Currently, Kayak’s housewarming broadcast is a gathering of all streamers related to her.
The viewer count is 70,000. This is a result of Kayak’s comeback broadcast and the assembly of numerous streamers.
Community users say, “Kayak Squad Assemble!” In just about a year since starting her broadcast, Kayak has taken over Twitch.
Her influence on Twitch is definitely not small, and this broadcast is like a show where you can see who is closely related to Kayak and who’s in her line.
[Kayak Squad Assemble!]
[All streamers Kayak can mobilize have gathered]
[With this many people gathered, none have below 10k followers]
[Did Jjangmila also cross 10k?]
[Last time, after collabing with Kayak, she hit 12k in one go lol]
[Look at that fierce lineup ㄷㄷ]
[Not a single Hako in sight]
[Kadu-gwang’s Twitch takeover operation ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[So the Kayak line actually exists?]
[So, is the Taker the leader or is Kayak the leader?]
Viewers love numbers. They don’t care about what kind of broadcasts each streamer does or what charms they might have.
They only concern themselves with how many viewers this person has, how many followers that person has, and how many V-Tube subscribers someone has.
It’s like a side effect of having watched internet broadcasts for so long. The days of purely enjoying favorite shows and content are long gone, and their mindset has aged differently now.
Viewer count, follower count, someone’s recognition, subscriber count have become the measures of fun. They don’t pay attention to the essential qualities like broadcasting characteristics, strengths, or preferences of specific streamers.
They focus more on the numbers. It’s hard to say why. Maybe it’s because that releases more dopamine.
Dividing streamers by viewer count, constantly holding ridiculous “Who’s Better” tournaments, and igniting the community with trivial bait—this is how they enjoy broadcasts, which is exactly why stories about the Kayak line started circulating.
However, Kayak showed no signs of being bothered by any of it. In fact, there was no reason to. Just like always, viewers are strange creatures who get excited and then cool off all by themselves.
She simply did what she had to do. As the homeowner who invited people to the housewarming, she hosted her guests.
As the owner who summoned the guests, I had to treat them well.
“Wow, did you do all of this yourself?”
“Well, I bought a few things… but I made most of it myself.”
A housewarming is basically a kind of party. Since I moved, people come to congratulate me, and I treat them in return.
What’s the most important thing in hosting guests? Food, of course! Since there’s really nothing else to prepare besides the meal.
And so, Kayak was busy preparing the food, running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, cooking and carrying everything.
“Can I help you with something?”
“No, no, just sit down. Taker, you’ve already brought gifts and you even helped out. I can’t let you do this too, or I’ll feel bad! You can lie down over there or just relax.”
Taker, LimeTack, Cheonhun, and others arrived earlier than Kayak had announced.
Because of that, Kayak was still in the middle of her preparations. Whenever someone arrived, she would greet them and accept their gifts before diving back into cooking.
Seeing her busy, Taker attempted to lend a hand but was stopped. Instead, he instinctively picked up his phone.
“Then I’ll do a broadcast. I’ll capture Kayak’s hard work on camera.”
“Sure, I’m fine! Taker, please give the viewers a tour of the house. There are no rooms off-limits, so feel free to explore everywhere.”
“Even so, showing someone around someone else’s house without permission feels a bit…”
Kayak had her mobile broadcast running on her phone. Instead of her, Taker took over the broadcast duties.
[Whoa]
[Kayak’s sweet house tour ㄷㄷㄷ]
[Taker is showing us the house? Hmm…]
[The two of them ㅁㅇㅁㅇ]
[Taker, behave yourself ^^]
[Don’t go snooping around a woman’s room, Gunhee]
[Kayak can give the tour later; let’s just film her cooking]
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen the host cook]
Even though Kayak had given her permission, it would be inappropriate for Taker to roam the house alone while the broadcast was on without her accompanying him.
So, Taker quietly sat down and started filming Kayak. Occasionally, he would film the other streamers as they came, exchanging brief greetings, but most of the camera time was focused on Kayak.
