I Became the Eldest Daughter of 10 Siblings

Chapter 31 - A Rare Treasure or an Ominous Monster? (4)



To exaggerate a little,
The fanfare sound was more pleasant to hear than the chirping of a paradise flycatcher.
No matter how money-crazy I am, beyond money, it really felt like an angel’s trumpet saving me.
‘Hyun Junho’ donated 500,000 won!
-Subtract from undressing gggg
‘Manager Mio’ donated 500,000 won!
-Don’t do it outdoooor broadcast
…Such good kids.
They were in such a hurry that they both made typos.
They may not have ridden white horses or worn capes, but in this moment, the two looked like heroes to me.
The worry that had been swelling up like cotton candy melted away like snow.
“…Our Junho-nim boldly subtracted 500,000 won to say don’t do such a lowly map!”
Really, you. I absolutely, absolutely have to make you win.
“And our manager Mio generously donated 500,000 won for an outdoor broadcast, saying ‘Oh no, noona, don’t do that kind of thing!'”
-Ruining the broadcast fck
-Red Guard bastards lol
-Sweet guy level…
-Fcking hell that’s why you only get runner-up
-Hyun Junho please get eliminated;;;
-Manager, you’re biased
-Pussy guards fck
The viewers were going wild like chimpanzees clutching prison bars.
I felt it again. How precarious of a tightrope walk internet broadcasting is.
I had vowed to have the viewers wrapped around my finger, but when I came to my senses, I was the one being yanked around by my hair.
…Really.
Every single word feels like walking on thin ice.
They say one word can pay off a thousand nyang debt, but in this field, I keenly felt that one word could plunge you into a thousand nyang debt.
I counted down the final countdown.
“Three- Two- One-, Zero! Ah, so HaYoo’s afternoon broadcast is settled as an outdoor broadcast!”
I wiped the cold sweat from the back of my hand.
Somehow, I had a feeling that today was going to be a long day.
“Viewers, I’ll need some time to prepare, so please wait a moment.”
I left the room and went to the living room. PD Kim Hwachang was sprawled on the living room sofa, stuck like a melted candle.
“PD-nim. Where are our kids?”
“…I barely managed to send them up to the second floor.”
He said while catching his rough breath.
“Why are your siblings so energetic? Looks like they could chew through rebar. My back is killing me from filming, man.”
“That’s funny. You’re complaining about that? That was my entire daily life. Anyway, get ready to go out.”
At my words, Kim Hwachang got up with wide eyes.
“…I thought you were broadcasting from inside?!”
“My manager said to do an outdoor broadcast.”
Kim Hwachang grumbled with a displeased expression.
“I thought I could finally rest, but what kind of bolt from the blue is this because of your manager?”
But, wait a minute.
Both Kim Hwachang and my manager Mio are in the same guild.
“Don’t you know who my manager is?”
“How would I know your manager?”
“It’s Mio. Mio, the guild member.”
“Ah, Moon Jaehyun?! He’s your manager? Haha, what a coincidence.”
Kim Hwachang laughed a low laugh through his nose, finding it interesting.
And,
A new question sprouted in my mind.
Then……
Who is the Guild Master, Cheonma?
Cheonma, who uses strange martial arts novel speech and thoroughly hides himself while wearing a mask.
Suddenly, I became very curious and quickly asked Kim Hwachang.
“Do you know who Cheonma is by any chance?”
At my question, Kim Hwachang licked his lips and avoided my eyes.
“…Huh? No.”
His reaction is too suspicious.
I interrogated Kim Hwachang again with half-closed eyes.
“You seem to know. Tell me honestly. Man or woman? 20s or 30s?”
Kim Hwachang scratched the back of his head and said in a voice like a sigh.
“Han Yujin. That’s not someone you should carelessly pry into. It’s not time for you to know yet either.”
“Is he a black ops agent for the National Intelligence Service or what? Hurry up and tell me too.”
When I persistently asked, he waved his hand as if to shoo me away.
“Have you heard this saying? Predestined encounter. All relationships have their time. If you do well, you’ll surely meet when the time is right, so don’t be too obsessed.”
“…Acting all high and mighty, fine I get it.”
