Between a person and another person, there exists a hierarchical relationship.
Even if it’s not an overtly visible rank like a job title, a subtle superiority exists between people.
For example, the dynamics of human relationships, where this person can’t budge against that person, seem similar at first glance, even if they differ upon closer inspection.
In that context, Kayak’s broadcast currently displayed a clearly defined hierarchical relationship.
“Bow down, this is the height of our eyes.”
[What?]
[Ah haha, you know Cadis Etrama Di Raizel]
[Wow]
[Realness ㄷㄷ]
[What the heck]
[Kids these days don’t know that, Kayak…]
[Honestly, that’s not even realness, right?]
[-wrong-]
[The host is still in their prime, yet can’t act MZ]
[Guang (九綱), Polarization (偏光), Crow and Statement (声明), Gap of Appearance. False Style “Murasaki” (虚式 “茈”)]
[These days, it’s all about Jujutsu Kaisen, right? ㅇㅇ….]
[The host says to kneel, hurry up and kneel, you little brats!]
[Older sister ㅠㅠ I don’t understand what you’re saying ㅠㅠ]
“Ho ho, this is quite… the responses are rather lackluster.”
After a series of events, a clear hierarchical relationship formed in Kayak’s broadcast.
It was never a horizontal broadcast to begin with. Unlike Hako broadcasts where viewers shake the streamer, in large corporations, the control of the broadcast mostly lay with the streamer.
Still, the current situation in Kayak’s broadcast was such that one could easily say the control had shifted.
“I’ve been insulted by bad people… misunderstood by you all… and yet, you won’t even do what I asked….”
Maybe public broadcasting would be better than personal broadcasting.
It was a statement anyone could see was intentional. If you don’t behave properly while weighing public vs personal broadcasting, I’ll just switch to public broadcasting, plain and simple.
However, like a play that you know is false yet pretend to believe, as soon as Kayak finished speaking, the chat began to escalate.
[Public broadcasting won’t work]
[Don’t do that… don’t do that… don’t do that…]
[I’m kneeling right now, can I post proof on the cafe?]
[I’ve even kneeled and done dogeza]
[Hey, I didn’t say anything bad about Kayak, I just wrote supportive posts;; I didn’t do anything wrong]
[Don’t you know we love our country and our comrades?]
[Huppi house ON]
[It’s collective responsibility ㅇㅇ….]
Oh, those silly kayak brats!
If you say “lick,” I’ll lick; if you say “bite,” I’ll bite! Please, don’t leave me!
Actually, the good kayaks are totally underrated, haha!
With just a single line from the streamer, over twenty thousand people laugh and cry.
If an ordinary person who knows nothing about the broadcast were to see the current situation, they might feel a sense of bizarre fear.
“Hehe.”
Kayak smiled as if satisfied.
And then came the fun game.
“Jigeun!”
With a playful expression, Kayak pointed their index finger at the camera.
Along with that, the chat exploded with fitting reactions.
[AAAHHHH]
[Your “jigeun” hurts the most (Is this how you do it?)]
[Ugh, haha, it’s tough to please the kayak folks, haha!]
[Seriously confused but finding it funny]
[TehKai-]
[Here comes the school habits again]
[Ugh]
[Looking at the kayaks chatting, I really need to go to the bathroom]
“Ramgak!”
“Chidori!”
“Puga!”
Every time Kayak uttered some unintelligible words, the viewers screamed, “Eek! Eek!”
The relationship between the streamer and the viewers. They only exchanged words over the internet, yet at this moment, it felt like they were somehow connected.
How much had Kayak tormented the viewers? Just when the viewers, who had been eagerly chatting like they were playing with a little nephew, began to tire out…
“What am I doing at this age… Thanks for your hard work, everyone. I’m not really forgiving you, but seeing your effort, I’ll let you off this once, hmph.”
As Kayak was super excited, throwing out animated character skills, suddenly, like a little tsundere lady, turned her head away.
The viewers could only be dumbfounded.
[Yes, yes, thanks for letting us watch, My Lady]
[What’s this, a tsundere concept? Trying to set a new broadcast concept?]
[That concept is trash… Almost said it~]
[Tsundere bratty Kayak, oh wow]
[Tsundere has always been a great charm]
[No kayak can win against me one-on-one, haha!]
