I am Smart

---

Park Tae-yeon, also known as San-deng.

The name suddenly popped into his head, reminiscent of the delicious oden he had eaten from a nearby street stall right after a tough descent from the mountain.

A casually created nickname, leading to a surprisingly successful game broadcast.

He broadcasted quietly, without hanging too much on anything, and because of that charm, people were drawn in even more.

Unlike the cactus, he was completely free of controversy.

When deeply immersed in something, his emotions and actions would excessively tilt, unlike the rigid cactus that was like a stiff piece of wood; San-deng was flexible, swaying like a reed.

But right now…

[No, I was just curious because my coworkers started the broadcast early!! I’ve said it a few times! Huh!? D-don’t keep tying me into that!]

[Look, there’s no response. It’s true that Si-hyun unni deliberately teased you with her gaze~!]

[……]

[Ah, no, I never! I just thought your outfit was really pretty, so I was going to ask where you bought it!]

[The Squirrel will vouch for me. Right, Squirrel?]

[…… Uh, um…… Hehe……]

[…… Hey. Speaking of you, when you and the Squirrel went to order something, uh? I saw you bowing your head and pretending to look at your phone while stealing glances at Si-hyun, okay?]

[What!? No!? …… When was that!? …… How did you see that?]

[……]

[Hey, San-deng! You really looked because you were curious, didn’t you?]

“……”

In this incredibly chaotic situation, it was hard to adjust alone.

The broadcast was filled with the cactus’s flustered loud voice and the sharp tones of two women.

Their conversation resembled a legal battle.

If it were the original San-deng, he would have avoided the flaming comments and enjoyed the broadcast from the sidelines, like a reed swaying in the wind.

But today was different.

―――

F*ck, it’s the San-deng gay.

Die, male parasite, lol.

San-deng, you really can’t escape being a typical guy, huh?

Moon Si-hyun goes “Ahn,” and San-deng totally loves it; it’s all about Si-hyun’s boobs.

Wow, even San-deng gets caught in this kind of stuff, lol.

Fck, leave Moon Si-hyun alone! Fck! Leave Moon Si-hyun alone!

??? : Keep your distance from those who say they aren’t interested in anything???: Keep your distance from those who say they aren’t interested in anything??

Let’s forget the competition and just make a couple’s show, San-deng. Ooh ooh.

Why’s the chat like this?

??? : Oh, I’m not really interested in women???: Oh, I’m not really interested in women???: Oh, I’m not really interested in women???: Oh, I’m not really interested in women???: Oh, I’m not really interested in women???: Oh, I’m not really interested in women??

―――

“……”

His own chat was just as fiery as the others.

His focus was being drawn more than usual, attracting attention to him.

Reading the trembling messages, San-deng finally spoke up in a small voice.

“…… No. I was just curious. Really.”

―――

Ooh ooh has donated 1,000 won.

“Just curious” (smashing the four-way multi-stream live broadcast he’s never done in his life)

―――

“……”

―――

For real.

Lmao.

The fact that this fool got caught is legendary, lol.

For real, lol.

I should go make a “Curious” tab for the male parasite controversy too, ooh.

San-deng, I’m disappointed. I thought you weren’t interested in women.

Lmao.

―――

Ooh ooh has donated 1,000 won.

San-deng, you’re a guy too? I thought you were just pretending to be interested in women, so I thought you might be a disguised gay, ooh.

The moment he said that, the chat began to flood with questions.

San-deng wiped away his cold sweat quietly.

To be honest, he felt a bit. No, a lot, unfair.

It was true that he watched because he was curious about Moon Si-hyun’s appearance.

However, contrary to what the viewers were pushing, it wasn’t a rational curiosity; it was simply out of curiosity.

In many ways, she stood out the most among streamers.

She was astonishingly good at stirring up various controversies around her.

And ultimately, she was extraordinarily good at drawing everyone to her side.

Moreover, after the recent “voice commenting incident” involving San-deng a few days ago, he couldn’t help but be more aware of her.

Due to this complex mix of factors, his usual indifference was piqued.

But he couldn’t completely deny his curiosity.

If it hadn’t been for Moon Si-hyun, San-deng would have remained indifferent as usual.

“……”

Of course, he knew the viewers weren’t genuinely asking.

They were just excited to see San-deng behave differently than his usual image.

But this time, his usual nonchalance was nowhere to be found.

While he had burned other rooms, he had very little experience burning his own with such controversies.

It was the first time he found himself linked to a woman like this.

A blazing chat window, a situation spiraling out of control.