I said that, but my inner thoughts moved in the opposite direction of my words.
Who could it be that they’re hiding like this?
I’m going crazy with curiosity.
It feels like Pandora from Greek mythology has entered my heart. Pandora who ends up opening the box out of curiosity about what’s inside.
I turned my head to look at Kim Hwachang.
He was deeply lost in thought, staring at the turned-off television.
*
Through the bare tree branches, I could feel the early winter. The cold wind swept through the frozen streets. The chilly air brushed against my skin and entered my lungs.
It was cold.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“…I’m cold.”
It was a mistake to come out in light clothing as if going for a neighborhood stroll.
Three-striped slippers, shorts, and a short padded jacket.
My upper body was reasonably warm, but my lower body was the fatal flaw.
Ugh, I’m freezing to death.
Suddenly, PD Kim Hwachang, holding the camera next to me, said in a heated voice.
“Mio, are you listening? It’s your Hwachang hyung!”
-?
-?
-What’s he saying
-Were they acquainted before
-Has the PD finally lost it
-Mio: Huh? Hi hyung lololol
They warmly welcome each other as if at a separated family reunion.
I said.
“You two can greet each other later. Everyone, this is my first time doing a proper outdoor broadcast, so please understand if it’s not entertaining.”
-We should’ve done GalWar fck
-This bitch is already making excuses;;;
-Retreat today, predicting a disaster
-She’s followed by the fun ghost so I’m looking forward to it lol
-You guys chose the outdoor broadcast, endure it with grit
I wandered aimlessly around the neighborhood. At first, I felt embarrassed holding the camera, but as time passed, I gradually became indifferent.
“This is bad. The content is about to fail. What should I do? Hurry up and give me some suggestions!”
As I was racking my brain,
Loud voices were heard from across the street.
“You bastard, really!”
“Why do you keep calling me bastard!”
As I approached, I saw elderly men who seemed to have had a few daytime drinks grappling with each other, their faces flushed.
They were grabbing each other’s collars, in an explosive situation as if they might fight at any moment.
I asked the viewers with a grim expression.
“…Guys, what should I do about this? Ignore it?”
-Go go
-Let’s sort out the situation
-We should stop them
-Just go lol
-This is broadcasting material
-Sigh,,,
-What are those old men doing?
-They’re drunk
‘Daddy Bird’ donated 1,000 won!
-If you stop them, 100,000 won! Han Yujin fighting
Whatever, I’ll just dive in trying to do a good deed.
I approached the old men with a gentle smile.
“Hey, fathers! Let go of each other first and resolve this through conversation. I’ll mediate for you.”
Then the shorter old man asked with an excited expression.
“Who are you, young lady?”
How should I answer?
It doesn’t matter to these people who I am anyway. Even if I were the president, they’d still fight to protect their pride.
Then,
Should I just pretend to be crazy and give a ridiculous answer?
“I’m HaYoo, the neighborhood security guard.”
“Ah, security guard? Wow, I didn’t know such a fine young lady would be a security guard.”
“…Huh?”
He’s going along with this?
-What the hell is this guy doing lololololol
-Is this a skit fck lolololololol
-Security guard wtf lololololol
-And he’s actually buying it lol
-This is so funny lol
-You drank a lot, old man lol
The old men who had let go of each other’s collars started grumbling again.
I held their hands and said calmly.
“Elders. Please explain to me what happened. I’ll listen and make a serious judgment for you.”
The shorter old man with a red nose spoke first.
“Well, this guy has been my friend for 50 years……”
The short old man poured out his grievances as if making a complaint. Listening carefully, it was a trivial misunderstanding common between friends.

“So father, you were hurt by how your friend spoke to you, is that right?”
“Bingo! That’s exactly what I’m saying!”
I turned my head and spoke to the taller old man next to him.
“But our father here just said it casually because he felt comfortable and close as a friend, right?”
“Yes, yes. Now you’re getting it!”
-HaYoo’s Counseling Center ON
-Staff of the people, Great HaYoo
-Security guard miss is doing a good job lol
-Lololololololololololol
-She’s really good at handling the elders
-She’s so capable, really lol
-Handling them like babies lol
“Fathers. There’s an old saying. Powder gets finer the more you grind it, but words get rougher the more you speak them. No matter how close you are, you shouldn’t curse at a friend, and no matter how angry you are, you shouldn’t use violence. Isn’t HaYoo right?”
