[Bonus 5/5]
"Ha..."
Bread, aka Choi Soo-hyun, had been streaming with a smile until just now.
However, as soon as she turned off the stream, she let out a deep sigh.
Today, Lee Hyun-woo did not join her stream again.
While they had just formed the contract to shoot 1 million coins a month at her, it was only on the first day that he had come and started working towards the quota.
Yesterday and today, Lee Hyun-woo did not even pop into the room for a check.
'Also... It must be because he's with another camgirl, right?'
There were many reasons she thought up in her mind.
The most prominent of which was Darling.
'I will never forget the phone call I had with that woman yesterday.'
She was a human who poured out disgusting curses at people she didn't even know without hesitation.
Moreover, she spoke of Bread as if she had stolen the man she was in love with.
When she had hung up the phone yesterday and checked, it was Choi Soo-hyun, not Darling, who happened to met Lee Hyeon-woo first.
'But did he actually do that...? I mean, what are the chances of a man and a woman coincidentally meeting up in the middle of the night? Besides, if the relationship was close enough for her to spit out such profanity without hesitation, it's pretty clear that they have some sort of a physical relationship.'
Additionalt, it was clear to her that the women Lee Hyun-woo had touched was not limited to Darling.
Lee Hyeon-woo had also sponsored over 200,000 coins in Yeojjing's stream just today.
And yet, yesterday and today, he hadn't even appeared in her stream.
"Ha..."
She had heard a lot of rumours describing Korea TV as the animal kingdom or a den of dirty prostitutes.
But she could never have imagined that she would actually experience this rumour first hand.
'Should I do the same...?'
Prior to the start of her streaming career, she was the Choi Soo-hyun who had vowed never to sell herself.
However, the thought of 1 million coins per month flickered in front of her eyes.
Even after paying fees, taxes, and cashback, it was an amount totalling 20 million won per month.
That was four times more than what she was earning now.
If she could earn 20 million won on a fixed basis, wouldn't it be fine to trade the stability with sex…
"Ah! I don't know. Why isn't this Oppa active on his KakaoTalk?"
Her head felt all jumbled.
Choi Soo-hyun felt like blaming Lee Hyun-woo for the overthinking she was beset with.
During the stream, she had even pretended to go to the bathroom so she could send a KakaoTalk text to him.
But it was still left unread.
'What are you doing? Surely you're not going to break the contract like this, are you? I really hate the idea of that.'
"Annoying."
Choi Soo-hyun showed off her temper.
Even so, the worst act of the usually timid Choi Soo-hyun was to poke the doll's stomach with her fist.
'Shall I just call him about it first?'
The issue with that was that she had heard that there were some people who didn't like talking over the phone all of a sudden without prior alert.
Some older guys were obviously married men too.
She had heard that such a person hated when a camgirl called them while they were with their families.
If their wives found out that they were a big shot of some camgirl, the sponsorship would be cut off from that very day.
But as unemployed Oppa- Lee Hyeon-woo- was still in his mid-to-late 20s, she reckoned is was highly unlikely that he was actually married.
'Yet another thing I don't know.'
Choi Soo-hyun did not want to take such a risk.
As she lay on the bed and stared at her smartphone screen while continuing to overthink, she finally received an incoming call from Lee Hyun-woo.
"Ah, ah hehe."
Choi Soo-hyun immediately got up from her spot and cleared her throat.
And then she answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Oppa! Were you very busy?"
Unlike when she was irritated with him earlier, Choi Soo-hyun's voice was very bright now.
She, too, knew very well her position in their business relationship.
So, she had to strive for what she wanted without going against Lee Hyun-woo's ego as much as possible.
"I had a bit of a crazy thing going on on my end. Rather, you're calling about this week's quota, right? Don't worry. I'll be sure to meet the quota tomorrow."
"Ah... I didn't call to press you like that... But I understand. Then I'll be waiting for you tomorrow. Have you ate your dinner yet?"
"Not yet. Come to think of it, I hardly ate anything today. Is the stream over? If you're not busy, shall we eat together?"
"Yes...?"
She had just answered to give him a simple hello, but Lee Hyun-woo jumped in with such a suggestion.
She was a little embarrassed.
But she had no reason to refuse.
No, in fact, she shouldn't refuse.
"Is that so? Where shall we meet?"
Resolving her heart, Choi Soo-hyun actively stepped forward and arranged an appointment time and place with him.
The meet up time was set for 1 hour later.
After hanging up the phone, Choi Soo-hyun checked her menstrual cycle first.