[Why not add more when it was so good?]
[Please hit me more, heeung….]
“Add more? What more could I possibly give? They seem like unpleasant people, hmph.”
However, there was an undeniable smile on Kayak’s face despite her words.
*
Since it had been a while since the broadcast started, there was a lot to say. She felt disappointed and resentful toward the viewers who didn’t understand her feelings, but at the same time, it was nice to see them again.
Broadcasting had become an indispensable part of her life. Among the many things that made her who she was, broadcasting surely took a top spot in terms of proportion.
“I did indeed date my ex-girlfriend back in high school. Since it’s already come to light, there’s no need to hide it. If you have questions, I’ll answer what I can, but please don’t ask too deeply….”
[Wow]
[Forgiving the viewers and actually giving them a chance to ask questions, big Kayak]
[Ask me anything, I’m all ears ㄷㄷ]
[Honestly, I’m more curious about something else besides this incident….]
[Oh ho]
[I have a lot of questions, but I won’t bother to ask them]
[Imagining things in my head is much naughtier]
[My ex-girlfriend… that wording is a bit provocative]
[I’m curious about your ideal type]
[Since it’s a rare opportunity given by Kayak, please refrain from too mischievous questions!]
[Older Sister ㅠㅠ Date me too ㅠㅠ]
[How long did you date your ex-girlfriend?]
[A seductress who captivates the broadcast host ㄷㄷ I want to see her face]
Unexpectedly, there weren’t that many questions. She had imagined it like a press conference with flashes going off and a barrage of questions that would make it hard to even respond.
Between the numerous chats, she continued to answer the occasional questions that popped up.
“My ideal type… I’m not sure why you’re asking this or why you don’t already know, but of course, it’s Camilla. So, did my ex-girlfriend resemble Camilla? Um… not really. I can’t describe her face in detail, but she didn’t resemble Camilla… Was she pretty? Objectively speaking, she was on the pretty side.”
[So you didn’t date someone who resembles Camilla??]
[This is what a lot of inexperienced people misunderstand; ideal types and real-life dating are different ㅇㅇ]
[The term ‘ideal type’ means a perfect person who encompasses only ideal traits, but there’s no way such a person actually exists.]
“This person” refers to a person who is perfect, but there’s no way such a person exists in reality.
“Kayak thinks that they are their own ideal type.”
“Since self-love isn’t really an option…”
“Did the teacher confess first to start dating?”
Why are the questions so far from what I expected?
I thought they’d be asking about recent events, incidents, or the culprit, but the viewers focused mainly on my past relationships.
It feels more like asking a clueless student teacher about their first love than a serious hearing or press conference.
“No, I was the one who got confessed to… but does that matter?”
“Of course it does… This is about who has the say in the relationship!”
“Was the teacher the one making the moves?”
“Oh dear.”
“I’m really curious about the offense and defense parts, but I’ll hold my tongue.”
“Oh man, just looking at these stupid questions from Kayak makes me mad.”
“Did you kiss them???!!!!”
“Surely you mean a kiss, not just pecking;;”
“Back in school, it was all about the innocent peck, right? They were minors.”
“Kids these days do everything, you know…”
“Seriously, kissing or whatever; kids have been doing that since middle school, damn it!”
“Things I haven’t done!! They’re doing it!!”
“Well… yes, we did kiss. It was literally just a kiss. We were both a bit, well, pure in that aspect.”
In that moment, a strange discomfort flowed through the chat.
“Whoa;;;”
“Wait, you really only kissed?”
“If that’s true, the broadcast host… whoa… wow….”
“Unicorns are about to explode in excitement, lol.”
“If you kissed your girlfriend, doesn’t that mean you’re out?”
“In this day and age, even unicorns would be drooling over that, right?”
“I don’t even know what this is in front of the person involved.”
“LOL, it’s just lip service; why would you believe that?”
“Kids are so innocent, LOL. There’s no way they didn’t do anything else.”
“That’s true.”
“Um….”
Wow, these people really don’t change. Should I appreciate their consistency, or should I find it ridiculous?
In a moment, I felt foolish for caring about issues like same-sex relationships and lesbian issues. On another hand, it felt good that they seemed to like me purely without getting tangled in all that stuff…