The old men nodded, relaxing their expressions.
“Now you’ll make up, right?”
“Ahem, we should! He’s the only friend I have left now.”
“Aww, that’s great! Two fathers, let’s have a moment of exchanging reconciliatory gazes! Ready, one- two- three!”
The fierce glares they had been giving each other strangely softened.
Then they even shook hands, grasping each other tightly.
“I’m really sorry to you, my friend.”
“Haha, no! I’m more sorry!”
Seeing the dramatic resolution between the elders, I smiled with satisfaction.
“That’s nice to see. Well then, neighborhood security guard HaYoo will be on her way.”
“Oh my, security guard miss. We’re truly indebted to you.”
“…Yes, yes. Fathers, please get home safely.”
As I turned my back, a laugh burst out. Kim Hwachang had been howling with laughter since earlier, as if his lungs would flip inside out.
“Han Yujin, you’re really amazing!”
“Ah, this is driving me crazy! Guys, is this right?”
-Lololololololololololololol
-Lolololololol
-Manager, what are you doing, hurry up and upload this to YouTube Shorts lol
-Oh my god this is so fcking funny lol
-I thought she was a cheeky bitch since she’s from a non-paying user background, but this is unexpected
-The god of broadcasting is helping her
-HaYoo unnie is really my ideal type ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Cute but good with adults, so charming,,,
-Neighborhood security guard is so funny lol
-She’s really good with people… max level social skills..
-Agreed, I could never do that
-Do you think the oldest of 10 siblings would be a pushover?
“It’s because my grandmother is very strict. So dealing with elders is a piece of cake for me.”
‘Daddy Bird’ donated 100,000 won!
-Good job HaYoo, pat pat~
“Aaah-! Our Daddy Bird made another precious 100,000 won donation saying HaYoo did well! Thank you nyung!”
Looking at the viewer count, it had surpassed 15,000 even though it was a daytime broadcast.
I started walking again. Not far ahead, a high school came into view.
It was Chahyeon High School,
Where #2 Han Sejun attends.
Maybe because it was lunchtime, male high school students were playing soccer or basketball on the field, sweating profusely.
And, one guy caught my eye.
“Hey! Han Sejun!”
Hearing my voice, Han Sejun jolted as if he’d heard a tiger’s roar.
When I gestured for him to come, he quickly darted over, glancing around nervously.
“Ah, really. Noona! Why did you come!”
“Haven’t fixed your way of talking? Am I embarrassing?”
“No, it’s not that… The other kids…”
“I didn’t come to see you, you know? I was doing an outdoor broadcast and unfortunately saw your ugly mug, so I called you over. But…”
I continued with a sigh.
“Everyone. Look at this kid playing basketball when there’s only a few days left until the college entrance exam for a high school senior. As the head of the family, wouldn’t I be justified in beating him up?”
-Totally justified
-The neighborhood security guard is angry
-Study, you fcker
-Noona is working her ass off to make money while you’re playing basketball with an easy life lol
-Noona I like corporal punishment too
-If he was my brother I would’ve beaten him up for real
Han Sejun explained, squeezing his eyes shut then opening them.
“Noona. I need to relieve stress sometimes too.”
“Sometimes? Sooomeetimes? For you it’s not sometimes, it’s always.”
“That’s fabrication and instigation, do it in moderation.”
“Well, well. Do you know the meaning of those words you’re using?”

While I was bickering with my brother like that.
“Wooooaaahhhhh-!”
Unwelcome guests arrived.
Swarming like a horde of cockroaches.
Male high school students cried out like cuckoos from beyond the fence.
“Wow, crazy! It’s HaYoo noona!”
“Noona, hello!”
“I’m really enjoying your broadcasts. Noona, please take a picture with me just once. Please!”
“Wow, crazy. She’s so pretty in person.”
“Hey, hurry up and come! Han Sejun’s sister is here!”
“Whew, good thing I didn’t go sleep in the classroom!”
Seeing that scene, I let out a low sigh.
…Can you please go away, kids?