Because it was an inevitability she couldn't be sure if.
Her mind was wandering with the possibilities…
If Lee Hyeon-woo invited her to sleep today, it seemed that Choi Soo-hyeon would not be able to refuse.
'Shouldn't I still get what I deserve though?'
Choi Soo-hyun was not a virgin.
But that didn't mean she had carelessly rolled around in the bed with multiple men.
So if he asked to have sex with her, surely she should secure a solid price from him.
That was the minimum expectation from such an ask.
And when it came to a maximum ask, she wondered if she could ask of anything related to the cash back fee.
With these thoughts in mind, Choi Soo-hyeon started preparing for her outing like she was preparing for war.
Her hair was already washed before the start of the stream, so to wash her body, it would only take 20 minutes.
As she washed, she chose what underwear and clothes to wear.
Her entire closet unfolded within her mind.
Finally, after getting ready, there were only 20 minutes left before the appointment time.
However, it would take 30 minutes for her to get to the appointment site.
-Oppa.
-I'm leaving the house right now, but I think I'll be 10 minutes late.
-I'm so sorry.
-(Apologizing cat emoji)
First of all, she sent a Kakao Talk text to Lee Hyun-woo and called a free taxi.
'But wasn't the big shot supposed to be the one who picked up the girl on a date? I don't really know.'
It wasn't that long since she had started streaming, and it was only the first time for her to have a big shot like Lee Hyeon-woo in her room who sprinkled 10,000 or 20,000 coins at a time.
Eventually, she arrived at the meeting place.
Inside the high-end restaurant, Lee Hyeon-woo was already seated first.
When she opened the door to the private room and entered, she see Hyeon-Woo Lee.
She knew what his face looked like because they had already made a video call before, but it was the first time she had seen him in real life.
'How do I say this… my first impression of him is that of a very ordinary person.'
He was a person who doesn't seem to be particularly good or bad in her eyes.
His face wasn't handsome, and he was neither tall nor bulky.
'Should I still assess his atmosphere?'
She did, however, notice that there appeared to be a halo of self-confidence typical of rich people surrounding him though.
"Hello. It's the first time we've actually met. Nice to meet you, Unemployed Oppa."
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you. But will you still call me unemployed even in real life?"
"Ah! Yes. Then should I call you Hyunwoo oppa?"
When Choi Soo-hyun entered the room, side dishes began to be set on the table.
All of them looked very appetizing.
However, Choi Soo-hyeon did not know whether the food should have been placed into in nose or her mouth.
It was because she was way too nervous.
She had only ever been with two men.
The first was back in high school and the most recent time was during a relationship as a couple before she dropped out of college.
Other than that, she had never had a one night stand before.
That's why she was very nervous about the current situation, which was very similar to selling her body for a price.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Huh? Yes! Oh no."
When Lee Hyun-woo spoke to Choi Soo-hyun directly, she became very embarrassed.
She didn't realise that she didn't have the mental strength to actually do this.
When she had been thinking that she shouldn't push herself over the edge like this, her fighting power soared to help her out.
And yet, when she finally met Lee Hyeon-woo and thought of what could happen next, she became nervous and trembled again.

"Hmm..."
Lee Hyun-woo looked at Choi Soo-hyun wiping her chin with her finger.
As much as he had entered her stream just by looking at her face on the thumbnail, her appearance was actually quite pretty in real life.
She had a cute puppy look.
And creamy white skin.
Her body was a little disappointing, but if he just thought of her as a slender type of beauty, he could get over it.
Besides, she sang well too.
Her personality was also attractive since he had seen a ruthless side to her too.
So why was such a woman nervous?
She was saying she wasn't, but her nerves would have been palpable to even an idiot
"Are you embarrassed to eat with me?"
"No! Absolutely not."
"Then why? You haven't eaten much since earlier."
"..."
Choi Soo-Hyeon closed her mouth as if it was difficult to answer his question.
Lee Hyun-woo comforted the mute girl.
"Speak comfortably with me. Aren't we going to see each other for a long time? If not... Was it just me who thought so? Is it because you want to end the contract after a few months?"
"Absolutely not! I also want to get to know you for a long time!"
"Then why? Is it just that you feel unfamiliar?"
"Yes... I tend to be a bit shy. But it's not because oppa is any trouble!"
'Ohhh, I didn't realise that she was a shy person because she was so good at singing and doing cute things on the screen. Well, it's probably because she didn't have to see other people's faces on stream. Maybe…'
As much as Lee Hyeon-woo felt awkward because of his meal partner, he decided to make approaches with the atmosphere as an excuse.
