Chapter 43: Fan Service

“It’s nice to be out with you after a long time, Mom, isn’t it?”

The large shopping mall located near our house was full of people today as well.

‘Was it like this in my past life?’

I don’t know because I only wore the uniforms and MD hoodies that the team gave me back then.

Still, seeing my mother’s happy face next to me, it wasn’t bad.

‘Father will like it too.’

I told my father to stay at home so he could use his long-awaited vacation as free time.

He decorated my room as a complete gaming room, under the pretext that he didn’t know when I would come home to train.

He should be able to enjoy it on a day like this.

“Let’s go there too.”

Perhaps because there were no opportunities to go out together during the season, my mother seemed more excited than usual.

Just as the shopping bags were starting to fill both hands.

‘Huh?’

I saw a familiar face on the other side.

It was Choi Eunseo and a woman who looked like her bodyguard? Or driver?.

‘What to do.’

If it were any other situation, I would have spoken first, but my outfit now was dressed according to my mother’s taste.

I didn’t know what would happen if I showed this look to Choi Eunseo.

I was going to pretend I didn’t see her and pass by naturally, sorry for today.

“Oh? Isn’t that your friend over there?”

My mother grabbed my hand as I was taking the lead with quick steps, and at the same time, I made eye contact with Choi Eunseo.

“…Hello.”

After a brief silence.

“Wow, I didn’t recognize you because you look so different from what I usually see!”

As soon as Choi Eunseo saw me, she ran up with shining eyes.

“You look even prettier!”

“Thank you for saying that, but is it okay to not be with that person from earlier?”

“It’s okay because she’ll like resting alone more.”

I felt people’s gazes more intensely than before.

It wasn’t this much when my mother and I were walking together, but the gazes didn’t stop right after Choi Eunseo joined.

After thinking for a while, I could know the reason.

“The clothes over there are very pretty!”

“Do you think so?”

My mother was usually quite high-tension, but she hid it because my father and I had lukewarm reactions.

With Choi Eunseo added to that, it created a synergy in a strange way.

So, every time we entered a new store, I had a strange experience where the clothes increased by one, about 10 times before I could end the march of hell.

“Shall we take a break?”

My mother, who noticed that I was starting to run out of energy, pointed to a cafe next to us.

As I entered and sat down, I finally felt like I could live.

“Seoha always eats that chocolate thing, what will Eunseo drink?”

“I’ll have an Americano! Decaf!”

While my mother went to order, I asked Choi Eunseo.

“How do you know my mom?”

“You know, the VLL finals last time, I sat next to her and we became friends.”

All the invitation tickets for my parents and Choi Eunseo were under my name, so the seats must have been similar.

Still, it’s amazing that they became friends.

“Here, Americano and. Chocolate Frappe.”

“It came out so quickly?”

Usually, you have to wait when you order at a cafe, but my mother received the drinks almost at the same time as she ordered.

“This place always comes out quickly.”

I drank the Chocolate Frappe while listening to that answer.

‘Hmm…’

It wasn’t delicious, maybe because it’s a fast-paced place.

Or did my taste buds go up because I’ve tried it at most cafes?

Still, it wasn’t inedible, so I held the cup with both hands and sucked on the straw.

“By the way. Mother, have you been to the store above here? The clothes there are also very pretty.”

“Wouldn’t it be a bit much for an aunt to wear?”

“What do you mean aunt! You’re so pretty.”

While I was watching my mother and Choi Eunseo’s conversation while drinking the remaining drink.

“Excuse me…maybe.”

Someone next to me spoke.

I saw his face and he was the person who had been staring at me from the other side.

His breathing was also rough, and his face was strangely flushed.

I wondered if he was a weird person.

“A…are you Para by any chance?”

“I am, but…”

“I’m a really big fan, so could I get an autograph?”

I was frozen because it was my first time meeting a fan in real life, and the woman who seemed to be his girlfriend next to him added.

“Um…my boyfriend is a huge fan, he said he wanted an autograph, so he ran to the first floor to buy a pen and paper.”

I wondered why his breathing was so rough, and that was the reason.

‘This is not the time.’

I received a notebook that seemed to have been bought at a general store and gave a big signature.

With a star drawing that goes in as a highlight.

It’s a drawing I added because the signature was too plain, but I love it because it’s cute.

“Would you like to take a picture too?”

“Ah, yes!”

I got up from my seat and went next to the man, and his girlfriend took out her cell phone and prepared to take a picture.

