How does it feel to return to reality?

‘This is…’
If soone other than Baek Woohyun had seen this comnt, they would have thought ‘what nonsense.’
But for Baek Woohyun, who had actually spent ten years ‘over there’ and recently returned to reality, it was absolutely not content that could be passed off as idle talk.
Even the nickna Anonymous Viewer 62 subtly hinted at him, who had been Test Subject No. 62 when ‘over there,’ didn’t it?
‘It’s certain.’
Anonymous Viewer 62 was definitely related to ‘over there.’ This was a clear truth that couldn’t be dismissed as simple delusion or overreaction.
Because from the nickna to the comnt content, everything was related to ‘over there,’ and all of those things couldn’t all be coincidence.
The fact that the other party left comnts only on videos featuring Baek Woohyun among the nurous videos on Jeong Nayeon’s iTube also added certainty to his speculation.
“……”
Who exactly was Anonymous Viewer 62, why did they comnt here, what were they approaching for?
Countless questions filled Baek Woohyun’s mind.
And the biggest question among them was this.
‘What… is their relationship with ‘over there’?’
Were they a returnee like himself? Or so other kind of relationship?
Right now the only certainty was that Anonymous Viewer 62 knew that Baek Woohyun had returned from ‘over there,’ making it even more puzzling.
If they were a fellow returnee, there wouldn’t be much problem, but if not. If they weren’t soone who returned from ‘over there,’ but soone who sends people ‘over there’—
“What’s wrong? Is there so weird comnt? Should I delete it?”
“No, don’t delete it. You mustn’t.”
Baek Woohyun answered Jeong Nayeon, who asked while glancing at him, with a rigidly hardened expression. It was a resolute tone enough to make her unconsciously shrink back and nod.
Moreover, he even earnestly requested her to absolutely inform him if Anonymous Viewer 62 left a new comnt. Without caring even about the fact that this would seem strange.
It was an expression of will not to miss an existence that could be a connection to ‘over there,’ even if it ant receiving an uncomfortable gaze from Jeong Nayeon.
‘Should I approach first? Since they left a comnt, if I also attempt communication with a comnt from this side—’
‘Why is this person suddenly like this?’
“……”
“……”
Silence flowed between the two for a mont.
Baek Woohyun was busy pondering about Anonymous Viewer 62, and Jeong Nayeon kept her mouth shut, flustered by his sudden behavior.
However, such silence didn’t last very long. Because soon Jeong Nayeon rebelled thinking ‘Why should I be quiet?’ and opened her mouth.
She decided to pass over what he’d talked about regarding the comnt thinking there must be so circumstance, then continue the persuasion from earlier.
“Anyway! What’s important here is that revenue is generated just from gaming. You even registered at a gym, didn’t you? You’re tight on money!”
“Mmm—”
“Looks like you can’t grasp how big an amount broadcast revenue is, ah! Co to think of it, didn’t that Kang Soyul person say she’d settle broadcast revenue for you?”
“Right. She said she’d settle revenue for the first broadcast and clarification broadcast, 2 broadcasts worth.”
“Did you check how much ca out?”
“Haven’t looked yet. I ca right after exercising.”
“Then check right now! I guarantee it, if you see that, even you’ll change your mind!”
“Now?”
“Now!”
When Jeong Nayeon urged him incessantly chattering, Baek Woohyun shook his head and turned on the Hypernet.
It was to check the settlent details Kang Soyul sent, as she wished.
Anyway, even if he deeply contemplated Anonymous Viewer 62 right now, there was nothing he could separately do.
Of course, later when alone, he’d have to think about it again though.
“……!”
However, when checking the settlent email content Kang Soyul sent, Baek Woohyun’s expression couldn’t help but harden rigidly.
Because there too existed ntion about Anonymous Viewer 62. Moreover with even more explicit content than the iTube comnt.
According to Kang Soyul’s email, Anonymous Viewer 62 had donated one million won each across three tis, and the ssages contained within were as follows.
[Hello, Woohyun. It’s nice to et you again like this even in reality]
[Currently, a new Special Mission is prepared for you]
[From now on, I will see you when you are broadcasting]
“……”
To think they’d appear even in personal broadcast donations following the iTube comnt—though ti-wise the order would probably be reversed.
Moreover, the content conveyed through donation ssages was much more explicit than the comnt. ‘t again even in reality,’ ‘a new Special Mission is prepared’?
Anonymous Viewer 62 was outright saying they knew him from ‘over there.’
And one more thing knowable through this was—
‘They’re not a returnee like .’
—The fact that Anonymous Viewer 62 wasn’t soone who fell ‘over there’ and returned like Baek Woohyun.
He’d never once t soone who wanted to return to reality like himself ‘over there.’ Therefore, eting again didn’t make sense.
Adding to that, the story about a new Special Mission being prepared for him drove the final nail into speculation about Anonymous Viewer 62.
Because the existence that gave him Special Missions ‘over there’ wasn’t sothing that could be called human.
‘It’s the ‘System’ side.’
Baek Woohyun’s eyes sank heavily.
The System was a very bizarre counterpart to him.
Though not certain, it was the existence that sent him ‘over there,’ and simultaneously the existence that helped him survive ‘over there.’
