guy or a girl is none of your business.”
[Mollu being accused of being bisexual, oh my!]
[Mollu doesn’t have specific preferences.]
[The true intellectual of our time;]
[You should be responsible if you made the first move, okay?]
[Seriously lol, you’re the one who brewed the Yuksu and then pretending you don’t know.]
“Also, it’s not Christmas Day; it was Christmas Eve that I took a break. If I were going to meet someone, wouldn’t I usually do that on Christmas Day?”
Ryu-a, who insisted on hanging out on Christmas Eve to avoid misunderstandings, made all her efforts go to waste, which I found irritating.
[These days, many people meet on Christmas Eve, says the expert.]
[That’s what they say.]
[That’s what they say.]
“What kind of nonsense…”
It’s obvious.
Someone must have posted some analysis as a random post in a community.
It seems that made quite an impression on some viewers.
But that’s separate from this.
I wanted to restore the discipline that had loosened lately.
“That’s it for today’s broadcast. Thank you all for coming.”
[????]
[What?]
[You idiots made the teacher angry, didn’t you?]
[I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.]
[All newcomers, get out!!!!!!!]
[These days, watching streams has become way too comfortable, huh?]
[Seriously, you should go back to the days when I only streamed once a week to wake up.]
“That’s why you guys are getting too cocky.”
While I didn’t actually think that, I said it intentionally in a haughty manner.
I always believed that the relationship between a streamer and viewers is horizontal; no one is superior.
The act of me intentionally taking a concept and playing a role had a huge effect.
The group that had been interrogating me disappeared, and chat was filled entirely with crying emoticons.
Is this what a reign of terror looks like?
“Please don’t act like that in the future, understood?”
Now that it seemed they came to their senses, I would ease up.
In a soft tone, as if I had calmed down, I spoke.
Actually, I was only annoyed, not truly angry.
[^^7]
[Hehe… a bossing mollu.]
[A female streamer that knows how to use both carrot and stick… that’s rare.]
“Ha.”
Yeah, that suits you better.
Watching the viewers ranting as usual, I chuckled softly.
