Personally, I don’t particularly enjoy drinking.
When I'm with others, I tend to drink more, but I’m not really a fan of drinking alone.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
However, when in London, the story is different.
“I came all the way to London, so I might as well drink.”
That said, I didn’t have the courage to go out into the streets of London at dawn, so I decided to drink casually at the accommodation.
It seemed like the others wanted to do the same.
But before drinking, there was one important thing to decide.
“Are we drinking on stream?”
Whether to drink while the broadcast is on or to end it first—that was the key question.
We don’t often have the chance to drink together, so I wanted to share this with the viewers.
When I asked, Harin hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Hmm... Let’s keep it on in the beginning, but turn it off later when we drink.”
“That sounds good. Let’s do that. I’ll set up the drinks, you prepare the stream.”
“Okay.”
For some reason, whenever there’s a drinking stream, the number of viewers increases exponentially.
I suspect it’s because viewers like to watch streamers make mistakes live.
‘I’m not sure.’
Still, the increase in viewers is certain, so I fiddled with the camera settings for a bit.
A short while later—
Click.
[The broadcast has started!]
The broadcast began.
The drinks were ready, and everything was set up.
‘By the way, I’m drinking in my own room so casually.’
Maybe because I didn’t have much luggage.
I thought to myself that I should mention it next time, adjusting the camera position.
“Hey, guys. Is this visible enough?”
I was watching the broadcast on my phone while adjusting the angle, but the viewers might see it differently.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: If you turn it a little to the right]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: It should be good.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: It’s too left-sided right now.]
[?]
[Haha, the manager is freaking out already.]
[But it’s true.]
[I’d love Dama even if he’s left-wing...]
[Dama’s a lesbian, huh? Nice to meet you.]
🚶♂️ User temporarily banned.
[What the hell, those trolls come out as soon as they open their mouths.]
[강후민입니다: I’m a hardcore leftist, no jokes.]
[That’s what I thought, haha.]
[Leftists get critiqued, haha.]
As soon as I checked the chat, I was bombarded with sudden nonsense.
It was a bit shocking, but I responded calmly.
“Alright, stop with the nonsense, or the manager will ban you. For now, just tell me if the camera angle is alright.”
[강후민입니다: The most important thing here is]
[강후민입니다: That the manager just publicly admitted they’re left-wing...]
🚶♂️ User temporarily banned.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Get lost, leftist.]
[Who are you to talk on this sacred stream?]
[Oh, it’s those two being annoying, huh?]
[I really want to punch them, haha.]
[환희: Haha.]
[The camera angle seems fine, just a little more to the right and it’ll be perfect.]
Following the viewers’ advice, I moved the camera slightly to the right.
The angle looked good now.
“Alright.”
At this point, I didn’t need to adjust the camera anymore.
The camera wouldn’t shake or fall on its own either.
Thinking that, I then spoke up.
“Alright, let’s start the drinking stream, so call the people who want to watch. I’ll set the stream to 19+ first.”
For some reason, whenever I do a drinking stream, I always have to set it to 19+ before drinking.
I’m not exactly sure why.
Maybe there’s an important reason behind it.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Set it to 19+ already, come on.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: The kids are going to flood in.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: This is so tiring.]
[No way, are kids actually watching this? No way.]
[I’ve seen the kids at PC bangs watching Dama’s videos, haha.]
[No way, my Dama!!!]
[Wow, Dama’s power level has seriously gone up...]
[강후민입니다: Whenever I see those kids at PC bangs watching Dama’s streams, I want to smack the back of their heads, haha.]
[It’s definitely a talent to twist kids’ wrists, haha.]
[강황 is really savage, haha.]
[강황, you’re like some sort of medicinal herb, haha.]
I didn’t even know this, but from what I heard from Ye-ram, my videos have been gaining popularity among younger audiences.
‘I heard they share it on Shorts or Reels.’
I might need to check that out later.
It feels pretty gross to think that people are profiting off my videos without my consent.
I thought about that while sitting down at the setup.
The table was quite the spread.
“There’s a lot more than I expected. What’s this?”
“When you were resting, I went out and got some stuff.”
“You should’ve invited me. I was a bit bored too.”
“If you had asked, you wouldn’t have gone with me anyway.”
“...True.”
I said that, but if I had asked, I wouldn’t have gone either.
“Alright, let’s pour some drinks first.”
Normally, I would have had soju, but this was London.
While I like the taste of Korean drinks, there was no need to drink soju here.
So the drink Harin brought was—
“This is actually pretty expensive.”
It was wine.
It looked like a rather expensive bottle of wine.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Wow, you brought that, huh?]
[What’s that? Is it expensive?]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: I don’t know either, haha.]
[The manager’s been trolling non-stop since earlier, haha.]
[They’re trolling, but you’re still having fun, so cheers.]
[Well, if it’s fun, then whatever.]
[강후민입니다: I looked it up and it’s about 100,000 KRW, yeah.]
[Wow, it’s expensive, for sure.]
I glanced at the chat, and the news that the wine was around 100,000 KRW made me nervous.
“...I’ve never had such expensive alcohol before.”
The most expensive drink I’d ever had was sake at a Japanese-style bar, but now this wine was topping that.
I felt like things had changed since before.
As I looked at the wine, Harin took the corkscrew out of his pocket and opened the wine bottle.
Pop—
The cork popped open with a lively sound.
Harin then warned us.
“This is pretty high in alcohol content, so don’t drink too much just because it tastes good.”
After hearing that, Mangming and Sarok seemed a bit nervous.
It made sense, though.
The last time we all drank together, they couldn’t handle their drinks at all.
‘I’ll have to stop them if they drink too much.’
While I was thinking that, Harin got wine glasses from somewhere and poured wine for all of us.
I thought he’d pour like crazy, but he poured very modestly.
‘Seems like he’s had a lot of experience.’
I had seen him eat galbijjim (braised short ribs) like a pro, so it seemed like he grew up in a rich family.
I thought to myself that I was a little envious when—
“Cheers...!”
Mangming raised his glass.
It seemed like drinking in London excited everyone.
Oh, and there was something I hadn’t mentioned earlier.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: The view is insane.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: How does the city look this amazing? Haha.]
[The terrace is incredible.]
[This is a room with a terrace, right?]
[This four-person room is amazing.]
[I wish I could drink here too.]
We were drinking on my room's terrace.
It had a nice view of the city.
I hadn’t told the viewers about it because I didn’t think I’d use it, but here we were.
I thought it was pretty cool as I raised my glass.
“Cheers.”
It was just wine, so how drunk could I get?
Even if the alcohol content was high, I could control it and drink moderately.
And so, we started drinking the wine.
Drip—
The sound of rain falling woke me up.
“Ugh...”
It wasn’t a bad hangover since I hadn’t been drinking cheap alcohol, but still, my head hurt.
Anyway...
“Wait... what happened yesterday?”
I couldn’t remember what happened yesterday.
I remember that we drank together and had fun, but I couldn’t recall much else.
I wasn’t that hungover, yet I couldn’t remember.
‘I’ll have to watch the replay.’
I thought to myself as I checked the replay on my account.
But something was odd.
“...Why is the view count so high?”
The view count was incredibly high.
It shouldn’t have been possible for a replay to have such a high view count.
I thought something was off as I clicked on the replay—
“Wow...”
I saw the embarrassing scene that had happened yesterday.
It was so bad it couldn’t even be compared to the previous embarrassing moments.
It was at the level where I almost wanted to die.
What should I do? I stood there, frozen, thinking, when—
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
