‘The transmission has indeed started now.’

I checked once more if the screen was coming out well and sat in place.

Soon people began to enter.

Because there was a bit of delay, I purposefully waited a bit and once comments began to appear, I gave a greeting.

“Hello. Um, it seems like the first time I’m sending a video out personally on the internet like this… since that PR live.”

I purposefully spoke slowly while observing the delayed reaction. The comments were full of hearts, greetings, and aggro.

‘It’ll be hard to read yet.’

I continued the introduction.

“I pondered about what to do… because I was nervous. For now, I’ve prepared something familiar to each other.”

I slightly manipulated the angle of the smartphone and lowered it.

“Today… ta-da.”

The camera showed the table in front of me. Today’s menu, rice wraps, was visible.

“I’ve prepared a content where we eat…… together.”

I lifted my utensils.

“Then I will eat well.”

And I put one wrap I had pre-wrapped into my mouth. Hmm, it was the taste of stir-fried spicy pork.

‘It’s okay.’

Since it was the first broadcast, I felt a prick of conscience to compose it with just delivery food so I tried making it, and it was rather better because it was a familiar taste and easy to eat.

‘Let’s pay attention to the audio.’

After chewing and swallowing all the food in my mouth, I continued the small talk.

“I purposefully came at around dinner time, but if you have other schedules, later… if you turn it on and watch while you eat,”

-Camera angle!!
-I can’t see the eyes
-Oppa, the camera please ㅠㅠ
-He already started eating

“Ah.”

When I checked the smartphone again, the angle had lowered to the extent that my eyes were barely visible, perhaps because of a fixation problem.

‘Isn’t this much okay…?’

It seemed like there would be no problem showing the eating content, but since they said they hated it, I adjusted the stand and moved the smartphone back slightly.

“Just a moment.”

I turned the stand to fix it more firmly, then tapped the smartphone.

“I think it’s done, how about it?”

As I waited calmly, answers began to mix in the comments. I quickly caught only the ones I could read.

-Wuaaa
-My idol is catching and shaking me
-Park Moondae’s collarbone is a straight line
-I see well
-Good
-I like it

“It seems it turned out well.”

Seeing the comments reacting to me shaking the smartphone, it really felt like the inside was filled with tiny people.

‘Quite fun.’

I chuckled and sat back in the chair and began to eat again. And I picked appropriate comments and answered in between.

“Whether it’s a menu I like? Um… since I like anything that’s objectively delicious if possible. For now, the taste is okay.”

“…’Did you order delivery?’, no. I just made it myself.”

Come to think of it, lately there hasn’t been much to cook.

Because schedules were busy, it was mostly a case of just buying and eating. Honestly, that side was much more comfortable.

-Are you good at cooking?
-I also want to eat ㅠㅠ
-I entered because they said Chicken Feet Guy is doing a mukbang
-How did you make it?
-Heol homemade
-Explain the taste ㅠㅠ

Oh, the reaction was unexpectedly fierce.

“I see people saying they want to eat it, so I’ll try uploading at least a simple recipe on our account once the broadcast ends. Um, but since there’s no special secret… won’t it be… not much different from what you usually eat.”

I put a new wrap into my mouth. It was a bulgogi taste.

“And a detailed taste explanation is… the meat with sweet seasoning and rice match well, and while the wrap sauce gives a slightly stimulating taste, the lettuce finishes it refreshingly.”

I continued checking the comments with my eyes.

‘There are more foreign languages than expected.’

-PARK MOONDAE I love you ♡
-No eng sub?
-hello (smiling emoticon)
-is it mukbang?
-did you got KIMCHI refrigerator?

I thought they’ve luckily found even an individual broadcast of a group that just debuted. Idol Inc. did say something like a global launch, but seeing that I haven’t seen a single media play article saying it caused a stir abroad, it didn’t seem like that effect.

‘Did they know as a bonus because activities overlapped with VTIC.’

Or it might be thanks to the swamp of the WeTube algorithm. Anyway, it was quite amazing.

“Ah, kimchi refrigerator. I haven’t received it yet. I’m just waiting comfortably thinking they’ll give it when it’s time to give.”

I continued the meal afterwards while continuing to answer appropriate questions, but unexpectedly it was difficult to select this ‘appropriate question’.

Because there were quite a few cases where only foreign languages and aggro were rampant even after looking in for about a minute.

-No fun
-Eat a lot!
-Ah of all things Gom-meo
-Park Moondae doing it with a phone?
-Something is moving in the back
-Change the filter

Hmm, I caught barely one worth answering among the aggros thrown randomly.

“Ah, this is a company phone. Mine is here.”

I brought the old smartphone I had thrown appropriately and shook it in front of the camera.

And of all things, at that moment a talk came.

Buzzing-

[VTIC Cheongryeo Sunbaenim]

“…….”

The timing was like shit.

At least it’s fortunate that I set it so the content doesn’t appear in the popup.

-Cheongryeo
-Heol VTIC
-Are you close?
-Ugh I hate it

Looking at the comments, it was already all caught. I quickly organized the situation.

“Ah, I’m occasionally exchanging greetings with the sunbaenim since .”

Will I be caught by a flaw on the VTIC side and be bashed if I don’t reply right now?

However, since it seemed like it might also be an attitude controversy during the first W-Live if I reply, let’s ask for understanding first.

“Since I saw it for now, would it be okay if I give a short reply.”

-You don’t have to ask permission ㅠㅠ
-Yeah yeah
-Show the content
-What are you sending?
-Are you close?

‘I’m going crazy.’

I quickly checked the talk content. It was just small talk related to work. After answering something like ‘Yes, I understand’ I quickly turned it off.

‘I have to change the subject.’

I had something prepared just in time.

