Cheat day

Side dish store

Let’s calm down.

I was momentarily surprised by the unexpected material, but these people are just like that.

“Anyway, that’s how it is.” “Wait a moment.”

My phone rang, and it was my mom.

I received a call.

“Mom, I’m working right now.”

-Chanyong, aren’t you always talking about politics on the show? Then something big will happen.

Hahaha, Mom was surprised, hahaha.

What on earth is going on? LOL

Mom, that’s not it, haha.

Everyone, let me explain quickly, haha.

It’s not that I received it on speakerphone, but I must have picked up the sound because I had the microphone set up to capture it well.

The chat room is in chaos.

“No, that’s not it.” I didn’t say anything strange; I was just joking around. Nitpicking over ridiculous things.

-You shouldn’t say that to the people who watch your broadcast.

I’m at a loss for words, and while I’m staying quiet, the chat room is going wild.

-What about dentures for older people?

“Ah.”

It seems you’ve completely misunderstood.

-Can you hear my voice on the broadcast right now?

“I’m leaving.” Why?

– Everyone, I’m Chan-young’s mom. He usually is very polite to adults, so please understand that he just made a slip of the tongue~

“It’s not.” Why are you doing this? I’ll hang up. Let’s talk later.?”

-Okay. Are you managing your blood sugar well?

You’re doing great. Don’t worry.

-Mom believes in her son, so he exercises hard and eats well.

I will.

-But why are you alone on Christmas? I also meet up with friends and stuff.

“I’m working right now.”

– Mom, I don’t even want a girlfriend. If you live by meeting people so you don’t feel lonely, that’s enough.

“No.”

– And I watched the video you posted last time, and I was worried.

“What video?”

-That I haven’t been able to kiss. What are you bragging about? Don’t say things like that. 응? Mom will think that our son is living diligently, even if she sees you doing that.

“…….”

I watched the screen where the broadcast was being transmitted.

A 34-year-old man wearing a white bear headband, with his face painted, and dressed in polar bear pajamas is sitting.

Mom, hahahaha

Shame, lol

Of all times, you had to see me when I was cosplaying, lol.

The original creator is fixing bugs, so don’t laugh too much.

The original work, lol

I’m catching bugs, lol

Today’s broadcast, Mom saved it

I thought my mental strength was tougher than anyone else’s, but today is hard.

“Mother.”

I’ll hang up. I love you.

I hung up the phone and quietly looked down at my cellphone. I can’t think of anything and I don’t even have the motivation.

I have no idea where to start or how to resolve this situation.

Slowly lifting my head, I see they are still smiling.

“Why are you smiling like that?” It’s all your fault.

hahahahahaha

Why is it our fault?

Your mom really loves her son, huh? LOL

He let out a sigh.

I’m briefly contemplating whether I should include the recent event in the video celebrating reaching 100,000 subscribers.

Since it happened anyway, I might as well get some views on the video.

What are you curious about?

Among the various chats, the question about how the broadcast started caught my eye.

I’m really grateful that there are people who ask such normal questions.

Broadcast? I’m bored. If I really need a reason, should I post it since it will be saved when I practice editing? And we started. I was working as a full-time employee at the company where I used to do part-time work, thinking that the more tasks I could handle, the higher my salary would be. And.

I hesitate for a moment.

Anyway, it’s been a long time since I had any pride left.

“Everyone, I don’t know if you know this.” There used to be a level of difficulty in eating alone, remember?

It seems that the viewers know everything too.

Places like company cafeterias, snack bars, and Chinese restaurants are easy. There are many people who go alone. But the meat restaurant is a bit difficult, right?

I was talking about how I started the broadcast, and suddenly?

It seems like running a barbecue restaurant is the hardest.

There are a lot of people who go to fast food places alone. The Chinese restaurant looks a bit difficult.

└But?

Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was doing well.

Do you really not have a single friend? Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, Baek Woo-jin?

So. There are also people from the company, you know.

“Those people are busy, so how can I just call them because I want to eat meat?” It’s also far. “Do you want to see the people from the company this weekend?”

There are indeed odd people who like meeting their coworkers on weekends, but at least I’m not one of them.

“I wanted to eat meat, but it felt a bit strange to go in alone, so I brought a camera.” It’s not like I’m broadcasting right now, but if I just have a camera in front of me, people will think, “Oh, he’s a broadcaster.”

LOL I’m really going crazy

You didn’t start it for that reason, did you?

He really started YouTube just to eat, this guy, lol.

I’ve heard people say they started for money, to get famous, as a hobby, or because they thought it would be easy, but this is the first time I’ve heard of someone starting just to eat alone at a barbecue restaurant

“Could it be that I’m the only one?” “I want to go to a barbecue place alone, but people who feel embarrassed have probably thought about it at least once, right?”

