[Ah, yes. are you okay. I guess there were a lot of people worried about the sudden extended break. ]

For the first time in a while, I’m lying on the bed watching my sister’s broadcast.

This used to be my daily routine, but lately I’ve been going out of the house a lot.

It feels like a dream that I spent a lot of fun time with my real sister, not the one I see in the video.

[The editor and thumbnailer I work with went to see flowers together, right? It was really nice to go out after a long time. ]

As I talked about my outing, chatter started popping up in the chat window saying that they wanted to be an editor or a thumbnailer.

If it were in the past, I would be there too and say, ‘I want to be that editor..!’ I would have thought so.

Now that I really am the editor, I can’t help but feel very strange.

[I took a lot of pictures and had a lot of fun. huh? Want to see a photo? Oh, wait! ]

Photos taken by my sister alone.

So, I feel proud to see some of the photos I took selected and released.

[The picture came out good? This was taken by the editor. I heard you took pictures with all your heart and soul, hehe…]

She is someone who likes to chat with viewers for a while before starting a game, but today the topic of the outing has gotten longer, so it looks like she is going to chat longer than expected.

however..

[Uhm, anyway, I went home and slept. Maybe it’s because I went to bed a little late, but I’m tired. ]

I thought he seemed really happy until he talked about the outing, but when he talked about going home and sleeping, I felt like the tension was dropping drastically.

[So, everyone, don’t stay at home too much and go out often. Oh, of course, you still have to watch my broadcast, right? ]

However, other viewers did not seem to feel that way, so no other comments were made.

“What happened when you got home?”

They clearly seemed very happy until they parted ways, and when they returned and exchanged photos, no one seemed depressed.

“..Hmm.”

I’m worried, but since it’s on air right now, I can’t make a phone call.

[Sister, what’s going on? I’m worried because your expression seemed to be getting worse earlier. ]

After leaving a few messages, I just watch the broadcast.

***

After a series of hiatuses, Dayeon, who had a short broadcast due to her condition not being very good, ended the broadcast and found a text message from Dohyeon.

“..How did you know..?”

It wasn’t mentioned at all in the chat, and I thought he hid his feelings so well that even Eun-chae, who was the first to notice things like this, didn’t contact him.

Da-yeon couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when Do-hyeon contacted her like this.

“…”

Da-yeon, who was wondering whether to reply as if nothing had happened or tell her about what happened after returning home yesterday, bit her lip and thought about it before picking up her phone and starting to write a reply.

[Dohyun, can you come to the studio right now? ]

It wasn’t long after I sent that reply.

“Sister! I’m here!”

Since there was no reply, I was wondering if he was busy, but Dohyun, who thought that even having time to reply was a luxury, left right there and came to the studio.

“Huh? Ah, I thought you were busy since there was no reply..”

“Since it’s close anyway, I thought it would be better to just come right away rather than reply. So what’s going on?”

Being close to home definitely had these advantages.

I was feeling very frustrated, but I was also touched by Do-hyeon who came right away.

“Um, that’s it… Yesterday I came home and I received an email.”

Da-yeon started talking as Do-hyeon brewed the coffee he usually enjoyed.

“It was an email containing a photo and something else.”

“Photo?”

“Yes, it was a tip email.”

It’s a tip email.

Dayeon is not an information YouTuber who receives information and makes a video based on it.

That would have been a report about Dayeon or someone around her.

“It was about Park Woojin.”

“Park Woo-jin? Why did that kid do something?”

Do-hyeon frowned and asked, wondering if he had done something strange by selling Da-yeon’s name.

“No, that’s it.. that crazy bastard..”

Dayeon was not the type to swear often.

Even when I play games, I don’t use swear words, so people are attracted to that aspect.

The fact that she used profanity could mean that something really big had happened.

“They say you took pictures while working here?”

“…What? What, what kind of photo..?”

