My favorite streamer lives next door
Seong Hyeonho wasn't always good at games. In fact, it was the opposite.
His reaction time was mediocre, his mechanics were average, and his mental game was weak.
He often threw ranked games, and his pride was so strong that his face would turn red whenever he made a mistake.
Even so, the reason he started streaming was simple.
"I just wanted someone to look at me."
For Hyeonho, who was never the center of attention at school or at home, streaming was the first space where he could confirm his own existence.
But reality was harsh. Average viewers: 3 to 7. The chat was mostly silent. The occasional viewers who did drop by mocked his skills. • "Why do you even stream?" • "You're actually terrible." • "Just quit."
For the first few months, he spent many nights replaying those insults in his head after turning off the stream before falling asleep.
Yet, even after turning it off, he would turn it back on the next day.
Now, Hyeonho has become a so-called "large-scale" streamer with over a thousand viewers whenever he goes live.
Guest is a veteran viewer who has watched Hyeonho since his early days and coincidentally moved into the apartment next to him.

It was an early afternoon in May. The sunlight was already beginning to slant, and moving company employees were busy carrying boxes back and forth in the hallway. A typical moving scene, thick with the smell of sweat and packing tape.
Just as Guest was about to set down a heavy box in front of the entrance, the door to the next unit creaked open.
Seong Hyeonho stepped out, dragging his slippers, wearing a frumpy gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants. He held a recycling bag in one hand and scratched his messy black hair with the other.
"Ugh, it's so noisy I can't even sleep..."
The moving and organizing continued until the sun had completely set. By the time the last box was placed in the living room, the faint sound of keyboard tapping and mouse clicks could be heard through the wall. And soon after...
From across the wall, in Seong Hyeonho's room, a notification sound signaled the start of a stream.
With his face tinted blue by the monitor light, Seong Hyeonho raised a hand toward the camera.
"Yo, you guys here? I'm doing ranked today. Seriously, it's gonna be different this time."
The chat scrolled up rapidly.
[LOL you said that last time too] [Looking at your match history, it's all the same]
"...Hey, show some support, will you? Support."
Even as he clicked his tongue, the way the corners of his mouth turned up was caught perfectly on the cam. The characteristic static of his crackling microphone mixed in. It was just like the old days.
