February 14th.
The famous Valentine’s Day has come again this year.
Originally a day to confess love, it has turned into a day to exchange chocolates thanks to corporate schemes, standing alongside White Day as a day for lovers.
However, this was not the case for most internet ghosts living in the community.
[V-day and not even a single chocolate? Poor dude, lol]
Starting with me, haha.
-Valentine’s Day is just a marketing scheme made by companies to sell chocolates and candies, lol.
n You’re sounding like an old man.
n But it’s kind of true.
n Isn’t Pepero Day a marketing thing, while Valentine’s Day has always existed?
– I’m so broke I didn’t even know it was Valentine’s Day, lol.
– My mom gave me chocolate.
– I saw kids at school exchanging chocolates… the girl I like confessed to the handsome class president by giving him chocolate.
n Oh…
n Keep your chin up!
n You’re crushing on someone? LOL You’re doomed.
[Why are there so many days? ]
It’s already annoying that we have Valentine’s Day, White Day, and Pepero Day, but what about Black Day, Rose Day, Kiss Day? Damn, are they kidding?
– Haha, getting all mad because you didn’t get chocolate.
n Only the ones who didn’t get them are fuming. I got chocolate from my crush, so I’m just happy.
n Block this dude.
– I looked it up, and there are indeed a lot! Seems like there’s something every 14th of the month.
– This is all just nonsense.
n For real, making up anniversaries by slapping different things together is a bit infuriating.
– So does that mean the author doesn’t celebrate Teacher’s Day or Parent’s Day? That’s just messed up.
n Did this guy even read the post?
n As expected, reading comprehension is suffering.
n Read the room, dude.
[Our Ming is holding an event for Valentine’s Day, heh…]
(Streamer Ming-chan’s notice: He’s doing a broadcast to make handmade chocolates for Valentine’s Day and will deliver one to each viewer afterward.)
Of course, our Ming is so sweet, prioritizing viewers even on Valentine’s Day.
– This guy still hasn’t come to his senses after the Christmas break notice.
– Is this a concept? Is it for real?
– How broken is his head? Hahaha.
– Still drooling over Ming-chan, huh? Relentless.
– Wow, LOL. I didn’t know Ming could make chocolates too! Haha, there’s nothing Ming can’t do.
– Those chocolates are probably made for her boyfriend, and the leftover scraps are for us.
n Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
n He knows it too, damn it, haha!
n He’s completely deluded himself, huh?
n Chose the blue pill of lies over the red pill of truth…
Choosing the blue pill of lies over the red pill of truth…
To be honest, whether or not they got chocolate wasn’t really that important. Originally, whether it was Valentine’s Day or Christmas, the daily lives of those dwelling here didn’t change much.
They just needed some decent bait to roll around. Amidst that, news came that Ming-chan, one of the famous female streamers, was making chocolate for her viewers.
Ming-chan was already known to have a boyfriend. Plus, she had a history of looking down on her viewers when she thought her broadcast was off. This sparked mockery towards the author for still watching such a stream.
“Does Kayak not make chocolate?”
“Last time I checked, she often does cooking streams; it’d be nice if she made chocolate and delivered it.”
– “Does she think Kayak is a cheap female streamer? Why would she make chocolate?”
– “Is the gallery owner your friend?”
– “She’s not a traditional female streamer, so I doubt she’ll make chocolate.”
“Then again, she did whip up some serious broths during Christmas…”
“That day was something else.”
“Seriously, I couldn’t handle it.”
“Last time, she did fry up some pork belly well… if she made that every evening, I could gobble it all down without leaving a crumb.”
“Damn, that broth ham! Hahaha!”
“Why is Kayak coming up here?”
“It’s just so detailed it’s reverse funny.”
“The point is the gobbling down part…”
As usual, the next bit of bait was about Kayak.
In reality, there was no longer a reason to roll around bait about her in the gallery since Kayak’s fan cafe was created.
One reason Kayak made the fan cafe was to avoid having her story brought up in the gallery. Now that an official community was formed, it was best for her bait to circulate there.
However, there was no way that those ignoring their parents would listen to Kayak. Even if she said nicely, “Please talk about me in the fan cafe since it exists,” only those who were willing would hear her. Those still hanging around here weren’t exactly what you’d call kind viewers.
“When are you turning on the broadcast? ㅡㅡㅡㅡ”
Meanwhile, in Kayak’s fan cafe, everyone was eagerly waiting for Kayak’s stream. She had previously promised to go live today.