Usually, I just go with someone I know.

I don’t plan on going alone.

You’re the only one like that.

People who used to accuse others of elder abuse as long as they could laugh suddenly appear serious.

Anyway. Talking to myself is kind of boring, you know. “I thought it would be okay if just one or two people joined, so I started the broadcast, and here we are.”

The person who first came in is the one using the ID “Mukkunji.”

I only logged in and never chatted, so we couldn’t have a conversation.

Thanks to that, I don’t even know if they watch my broadcast or not, but anyway, I chatted with them about various things to pass the time.

Speaking in front of the camera felt so awkward, but it seems I was able to speak more comfortably without typing in the chat.

As the viewers gradually increased, now there are 120,000 subscribers.

The number of people watching the live broadcast has already approached 900.

The world is truly unpredictable.

“Also, since Ji-chan and Woo-jin’s channel is big, the number of freelance jobs coming through them has increased.” I also got an introduction. It was difficult to do both broadcasting and freelance work while working at the company, so I quit.

Do you earn more now than when you were working at the company?

How much do you earn?

Let’s disclose the earnings.

“Earn much more.” If it weren’t for that, why would I quit a stable job? As I mentioned before, YouTube earnings are about 1 million won a month. It seems like this month will be a bit more productive. Freelance work varies greatly from month to month.

I tried to brush it off, but they keep asking persistently.

“When I earn less, it’s 400 a month?” When I earn a lot, I make around 500 to 600.

You’re doing well.

Were you a deceiver?

Return the pity I felt earlier.

Why do you dress like that when you earn that much money?

It must be worth cosplaying as a polar bear.

None of the clothes fit. And you all get to rest on the weekends, right? I only sleep and eat, and the rest of the time I just work. “Do you want to see my schedule?”

I found the schedule and calendar I had organized separately.

There were parts that needed covering, so I roughly touched them up with Paint.

“Look.” This is next week’s schedule.

I circled Monday and Tuesday.

You need to outsource Monday and Tuesday. I have to edit four videos, but since they’re long, I need to allocate about four hours for each one. If another revision request comes in, I have to accommodate it. You can say I work about 10 hours a day. “Just pure focused time for 10 hours.”

I moved the mouse cursor to Wednesday.

Starting next week, we decided to do a joint broadcast with Ji-chan every Wednesday. If I do this, I’ll collapse. I have to edit the broadcast while collapsed.

I really don’t know if I can do it.

“Can I take a break the next day?” No. On Thursday, I was supposed to talk about food with Woojin, you know? This is also fixed content, so I need to study what to talk about and wake up early. And after the broadcast, I have to edit it too.

Since it’s about food, I think we can have fun with it even if it’s tough.

“It’s not over.” On Friday, we’re going to explore restaurants like we used to. I have to do research in advance and also do the editing. On Saturday, I have a cooking show with Ji-seung. On Sunday, I have to deal with the things I postponed because I was too tired or prepare for next week’s broadcast.

What do you mean by “Hermione”?

I really remember the Hermione from Kyung Hee University back in the day

You live like this?

Make a lot of money. I can’t live like that.

Seriously, you’re really rowing when the water’s rising.

When is the break?

“This is why I say that my mealtime is the happiest and most healing time for me.” I really can’t do anything except broadcasting and editing, you know?

It’s already been about 4 to 5 years.

I thought I could live a bit more comfortably if I quit my job, but it was a huge mistake.

Due to the pressure of losing a steady income, I didn’t refuse any incoming work and even sought out more jobs.

“When the channel gets a bit bigger, I’ll try to hire some people too.” Even if I do the editing, I think we need someone to prepare the materials needed for the broadcast.

While organizing the schedule, I thought about bringing in staff.

It’s tough for now, but if our income increases just a bit more, we can cover one person’s salary.

I want to secure at least a little bit of my time.

“And.” This is really something for later, but since I don’t get many chances to say this, I’ll just go ahead.

If possible, I spoke comfortably so that it wouldn’t sound too grand.

“I mentioned it before, but there are really a lot of people with diabetes.” But when you go outside, there really aren’t any restaurants for those people.

It’s a thought I’ve been having ever since I started the diabetes diet.

Even I, who work from home, find it hard to manage meals, so how do people who work in offices even manage to eat?

I can’t really think of anything else besides how to carry a lunchbox.

“So, I’m going to learn cooking diligently from Jiseung-hyung, and I want to use my experience to open a store for diabetes patients.” You can really eat comfortably and without worry. A restaurant where you can eat deliciously.

Such difficult times, and even now, meal times are so precious to me.

No matter how tough the day is, I hope you find happiness during mealtime.

“Then this channel too.” I think the things I will do in the future will become more valuable. I think so too.
