Chapter 9: In the future, i decided to upload a video on youtube.

‘I wish I could edit, but looking at the results of my three hours of editing, that seems difficult.’

‘Ultimately, I need to find an editor, and after a quick glance at editor recruitment sites, the industry average is 10,000 won per minute…’

‘10,000 won…’

‘I just want to upload them to YouTube while I’m broadcasting anyway.’

‘At this rate, the cost will outweigh the benefit.’

‘It’s like taking out a loan just to start a side hustle.’

‘This won’t do.’

‘As I pondered deeply, a good idea suddenly popped into my head.’

‘What if I just leave it to my viewers?’

‘Even if their skills are lacking, they’ll know me and my broadcast well…’

‘And won’t they work hard even without pay?’

‘Yes, this is it.’

‘I put down my phone and rushed to my computer.’

Tap, tap, tap.

‘I logged into the streaming platform, went to the community tab, and wrote a new announcement.’

‘Now, after a good night’s sleep, I’m sure my inbox will be flooded with emails.’

‘I lay down on the bed and pulled the blanket over me.’

“Mmm… I slept well.”

‘?’

‘What, it’s just spam emails.’

‘Where are the editor-related emails?’

‘Feeling deflated,’

‘I scrolled down my inbox, searching, and found a few editor application emails.’

‘13.’

‘Out of those, 9 were sent just for trolling, and only 4 were serious applications.’

‘I clicked on the email from the first applicant.’

****

[Hello! I’m applying for the editor position, unnie!]

(YouTube video of a slime squishing and telling a story)

‘How is it?’

****

‘…Sorry, but you’re out.’

‘Why is such a young kid watching my broadcast?’

‘Second one.’

****

[I’m a loyal viewer!]

‘I haven’t edited before, but I can learn starting now!’

‘I’ll do it for free!’

****

‘The passion is good, but you’re out.’

‘Why are they all like this?’

‘Can’t I find a cute editor with good skills, passion, and good sense, who isn’t after money?’

‘…Third one.’

****

[Hello. I’m applying for the editor position.]

‘I have extensive experience editing videos for other streamers.’

‘Below are the videos I’ve edited.’

(YouTube video of a famous streamer)

****

‘Oh.’

‘Should I go with this person?’

‘Looking at the edited videos, their skills seem very good.’

‘They capture the key points very well.’

‘Just as I was about to send the acceptance email, I noticed the text written at the end of the email.’

‘‘Based on edited footage, it’s 30,000 won per minute.’’

‘What?’

‘No, if I was going to pay that price, I would have just found someone on an editor recruitment site.’

‘You’re out too.’

‘Was it wrong of me to try and get free labor from the start…’

‘Thinking, ‘Should I say I’ll pay a little in the next announcement?’ I clicked on the last email without much expectation.’

****

[I’m applying for the editor position!]

‘I’m a high school student who edits videos as a hobby!’

‘I started watching you because you’re cute.’

‘Here’s my YouTube link!’

‘And of course, I can do it unpaid!’

****

‘I clicked the attached link in the email and watched a few videos.’

‘Streamer clips, game highlight reels, music video edits, etc… They seem to do a lot of different things, and their skills aren’t bad.’

‘It’s clean without unnecessary additions, and there’s nothing particularly jarring.’

‘Most importantly, the last sentence really appealed to me.’

‘I can do it unpaid.’

‘What a great attitude.’

‘You’re hired.’

‘I sent an acceptance email to the fourth applicant.’

‘Along with a KakaoTalk link.’

‘About 10 minutes later, a KakaoTalk message arrived.’

– Yu Yerim: [Hello!!!]

– Yu Yerim: [Did I really get accepted?]

– Me: [Yup]

‘Yu Yerim.’

‘Is she a girl?’

‘I checked her profile picture and saw a doll from Red Save.’

– Me: [Do you like Rese?]

– Yu Yerim: [Yes!!!]

– Yu Yerim: [The characters are cute, you know.]

– Yu Yerim: [Like you.]

‘I slightly spat out the cola I was drinking.’

Pfft.

‘I coughed and sent a reply.’

– Me: [Thx]

– Yu Yerim: [LOL]

‘As we talked, the topic of where she lived came up.’

‘Coincidentally, they were both in the same area.’

‘What’s more, it was a very close apartment, only about a 10-minute drive away.’

– Yu Yerim: [You]

– Yu Yerim: [Want to just meet up and talk?]

– Me: [What?!]

‘I was a bit surprised, but there was no harm in it, right?’

‘I was curious about what she looked like anyway.’

– Me: [Okay.]

‘We decided to meet at the cafe in front of my house, and I got dressed.’

‘A comfortable hoodie and a pair of comfortable pants.’

‘As I waited, sipping an iced tea at the cafe, a booming voice rang out.’

“Hello!!! Unnie!!!”

‘The people in the cafe startled and looked towards the door.’

‘Including me, of course.’

‘Towards the door they looked at, there was a girl with pink twin-tail hair, dressed in a school uniform.’

‘Waving her hand towards me.’

‘Uh… Could that possibly be Yu Yerim?’
