[💭] Unofficial (SKZ OT8 x Reader)

~ TIME SKIPPIEEEEE ~

Author's POV:

It has been a Hell of a couple months for the 5 of you, and now the moment has arrived... You were about to post your SKZ tribute on Youtube.

"Ah, I'm so excited~! I hope our 7 Subscribers like it." Amber beamed as she practically bounced on the spot.

"Well, if they subscribed, I'm pretty sure that means they like us." Hope replied, earning a playful glare from the buzzing girl beside her.

"Forget about them liking it. I hope they help get the video some recognition..." You added, watching both Casey and Rachel work on the laptop with a sigh. "I'd feel like our hard work would be flushed down the drain if we don't at Least rack up 100 views..."

"Don't be such a downer, Y/n. Our Subs can do it!" Amber assured, but it wasn't very assuring. Youtube's algorithim is atrocious... "How's the upload doing?"

"Ehh, it's getting there..." Rachel mumbled as their fingers typed away at the keyboard. "Wifi's being slow..."

Once that was said, Casey abruptly stood up.

"Everyone come off the Wifi. I'll go what I can do to speed it up." She said before grabbing her phone and walking off out the basement with Hope following behind her. You and the other two did as she said and switched onto their mobile data. Though, after you did, you shuffled over to Rachel and crouched down beside her.

"Did that make any difference..?" You asked quietly, only getting a shrug in return. You sighed again and shifted to sit on your butt, your legs bending to sit criss-cross applesauce while your arm moved to rest your cheek on your knuckles. "I'm not looking forward to this..."

"You and me, both.." The bean muttered before glancing up at you. "I've never been a fan of how Youtube tends to work. We probably shoulda started smaller, like a TikTok or whatever." They continued, soon looking back down at their laptop.

Annnndd there goes that slither of hope you were clinging on to. The most technical one out the lot of you hated how Youtube worked and has admitted that the group really should've put more thought into it. Lovely...

"Hey! Don't bring her down more than she already is, Rachel. We don't need that kinda negativity here." Amber scolded as she crossed her arms under her chest. "We All agreed to do this. And if this video doesn't go viral like we want, there's always the future."

The both of you just looked up at her silently before Rachel sighed.

"Fine. I guess you're right... But I'm just saying that if we had a group TikTok account, we were have at least 10+ Subscribers by now." They answered, leaning back and propped themselves up with their hands. "And I'm not meaning to be negative, I'm just stating facts. Youtube has become such a shitshow now. It's not as easy as it used to be."

Amber didn't have much of a comeback to that, as she too knows the struggles of Youtube. She was an aspiring Beauty-tuber. But since she couldn't afford any fancy equipment, or any more Make-Up, the quality was that of a Potato. And not many people like Potato Quality...

"Okay, you have a point- B-But we need to at least keep some faith! We are a K-Pop based channel, we've only been on Youtube for 6 collective months. We went from 3 Subscribers to 7 in 5 months, without posting Anything due to working on this tribute! That surely proves that with time, we will eventually blow up! The K-Pop community is strong, we just gotta wait for them..."

"But how long can we wait for..?" You asked quietly. "Sure 7 Subs in 6 months can be seen as good, but like you said, what we're about to post is a Tribute. A tribute that Stray Kids more than likely won't see-"

"Who cares if Stray Kids see it or not?? We are doing this not only for them, but for us too! We have put our heads together and have produced a hella good tribute. Aren't you at least proud of-"

"It's up..."

Yours and Amber eyed widened at what was said before slowly looking towards Rachel, who had slammed her laptop shut.

"W-What?.."

"I said, It's Up..."