"Even though time will solve shyness, it will still be inconvenient to eat this meal. So I have come up with a solution. Would you like to hear me out?"
"A solution? What is it...?"
"Are you right-handed? Or are you left-handed?"
"I use both hands. I have been playing the piano since I was little."
"Oh? Great. You mean you can eat with your left hand too?"
Hyunwoo Lee stood up after placing his chopsticks down and approached Soohyun Choi with his free hands.
"What? Eh?"
Choi Soo-hyun became extremely flustered at Lee Hyun-woo's movements.
'Was he trying to do something here? Anyway, wasn't this still a restaurant setting?'
Contrary to her wayward thoughts, Lee Hyun-woo only aimed for her hand.
"They say skinship is the best way to overcome the distance from shyness. If we hold hands like this, do you think we can become friends sooner? Besides, since we're in an uncomfortable position, it'll be easier to do this."
"Ah..."
Although what she had overthought did not happen, handholding was still very lewd and embarrassing in its own way.
She had never held hands while eating rice with her ex-boyfriend.
And so, a strange hand-in-hand meal began.
"It's what I suggested, but... Eating with one hand is a bit inconvenient. How is it for you, Suhyun? Is there anything inconvenient about using your left hand?"
"Ah Yes. I'm fine."
"Good luck then. Anyway, the food in this place is good. Seems we're not paying a high price for nothing."
"Yeah… I guess."
The conversation between the two proceeded with Lee Hyun-woo asking the questions and Choi Soo-hyun answering.
Still, Lee Hyun-woo was happy at the proceedings.
It had a different taste from when he spent time with Yeojjing or Darling.
The two of them were very proactive, and so he had to keep his spirits up and his brain switched on so as not to be swayed by their wily machinations.
However, talking with Choi Soo-hyun was a comfortable endeavour.
In fact, since she acted in a very low-key manner, he was able to talk to her with ease of mind.
"By the way, what is your typical day like?"
Choi Soo-Hyeon also asked questions here and there when the tension in her shoulders eased a bit.
And Lee Hyun-woo answered such questions without much thought.
"Well, I wake up, go to the gym, eat and watch streams."
"OMG... Then you're a real-life rich bum... Oh, sorry."
"Oh nah, there's no need to apologise. After all, I do as I like all day long. It's my job to play, haha."
"So you didn't join my stream just because you didn't want to come?"
Choi Soo-hyun asked her question very conscientiously.
However, that question ended up reminding Lee Hyun-woo of certain unpleasant memories.
Before he had come to meet Choi Soo-hyun, he recalled what happened with Lee Ye-rin.
Everything had been fine up until the cleaning blow job and sex.
The problem came after that.
Did Lee Ye-rin just plan on loafing around in Lee Hyun-woo's room?
He tried to send her back on her way home, but she said that she would never leave his house.
And if he was planning to go out, she became obsessed with joining him on his outing.
And so because he had a hard time getting rid of Lee Ye-Rin, his expression naturally hardened at the memories brought back up.
"Sorry if you felt offended! It wasn't a question with bad intentions. I was really just curious about this is all. Oppa signed a cashback contract with me, but the settlement day was set for the day after tomorrow, so I just wondered why you didn't join…"
Choi Soo-hyun, who noticed Lee Hyun-woo's morphed expression, urgently added.
It felt bad when she heard Lee Hyeon-woo had joined Yeo-jjing's stream instead of hers.
But even so, she didn't want to ruin her relationship with Lee Hyun-woo.
"Ah, it's not because of you that my expression hardened. Don't worry. I said I was busy earlier today, and it was also because of the same reason that I'd been busy yesterday too and so couldn't join your stream. And maybe, I'm not sure, but I think I'll be joining your room every two or three days from now on."
"Ah yes! Once every 2 or 3 days. So then two or three times a week, right?"
"Right."
"All right. I didn't know how frequently you planned to attend, so I wasn't too sure."
"I see. Sorry, I didn't expect you to feel that way. You should have contacted me about it beforehand."
"No, no. It's my fault for not waiting patiently. But what was the crazy thing keeping you busy? Was it such a bad issue?"
Choi Soo-hyun asked again.
Hyeon-Woo Lee pondered over her question for a moment.
'Should I tell her this or not? Meh, I'd rather not speak. Even if I do tell her about it, it will just be like scratching an itch without solving the underlying problem.'
"It's just something personal. Rather, after you finish eating, shall we go get some coffee?"
"Ah yes!"
