Chapter 189
As I opened the packages, I wasn’t really worried.
The people who sent me gifts were all people I knew.
If they weren’t people I knew, they wouldn’t even have my home address.
So, right now, I didn’t expect anything to jump out of a package.
“AAAH!!!”
I screamed as I fell backward.
At the same time, I hit my head on the stack of boxes behind me.
“Ah…”
I couldn’t speak because of the pain.
I hadn’t expected it to hurt this much.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You okay?]
[That looks like it hurts a lot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Did someone put a snake in the package? ㅋㅋ So funny]
[Haven’t seen a snake in ages ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: Wasn’t this all from people you know? Why’s there a snake in there?]
[Let’s figure out who sent it ㅋㅋ This is super suspicious]
I sat there for a moment, waiting for the pain to subside, then struggled to get up.
I went to see what had startled me.
“…It’s a toy snake.”
It was one of those toys that pops out when you open the lid.
A toy designed just to scare people.
“Hah.”
I started rummaging through the package to find out who sent it, but—
“Ah, wait. I removed all the labels.”
I remembered that I had removed all the shipping labels earlier.
Since I didn’t want my address exposed on stream, I had carefully peeled them all off.
“Hah…”
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[But you need to know who sent it!]
[Didn’t you take a picture of it?]
[Should’ve taken a picture]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: If we compare the apartment visible in the live stream, we can probably figure out where you live]
[Temporary exit!]
[That’s some crazy bragging right there ㅋㅋ]
“Don’t react to that kind of thing. There’s a clause in the company contract that says those kinds of people should be handled immediately, so I don’t even need to pay attention.”
The company takes care of people like that automatically.
But there was something more important right now.
“Anyway, look at my head. If I had hit it any harder, I might’ve been bleeding.”
I showed them my head, covered with bandages.
It was a little messy with the bandages, but I didn’t have much of a choice.
I had to do something before it got worse.
[Twispookjjikmareupne: Wow, shit]
[That’s really swollen]
[You’re lucky your head didn’t crack open for real]
[We should definitely sue the person who sent the snake ㅋㅋ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I’ve seen people get sued for putting things like that in boxes before ㅋㅋ]
[For real, this is serious]
Even the viewers who usually joke around were genuinely worried.
That just showed how badly swollen my head was.
But still, I couldn’t end the stream.
‘I have to do what I came here for.’
It’s not like I was dying or anything, and the stream must go on.
I sat down in my chair, trying to focus.
“Alright, I’m going to slowly open the rest of the packages. I don’t want to mess things up again.”
[For real]
[Yeah, take your time]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Take your time, so you don’t get surprised again ㅋㅋ]
[It looks like it really hurts, but why is it so funny? ㅋㅋ]
[It’s hilarious though]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: Now that the worry time is over]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: Let’s open the rest of the packages ㅇㅇ]
[That’s some cold-hearted behavior, ㅋㅋ]
[You’ve got the personality of a dictator, for real ㄹㅇ]
The viewers were being pretty cold, but I didn’t mind.
I had already received enough sympathy.
Thinking that, I slowly started unwrapping the packages.
“Oh, this one’s a little special.”
It seemed like the previous package was the only weird one, because the other ones started containing regular, nice things.
There were some really nice items in between.
[Twispookjjikmareupne: Damn]
[Who would send something like this ㄷㄷ]
[This is crazy]
[That headphone is really expensive]
[But you must’ve been really good to the people around you to get gifts like this]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: DaMa <<< Surprisingly likable..]
[DaMa is seriously cute ㅋㅋ]
[When you see DaMa during a drinking stream, it’s impossible not to like them]
I had been looking at headphones recently because I didn’t have a good one. So, getting a new pair of headphones as a gift really made me happy.
“I don’t know who sent this, but thank you.”
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Why don’t you know who sent it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[You should at least know who it was..]
[It’s fine since I thanked the person who sent it]
[These headphones are really good]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: I use those when I’m gaming too]
[Twispookjjikmareupne: They’re really good]
I kept talking with the viewers while opening more packages.
And then, the next day.
“...Huh?”
My white pillow was stained bright red.
And it was really bad.
