"Good evening everyone! Usagi here, how are you all today?" Chang-sun waved to the camera and grinned widely with the rabbit mask on.

[UsagisShirt: GOOD, VERY GOOD]

[SunsetNearTheShore: We're doing good!]

[CrazyFujoshiGal: USAGI IS LIVEEEEE WOOHOOOOO]

[TiredAf: Nice, I was just on time. Did I miss anything?]

[FlowersFlowers222: ^Replying to person up there! Nope u didn't miss anything!]

[PinkHeart: That's the popular streamer I was talking about Usagi! It's @TiredAf ]

Chang-sun saw the username called 'PinkHeart'. He could guess it was Jun. Chang-sun's eyes then moved over to read the username of 'TiredAf'

It was the first person who commented on his first ever stream. 'Was he really that popular? Thats amazing! I was mentioned by a very popular streamer!' Chang-sun felt so honored and happy.

He made his viewers chat for a bit before finally speaking. "Tired...Af was it? Did I say your username correctly?"

[TiredAf: You seperately say the A and F. Tired A F.]

"I see! What a unique username!......Were you the one that mentioned me in your post?" Chang-sun tilted his head while asking that.

[TiredAf: That's right. I wanted others to discover you. You have so much potential, it would be a waste.]

[ChocolateAndMint: I'm a new follower! And you're an amazing singer Usagi!]

[BlueFlakes: Yep yep!! Did you consider to be an idol one day? I'm sure you'll be easily accepted by an agency!!]

[CrazyFujoshiGal: You have a nice voice...A nice body.....And I'm sure you have a nice face as well!~]

[PinkHeart: I agree.....The whole package..]

Chang-sun blushed slightly when he read those comments. "...Well.....I don't plan to be an idol at the moment. I'm very busy with school..."

"Anyways! Shall I sing you all a song for today?"

[FlowersFlowers222: Oh oh! Sing "Make Love with You!"]

[MoonCakes: That song has so many inappropriate words. BUT GO FOR IT]

[SingingInTheBathroom: SING PRETTY LADY]

[LollipopYeah: How about Boy Next Door?]

[PinkHeart: You all have such trash music tastes! Are y'all teenage girls or something?!]

[PinkHeart: Usagi!! Open your donations! Whoever donates the most wins, and you'll sing the song they will request!]

It seems Jun is helping Chang-sun make some money. Pin who has been silent for a long time because of the embarrassment he felt earlier was finally willing to come out because of Jun's comment. Pin gave a thumbs up to Jun.

"....Eh? I don't accept donations though..."

The previous world was an exception because he really needed the money! But currently, he can just buy money from the system store if he runs out. Plus, Chang-sun's real goal was not money, but popularity.

[BananaMilk: My gosh...A streamer who doesn't open donations? Such a rare sight to see...]

[BlueFlakes: Usagi's content is free!!]

[Sunkissed: Nahhhh, Usagi should earn money!]

[TiredAf: Yes. Just open the donations.]

[PinkHeart: Listen to the one popular influencer in this chat!!]

Chang-sun had no choice but to comply. He sighed helplessly. "....Well, okay.."

After Chang-sun turned on the donations, he could see plenty of his viewers send donations. The virtual sound effect of cash was so loud it startled Chang-sun a bit.

MoonCakes donated 100 carrots

BananaMilk donated 100 carrots

FlowersFlowers222 donated 50 carrots

CrazyFujoshiGal donated 800 carrots

CookiesNCream donated 300 carrots

Pink Heart donated 200 carrots

TiredAf donated 1,000 carrots

More....

Chang-sun was speechless by the amount of money he's recieving. He earned more money than the first time he earned money...

"Th-Thank you everyone....I appreciate your support..." Chang-sun said with a flustered look.

[It's amazing how easily you can earn money. Other people had to do extra stuff]

[Maybe host is blessed with fortune]

'...I dont know about that...' Chang-sun sweatdropped. This was just too good to be true.

"Well, since TiredAf donated the most.......Carrots? Huh carrots....Well carrots, he should pick a song for me to sing!"

TiredAf purchased the VIP tier

'Theres a VIP tier in my stream room?! I did not put that in!' Chang-sun was shocked and surprised. What is he gonna do with all the money he has...?

Pin who was in the background just silently made a thumbs up. He was the one who secretly put in all the tiers. He thought that using points by buying useless stuff such as money in the System's Shop is worthless. The points were going to waste.