Dohyeon stuttered as Dayeon spoke with her forehead raised and a frown on her face.

“Voyeur. Me and Eunchae.”

“Aren’t you really crazy..?!”

Voyeurism was an obvious crime.

That meant that they had been keeping a criminal by their side all this time.

“..I didn’t take any strange photos, but I guess I just took some everyday photos. They say he sometimes took pictures of things like underpants. And it looks like he shared it with his friends..?”

Dayeon’s voice was trembling as she said she shared it with her friends.

Fortunately, there were no strange photos other than the occasional photo of her underpants, but she looked too shocked to accept that as a blessing.

It was natural.

Anyway, he was someone I trusted and kept by my side, and I knew he was acting out of character, but I never thought he would commit a crime so blatantly.

“One of those acquaintances gathered evidence of what Park Woojin did and sent it to me by email.”

Dayeon was trying to speak as calmly as possible, but her voice continued to tremble to a pitiful degree, and the hand holding the cup continued to tremble.

“Sister, it’s okay.. No, it can’t be okay.”

Do-hyeon was about to ask if he was okay when he saw that, but he clenched his fist.

‘You mean this crazy dog was doing something like that?’

I should have kicked them out a long time ago.

If only he had better skills, he could have done so.

Dohyeon felt dizzy and in pain.

“First of all, let’s report it since they said there was a picture of them in their underwear.”

The fact that he secretly took a photo that clearly exposed his body to anyone was a sufficient requirement for a crime to be established.

“..Yes, I already reported it. I organized all the evidence and handed it over.”

It seemed like he had already received the tip email and had gone to the police station before turning on the broadcast.

“Illegal filming is a very hot topic these days, so they say it will be properly punished.”

“Did you contact Park Woojin separately?”

It was clear that if I didn’t contact him, he would go to work tomorrow as if nothing had happened.

“He said he knew that the hidden camera was filmed and reported it. And I told him not to come to work.”

Dayeon, who had been thinking about cutting Park Woojin over and over again, but never thought it would end up like this, sighed heavily.

“No, how can you do something like that..? How can you do something like that and come to work and say hello so shamelessly?”

Dayeon bit her lip and muttered as if she didn’t understand at all.

“You may not be able to calm down, but calm down first. Criminal punishment aside, let’s think about what else we can do.”

Although it wasn’t as embarrassing as Dayeon, Dohyeon was also confused.

‘It would be good to know a little more about the law.’

I knew very little about the law, and it was even worse because I never even thought something like this would happen around me.

‘Wait a minute, didn’t you say that the daughter of the convenience store manager you worked at before was a lawyer?’

Do-hyeon’s eyes sparkled as a thought suddenly occurred to him, as he had often heard the store manager talk about his daughter, a lawyer, who he was proud of.

“Sister, wait a minute. I have something to call urgently.”

“Huh? Uh, okay. Come back.”

Do-hyeon quickly left his seat and dialed the manager’s number.

Turrr-

[Uh, Dohyun. What’s going on? ]

I heard a couple of beeps, and then I heard the store manager’s voice.

“Ah, manager! How have you been? yes yes. Oh, I’m doing well. Things are going well. Haha.”

After exchanging simple greetings and small talk, Do-hyeon lightly mentions what has just happened and asks questions such as whether he can get help from his lawyer’s daughter.

[Hey, man. I’m asking something like that. Of course I can help. My daughter also has a really good opinion of you, so she will immediately offer to help you. ]

Fortunately, the store manager gave a very positive answer, and Do-hyeon, who was nervous, was able to look a little relieved.

“Ah, thank you so much.”

[ done. Let’s eat some food next time. I’ll text you the contact information. I’ll tell you in advance, so please call around midnight. ]

“Yes, thank you!”

Still, Do-hyeon felt that he could provide some help, so he hurried inside to tell Dayeon the news.

“…sigh..”

I saw Dayeon shaking excessively, as if she couldn’t calm down.
