Everyone is born with their own temperament.
Some are born emotional, shedding tears just from watching a leaf fall.
Others are as unyielding as a rock, born with a cold rationality, never shedding a single tear, no matter how sad the movie.
Of course, over time, personalities may change slightly. For instance, someone who normally doesn’t care about others might start being conscious of people’s reactions, or someone who never laughs at bad jokes might force a chuckle just to fit in.
But the fundamental essence of a person doesn’t change.
This was also true for the Taker, Jang Gun-hee. Born with a planned personality, he wasn’t too fond of things not going according to plan.
Personal broadcasts are already filled with variables. The Taker didn’t want to introduce any more.
That’s why he always started each broadcast following a certain structure. He’d have a one-hour chat before the main content and then enjoy the aftertaste with the viewers before wrapping up.
It was a routine he followed daily, and he intended to run today’s broadcast similarly.
He invited the guest, Kayak, and planned to slowly build up the atmosphere with some casual talk before bursting into the main content.
But all his plans fell apart — thanks to Kayak.
She teased the viewers with the fact that she regularly contacted the Taker and drew all the attention to herself, then dazzled everyone with her presentation on the basics of broth-making.
It was an impressive skill. If the Taker had been just a spectator, he would have unwittingly admired her talent.
Kayak had the ability to steer the direction of the broadcast. The Taker was sure he was the one running the show, but somehow, he had lost control.
Indeed, she embodied the rising star, the corporate streamer loved by viewers.
Sure, it was a bit over the top, but her broadcasting ability was undeniably proven through this incident. Kayak wasn’t just a pretty face with gaming skills; there was much more to her.
Anyway, putting that aside, thanks to Kayak, the plan derailed. The Taker felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him as he pulled out the prepared content.
“Alright, let’s get into today’s main content…”
“Did your energy just drop dramatically? It hasn’t even been two hours since we started!”
[Aw, hahaha, Taker’s tired!]
[Is that something you should say, Kayak?]
[Do you have no shame?]
[Who’s the culprit behind this energy drop?]
[I can’t defend you on this one, hahaha.]
[Gunhee looks like he aged ten years!]
[The one who stirs up trouble in others’ broadcasts… The one who ruins others’ content… Drawing in attention like it’s breathing…]
“That content-crushing girl… the one who attracts attention like it’s breathing…”
“Simply the great Kayak.”
“Hmm, so what’s the main content? I’m so looking forward to it.”
Kayak turned to the Taker, noticing the viewers’ cold reactions.
With a sigh inside, the Taker tried to boost the energy and said,
“The main content for today is… drumroll!”
[Drumroll]
[Taker’s high energy on]
“It’s the Eyetracker Challenge!”
*
To be honest, I had a hunch when I first entered Taker’s room. I figured something equipment-like was attached to the monitor, so I thought something like this would happen.
“Huh, but actually looking at it, there’s not much here. Was it really necessary to build up so much tension just for this? Couldn’t you have just opened with it from the start?”
“Eh, you don’t get it. This is all content. Content. The plan is to keep it hidden from the viewers and guests, then surprise them with the Eyetracker Challenge.”
[Hmm… The trend of the Eyetracker Challenge has passed]
[They made a big fuss over just doing this?]
[Kayak already released all the dopamine in front, so there’s not much excitement left, lol]
[Hey guys, react a bit. The Broadcast Host worked hard to prepare the content.]
[Wow lol Eyetracker Challenge, epic lol]
[I’m so curious where Taker and Kayak’s gazes will land.]
[Today, Taker looks a bit pathetic…]
[Taker might not know, but Kayak’s perspective might be a bit interesting…?]
Taker clapped to lighten the chaotic atmosphere.
“The rules are simple. Kayak and I will take turns watching videos. Well, videos that would appeal to men and women a bit.”
“Yeah.”
“I, Taker, representing the male gaze! And Kayak representing the female gaze! You get the vibe, right? Everyone understands?”
[In this chaotic world, is this really okay, Gunhee?]
[Taker is about to get caught staring at chests and butts.]
[But the gaze is instinctual… it’s impossible not to look.]
[If you seriously don’t look, that’s just controlling it.]
[I’m curious about Kayak’s viewpoint.]
Hmm, the content itself seems fine, but I’m starting to think I might have invited the wrong guest.
I’m quite different from the average woman to take the stage as a female representative.
Even in this content, unlike the viewers and Taker’s expectations, I don’t particularly react to male videos.
Whether a muscular man comes out shirtless and shakes his waist, that’s none of my business.
“Punishment? You’re asking if there’s no punishment? Umm… is there really a need for one? We’re just doing this for fun. Honestly, just because your gaze lands there doesn’t mean it’s wrong, right?”
