Chapter 107: Small Hobbies, Part 1

–100 points. Men like big breasts, and I have big breasts. Therefore, I think the virtual character should also use the chest as a weapon to increase viewer immersion, making them think, ‘Wow, those breasts actually exist in real life?’ when I use a semi-cam.

Her confidence was almost comical.

Jo A-young knew her strengths all too well.

“Just in case, do you have plans for a semi-cam included in this PPT?”

–Of course. If you look at this page…

[Jo A-young is more than just breasts; the key is the breasts.]

Along with a self-deprecating paragraph, her semi-cam proposal was included.

–The first semi-cam stream will be on February 14, 2023. Valentine’s Day, right? I’m thinking of a cooking stream. I’ll make chocolates.

“Oh…”

Valentine’s Day.

It was a perfect excuse for a semi-cam.

After her debut, she would attract a lot of viewers through collaborations with Hong Seo-hyun, but this would compensate her individual stream viewers who might feel slightly neglected. A Valentine’s Day semi-cam stream.

Moreover, what if the chest appearing in that semi-cam stream was an I-cup?

Any lingering resentment would vanish, and she’d attract a huge influx of viewers.

–And if we debut at AGC on the first weekend of December, as you said, the actual start date of our individual streams will be December 5th, right?

“Right.”

–Exactly 100 days from then is White Day, March 14th. On that day, I’ll do a chocolate mukbang. Handmade chocolates from fans would be good, or store-bought chocolates would work too. Anyway, I’ll eat them and let the chocolate powder fall gently on my white clothes.

“On your chest while wearing white?”

–Yes, on my I-cup chest while wearing white.

“Wow…”

Honestly, Hayoon was impressed just hearing this much.

This woman knew her weapons too well.

She was like a nine-tailed fox.

However…

“If you’re serious about this plan, make all your social media private and delete all your photos online, especially those showing your chest.”

–Oh, don’t worry about that. I’ve only been using things like Instagram as messengers for a while now.

“Oh, why?”

Hayoon thought someone this cunning would want to show off even more…

–When I was in middle school, I posted a picture with my friends, and someone sent me a picture of their
through DM. I was an E-cup back then. They must have been really desperate.

“Ah, ahaha…”

–That’s why I don’t post pictures online anymore. I think my face is ordinary, but these breasts keep attracting unwanted attention.

Hayoon’s head dropped at the unexpectedly sobering backstory.

–But well, now I can use them to captivate viewers, so I guess it all worked out…

With this, Hayoon had a general grasp of Jo A-young’s desired broadcasting style.

Jo A-young took Vtubing seriously as a job.

She seemed to accept some level of self-exposure.

Since she hadn’t shared any personal information online, she seemed to feel safe.

However…

“Still, it’s better to be careful. Vtubers’ personal information can be easily leaked, and your chest isn’t exactly ordinary.”

–What if it’s not ordinary?

“You know… they’re incredibly large and visually stimulating, so they’ll attract attention, and some obsessive people might glare at any woman with similar breasts on the street, wondering, ‘Is that her? Is that her?’”

–Ah, that could definitely happen…

It was different from other sizes.

Even a D-cup, which a few girls in each grade might have, was different. An I-cup was on another level.

Frankly, there might not even be many I-cups in Seoul, so if she was too careless, online detectives would dig up her personal information.

Perhaps, on some dark corner of the internet, a picture of an unsuspecting I-cup woman walking down the street might be uploaded with the caption, “Is this Vtuber Jo A-young’s real identity?”

–Ugh, how can I be a Vtuber if it’s this scary?

“It’s just that it’s better to be safe… Be careful…”

–Yes, if I get popular, I’ll have to bundle up when I go out and only relax at the studio and at home.

“We’ll do our best to help you with protecting your identity. Once you’re established, we’ll reduce semi-cam streams to maybe an annual event.”

–Yes, I think that would be best.

After that, they discussed content coordination and character design.

Since Jo A-young didn’t seem to have much sense in this area, there were many aspects of the design that needed improvement.

Despite some commotion, the RPs for Baek-seol and Jo A-young were largely established.

First, in Baek-seol’s case, they decided to use the original concept she brought, and she would become Vtuber Shiro Yuki…

In Jo A-young’s case, despite her objections, she ended up as a 999-year-old witch who was hysterical about her age.

A large-breasted witch with white hair and bronze skin.

“What do you think?”

“The illustrations are amazing, how did you manage to create these?”