What the viewers most wanted to see was Kayak, so it was only natural.
What Kayak was doing was cooking, so it was only natural.
[The vibe feels like a party lol]
[It’s a housewarming, so it’s a home party, right?]
[Hehe… Kayak’s back looks so good…]
[Just watching her cook makes me feel at ease.]
[Seriously, how does she have a body like that?]
[Older Sister ㅠㅠ Those jeans look so pretty ㅠㅠ]
Currently, Kayak’s outfit consisted of a white blouse and jeans. It was a completely unremarkable, ordinary look, but fashion is often different depending on who wears it.
Even though Kayak was focused solely on cooking without saying a word, an elegant and pure atmosphere naturally emanated from her. Both viewers and the Taker, who was busy filming her, found themselves distracted, caught up in her presence.
Then, the Taker muttered quietly.
“That looks delicious.”
[?]
[?? What?]
[Oh….]
[? Did I hear that right?]
[No kidding, that does look delicious.]
[Gunhee… I can’t defend this.]
[Too far.]
[What suddenly makes it delicious??]
[Taker/Controversy/Sexual Harassment]
[It must have been about the food, you crazy people lol]
The chat exploded like a disturbed beehive.
The broadcast was currently only showing Kayak’s back as she cooked, so from the viewers’ perspective, it looked like the Taker suddenly made a comment about how delicious Kayak looked.
However, from where the Taker was sitting, he could see the entire cooking process, so he was purely expressing admiration for her cooking. It was just a small misunderstanding.
Seeing the chaotic chat, the Taker, shocked, protested,
“No, you guys. Obviously, I was talking about the food. Do you think I’m insane enough to sexually harass her…? You people are really out of your minds…? It’s like you all want me to fall into a pit of despair. You’re the ones being lewd. How can you even have such a filthy thought? With a Confucian Dragon in my heart, it’s something I can’t even imagine—”
Right when he was murmuring this while moving to a corner so Kayak wouldn’t hear him,
“Taker.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Come here for a moment.”
“Okayyyy….”
Called by Kayak, the Taker left off scolding the viewers and headed back to the kitchen.
I headed back to the kitchen.
Suddenly, chopsticks were thrust toward me. They held perfectly cooked stir-fried pork. It was handed over by Kayak.
“Could you taste this? I’ve seen it once, but I’m not sure…”
“Uh… me?”
“Everyone else stepped out for a bit. Riri got lost, so I went to get her.”
So that meant it was just Kayak and the Taker in this house.
“No, I’m not—”
“Come on, eat up!”
Does this person not realize what they’re doing? For some reason, they insist on holding the chopsticks and feeding me.
Their mouth is shut tight as if they wouldn’t accept any opposition. Snow-white skin and those eyes that blink slowly in real time.
Kayak’s unique blue eyes are completely focused on the Taker, staring as if they’re just waiting for them to eat the food they made.
Faced with that gaze, the Taker felt unexpectedly tense and turned their head to avoid Kayak’s eyes. For some reason, their mouth felt slightly dry, and their neck had a strange tightness.
As they hesitated for a moment, Kayak brought the chopsticks closer to their lips.
“Please try it, and check if it’s salty or not. Also, see if there are any off smells.”
“Ah, sure.”
The Taker obediently accepted the meat Kayak offered. They looked almost like a baby bird being fed by its mother—so utterly compliant.
[Taker, you hopeless fool]
[Die, die, die, die, die]
[Why are you feeding me though?]
[Is this fan service because Taker gave a lot of gifts? Ah, lol, that must be it!]
[In the end, it’s all about a man’s wealth… Kayak has succumbed to Taker’s riches… lol]
[Burning 200 on a housewarming gift was worth it, lol]
[Who said Taker and Kayak have a bad relationship? Lol, it’s dripping with sweetness!]
[Are those two dating?]
[Watching everyone else flirt on a Saturday evening is the highlight of my life, lol]
[Ah… damn…]
[My head hurts]
The Taker felt as if they could see the chat even without looking at it.
