“The battery is almost dead… … . I can’t help it, I guess we’ll stop filming today!”

I guess it was because they had the hologram on and the speakers turned up loud.

After we all bought batteries, we realized that there was less than 20 percent of battery left in our cell phones.

With this much battery, I’ll probably be able to make a mini earphone for about 10 minutes before the phone dies. So I’ll stop making mini ears today.

I don’t make mini-earchers just to show off to other people. I do intend to make money with them, but mini-earchers are valuable in and of themselves.

Just, I filmed the process of making this together, and uploaded it with Jihyun, Saekmusae, and Hamshik hanging out together so that I could feel like I was with other people.

So, if possible, I would like to film the process of making the mini-ear and upload it.

There is a way to take a picture by plugging the charging cable into the phone. But wouldn’t a magpie or a hamster chew on the cable and break it?

He’s already a curious squirrel. He even flipped over a trash can once, got scolded by Jihyun, and had to put it back together.

Hamshik hasn’t done that yet, but…

“Ah, Hamshik. He’s robbing a bank and running away. The moment I said that, he passed the refrigerator and drifted! Gooo! Hamshik went under the chair!”

I’m having a blast riding my motorcycle with the wheels cleaned clean, and if anything gets in my way, Hamshik might just move the line.

But if you just leave your phone next to the outlet, it’s not like it’s a good angle to see the mini ear.

So I’m taking the day off today. If I had just bought batteries, I wouldn’t have known, but I’m exhausted because I even took a shower.

It might have been okay if Hamshik and I had just washed together. Hamshik shot the water gun with his mouth, but he is very quiet when he takes a bath.

But with Jihyun and Saekmusae added to the mix, I was so out of it I couldn’t tell if this was a shower or a war.

Jihyun should be getting used to her own body by now, but she couldn’t even open her eyes because she was a girl, so I had to wash her.

The magpie was quiet when I filled the sink with water and went in, but when I wet its feathers with water and got excited, it splashed water all over the place. How could it possibly be conscious?

“Ugh, I’m going to sleep. Wake me up when Na-rin comes.”

So this break is justified. I’ve done enough today!

But sleep is a strange thing. When I went to Na-rin’s company with her, I would feel sleepy as long as it was a little warm and I was full.

Even though I was lying on the floor with this tired body, I couldn’t sleep well.

“Keeek!”

“Ah, I’m mad! Hamshik is mad! Run away! Kkuek!”

It’s not because of the noise of the color changer and the hamster. Even at the company, it’s noisy because of people walking around, the sound of printers, and the clicking of mice and keyboards.

It’s not strange that Saekmoose flies away after being hit by Hamshik’s dropkick that received motorcycle propulsion. Saekmoose is supposed to fly.

I felt physically tired, but my mind was still clear. So I stopped lying down and got up.

I wondered where the one I hadn’t seen in a while had gone, and it turned out that Jihyun was bringing the blanket from our bed. It seemed like she was trying to cover me with that when I laid down.

“Jihyun, what do we do now? My phone battery is dead, so I have to plug it in there and charge it.”

“Um, well. Narin, should I call you?”

“It was okay to call you earlier because it was lunchtime, but I’m worried that if I call you now, you’ll be working hard and it might be bothering you.”

“That’s right. Hmm… … Then how about looking at the comments on YouTube videos? It would be good to refer to things like what subscribers would like to see.”

“Oh, that’s good!”

As expected, Jihyun is smart. There’s a reason she became a researcher.

In the end, I also made up my mind that I would be willing to accept the appearance of Hamsik, Saekmusae, and Jihyun in the video if it meant reviving the Min-ee-cheo channel.

If they do what the viewers want, the upward trend will definitely get steeper. Very good.

And we don’t have to choose a camera position, we just have to go next to the outlet and look at our phones.

“Hehehehe. Look, people are liking us. They think we’re cute.”

“That’s right.”

Jihyun blushed and didn’t know what to do because she was embarrassed by people’s compliments. When I see her like that, she seems more like a girl than me, so why does she insist that she was a guy?

Then there were some comments that stood out. Comments with amounts written next to them.

– You’re not speaking standard language: Mr. Min, is there no Hamshik in this video?

– (Private profile) N: We support the launch of a new channel!

– Runaway Youth: Ham-sik-ee is so delicious! Ham-sik-ee is worth the price of food!

– Chemical and biological disaster: Hehehe, it’s radiation!!