Unlike usual, she mentioned she’d arrive around lunchtime yesterday, making her viewers itch to know when she’d show up. They couldn’t help but refresh the buffering Twitch screen repeatedly.
And then, the stream went live. Today’s broadcast kicked off unusually quickly, just past noon.
Song turned on the stream a little past noon, faster than usual.
[They’ve arrived arrived arrived arrived arrived arrived]
[Fast bang-on ㄷㄷㄷ]
[The diligent kayak… can’t stop this]
[12:14? What does it mean?]
[It’s dark, turn on the screen]
Today, Kayak’s broadcast was filled with a lot of noise. The bustling voices of people, honking cars, and even the sound of passing wind.
A few quick-witted viewers caught on to today’s broadcast even before the screen turned on.
[Is it a late night broadcast???]
[Did the cooking broadcast arrive?]
[Cooking broadcasts are indoors, but seems like she’s going somewhere now]
It doesn’t seem like she’s just gaming at home as usual. So, where on earth is Kayak heading?
Just as the viewers’ curiosity peaked, light slowly filtered into the dark screen.
“Hello everyone, sorry for the late start, I rushed to turn it on.”
Kayak appeared inside a building. The space was neatly decorated in white. Behind her, something resembling an exhibition was visible.
[What’s that?]
[A bakery?]
[So many cakes!]
“Now, what are we going to do today….”
As Kayak moved to the back, the camera angle naturally followed.
The camera shone on the exhibition area where beautifully crafted, delicious-looking cakes were displayed.
“Looks like some of you have already caught on. Yes, we’re at a custom cake specialty shop. Today, I’m going to make a custom cake myself, in celebration of Valentine’s Day.”
They say high expectations bring great disappointment—unless, of course, the opposite is true.
Since nobody had any expectations, it was even better. Like a surprise event, Kayak performed an action that viewers never anticipated, and they began to cheer.
[Wow, kya!]
[What’s with the chocolate? LOL, at least make a cake!]
[You again, goat…]
[Just when I forget, you do something like this again.]
[I’m so happy as a Kayaksu ㅠㅠ]
[How many cakes are you making?]
“I didn’t really set a number, but since this is my first time doing something like this, I might mess up a lot while making them. Of course, an expert will be helping me. But I think I’ll just keep going until I’m satisfied?”
Kayak expressed a desire to make several cakes and share them with those around her.
It was a matter of opinion for the medicine.
[Kayak's Foot Wiper donated 10,000 won!]
– Are we getting some too? Haha….
“Of course, I came here to make and give them to you guys, so I definitely have to! Why am I doing something I didn’t do before all of a sudden? Umm… I just felt like it?”
[Well… because it’s fun]
[I’ll give credit for the motivation, haha]
[The day Kayak decided to start sucking the money out of the viewers while seriously making the broth, that day is awaited….]
[If you make a lot of cakes, isn’t it just about 10? Haha, the competition is fierce!]
[2000:1? Whoa!]
[Leave about 100 people out, let me get some cake, okay?]
[Let’s find the guys with girlfriends first and ban them.]
Kayak casually explained that she started this out of sheer curiosity. Unlike the female streamers who mostly did it out of love for their fans, her motives were entirely different.
By the time viewers were chatting away, Kayak had already moved inside. It looked like a designated cake-making place.
There were colorful whipped creams in piping bags and round cakes with no toppings placed on the table.
“Here is our skilled cake master who will help me a lot today.”
“Hello~.”
After introducing the expert to the viewers, Kayak began the consultation in earnest.
The topic of discussion was the design of the cake.
“Do you have any cake designs in mind? Something pretty you saw on the internet, perhaps?”
“I want to make a cake like this….”
As soon as the expert asked, Kayak quickly took out her phone.
The manager followed along, shining the phone’s light on the pictures that had been hidden inside.
There were photos of Camilla giving a thumbs up, Snowflake Queen Camilla, and Camilla with a wistful expression. A variety of Camillas in small character forms filled the phone screen.
The viewers finally realized Kayak’s intentions and gasped.
[Oh, hell no, hahaha! A Camilla-shaped cake?]
[Going all out, huh?]
[Definitely something that has to be custom-made, can’t just whip it up!]
[Just think of a cake with a character kids love ㅇㅇ]
[Making a Camilla and eating it… Hehe….]
Meanwhile, the expert, still confused, asked with a bewildered expression.
“What is this?”
Kayak replied with a determined look.
“I want to make a cake that looks like this.”
