The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Chapter 9: I dont have a hyung like you. (2)

Unlike other people, we didnt have parents, nor did we have someone we could rely on to support us.

The total amount sponsored was 1.92 million won.

On the day of my discharge, my joint broadcast with Jinhyukie ended in success in all areas except for the matter of actually celebrating Jinhyukies birthday.

As soon as the broadcast was over, I climbed out of the capsule; Jinhyuk was waiting for me, holding a cup of ice in his hand.

Hyung-nim! Thank you for your hard work. Why dont you have a cool drink of water.

Uh, okay. Calculate the split the way I said earlier.

Hyung, why split anything when we share the same blood?

Its precisely because we share the same blood that we need to keep money matters separate, dongsaeng-ah.

I breathed heavily as I gulped down the water Jinhyukie had given to me in one go.

Perhaps because we had been using the capsule for such a long time, my throat was parched.

Jinhyuk placed the empty glass in the sink and picked up his smartphone.

Hyung, this was really amazing. Lets just keep going. At this rate, we could become a big corp.

Whose dog is named big corp?

Im serious. Look, havent I totally gotten the hang of this?

I was already tired to begin with, but listening to my brother babbling away in my ear was making me feel even more stressed out.

It seemed that it was time to impart the truth to the innocent lamb who had no idea of the way the world worked.

I draped my arm over Jinhyukies shoulder and said, Dongsaeng-ah.

Yes, Hyung-nim.

There were people around me who thought theyd gotten the hang of things. Do you know what happened to them?

Bitcoin, stocks, things like that.

What happened?

They were all ****.

Ah

So dont ever say that kind of thing again. Before I become ****. Do you understand?

My words had finally reached him.

When my dongsaeng heard those shocking words, he seemed to have fallen into a daze.

However he was young; he bounced back quickly and spoke to me with a determined expression on his face.

Honestly, Hyung, you looked like you were having fun too. Isnt that enough? Do whatever you want. Get a license or a part-time job. Just, lets do a broadcast together once in a while.

Do you know how old your hyung is this year?

Youre 26.

Your hyung didnt go to college and doesnt have any skills. He also went to the army very late.

Unlike other people, we didnt have parents, nor did we have someone we could rely on to support us.

I was lucky enough just to get a small place in the capital.

No matter what my dongsaeng-ie chose to do, from the very beginning, I never had any intention of stopping him.

I was always grateful just for the fact that he was alive.

But we had to face reality.

A stable income was essential to take care of even the most basic expenses, including maintenance fees and telecommunication bills.

Youre the only one who can have an unsteady job. Understand?

Jinhyukie was right.

Honestly speaking, I had so much fun earlier.

It had been a long time since I had been online and it had been a lot of fun. It was also great to joke around with my brothers viewers.

However, that was all.

The real world was too cold to think in ideals.

Jinhyukie fell silent for a while and bit his lips.

I smiled seeing him like that.

Dont be so serious. Hyungs going to go take shower..

Drring.

Just then, an old-fashioned ringtone rang out from Jinhyukies smartphone and he answered immediately.

It must have been an important caller for him to pick it up right away.

Ah, yes! Dongsoo hyung. I just finished my broadcast.

Dongsoo hyung?

Id heard that name a lot.

Well, Dongsoo wasnt exactly an uncommon name.

I picked up a towel from the drying rack and was about to enter the bathroom.

My eyes met with Jinhyukies as he spoke on the phone. Soon after, his lips began to rise.

Did the heat get to him?

Why was he laughing like that all of a sudden?

Ah, really? Ill ask right away.

Jinhyukie moved the phone away from his mouth after a moment and spoke to me with a smile,

Hyung, theres this hyung that Im really close with.

Then let that hyung be your hyung.

What- thats not what Im saying. This hyung says that he wants to buy you a celebratory drink. What do you think?

For me? Do I have to go?

I was planning on introducing him to you when you got out of the military, so the timing works out. Do you want to go meet him? He says he wants to get you a drink to celebrate your discharge.

Well.

The more I looked at his face, the more I didnt like it.

However, seeing him wear such a bright expression while talking on the phone, it seemed like this guy had some kind of influence over my dongsaeng.

If that was the case, then I thought I should see this guy at least once.

My dongsaeng was also an adult but it was important to meet the people he knew.

I mulled over it for a moment and then replied reluctantly while nodding my head.

Ill do it.

Jinhyukie then responded to the hyung who was on hold straight away.

Yeah, Hyung. Then Ill see you there. Yes.

Jinhyukie ended the call quickly and told me,

This is.. An opportunity!

Seriously, why did I feel so apprehensive?
