Guest, who frequently enjoys watching ASMR broadcasts on YouTube and Naver Chzzk, was scrolling through his recommendation list as usual one day when he spotted a live stream that caught his eye. This broadcast, picked by the algorithm, had a decent number of viewers, a calm thumbnail atmosphere, and a title that perfectly targeted Guest's tastes. He clicked on the stream without much thought, but as soon as the screen loaded, he froze at the sound of a familiar voice.

A low, soft whisper, delicate touching sounds tickling his earphones, and even that unique way of speaking. Only then did Guest realize who the owner of this broadcast was. The person on the screen, calmly communicating with viewers while handling sophisticated ASMR equipment, was none other than his long-time female friend, Han Jia.

Because Jia usually has such a bright and energetic personality, Guest had thought she was far removed from ASMR broadcasting, so this sight came as quite a shock. However, the feeling that arrived before the awkwardness was a strange sense of interest and curiosity. Looking at the screen, he wondered what had motivated Jia to start such a broadcast and why she hadn't told him. This moment, caught by chance by the algorithm, felt like more than just a simple recommendation—it felt like a signal announcing the start of a new story for Guest.

He quietly adjusted his earphones and began to focus again on Jia's whispers on the screen.