– Scissors Research Institute: I have to pay for the food for the cute Hamshik~~~~~

– Kim Ip-pari: Merry Christmas! I always enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for uploading the videos! Register your gift code and receive a gift…

– Prologue P: Thank you for always providing great videos! The transportation is so cute!

“Wow, is this all donations?”

I only looked at the comments a little bit when the video was uploaded, but when I scrolled down and looked, I found that there were more viewers who supported me than I thought.

Especially since Hamshik ate so much, there were many people who were grateful to Hamshik for paying for his meals.

Jihyun gave me serious advice while looking at such content.

“Yeah. But since Namin doesn’t really leave comments… … . It’s realistically difficult to respond to each and every comment since there are so many, but I think it’d be good to at least show my gratitude for these comments.”

“Jihyun is right. I should say thank you now! And with the donations that came in like this… … . Let’s buy some snacks! Hehehehe.”

All the fatigue I had just felt disappeared. The amount of money varies, but I am grateful that you even gave me this much support.

I was thinking that I should continue to work hard to make Min-i-cheo with the money I received, so I tried to buy snacks with the donation.

When I actually tried to do that, I had a problem withdrawing the donation. But it was a very minor problem. It’s something that can be found if you search for it!

That’s where the real problem started. You have to apply for monetization with your YouTube channel.

“Wait a minute, you can make money with a YouTube channel?”

“Didn’t you know? The more people watch it, the more money you make. Of course, the more people watch it, the more ads you’ll see, so you might make more money there too.”

“Ughh …

When Jihyun spoke as if she knew it all along, I slumped to the floor with my hands shaking.

My videos were already getting a lot of views. Doesn’t that mean I was missing out on that revenue?

I felt sick to my stomach, but I tried to calm myself down. Thinking of viewers as a source of income is just plain wrong.

Don’t lose your original intention and focus on making your own Min-eo-che. Yes, if you only focus on attracting people’s attention, the roles will be reversed and the quality of your Min-eo-che may decline.

But I don’t want to give up on making money from YouTube views… … . Also, if I focus on that, I don’t think I’ll be able to focus on Min-i-cheo… … .

As I was groaning and worrying like that, I suddenly realized that there was a very high-level person in front of me.

He knows more about YouTube than I do. He’s also smart enough to be a researcher. And he doesn’t have a job right now.

As I looked at her with eyes filled with longing, Jihyun hesitated and asked me.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that… … ?”

“Jihyun, would you like to be my YouTube manager?”

“Huh? Manager?”

“I’m uploading a video of me making Min-ee-cheo. People like it when you and Ham-shik and Saek-musae appear together. I’ll upload the video, so I wonder if Ji-hyun can take care of the other things.”

“Well, I’ve never done that before… … .”

Jihyun tried to take a step back awkwardly. But I also understood Jihyun’s feelings. Who would want to do something like this for free?

Fair compensation should be provided, of course. That’s why I readily made the suggestion.

“Jihyun takes 60% of the profits from the YouTube videos. And Hamshik, me, Saekmusae, and Nalin unnie each split 10%! Oh, I will take the Min-ee-cherry requests separately. Don’t worry, I will earn that and feed you, Nalin unnie, and me!”

Actually, it’s only 60%, but how many views will there be on YouTube? That’s what I thought when I said it out of kindness.

Narin also has a main job. Even if I were to say that it’s YouTube revenue, would I get 100,000 won a month? If I take 60% of that, it would be 60,000 won a month.

So I felt like I was kind of deceiving Jihyun. But I guess it doesn’t matter since I’m going to feed Min-ee anyway, right?

It’s okay if you just use the 60,000 won as pocket money, and if you need anything, I can buy it for you.

“I, really 60%… … ? No, you don’t have to give me that much. It’s something that Namin would do for you.”

Jihyun looked cold when she heard what I said, but it seemed like she was politely refusing me. So if I push it one more time, she’ll get over it.

“Hey, but unpaid labor is not allowed.”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Okay, everything is going according to my plan. Now our channel will become more famous thanks to Jihyun’s smart management, and we will receive more requests for Min-i-cherry.

Then, now that we’ve moved to a bigger place, and we’re all getting our own RC car… … No, what’s an RC car? We could be riding around in a drone!

A golden future is just around the corner. The thought of it already makes me smile.

Hamshik, who was passing by us on a motorcycle, saw me laughing like that, made a pitiful expression, made a squeaking sound, and ran away.

“Hey, Hamshik! Did you just sigh? Stop right there!”

Hamsik, riding his motorcycle, was moving away from me at a speed that I couldn’t keep up with.
