Chapter 120 - Cheating Day Chapter 120
The person who is burdened(5)
Even while Muk Eun-ji and Ahn Sang-kyu were persuading Kim Ki-tae, Baek Seung-yong’s worries continued.
Got it. “I understand how you feel, but for now, it’s better to stop walking and just stay here.”
Baek Woo-jin persuaded his friends.
Think about it. It’s hard enough just walking, and now it’s raining too. It’s not just coming; it’s for the whole month. What are you going to do if something happens?
“…….”
Baek Woo-jin’s opinion was valid.
We couldn’t overlook safety issues during the month-long monsoon.
Cha Ji-chan let out a long breath and closed his eyes.
He also knew the problems that could arise if the event were forced to proceed, so he couldn’t just go ahead with it blindly.
Above all, if Jujiseung, Banchanyong, Baek Woojin, and the porters got hurt or were put in danger, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself for leading them into such a situation.
“Okay.”
Cha Ji-chan opened his eyes.
“My stubbornness is right.”
Baek Woo-jin was delighted by Cha Ji-chan’s decision.
He also wanted to comfort Cha Ji-chan a little, knowing how much he must have struggled.
You thought well. No one would dare say anything to you, bro. Let’s just go to the place we promised to donate to and help out.
Banchan-yong placed his hand on Cha Ji-chan’s shoulder.
I felt sorry because I knew well what he had prepared and how hard he had worked for this.
Cha Ji-chan gently patted the side dishes with the back of his hand and stepped forward.
I’ll stop here. Thanks for coming.
Baek Woo-jin nodded at Cha Ji-chan’s words. Although they usually bicker, they sincerely cared for Cha Ji-chan and welcomed his decision.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course, it’s fine.” “What’s not okay?”
When Jujiseung asked, Baek Woojin looked back and forth between Cha Jichan and Jujiseung and spoke.
“That’s not it.”
Banchan-yong answered.
The current public opinion was divided between those who acknowledged that walking to the sky was realistically impossible and those who supported and sympathized with Cha Ji-chan.
Among those supporting Chajichan, there were quite a few who blamed WTV, Lateral, the companies that promised sponsorship, and those who canceled their participation.
“What will happen if everyone finds out that no one came today?”
At Ban Chan-yong’s question, Baek Woo-jin furrowed his brow.
It was obvious that a fight would break out between the fans of the YouTuber who was supposed to attend and the fans of Cha Ji-chan, arguing over who was right or wrong.
“Even now, there are many people blaming YouTubers who announced their absence from WTV, Lateral, and sponsors.”
Because of the broadcasting station, because of the production company, because of the companies and YouTubers, there were too many people who wanted to believe that the walk to the sky had been halted.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not.
Because they cared deeply for Cha Ji-chan, his fans were looking for someone to blame and resent.
Even now, when the decision on whether to proceed with the event has not been made, comments like “Why are you backing out now after making a promise?” and “Isn’t it too much considering you grew with the collaboration with Cha Ji-chan?” are being left on the YouTubers’ channels who have changed their minds.
Such actions were bound to create resentment, and the atmosphere between the subscribers of other YouTubers and the subscribers of Jimkkun was gradually becoming hostile.
If this continues, the porters will be thoroughly isolated in public opinion.
“Jichan hyung didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Ji-chan hyung didn’t do anything wrong.” WTV, Lateral, sponsors, and even the people who said they would participate, are not at fault.
Banchan-yong drew a line.
If there is a problem, the first is the abnormal climate phenomenon, and the second is those who, in order to defend Chajichan, shift the blame onto others.
“Okay.” We all know, right? “Who is the problem?”
“Ji-chan hyung isn’t the type to say anything to his subscribers.”
Banchan Yong nailed down Baek Woo-jin’s rebuttal.
A brief silence followed, and then Cha Ji-chan smiled.
“Brat.” I know it well.
Banchan-yong let out a small sigh.
“Okay.” How can you say anything about people who like me just because they made a mistake? Just saying that I ended it at my own line is a way to resolve things well all around.
Cha Ji-chan looked at Baek Woo-jin while pinching his philtrum against his nostrils.
“Whatever the reason, you tried to participate in a good cause but had to quit out of necessity.” I don’t want the people who tried to help me to get criticized. WTV, Letteral, sponsors, and YouTubers too. “It’s right for me to stop.”
Cha Ji-chan judged that the situation would be smoothly resolved if he took responsibility and stopped the work.
It was hard for Ju Ji-seung, Ban Chan-yong, and Baek Woo-jin to gauge how miserable it would be inside.
“Ha.”
Baek Woo-jin sighed.
Because of the weather, everything that was going well has gone to ruin.
It was unfair that the innocent Cha Ji-chan had to bear all the responsibility.
“Let’s wrap this up like that.” You have to do what needs to be done.
The three people, who were listening to the story with a complicated heart, looked up in surprise.
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve resolved the matter of causing trouble to others, so I should do what I promised.”
The three people couldn’t understand Chajichan’s words for a moment.
“You’re not really going, are you?”
When Baek Woo-jin asked, Cha Ji-chan nodded as if it were obvious.
“No, you said you wouldn’t.” I just told you I’m canceling the event.
“I’ll fold up to that sky on foot.” But it’s okay if I go alone, right?
“Exactly!” I told you earlier! I told you there’s no reason to go, right?
“Why isn’t it there?” It’s a promise.
Baek Woo-jin was left speechless by Cha Ji-chan’s answer.
“I decided to do it.” I’ll visit the subscribers and the people at the welfare facility, so let’s meet and hang out. We promised to eat something delicious. There were people who offered Pocari and others who said they would walk with me.
Donation was a one-sided affair.