“I’ve been watching since you appeared on Master’s Invitation, and I’ve watched all the CK games. I wanted to go to the promotion match, but I couldn’t because of my schedule.”

“Come and see LCK once with your girlfriend later. LoL Park facilities are good.”

“Yes!”

After taking a picture, the man bowed deeply and left the cafe.

Choi Eunseo, who was watching that, asked curiously.

“Do you just give fan service at times like this?”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t it difficult if you just do it in everyday life? If you become more famous later, people will always talk to you on the street.”

There’s a famous saying that applies to all sports.

If there are no fans, that job is a unproductive play.

This wasn’t much different for e-sports.

Rather, other sports can be excused as a hobby of training the body, but e-sports without fans is no exaggeration to say that it is just a game addict.

“And whether they were drawn to another person or spoke of their own will. They show courage.”

“87|?”

“Honestly, even if they saw me in a game, they’re a complete stranger, but it’s not easy to say, ‘Please take a picture with me, please give me an autograph.'”

“That’s true.”

“I think that a person who speaks courageously and refuses without reason lacks the qualities of a pro. Of course, if there are personal circumstances, there’s nothing you can do.”

When I shared my thoughts from my past life, my mother and Choi Eunseo looked at me as if they were amazed.

“Our daughter, you’re really cool.”

“A real pro is a pro.”

Title: I met Para on the street

(Para’s autograph)

I went to a cafe while dating my girlfriend, and someone came in

But when I looked at her face, it was Para, I really knew it as soon as I saw her

I was with my girlfriend, so I Worry a lot, but I talked to her, and she gave me an autograph and took a picture first

Sigh…ARK’s unreserved support…should I do it?

ㄴWow, ᄉᄇ, I want to meet her too

ㄴSo you have a girlfriend?

ㄴThis person was beaten by his girlfriend and passed away, please take down the post

ㄴTruly the GOAT of personality, GOAT of face…Great Seo Ha

ㄴTalking to Para in front of your girlfriend ᄏᄏᄏᄏ You won’t go far~

The next day, as soon as I ate lunch, I turned on the broadcast.

I’ve been resting well so far, so I was going to keep broadcasting during the remaining vacation period.

[Seoha~]

[Wow, the streamer has become successful]

[Who are we? Viewers of the youngest LCK debut monster rookie ‘Para’]

[Long time no see~]

[I almost froze to death]

“It’s been a while everyone. Have you been well?”

[How can we be well when someone isn’t streaming?]

[ᄋ]

[Ah ᄏᄏᄏ, if you go to the official CK channel, they show the streamer’s face in high definition, you know?]

[ㄴI can’t watch it because my eyes will rot if I watch the play there…]

The number of viewers was also maintained between 8,000 and 9,000, and the atmosphere was also good.

Now what to do.

“Then I’ll do solo queue now.”

[?????]

[?]

[This is driving me crazy]

[This guy just likes solo queue ᄋ]

“No…it’s been changed back to the December season end from this year, and shouldn’t we start running?”

[No, you’ve already debuted, so what’s the point of ranking first? (I really don’t know)]

[Because that’s the romance…]

[Just go save the poor Yeti who’s wandering around in Diamond]

{ᄋᄋ-nim donated 1000 won}

Solo queue is good, but aren’t you going to go to Han Byeol’s rescue team? I heard you made some kind of promise with the streamer

“Ah, I think I did.”

[Breaking news. Han Byeol broke through 1500 games this season]

[Hanbyeolchon is currently a pathway where everyone meets because of an MMR bug]

[Just do some Just Chatting…]

It was clear that I had made a promise to duo with Han Byeol in exchange for her being a team streamer.

Thinking about that, I remembered that the team asked me to do an event.

“Oh right. That’s not important.”

First of all, I changed the title of the stream.

(ARK uniform auction is in progress)

[What’s with the title change?]

[What event are you doing?]

[Wow]

[Gimme, it’s mine.]

“This time, to commemorate the team’s promotion, the team said they’re selling the actual uniforms worn in the promotion match by auction?”

Of course, it wasn’t a short-sleeved uniform because I wore it, it was a jacket uniform.

All proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity, and it was decided to use the auction function of a fairly popular used trading platform.

Why am I doing this event on my stream?

It was because of the manager’s story that the participation rate would be low if it was done on the team’s website.

[Wow, the actual one]

[ᄅᄋ? It’s the actual one?]

[Let’s go~]

[I think I’ve been scrounging money for this day, don’t you think?]

So the auction started.

And I could see people’s madness.
