The heart of determination was the same as usual.
The condition was also an ordinary one, just like any other day.
However, in the case of this Sears bed advertisement,
the advertising budget was enormous, not to mention the unforeseen kindness.
“Hmm, I think a queen size will be fine for Ha Eun’s parents’ bed. As for Ha Eun’s bed, what size would you prefer?”
“Excuse me? Why my bed?”
“Ha Eun needs to use our bed as well. Who would buy a bed that the model doesn’t use?”
“Ah… Thank you.”
In an unexpected twist, sponsorship was ultimately extended to Ha Eun’s bed as well.
“I… I need to do well, or I’ll look like a bad person.”
This brought a sense of responsibility regarding the huge advertising budget provided by Sears and these unforeseen favors.
Consequently, Ha Eun showcased a slightly more intense performance than usual.
Throughout the bed commercial shoot, which finally began, he delivered a seductive performance in line with Da-yeon’s past advice on captivating the camera.
The noble aura of the aria empress that Ha Eun had been focusing on in his practice these days also partially blended in.
Thanks to this, all the feedback from director Bae Ho-yeon was nothing but praise.
Even though the scheduled shots had already been completed without significant NGs, they requested additional takes.
“This is great, every shot is turning out well, and it’s making me greedy. Can we shoot one more time?”
“Sure. That’s fine.”
Thus, he heard Bae Ho-yeon’s cue sign once again.
And almost simultaneously, the soft aura began to flow out again.
Ha Eun, lying with a white blanket half-over him, was fully captured by the cameras set up at various angles.
As he shifted his gaze toward the central camera, a languid smile formed.
Shortly thereafter, Ha Eun’s eyelids slowly closed against the zooming out camera.
Finally, he comfortably turned to the side and came to rest, leading to a cut.
“Ah, that’s great! Ha Eun, you did an amazing job!”
A satisfied expression.
A bright voice.
The slightly tense demeanor seen when Bae Ho-yeon first met Ha Eun a few hours ago was nowhere to be found.
Most of the filming staff, besides Bae Ho-yeon, had favorable expressions as well.
After the day’s advertising shoot concluded, Ha Eun walked around the set, greeting everyone with “Thank you for your hard work.”
It was not surprising that most staff were impressed by Ha Eun’s polite demeanor from start to finish.
“Wow… there really are people like this.”
“He’s already showing such character.”
“It’s not for nothing that he’s famous; he really is remarkable.”
They drastically revised their assessments of Ha Eun.
After a long time, they felt a fondness for the kind-hearted celebrity they had just met.
Even after Ha Eun completely left the ad studio, he did not encounter any negative gazes toward him.
A sigh of relief escaped him without him realizing it.
“Thank goodness…”
How long had it been since he felt this tense?
He couldn’t shake off the nervousness until the very end, recalling the numerous zeros written in the ad contract during the shoot.
Well, still…
In the end, it was finished well, so it seemed reasonable to believe that the worst-case scenario of the bed advertisement contract being canceled wouldn’t occur.
Thus, like any other day, he hopped into Ju Jung-yun’s van and headed home.
However.
“The mattress is super soft. It feels like my back is healing by itself!”
[ So envious. You’re living the good life with a daughter like that. ]
“Yeah. She’s the perfect daughter.”
Ha Eun lay on the new bed he gifted, and Na-yeon’s voice tickled his ears as she spoke.
After remaining silent and just listening, he only greeted her when the call ended.
Soon after, Na-yeon recognized Ha Eun’s presence and returned a warm voice, and before several seconds passed, she tightly hugged him and cuddled.
“How did you even think of gifting mom and dad a bed?”
“Well, I thought it might be something you’d need.”
“Hehe. I really did a great job raising you~.”
Then, she mentioned that she would peel some fruit in gratitude for the bed gift.
Nodding in agreement, he quickly received a variety of peeled fruits and went to Ha Eun’s room.
More precisely.
-Click.
[ Come at me☆(Battle Island) ]
He entered the soundproof white booth and started the broadcast a little earlier than the scheduled time.
With his good mood at the moment, he felt he could broadcast longer than usual.
– Diah
– Another Battle Island? Are you confident?
– Even after being targeted like that, you still can’t get a grip, Diah.
– You need some proper education, right?
– Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~
– You’re not going to self-destruct again, are you?
“Not self-destructing~☆ Today, my goal is definitely to win!”
