Chapter 6:

Live Stream 101

Heartstrings and Horns


“Why are you crying?” Yuna’s voice cut through the haze, her gaze fixed on my tear-streaked face.

“Huh?” I found myself momentarily speechless. I brushed away the tears streaming down my face and composed myself.

“I asked why were you crying?” She asked once again, looking a bit worried this time.

“Nothing…its just…I think its because of my amnesia, my head hurts a bit.”

“Most likely, those were fragments of my past memories. There’s no other explanation for it. But I can’t seem to remember any further,” I mused to myself.

“You should try resting a bit if that’s the case. Its already night anyways.” She suggested.

“No, its fine. I am curious as it is and this is the calmest time to actually understand this thing.” I said.

“As you wish…Its been a while since I did a live stream but it would be fun. Its not like we will be able to make some content midnight.” She said while switching on the system in front of her while sitting on her big chair which looked kind of good and expensive in quality.

“What is this live stream that you talk about?”

“Normally, we record something and then have to upload it on YouChube, but live stream means, you are directly interacting with the audience in real time. There’s no editing, no plans, no scripting for me when I am on a live stream till now. It makes it much more original after all.” She said while clicking the icons on the interface.

“I understand the original part but it wouldn’t work every time. If you don’t have anything planned before, it will just be a waste of time for both you and your audience.”

“First of all, you have zero idea as to how this thing works so stop calling it worthless all of the time. Only if it was such an easy occupation, every mother and their son would be on the platform.” She lashed out at me all of a sudden.

“Hmm, you do make sense but that doesn’t change the fact that the approach you use towards your live stream is worthless. Without any pre planning, there will be awkward silences during the stream and it wouldn’t be that intriguing for the viewers to watch.”

“Its called natural interaction. You can’t be having events like Q&A pre planned. Regardless, its not like I am totally aimless while doing these things. There’s always different topics floating inside the mind, that’s human nature.” She said.

‘That’s true as well. It depends from person to person on the quality of interaction they can provide…it seems I have quite a lot to learn as well.’ I thought.

“Okay, its done. I set the webcam up, my wifi’s super working as well, now we are just a button away from going live.” She said as she removed that cool-looking chair aside.

“Are you not going to use that chair?” I asked, longing to sit in its inviting embrace.

“Duh. I only have one of that gaming chair and we are two, you know? Its better for both of us to be standing, don’t you think?” She replied.

“Well, we do have an alternative. Why don’t we use that bed of yours to make it rather comfortable for both of us?”

“No, that’s not better. The bed doesn’t look that good plus it got all small cracks and all. You have to be superficial in this world of YouChube, so you can’t leave out these small details.” She said.

“Well, as you say.” I conceded, settling onto the bed and eagerly waiting for her to begin the live stream.

She pressed the “Live” button, and the interface on the rectangular screen transformed. Then, she stepped off-screen, as if waiting for something.

“Konnichiwa, minna-san! Ready to level up the excitement?I’m your kawaii host, Yoona Noona. Let’s rock this live stream together! Yoroshiku!” Her demeanor had completely changed, as if she were a different person altogether—full of expressions and bursting with personality.

‘Wow, is this the same person who was on the verge of suicide just a few moments ago?’ was my first thought.

“One more thing guys. From now on, I won’t be alone while making videos. We finally got a member for our youchube channel.” She said.

“Me?” I whispered, careful not to disrupt the atmosphere. She didn’t reply, as she was busy looking at the camera. However, it was probably my cue to join the stage. I stood up and walked towards her.

“So, everyone, welcome…welcome…” She paused, locking eyes with me, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

‘Oh…how is she going to introduce me? I don’t even know my own name.’ I thought, we both realizing the rabbit hole we had entered.

In that moment, an awkward silence enveloped everything, even the comment section paused for a brief moment.