I immediately found an appropriate comment. It was a question that had been coming in steadily since turning on the broadcast.

-Where are the other members?

“Um, there are many people asking about the other members. Some are in the middle of schedules, and some are at home. Just a moment.”

I immediately got up and left the camera’s field of view.

And I went outside the room door and brought in the person who was already waiting in the living room.

“I’ve brought a friend who was at home.”

“A-Ah, hello…!”

It was Seon Ahyun who was shouting with his whole body, ‘I’ve made a big decision’.

After receiving counseling for about two to three weeks, it seemed he gained a bit of courage and decided to appear.

However, since he said he doesn’t have the nerve to appear for long yet, I configured it for now to be in a way of being here for a moment in the middle and then leaving.

Fortunately, the comment reaction was good.

-Heol Seon Ahyun-ie
-Welcome Deer ㅠㅠ
-I love you
-No Ryu Chungwoo oppa?
-Call Cha Yujin-ie

Whether a few rejection reactions were better than expected, Seon Ahyun’s complexion was quite stable. Seon Ahyun waved his hand to the smartphone with a slightly flushed face.

“H-How has everyone… b-been?”

But because of the delayed comment time, the content Seon Ahyun could see was mainly ‘face is crazy;’ level.

“It seems everyone is doing well. Seon Ahyun-ssi, what have you been doing lately?”

“Ah! I, I learned k-knitting…! Sh-shall I show you?”

“That would be good.”

Clatter. Seon Ahyun immediately ran to his room. I asked the camera.

“…Could you please clap a lot if that guy holds something out? Because he just learned and is in a period of liking it a lot.”

Then they’ll probably upload a lot even if it’s because it’s funny.

“Th-This is it…!”

Seon Ahyun returned with lightning speed, then promptly held out some colorful objects to the smartphone.

They were dishcloths. He had knitted them by type, from bread to strawberries.

And as requested, people began to push the comments with clap emoticons as soon as Seon Ahyun returned to view.

“Ah… th-thank you!”

Seon Ahyun, not even knowing that people who hadn’t even seen the dishcloths yet because of the delay were clapping, became radiant and bowed his head.

‘Is this much enough.’

If left longer, a malicious comment of a trauma-inducing level that appeared at an unexpected timing might smash Seon Ahyun’s mental state, so I thought it would be okay to send him away now.

But Seon Ahyun, perhaps having gained confidence, sat in front of the table and began to give explanations about the dishcloths.

“I… k-knitted the bread first, so the shape is a bit strange, but I think the s-strawberry was made well.”

Just as I was about to think it’s also ambiguous to stop him, someone knocked on the room door.

And the door opened abruptly, and someone walked in.

“Park Moondae-ssi~ A report came in that you’re continuing even though the 10-minute PR mukbang is over~”

It was Lee Sejin.

“I’ll let it slide if you give me one rice wrap~”

“I also rice wrap!”

Behind him, Cha Yujin entered with his hand raised. No matter who looked at it, they were guys who intruded while watching the broadcast.

‘……Surely there must be meat left in the frying pan as it is.’

The reason they came here even though they could eat it if they just went to the kitchen was only for the purpose of the W-Live intrusion.

And in an instant, the room became noisy.

“Heol! This is really delicious.”

“I made a lot of meat in the kitchen so eat it.”

“No, it seems more delicious because it’s in a form pre-wrapped with sincerity for this broadcast.”

“Best!”

Cha Yujin held up his thumb like a typical eating variety show guest. And he began to recommend rice wraps to Seon Ahyun as well.

Seon Ahyun started to look at others’ faces whether he wanted to eat but felt sorry. A headache rushed in.

“…Eat comfortably.”

“Ye, yes!”

“Hyung, can I eat a lot too?”

“Do as you want.”

“Yeap!”

I said to the camera while watching the rice wraps being destroyed in an instant.

“…Next time I will come…… after preparing a more generous amount.”

The comments were in a frenzy because of laughing. I was glad if I even gave laughter.

“Since the rice wraps have run out… I will try to finish today’s mukbang now.”

Instead, just as I was trying to think of an appropriate content whether it’s question time or whatever, Lee Sejin who finished one wrap and dusted his hands shook his hand.

“Eh? Hey, don’t do that and we’ll just wrap the rice wraps for you right now!”

“……!”

…So for the next 20 minutes, I did a broadcast of wrapping rice wraps after moving the smartphone to the kitchen.

“Cha Yujin, just how many lettuces did you use??”

“Th-The wrap is as big as a face….”

And a little later, even the remaining three who had been to the hospital because of a health checkup joined.

“What is everyone doing?”

“Hyung! Try eating this!”

Eventually, I only turned off the W-Live after feeding the guys who joined and hearing their tasting reviews.

I wondered what on earth this situation was, but seeing that the viewer count came out well, I can’t deny that it was interesting content…….

‘…But I couldn’t say the words I originally intended to say.’

It was a side effect that occurred as the broadcast flowed as it went while being pirated by the guys who intruded.

I turned on SNS instead. As a result of briefly looking over the internet in that process, the reaction was quite good.

-I clearly clicked a mukbang but when I came to my senses I was watching the Best Rice Wrap Competition Under Heaven
-The Chicken Feet video ghosts rushed over in excitement after seeing today’s W-Live appeared
-Ah if he did it on WeTube, Chicken Feet Guy could easily rename to Rice Wrap Guy from now on ㅋㅋㅋ
-Park Moondae whose rice wrap was snatched (captured photo)

‘Is this much successful?’

I shrugged my shoulders and wrote down the promised short recipe for the wrap meat as a new post.

And I uploaded it with an additional phrase.

[+ We’ve started preparing for the new album.]

For reference, I received the kimchi refrigerator mentioned on this day at the dormitory immediately two days later.
