Chapter 6: Party Story

Yesterday’s party was more enjoyable than I expected. Until the middle of it, I was quietly eating by myself to pass the time, but later on, there was a networking event of sorts, and I got to chat with various streamers. Among them was Bandal Bear, the streamer I enjoy watching the most.

Though it was a bit embarrassing to have one of my fans recognize me and expose my face, I decided not to worry too much about it. After all, it’s not like I have a face that would cause any issues if it were revealed.

Besides, we didn’t even take a picture together before they left, so the chances of my face being exposed are practically nonexistent. They didn’t seem like the type to do something like that, anyway.

After spending a fresh and eventful day, I returned to my usual routine and, as always, started my stream right on time at 6 o’clock.

‘Cosmo has started streaming.’ ‘Party Story + Chill Stream’

When I checked later, I saw that it wasn’t just me. All the other streamers in the ranking had titled their streams with some variation of “party story.” It made me chuckle a bit.

People really do think alike.

【ElephantYahHoo】 – Koa (Hi!)

【PassingAppleFan】 – Koa

【AlpacaHunter】 – Koa

As soon as familiar nicknames popped up in the chat with their greetings, a donation notification followed.

【‘CosmoForever’ donated 10,000 won.】

Koa! How was the Twip party?
The chairman is here again. It seems like there isn’t a single day they miss. I wish I could do something nice for people like them.

“Ah, thank you so much for the donation! Well, I did feel a bit awkward and ended up sticking to the corner, but I had a good time. They offered me some drinks, so I had a few, but I felt exhausted this morning because of that.”

【WhiteForest】 – Is the host a lightweight? Can’t handle social life.

【LucidDream7】 – That’s why you’re not in social life, right? Hahaha.

【WhirlwindFlower】 – Lololol

These guys…

Look at them jumping on my comment right away. And who says I don’t have a social life? I do everything I need to, okay? I go to the dentist regularly, I work out at the gym.

Wait, is that even considered social life? Anyway, moving on.

【’ElephantYahHoo’ donated 1,000 won.】

How much did you drink?
“Not much. Just about three glasses of wine?”

I answered, holding up three fingers, even though they couldn’t see me because I don’t use a webcam.

Knowing that I’m not good with alcohol, I usually try to refrain even if there are drinking events. Yesterday, though, I got a bit caught up in the atmosphere and drank a bit more than usual.

But it’s not that I dislike alcohol. If I have time at home, I might crack open a can of beer and drink alone. I just don’t like getting drunk.

【ElephantYahHoo】 – Wow, you’re weak with alcohol.

【GlassesAndLock】 – You’re still stronger than me.

【ArisaLovesIt】 – I turn red after just one shot of soju too. Lololol

It seems like this chat is filled with people who are also bad at social life. Does that make us comrades? No wonder people say “scum attracts scum.” In the end, it feels like you guys are all I have.

“Anyway, today I’ll briefly share some stories and then switch over to that game we didn’t finish last time. Does that sound good? To be honest, there’s not much to talk about from the party.”

【CroMagnon】 – That’s surprising. Wasn’t it fun?

【Moscos】 – You were so excited for it, but your reaction seems lukewarm.

【SeafoodSauce】 – I don’t mind either way.

“It’s not that it wasn’t fun, but there really isn’t much to talk about.”

If anyone related to the event is watching this broadcast, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that the party wasn’t fun. So, please make sure to invite me to the next one as well.

“I took a few pictures, by the way. The food quality was really good.”

【SojuFlavoredHandCream】 – Other streamers said the same thing.

【K-HipHopTopCosmo】 – Wow, that looks amazing.
【BlueRageGame】 – Looks better than last time, right?

The viewers seemed to remember hearing about last year’s end-of-the-year party from other streamers, so they could compare. As they praised the food photos I showed them, commenting on how much effort had gone into it, I couldn’t help but feel a bit proud, like I had been treated to something special.

“They even had steak that you could order separately. I tried it, and it was really delicious. But it seemed expensive, so I only ordered it once and then stuck to the buffet.”

【CatfishWithSalmon】 – Why do you even care about that, lololol.

