[Subject: Hello, Banye-nim. This is Almond TV.

Hello, Banye-nim. This is <Almond TV>.

I’m contacting you because I watched your NewTube channel, <Imshiyong>.

.

.]

After watching Banye’s game broadcast, Almond TV, a NewTube agency, contacted him.

Almond TV is a pretty famous agency. Just from what I know, there are quite a few big NewTubers like Huijae, Jikjin, and Moka.

From such an agency, they said they enjoyed Banye’s NewTube and were the first to propose wanting to have a meeting!

“This is amazing! Right?”

Even though it was a good enough proposal to make my head spin, Banye’s reaction was rather lukewarm. I couldn’t understand Banye’s reaction.

“Why? Don’t you like it?”

“No. Just…….”

Banye scrolled the mouse wheel with a face that anyone could see was unwilling.

I became anxious and hurriedly said to Banye.

“Let’s at least go to the meeting once. Okay?”

If we just go, a PD who’s better at speaking than me will persuade Banye. However, Banye still just stared blankly at the screen.

“Going all the way there…….”

“Going isn’t even difficult! Think of it as going to hang out and come back.”

“Want to go together?”

“M, me? I’m a bit…….”

If we’re going together, wouldn’t Jorangi-nim be better? Since Jorangi-nim is Banye’s editor. But I didn’t want to recommend going with Jorangi-nim, so I didn’t bother saying it.

“You’re the one who wanted to do this, hyung…… don’t you want to?”

“No, I’d love to!”

How could I dislike it! Rather, it felt good, like I was becoming Banye’s full-fledged manager. I just thought there might not be a need for me to go.

I encouraged the unwilling Banye and eventually set up a meeting.

* * *

Before I knew it, the day of the meeting arrived.

I changed into the best outfit among the clothes I owned. Seeing me dressed up, Banye had an expression like ‘why go that far?’

Meanwhile, Banye dressed exactly as usual, but since he was so handsome, there was an effect where he looked better than me even though I dressed up.

“Should I do your hair for you?”

“Hyung, do you know how to do hair?”

“Um…… I think I could follow along watching NewTube.”

An expression of distrust clearly crossed Banye’s face.

“No thanks.”

“Mmm…….”

He’s handsome enough already, but if we touched him up a bit more, the beauty of the century would be born…….

It was disappointing, but actually, he wasn’t keen on going out today in the first place, so I decided not to force it. Anyway, isn’t this a good day?

“It’s nice that they’re coming all the way here. Don’t you think?”

“Is it?”

“Mm. They’re going out of their way to come near us. That means they care about you that much!”

Even though I chattered excitedly, Banye didn’t react much. That brat, is he nervous? I continued talking to ease Banye’s tension.

And soon, we arrived at the promised cafe.

When I awkwardly made a phone call, a man sitting inside looked this way and waved his hand. As we approached him, the man made a very surprised face.

“Hello, I’m PD Kwon Taehyung from Almond TV. Are you Banye-nim?”

“Yes, hello.”

“Oh, you’re so handsome I thought light was shining as you came in.”

The man smiled good-naturedly, greeted me as well, and handed us each a business card. At the man’s recommendation, we ordered drinks and sat down amicably.

After briefly bringing up trivial surrounding topics like how nice the weather was, whether we’d eaten, etc., the man soon got to the main point.

“The moment I saw the Imshiyong channel, I had a feeling. Ah, this channel will make it.”

“Thank you.”

Since he wasn’t very keen on coming, I was honestly a bit worried about how Banye’s attitude would be, but Banye just answered silently even to embarrassing praise and didn’t show any particularly outstanding reaction.

“You have good speaking skills, and there’s no need to even mention your gaming skills. It’s still small in scale, but I thought it was a channel that could grow quickly, so I contacted you right away. ……Ah, here.”

The man who had been continuing to praise Banye took out a document envelope from his bag. From inside came out a thick bundle of documents.

“This is our contract. We do contracts with electronic contracts, but I printed it out for you to see easily, so take a look.”

The man unfolded the contract for us to see comfortably and took out a pen to start explaining.

Perhaps because it was a famous agency, the treatment was so good it made all the things I’d looked up in case of being scammed seem pointless.

I whispered to Banye.

“The treatment is really good. Banye, they must really think highly of you.”

Perhaps hearing my whisper, the man said good-naturedly.

“Of course. I can guarantee this is treatment that ranks among the best in the industry. Especially, our Almond TV has many game creators affiliated with us. We also have the know-how from working with such people.”

“Ah, yes…….”

“I think it would be good for Banye-nim to take a camera test.”

“……Camera test?”

Banye frowned slightly, but the man didn’t seem to care much and nodded.

“Yes. Since you have such a good face, if you reveal your face, subscribers will flock to you in an instant. If you contract with us, we’ll support camera equipment to the fullest.”

At the man’s words, I became proud for no reason.

See, I’m not the only one who thinks Banye is handsome. If you’re going to be a NewTuber, letting that face go to waste is wasteful. For the happiness of many people, you should reveal your face.

The man’s explanation continued for a while. After hearing all the explanations, Banye put the contract away. I looked at Banye with expectant eyes.

However.

“Then, I’ll think about it and contact you later.”

“Ah, yes yes. Think it over and contact me whichever way is comfortable, and we’ll proceed with the contract right away.”

The man spoke confidently as if he didn’t think he’d be rejected.

* * *

After that, having returned home with Banye, I watched Banye, not knowing what he was thinking.

“You’re going to contract, right?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why?”

If it’s Almond TV, it’s such a big company there’s no worry of being scammed, and all the conditions were only favorable to Banye.

“If you’re worried about the clauses, consult with a lawyer…….”

“No, it’s not that.”

Banye put down the contract he was holding with a thud on the dining table. Then he looked at the contract with a somewhat troubled face.

“Honestly…… it’s a bit scary.”

“……What’s scary?”

“Doing something like this…….”

Even after hearing plausible encouragement and explanations, or rather, perhaps because of that, Banye looked even more unwilling.

“I don’t really know.”

“……It would be good if you did it.”

Banye didn’t answer.

However, I thought it would be good if Banye definitely signed the contract. Rather than backing out because he doesn’t really know, even though we don’t know what will happen in the future, I thought it would be better to at least try.

‘Am I not the one to think about doing it…….’

I also failed entrance exams and am doing this now.

But perhaps because of that, I wanted Banye to change his mind even more. And on the other hand, I also had expectations that if I pushed, wouldn’t he do it like he has until now…….