It was also the existence that sent him back to reality after solving all the Special Missions it gave.
He just hadn’t expressed any particular emotion separately because it was an existence he couldn’t communicate with.
No one gets angry at a wall, right?
The System ‘over there’ had no personable sothing. In other words, it was close to so ‘law’ or ‘frawork.’
Seeing Anonymous Viewer 62, it seed that thought was apparently wrong.
‘What the new Special Mission and saying they’ll visit through broadcasts ans.’
In deeply subrged consciousness, Baek Woohyun thought.
First, it’s definite that Anonymous Viewer 62 is on the System side. Otherwise there wouldn’t have been talk of eting again or ntioning Special Missions.
However, it seed they couldn’t display the System before his eyes in reality like ‘over there.’ If that were truly possible, they would have done so yesterday evening.
Instead of leaving donation ssages or iTube comnts troublesoly like now.
“What, what, how much ca out to be like that?”
When Baek Woohyun kept his mouth shut, Jeong Nayeon subtly clung beside him and tried to check the email content he saw.
Since the only existence who could understand what Anonymous Viewer 62 said was only Baek Woohyun himself anyway, he disclosed the email content to her.
The content that Kang Soyul would settle millions of won—though three million of that was from Anonymous Viewer 62—as his share.
“Wow, this much for the first settlent? You only appeared on broadcasts twice though?”
Jeong Nayeon, who checked the amount, shouted in surprise.
Because even she hadn’t quite anticipated that hundreds of thousands of won would co out for just Baek Woohyun’s share alone, though she thought it would be a considerable amount.
It was even more surprising since Baek Woohyun had only appeared on broadcasts twice. Strictly speaking, it was practically earning close to three or four hundred thousand won per broadcast.
“Really no joke. Is this the prestige of a major corporation…”
A clear smile soon was carved on Jeong Nayeon’s lips as she unconsciously clicked her tongue.
It was a smile as if bragging ‘See!’
“Look! The settlent amount is insane! Of course we can’t earn that much at once, but if done well, we can receive millions of won per broadcast!”
“……”
Apparently Jeong Nayeon thought Baek Woohyun had frozen from being surprised seeing the amount.
Of course, his reaction was ultimately because of Anonymous Viewer 62, but it would look that way to her who didn’t know what the donation ssage content ant.
Instead of correcting her misunderstanding, Baek Woohyun looked at her and spoke briefly.
“Fine. Let’s do it.”
“Think of it as doing this instead of a part-ti job… What? You’ll do it? Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Kyaa—! I knew it! No taking back your words!”
“However, there’s a condition.”
At the words that there was a condition, Jeong Nayeon, who was about to jump for joy, stopped abruptly.
Because she got the feeling that looking at Baek Woohyun’s expression, he was trying to say a very important condition.
She gulped dry saliva and asked.
“Wha, what is it?”
“If donations co under the ID Anonymous Viewer 62, or comnts are left on iTube videos, absolutely inform . Regardless of any situation, absolutely!”
“Absolutely regardless of the situation?”
“Absolutely! Whether I’m sleeping, gaming, whatever I’m doing, don’t worry about it and tell .”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all.”
When Baek Woohyun nodded, Jeong Nayeon went “Phew~” and let out a sigh of relief.
Because she thought so trendous demand would co out with how much he’d set the atmosphere, but since specially managing just one viewer was hardly difficult.
And actually, even without Baek Woohyun’s earnest request, Anonymous Viewer 62 was soone she should have managed proactively from her side.
Because they were a big spender who donated as much as three million won, one million won at a ti across three tis.
“Got it! That much is easy!”
Jeong Nayeon didn’t bother asking what relationship Anonymous Viewer 62 had with Baek Woohyun, but just readily nodded.
Not because she worried Baek Woohyun’s mind would change if she asked unnecessarily complicatedly.
Though it would be a lie if such reason didn’t exist at all, it was more because the belief was greater that if it were content that truly needed knowing, he would step forward and inform her first.
Because that degree of trust had accumulated from spending a fairly long ti as friends.
“……”
Originally, Baek Woohyun had no intention of jumping into personal broadcasting, though he planned to play Reverse Planet to find out what relationship existed with ‘over there.’
Because even at Jeong Nayeon’s persuasion, he tried to decide after weighing the gains obtainable through broadcasting and the losses incurred from it.
Even that would have highly probably chosen refusal in the end.
But not anymore.
‘They said they’d co when broadcasting.’
Anonymous Viewer 62 ntioned they’d co when Baek Woohyun was broadcasting.
Though they shalessly left a comnt on Jeong Nayeon’s iTube video too, anyway the subsequent promise was set at the broadcast.
So he was in a position where he had no choice but to broadcast regardless of will. To not miss the connection that was barely established.
“……”
‘Over there’ and Reverse Planet, Planet Earth.
And now even ‘Anonymous Viewer 62.’
Baek Woohyun realized nothing had ended yet. Also the fact that nothing could be ended rely by escaping.
Only after digging up the relationships and secrets existing between them could he finally et the end. Such a premonition ca.
Whether the end that approached that way would be the conclusion he desired… was unknowable though.