“It’s a bit unfair to just say that the line heading that way is all wrong, right?”
“It’s kind of tough for the Taker, huh? Let’s just go without penalties.”
So, the Taker boldly kicked off the Eyetracker Challenge.
*
“Whoa, whoa! Yaiyaihooo~.”
The Taker, spewing some unique onomatopoeia, was desperately trying not to look at something.
[What? Whoa?? Gunhee, I’m disappointed]
[Damn, it’s Shin-du again, I have to worship]
[Oh my god]
[Looks like the sister really can’t handle the heat, haha…]
[Wow, that booty though;;]
[Isn’t this supposed to be 19+?]
[Way too risqué]
[Can you really tolerate this? You aren’t watching this?]
[Kayak’s expression, lol]
A woman in a short outfit was shaking her entire body and dancing vigorously in the video.
Blue splotches appeared and disappeared over her, tracking the Taker’s line of sight in real-time.
As if to represent the Taker’s anxious feelings, the blue splotches moved irregularly, appearing on the woman’s face and then her chest.
The videos being used for the Eyetracker Challenge were all sent in real-time by the viewers.
For various reasons, typical video donations on the Taker’s broadcasts were usually shut down. This rare opening was fiercely tempting the Taker.

-Yat, haat, ah.
“No, this sound is just weird from the start. Too intentional.”
“Oh….”
[Wow, this is a crazy variety of videos;;;;]
[Seriously, there are all sorts of videos, lol]
[What the hell, is this porn?]
[Even with Vtube restrictions, there’s videos like this]
[Isn’t that 19+?]
[These days, Vtube is full of provocative videos]
[Isn’t it just a normal rope skipping session?]
[Swaying…swaying…swaying…swaying…swaying…]
[Looks like the rope skipping was tough, haha… keep making those sounds]
A girl wearing a white shirt that clung to her body was diligently skipping rope.
Since the video originally didn’t show her face and only her upper body, her chest area stood out even more. You could feel the sender’s malice, determined to take the Taker down.
However, the Taker somehow managed to ride out the wave. Ignoring the two bouncy masses, he just fixed his gaze intently on the woman’s abdomen.
If that was a trick, it certainly was. The viewers protested, but the Taker didn’t care.
“No, her waist was super tiny. You guys must have been focused on other things and missed it, but she had an ant waist. Looks like she works out regularly.”
“You guys might have been too focused on something else to notice, but that waist was totally ant-like. It seems like you do your exercises regularly.”
“[Well, I guess you do exercise a lot, haha.]”
“[Taker likes slender waists… taking notes….]”
“[Taker likes women’s bellies / Wiki / Add entry]”
“[Definitely refusing to see it, haha.]”
“[I feel like I’ve sent a lot of videos, but I’ve only stacked one?]”
“If your gaze wanders to a specific body part in the playing video, it’s a fail. So far, Taker has failed once.”
“That was only during the very first challenge; after that, he was on lockdown.”
“Heh, come at me as much as you want. I’ll show you how great my self-control is.”
That was Taker bragging. The playing video ended, and a new one started.
-Kayak 1109 Reaction Midkiss Dance
The new video featured a familiar face to both the challenging Taker and the viewers watching the broadcast.
A slightly baggy box tee, yet a certain part stood out clearly.
Silver hair and blue eyes. It was Kayak.
As the video played, she began to dance, her head bowed as if shy.
Though it wasn’t the typical female streamer outfit, the way she danced was undeniably provocative.
The swaying motions seemed to tempt men, and when she occasionally looked up to face the camera, it was hard not to stare at her face in a daze.
The legendary broadcast that had been aired once and then deleted the next day was now playing on Taker’s stream.
“…Whoa! Kayak’s video is a no-go, folks. That’s cheating. This one is invalid.”
Taker’s reaction was slightly delayed. He turned off the video about ten seconds into it.
There was no doubt about where his gaze had landed.
“[2 stacks accumulated, haha.]”
“[The moment Kayak shows up, he crumbles, haha.]”
“[That video is intense, haha. It’s the one that got deleted.]”
“[Does Taker like Kayak? Haha.]”
“[Why is Kayak cheating? Isn’t she a woman?]”
“[Kayak is definitely a cheat code, haha. It’s hard not to look.]”
“[I’ve held it together until now, what a pity.]”
Just before the video turned off, Taker’s gaze was fixated on Kayak’s chest and backside. He was definitely not immune to the violent dance moves either.
For some reason, Taker couldn’t look Kayak straight in the eye and slowly continued speaking.
“Um, I think that’s it for me. Now it’s your turn, Kayak. Let’s switch places.”