Why buy money and waste important points when you could just earn money?? That way Chang-sun can save his points for much more important stuff in the future.

[(VIP) TiredAf: Longing Soul]

[BlueFlakes: ！！！！]

[Icecream: ？！]

[CookiesNCream: *Shocked gif* ]

[ElectricPan: Why's everyone shocked]

[PinkHeart: MY GOSH! THAT SONG?! NO WAY!]

[BlueWhale: That song....Why that? Its a very hard to sing song, theres a lot of high notes. The song is filled with emotions if you portray it incorrectly then it would just look and sound bad. It will make you look like you're trying too hard.]

[BananaMilk: That's impossible! Usagi is a great singer, but I don't think he can sing THAT?!]

Chang-sun read all the comments with a pondering look. Longing Soul? First he needs to listen to the song. He searched the song in Newtube and listened to it while his viewers kept debating with each other.

[FlowersFlowers222: Will he really sing it..? That's some balls...At least practice singing it and come back after a few weeks or months!]

[ElectricPan: But we dont know what level Usagi is, we heard him sing. But maybe he's just holding back, wating patiently for the perfect moment to shine!]

[CrazyFujoshiGal: Thats some mc sh** right there]

[HelicopterHelicopter: Why did @TiredAf even request that kind of song??

[PinkHeart: Yeah...Why did he?!]

[(VIP) TiredAf: I want to see what he's capable of. Starting by letting him sing a very hard and iconic song.]

[BlueWhale: That's insane. It looked like Usagi just heard of this song today! If he doesn't practice then it'll hurt his throat]

[BlueWhale: No one can sing anything perfectly if they just heard of that song, in fact any kind of song as well!]

[(VIP) TiredAf: Unless if they are a music genius.]

Chang-sun just finished listening to the song. He felt goosebumps when he heard the Artist sing infront of a very large audience. It was beautiful and magical. Chang-sun could clearly see the emotions that the Artist is portraying.

Longing....

Chang-sun also longed for something....He longed to see Jian. He was lonely without him. He missed Jian everyday.

"It was an amazing song, I could relate to the emotions of the Artist a lot..." Chang-sun softly said while touching the honeysuckle on his palm.

"...I felt like something is about to burst inside me and I just wanna scream and let someone know, that I'm right here. My heart is aching just to see a glimpse of you...

Chang-sun almost couldn't control his emotions. He quickly tried to calm down with Pin's warm invisible hand.

'While I was in the training room, being separated with Jian was the most painful thing that could ever happen to me. I didn't know this type of pain existed...And it hurt. A lot....Was this also the type of feeling that Jian felt when we seperated?'

'This felt like the worst torture ever. I just want to see Jian and hug him so tight....I miss him...'

[.......]

[You'll see him soon, I'm sure of it.]

Everyone in the chat went silent from Chang-sun's words.

[CookiesNCream: Do you miss someone?]

"Yes...I do."

[Icecream: Have you not seen them since forever??]

Chang-sun lightly chuckles. "It felt like forever." But to Chang-sun, it was years. After he went out the training room, he briefly met Jian, but he couldn't see Jian nor hear him. He could only feel Jian's presence back in the System's space.

[DoorFrame: Is it a loved one?]

Chang-sun then softly smiles towards the camera. "......Yeah"

"Someone I, care about deeply."

[(VIP) TiredAf: How convenient, Longing Soul is the perfect song for you to sing your feelings and heart out]

[BagOfTarts: ^Person up there, you reeeeeally want to make Usagi sing that huh]

[(VIP) TiredAf: Of course, I payed money after all. It would be a waste if he doesn't sing. I'm investing money towards a potential star here, my job is not easy.]

[PinkHeart: Hmmm, true]

"Don't worry, I'll sing the song!" Chang-sun said with a bright smile, he suddenly had an idea popped in his head. He took his phone that was clipped in the phone stand. "Everyone I'm gonna sing in the roof. I'll be covering the camera first, so please be patient with me for a bit"

Chang-sun covered the camera before walking out of his apartment. He pressed the button to go to the rooftop of the apartment building. Fortunately there wasn't anyone present.

Chang-sun thought that the clouds will be a very great background for singing such a song.

When he arrived, he set the camera up and smiled towards his audience. He made sure to choose a spot where there is no buildings behind him, only the clouds and blue sky were seen.

"Today is such a beautiful day"

Chang-sun commented as he look up at the sky, his clothes and hair swayed with the wind, but the mask didn't budge one bit. "Now then....I shall sing you a song"