Around February, Hayoon finished drawing all the illustrations that would serve as the base for the two Vtubers’ avatars.

By reducing other schedules, she was able to complete the illustrations faster and with higher quality than expected.

Even Choi Arin was impressed, saying she felt motivated to work on the rigging.

“It’s definitely more fun to work with illustrations like these, right?”

“Of course, low-quality illustrations have messed up anatomy, so working with them is a pain. But your illustrations have perfect anatomy, right? They’re pretty, and there’s nothing to complain about.”

“Then I should make a lot more illustrations for you to work with. It’s almost time to make a new outfit for Scarlet.”

“Ah…”

“Why? Do you not want to work?”

“There’s a difference between something being doable and wanting to do it…”

Of course, even if the work Hayoon provided was decent, there weren’t many office workers who loved working.

Choi Arin was no exception, and she focused on completing the current task, dreading the upcoming workload.

And so, as she finished her work for the day and was about to head home…

“Next week is your graduation ceremony. Should I buy you flowers?”

“Wh-What…?”

Hayoon whispered, suddenly appearing beside her.

“Wh-What flowers? We’re not family…”

“Hmm, that’s true. If you don’t want them, I’ll go ask Hong Seo-hyun.”

Startled, Choi Arin turned around and refused. Hayoon simply acknowledged and left the studio.

It seemed she was planning to ask Hong Seo-hyun, who was probably about to go to the bathroom, but…

“Ah, no… Then I won’t have any…”

She had just refused out of surprise…

Choi Arin felt uneasy, wondering if she should follow Hayoon and take it back.

Her parents weren’t the type to come to her graduation ceremony.

She didn’t have any friends to take pictures with either, so Hayoon would have to come and take pictures with her…

Flowers seemed like a good idea after all.

“H-Hayoon…”

In the end, Choi Arin immediately went back on her words and followed Hayoon.

She was easily swayed by Hayoon.

February.

The month that concludes before the start of March.

If December marked the end of the year, February marked the end of the school year.

Hayoon’s closing ceremony was scheduled for the afternoon, separate from the graduation ceremony in the morning, so she could have gone to school a bit later. However, she went early to attend Choi Arin and Hong Seo-hyun’s graduation.

“Student! Graduating? Buy flowers. Flowers. You need them for pictures.”

“Yes, I should.”

A flower vendor had set up a stall in front of the school gate.

The prices felt a bit inflated, like a seasonal price gouge, but Hayoon wasn’t so broke that she had to worry about money for this, so she readily opened her wallet.

“Our school uniform is dark, so white flowers would be good. What…”

“White flowers? Take lilies, lilies. These are the freshest.”

“Lilies? Sure…”

Hayoon bought two bouquets of lilies as the vendor recommended.

One for Choi Arin, and one for Hong Seo-hyun…

“When will this be over…”

Hayoon felt a pang of boredom listening to the principal’s endless graduation speech.

“Haa… Is it over…?”

“Come here.”

Choi Arin, who also seemed to have been bored and waiting for it to end, emerged from the auditorium after the graduation ceremony.

Hayoon quickly grabbed Choi Arin and led her down to the gym in the basement.

No one would be in the gym on a day like this.

“These are the flowers I promised you last week.”

“Hehe…”

“Congratulations on your graduation.”

In a private space, Hayoon congratulated Choi Arin and gave her the flowers.

Then, they took pictures in front of the full-length mirror outside the gym.

“Let’s take them here.”

“Okay, hehe…”

It was a good spot for taking pictures, with its clean interior and a hallway popular among female students as the “Workout Complete Photo Zone.”

Since there was no workout equipment in sight, it seemed like a decent place for graduation selfies.

Hayoon put her arm around Choi Arin’s waist, who looked slightly shy, and took a few pictures. She casually moved her hand down from Choi Arin’s waist and playfully groped her butt while taking pictures.

–Click.

–Click.

It was quite amusing how Choi Arin struggled to maintain her composure every time Hayoon squeezed her with each click of the shutter.

Finally, Hayoon slightly turned Choi Arin’s head and touched her lips to her cheek.

–Click.

One more picture to cherish for a lifetime, completing their private graduation album.

“Okay, I’ll go give Hong Seo-hyun her flowers now. See you later in the club room.”

Then, Hayoon left Choi Arin alone and hurried up the stairs.

“Hng…”

Left alone, Choi Arin’s legs gave way, and she collapsed in front of the full-length mirror.

Her face, reflected in the mirror, was flushed crimson, and a dampness could be felt beneath her skirt.
