As I opened the packages, I wasn’t really worried.The people who sent me gifts were all people I knew.If they weren’t people I knew, they wouldn’t even have my home address.So, right now, I didn’t expect anything to jump out of a package.

“AAAH!!!”

I screamed as I fell backward.At the same time, I hit my head on the stack of boxes behind me.

“Ah…”

I couldn’t speak because of the pain.I hadn’t expected it to hurt this much.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You okay?][That looks like it hurts a lot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ][Did someone put a snake in the package? ㅋㅋ So funny][Haven’t seen a snake in ages ㅋㅋㅋ][Twispookjjikmareupne: Wasn’t this all from people you know? Why’s there a snake in there?][Let’s figure out who sent it ㅋㅋ This is super suspicious]

I sat there for a moment, waiting for the pain to subside, then struggled to get up.I went to see what had startled me.

“…It’s a toy snake.”

It was one of those toys that pops out when you open the lid.A toy designed just to scare people.

“Hah.”

I started rummaging through the package to find out who sent it, but—

“Ah, wait. I removed all the labels.”

I remembered that I had removed all the shipping labels earlier.Since I didn’t want my address exposed on stream, I had carefully peeled them all off.

“Hah…”

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ][But you need to know who sent it!][Didn’t you take a picture of it?][Should’ve taken a picture][Twispookjjikmareupne: If we compare the apartment visible in the live stream, we can probably figure out where you live][Temporary exit!][That’s some crazy bragging right there ㅋㅋ]

“Don’t react to that kind of thing. There’s a clause in the company contract that says those kinds of people should be handled immediately, so I don’t even need to pay attention.”

The company takes care of people like that automatically.But there was something more important right now.

“Anyway, look at my head. If I had hit it any harder, I might’ve been bleeding.”

I showed them my head, covered with bandages.It was a little messy with the bandages, but I didn’t have much of a choice.I had to do something before it got worse.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Wow, shit][That’s really swollen][You’re lucky your head didn’t crack open for real][We should definitely sue the person who sent the snake ㅋㅋ][🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I’ve seen people get sued for putting things like that in boxes before ㅋㅋ][For real, this is serious]

Even the viewers who usually joke around were genuinely worried.That just showed how badly swollen my head was.But still, I couldn’t end the stream.

‘I have to do what I came here for.’

It’s not like I was dying or anything, and the stream must go on.I sat down in my chair, trying to focus.

“Alright, I’m going to slowly open the rest of the packages. I don’t want to mess things up again.”

[For real][Yeah, take your time][🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Take your time, so you don’t get surprised again ㅋㅋ][It looks like it really hurts, but why is it so funny? ㅋㅋ][It’s hilarious though][Twispookjjikmareupne: Now that the worry time is over][Twispookjjikmareupne: Let’s open the rest of the packages ㅇㅇ][That’s some cold-hearted behavior, ㅋㅋ][You’ve got the personality of a dictator, for real ㄹㅇ]

The viewers were being pretty cold, but I didn’t mind.I had already received enough sympathy.Thinking that, I slowly started unwrapping the packages.

“Oh, this one’s a little special.”

It seemed like the previous package was the only weird one, because the other ones started containing regular, nice things.There were some really nice items in between.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Damn][Who would send something like this ㄷㄷ][This is crazy][That headphone is really expensive][But you must’ve been really good to the people around you to get gifts like this][🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: DaMa <<< Surprisingly likable..][DaMa is seriously cute ㅋㅋ][When you see DaMa during a drinking stream, it’s impossible not to like them]

I had been looking at headphones recently because I didn’t have a good one. So, getting a new pair of headphones as a gift really made me happy.

“I don’t know who sent this, but thank you.”

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Why don’t you know who sent it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ][You should at least know who it was..][It’s fine since I thanked the person who sent it][These headphones are really good][Twispookjjikmareupne: I use those when I’m gaming too][Twispookjjikmareupne: They’re really good]

I kept talking with the viewers while opening more packages.

And then, the next day.

“...Huh?”

My white pillow was stained bright red.And it was really bad.