It was hard to tell whether the offer of a drink or walking together was sincere or not.
Nevertheless, Cha Ji-chan regarded each comment as a promise.
“I’m going.”
Cha Ji-chan looked around at his friends and said.
“To stop walking all the way to the sky just because you’re alone, really.” 어. It must have been miserable. Thank you for coming. Really.
Chajichan was sincerely grateful to his friends.
If it weren’t for the three of them, I would have gone through with the event out of sheer stubbornness, but knowing that I had even a little support helped me regain my composure.
Still, there were at least three people who wanted to join, so I decided to go ahead with the event.
Ah. I knew this would happen.
Banchan-yong let out a deep sigh.
“You’re going to leave in the end, aren’t you?” “Why do you beat around the bush and make people anxious?”
“Right.” I was happy thinking you weren’t going.
Jujiseung also chimed in.
You don’t have to go. I told you we’re not having the event, right?
Cha Ji-chan stopped the two people.
“You’re leaving, right?” Am I someone who would walk all the way to Busan just for an event? “Since my brother is going, I’m going too.”
“Banchan.”
“This is also a promise, isn’t it?” Isn’t that right?
Banchanyong looked at Jujiseung and Baek Woojin and asked.
Joo Ji-seung smiled and nodded, while Baek Woo-jin tore at his hair. The words “Can’t you just take a car?” rose to the tip of my tongue.
Baek Woo-jin was just about to speak.
PD Ahn Sang-kyu opened the seminar room door and shouted.
“Boss!”
While everyone was puzzled, Director Kim Ki-tae, who they thought had left, followed in and said.
The reason he returned was something Baek Woo-jin could have predicted without needing to hear it, and he was in despair.
“Don’t do this.” “Don’t do this!”
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
A notice video has been uploaded to the Jimkkun channel.
-Saturday, I will start by sharing the results of today’s emergency meeting. I will finish walking to that sky from here. I’m sorry.
In the video, Cha Ji-chan bowed his head.
Due to unexpected weather issues, we considered various problems such as the safety of the participants and the feasibility of the event, and we thought it was right to conclude here.
Cha Ji-chan calmly explained the situation.
This decision was communicated to all 21 partner companies and 200 participants scheduled to attend, including WTV, Lateral, WH, EI, and Baroque, before the video was uploaded. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has been with us so far, and please refrain from excessive speculation beyond this video.
Cha Ji-chan let out a snort.
It’s disappointing that the event didn’t go as originally planned.
Cha Ji-chan’s lips twitched.
-But still, I intend to keep the promise I made to all of you. 네. I will go. I will visit all the places I initially planned and share a little bit. The content has changed a lot from the original plan and is lacking, but…
Cha Ji-chan clapped his hands once to lighten the mood.
-Thankfully, Brother Jiseung from Banyasikgyeong, Chanyong from the side dish store, and Woojin from Woojinious have agreed to join us. If I succeed in reaching Busan, I plan to donate ten million won, and if I fail, I plan to donate ten million one hundred thousand won.
Cha Ji-chan smiled slightly.
-Additionally, you have agreed to continue supporting a portion of the sponsorship funds promised by WH to reach the sky. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. I will organize and post the detailed information in the community.
Although the large-scale charity event “Walking to the Sky,” featuring 200 internet broadcasters and sponsored by various companies, was canceled.
Cha Ji-chan, Baek Woo-jin, Ju Ji-seung, and Banchan Yong, who have been boosting their stock prices with their lunchbox business, are joining forces once again.
In a situation where all the sponsors had withdrawn, the news that WH, the top company in South Korea, promised to sponsor was enough to create a huge stir.
└Are you really going to do this???
└Only WH is sponsoring this, lol.
Wow, only the good stuff is left.
└Putting everything else aside, I’m worried about my health.
└Exactly. It’s already tough enough to go, and you’re saying you’ll go in the rain?
└They said they were originally going to do it alone anyway. They said they had become successful with the help of those around them, but now they’re just back to where they started.
└No way, lol. Why is it ten million won if you succeed and twelve million won if you fail, lol?
A firm determination to save ten thousand won
└I will support you no matter what.
└Baek Woo-jin posted on the community.
└Reasons to walk: 1. Because I’m getting healthier, 2. Because it’s something I’ve never done before. 3. Because I need to save ten thousand won. 4. Actually, there’s nothing like that, I was kidnapped by the older guys. 5. Please save me.
└hahahahahahahahahaha
└That’s impressive. Even though the broadcasting station and the sponsorship have all dropped out, they’re still doing it.
└It seems like they can do that because they received help with what they originally intended to do. If the goal was to avoid a big event, it would have been impossible.
WH’s sponsorship is significant.
└They’re all backing out without any loyalty. The guys who were making a fuss about wanting to do it.
It’s strange to participate in a charity event with no merit when their livelihood is at stake. The kids who didn’t show up are normal, but the ones who did are strange.
└It’s always these kinds of people who won’t even share a thousand won of their own money, lol.
└Crazy.
└No way, lol. The lunchbox too, why are they acting like that, lol?
└I found the side dishes the most fascinating, haha. They always say they’re just looking out for their own interests, but they always end up participating in those things.
└For real, it’s really unexpected.
└No… What about Ju Ji-seung? If you get caught in the rain, your hair falls out. Please take care of the monk.
There is no hair left to fall out.
└hahahahahahahaha
└No, ㅠㅠ it grows a bit, but it doesn’t look good, so I’m just shaving it off. ㅠ
└This time, it seems like all the hair follicles will fall out, so I won’t have to shave anymore.
You were really bad, lol.
└It’s a pity. You must have been really looking forward to it at the orphanage and the nursing home.
└It can’t be helped. A company should also have some profit. It’s a relief that WH is still around.
