"Shit... Shit.. why is it glitching again?" Cheol-ho muttered to himself, pacing around the room. "I just posted an update! I just wanted to clarify things! Goddamn it! I don't deserve to suffer through this mess."

"Nothing's working. Nothing at all." He flopped onto the couch, staring at the frozen screen, cursor moving round and round in faint sky-blue, and a prompt appeared on the screen, suggesting him to end all the processes and refresh the desktop. "Subscribers can't comment... everyone's seeing the default image.. default is ruining my style.. default is crippiling my vibe. Why?

"Ugh... this is impossible. Impossible to recover from." Cheol-ho kicked the coffee table lightly, then grabbed his phone to try again. "Maybe if I do that—no, no, it won't work. Glitch. Always a glitch. My life is ruined. This glitch has ruined my life."

"Why now? Why me?" He whispered, hands clutching his head, fingers pulling his hair. "Why SmartTube? Why are you trying to sabotage me so cruelly?"

"Cheol-ho?" Charles voice came from the doorway.

"Charles! It's terrible. Truly horrible. I'm ruined. I can't recover from this. Just leave me alone. Don't look at me right now. Let me wallow in sadness." Charles shouted, waving his arms like a crazed fanatic. "Gone. Everything is gone."

"Why are you screaming man?" Charles said cautiously stepping in. "What's going on? Are you having a mental breakdown."

"My channel?" Cheol-ho rose for a moment, then flopped back on the couch. "It's... It's glitching like that little girl with a grating voice. Comments don't work. Logo's gone. Hell. Even the channel logo is a default glitched image. Everyone is seeing nothing. I'm losing subscribers as we speak. New users are skipping over my videos."

Charles raised an eyebrow. "Woah.. that's not good at all. It's bad."

"Bad is an understatement. It's catastrophic." Cheol-ho threw a pillow at the wall, aiming for the potrait hung on the wall. "I can't recover from this epic disaster. My followers are confused. My updates are invisible, no one is receiving them, and my old content is gone."

Charles sighed, rolled up his sleeves. "Alright. Calm down for a second. I have a plan."

"A plan?" Cheol-ho asked suspiciously. "You have a plan? I highly doubt that you know more about SmartTube than me."