The broadcast screen of Diah briefly turned black right after.
As expected, the chat window was flooded with numerous question marks.
And not long after that, a sound was heard.
-Dun dun!
The matchmaking notification sound for Battle Island.
– Oh, did you cover the screen?
– Our Diah is finally using her brains.
– Though the targeting was really intense last time.
In any case, Battle Island is a game where streamers can easily get targeted.
The first couple of times, it’s fun to be targeted, but if it continues and normal gameplay can’t proceed, it naturally becomes annoying for viewers.
That’s why Diah cleverly covered the stream while matchmaking in Battle Island.
If no one knows when the matchmaking began, the difficulty of targeting rises sharply, making it a definitely effective measure.
Of course, despite these efforts, there were already some malicious players who had matched in Battle Island.
This was also a fact well-known to Ha Eun.
Thus, several more measures were put in place to avoid the malicious players.
Among them was this one:
[ Nice to meet you~ ]
– ?
– Why suddenly Chinese?
– What the heck, is this an Asian server?
It was different from the server used during the last Battle Island stream.
“Let’s see if you can target me now─☆ Changing servers resolves that─☆”
If the server for matchmaking is different from the one where the malicious players are connected, they cannot even meet.
Thanks to that, the players, who were anticipating Diah’s reaction when she was killed, suddenly found themselves hitting their heads hard as if they were hit from behind.
– Are you now using tricks?
– Who taught you this!!!
– Yep~ already anticipated and switched to an Asian server~ See you later~
– Sorry, but we don’t target just for fun.
Just then, a few of the malicious players’ provocations appeared in the chat window.
-Click.
-Click, click.
“You all need to get out─!!”
Diah couldn’t ignore the straightforward declaration to target her, thus the broadcast blacklist quickly grew.
As a result, the chat atmosphere changed dramatically in an instant.
– Aaaahhh!
– Please spare me, please spare me, please spare me!
– Someone died!!!!!!
– I didn’t say anything, Diah, please save me!
– Dom Hwang Cha!!!!
– Who did you learn knife dancing from?
The chat window was in complete disarray, a situation that had never been experienced before.
Thanks to that, brave malicious players daring to target Diah were nowhere to be found for a while.
Having seized the broadcast atmosphere, they focused on farming as if nothing had happened.
Then, just a few seconds later, there was a sound.
[<LUX>Diah>>>☠ililllllilllil]
“Goodbye~☆”
Perhaps due to the improved gaming conditions compared to the previous Battle Island broadcast, Diah’s fps skills gradually began to show more consistently.
– Wow.
– I felt this last time too, are you perhaps a former pro?
– You are so calm, it’s crazy.
– It looks neat.
– Diah, don’t you plan to enter a tournament?
– Was the M249 this strong of a gun?
After that, no matter whom she faced, she overwhelmed them with her characteristic precise aim.
Even in a sudden ambush, Diah demonstrated calmness while landing headshots, making the chat lively once again.
As expected, the smoothly progressed first match ended in victory.
Technically, since it was a normal game rather than a ranked one, the difficulty of winning was relatively low.
Regardless, winning wasn’t something that could be casually achieved.
– Ding.
[ RubikCube donated 100,000 won! ]
: To the King Diah, the Ultra Super General Diah
[ Sapenku donated 50,000 won! ]
: Cheers!
The support from her fans, congratulating Diah on her victory, poured in for a while.
“Thank you─☆”
After reading numerous donation messages for about ten minutes and responding to the final one, she began the matchmaking for Battle Island again, blacking out the broadcast screen.
The malicious players waiting to target Diah were now determined.
– Now is targeting also a gacha?
– So what server are you on this time?
– Don’t tell me it’s not the Central-South America server!
– Oh no, I have to bring my laptop to run separately.
They literally used all sorts of methods to target Diah.
And thus began a psychological battle between the malicious players and Diah.
However, since the serf they accessed differed, the numbers of the malicious players decreased, making it so that even when they managed to meet Diah, they couldn’t gain the upper hand.
Thanks to that, the broadcast screen only captured Diah cheerfully eliminating a few malicious players instead of showing her struggling against overwhelming ones.
– Bang, bang!
[<LUX>Diah>>>☠Diah hates pineapple pizza]
“Malicious players are so bad at games─☆”
– What?
– Hey, play fairly in a private room!!!!
– As expected, T-bagging is GOAT.
– Someone bring Pro to battle, please!