“……”

San-deng made a mental decision in the midst of the chaos.

“…… Um.”

He cleared his throat for a moment.

[No, f*ck! I swear, I just turned on the four broadcasts I follow at the same time and thought, ‘I’m just curious!’ That has to be it for San-deng too—]

“In fact, In-jang told me as soon as I woke up that the women were having fun chatting, so I should check it out. So I watched without really thinking about it. I can provide KakaoTalk evidence.”

[Hey, you f*cking bastard!!!]

―――

LMAO.

Is this for real?

LMAO.

Oh, f*ck.

Those male parasites are crazy.

Is it you again, Cactus??

LMAO.

All male parasites should die, lol.

Gasp.

F*ck, I’m covering for you, lol.

Alright, let the cactus sacrifice himself, ooh.

It’s only right that the cactus steps in for this, lol.

Wow, throwing him away, lol.

This guy’s insane, lol.

Abandoning an 11-year-old friend like this, lol.

It’s actually San-deng’s fault for keeping friends with a bad guy like him, ooh.

―――

Harris and Satori, along with Cactus and San-deng.

The ongoing expose.

[……]

Sansu still appeared to be in silent ignorance of the situation.

However, without a doubt, the most confused person here… was definitely.

“……”

It would be Moon Si-hyun, who was quietly listening to this verbal battle.

Since entering the discord, she had spent a rather bewildered time.

After the broadcast started, and after talking about meeting with the girls yesterday…

―――

Is it true that her chest is huge for real?

Is this the person who was sexually assaulted by Satori’s gaze?

How tall is she?

Is it really true that she has a good ratio??

I’ve heard this person is a complete blue pill taker.

―――

… Strangely bizarre chats started flooding in.

… Moreover, she still couldn’t fully grasp the conversations between the streamers.

The guys were chattering about multi-screen or four-way views, and she simply gave up trying to understand.

The only conversations she could somewhat understand were those close to a debate between two girls.

Perhaps Harris and Satori were talking about their appearances and what had transpired because of them.

Moon Si-hyun was listening quietly, pondering.

‘…… Is it okay to talk about this on air?’

Feeling her face heat up, she fanned herself and thought.

She wasn’t compulsively hiding her body or face. She was just following Lee Da-ram’s proposal to hide without exception.

And she didn’t know much about VTuber culture.

When VTubers meet, they strongly appeal to the charms of the other’s body or appearance or the situation between friendship and romance, or contact.

Moreover, she was still concerned about Sansu, who had just entered, even if she had a guess about the skits between streamers.

She quietly looked at Sansu’s nickname for a moment,

Taking a shallow breath, she inhaled deeply.

“…… Everyone.”

She opened her mouth.

The previously noisy streamers fell silent for a moment.

“We’re holding the Demons Competition today. We all prepared hard together for a week, and this isn’t just a joke competition. Plus, now we have Sansu here, right? There must be a reason for gathering us like this. I think right now, whether it’s for the streamers or viewers, what matters isn’t the size of my chest or my face or my body.”

[[……]]

Her calm, adult-like, and reasoned words.

In an instant, the spamming and bickering among the streamers froze.

And before long…

[Oh, was Sansu here? I’m sorry.]

[Sorry, Sansu…… I didn’t see you come in.]

[My apologies, Sansu.]

[Sorry……. I didn’t know.]

[Oh, I’m sorry, Sansu.]

―――

Wow.

That’s true, ooh.

Gasp.

She looks so mature when she says it like that…

What?!

You just said it outright, lol.

Aren’t you ashamed?

I’m not joking; she’s the most capable I’ve seen among Moon Si-hyun lately, ooh.

As expected, maturity is Moon Si-hyun’s specialty.

I’ll reflect on my actions…

This is right, ooh. We have to consider Sansu.

―――

Thus, chats calming down continued to flow.

With Moon Si-hyun’s graceful fanning of herself, it was a moment when the previously heated atmosphere cooled down.

Isn’t this her fault? This mess happened because of her body. [21]

The girls felt uncomfortable with the host’s body, and that is why this happened! [11]

The fact that her body is too provocative caused this incident, so why is she lecturing us? (for real) [14]

I don’t care about the competition; just show us your breasts. [19]

Just show us your face and body. [34]

This happened because your body is so perverted; shouldn’t you apologize to us instead? [26]

Does she not know who’s at fault here? [35]

If anyone should apologize, it should definitely be Moon Si-hyun!! [32]

Si-hyun, I’ll tell you the only way to ask for forgiveness; come join us! [44]