【ElephantYahHoo】 – Typical: Worrying about weird stuff.
【NextDoorHoney】 – But it does look pricey, lololol.

Wait, was that worth making fun of? If I knew they’d tease me about it, I would’ve just kept quiet. I ended up giving them material to mock me with. Damn it.

【‘CosmoForever’ donated 1,000 won.】

Lololol, that wasn’t an expensive cut, so you could’ve had more.
“Huh, really? Wasn’t it expensive?”

I asked in confusion after the chairman’s comment. Isn’t steak always expensive? Maybe I don’t know much about it since I don’t eat steak that often.

As expected, the chairman must eat this kind of thing regularly and recognized it right away. Here’s where you see the difference in class. Sigh.

“Anyway, I was satisfied with the food. Oh, and there’s something else I want to brag about…”

【WhirlwindFlower】?

【AdiosDao】 – ?

【PinkRabbit】 – Banned from VIP chat?

These guys immediately shut down whatever I was about to say.

But so what? This is my stream. What can you even do? You can’t do anything but sit there and cry with envy, you punks.

“Actually, for the first time, I met a fan of mine at the party. And it was a woman.”

Ignoring the flood of hooks, I proudly continued to tease them, and sure enough, even more hooks came in, far more than before.

【ElephantYahHoo】?

【Bera666】 – What nonsense is this?

【SkirtSteak】 – How did she recognize you? Lol.

They mostly responded with confusion.

Well, that’s understandable. I don’t normally show my face on stream, so it would be strange for someone to recognize me. But it actually happened in real life!

“I was surprised too, but remember how I showed my outfit on stream the day before the party? She remembered that. So, when she saw me, she wasn’t sure at first, but she came over to ask.”

【I’mTellingTheTeacher】 – Wait, is that even possible?

【KyungHwaSooWol】 – Which streamer was it?

Since it was a party for streamers, most people seemed to assume that the person was a streamer. I should clear up the misunderstanding right away.

“She wasn’t a streamer. She was one of the staff at the event. Apparently, they were short on hands that day, so she was called in at the last minute.”

【WuBaekRim】 – Oh, the timing is perfect, though.

【ArisaLovesIt】 – If she remembered your outfit, she must be a true fan.

【PassingAppleUser】 – That’s kind of scary, though. Lol.

I also thought it was an incredible coincidence, but isn’t that how life works sometimes?

It’s not like she somehow found out I’d be there, remembered my outfit, and infiltrated the event as a staff member to find me. That’s just not something anyone could pull off.

【‘SeafoodBibimSauce’ donated 1,000 won.】

If the star of the story is watching this broadcast, please come forward.
“You guys are such a nuisance.”

She didn’t even tell me her nickname before she left, so it’s more likely that she’s watching from afar, just enjoying the stream. It’s better to mention her casually like this and move on.

【‘CosmoForever’ donated 10,000 won.】

What was she like?
“What was she like? Hmm… Well, she was a woman, and she was incredibly beautiful. She looked like a race I’d never seen before, almost like one of those superior beings from a comic.”

【ElephantYahHoo】 – There it is, typical nerd talk.

【WhiteWhale】 – What the heck are you talking about, you weeb?

【600YearOldGrannyPizza】 – Here comes the lie, lol.

These jerks…

They were fine with the story up until I mentioned that she was a beautiful woman. Now they’re dismissing the whole thing as nonsense. Unbelievable. Are they really just a bunch of hooligans?

【CosmoForever】 – Was she that beautiful?

“Ugh, absolutely. She was the kind of beauty I’d never have a chance to even hold hands with in my life. But it’s not just because she was beautiful; I was just happy that she was my fan…”

Not wanting to come off as too much of a simp, I added a little caveat at the end.

Of course, meeting such a beautiful fan did make me feel a bit happier, but ultimately, the real joy came from knowing that she was my fan.

【CosmoForever】 – I know, haha. I hope you get to meet her again.

As I nodded while reading the chairman’s comment, for some reason, it felt like that wish wasn’t really directed at me, making me feel a bit strange.

I wonder if I’ll meet her again.
