LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 87
At almost the exact moment I was aiming for, I froze like I just saw Medusa.
The only good thing is that we weren’t on camera, so my older sister’s face didn’t get exposed, but I was mentally stunned by a conversation that could easily lead to a bigger misunderstanding.
“S-sis. I’m streaming right now…”
“I’m sorry…! I totally forgot….”
Seo-ha rushed out of the room after apologizing.
I didn’t really care about receiving an apology, so I ended up feeling awkward too. What if she thinks she interrupted my broadcast? Should I go after her?
While I was contemplating, a donation notification popped up.
【’Kokkiyaho’ donated 5,000 Cheeses!】
– Bring back your girlfriend for an interview, let’s go!
【Allfreed】 – An interview sounds good, let’s do it!
【Catfish With Salmon】 – Sis, don’t go…
【BlueRageGame】 – Just turn off the cam and only use your voice…
“Uhm…. interview?”
I was taken aback by the viewers suddenly wanting an interview with Seo-ha, as if they desperately wanted to talk to her.
Even if she frequently watched my stream, being on it herself was a whole different ball game. Even if the camera was off, just having her voice broadcasted would be quite a burden.
Well, it’s probably better to decline.
“Ah, folks. It might be a bit much to have my sister come on suddenly…”
Knock, knock.
“…Huh?”
Just as I was trying to refuse, a sound of knocking interrupted us.
Peeking through the slightly opened door was Seo-ha, looking at me with her eyes wide open.
“Hey, Uju. I’m okay with being on the show…”
“Huh? You’re okay with it?”
Wait a minute. Has she been watching the stream this whole time?
【Passing App Dungi】 – Wowww!
【That’s Just My Face】 – I’m dead lmao!
【White Forest】 – Extreme!
【Moscos】 – Rock on!
Since Seo-ha didn’t lower her voice, the viewers seemed to have caught all our conversation, and their excitement was off the charts.
At this point, it felt like I couldn’t back out even if I wanted to. I was planning to decline because I thought she might feel pressured, but now, that excuse was out the window.
“Uh, just a second, sis. Let me turn off the camera first, can you wait a moment?”
“Sure.”
With no other choice, I pulled up a chair for her and turned off the camera.
As she cautiously sat down, ready, Seo-ha adjusted her posture.
“Um… hey guys, I brought my sister on the show! But you know, she’s just a regular person, so please be careful with your words.”
I wasn’t sure if calling the youngest daughter of Changseong Group a regular person was appropriate, but anyway, I gave the warning.
【Bera666】 – Okay!
【White, Red, Black】 – Just trust us!
【TWS2425】 – Settle down, or we’ll have the cops at our door, lol!
Well, I was feeling uneasy, but since I brought her on, I couldn’t back out now. I just had to be as careful as possible.
“Hey sis, can you introduce yourself to everyone?”
“Sure. Hello, viewers. I’m Ryu Seo-ha, Uju’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you!”
“……!?”
Her nonchalant declaration left my eyes wide open. Is this okay?
【Mushroom Soup】 – Casual real-name reveal, wow!
【Missing Frog】 – OMG!
【29ana】 – Hi hi!
【Ullary Hilary】 – Such a unique name!
Fortunately, it seemed that none of the viewers recognized her; they were all busy complimenting her voice and saying how pretty her name was.
Phew, at least that was a relief.
“I’m so sorry for stealing Uju from you, Dust Group. He had to leave his stream early yesterday because of me…”
Just so you know, ‘Dust Group’ is what I call my viewers. I got hooked on that term after reading an internet tidbit about ‘Uju’s Dust,’ and suddenly decided that was going to be our name.
Why in the world did I choose such a lame name?
【Potato Ring】 – It’s okay, sis!!!!!!!
【Neighbor’s Hani】 – We apologize for passing around a useless guy…
【Holic Shak】 – But how did you two get together?
Look how polite everyone is just because my sister is here.
Good job, keep it that way.
“Ah, how did we end up dating? I was a big fan of Uju and casually approached him and made my move. Uju’s so innocent and kind that he didn’t even suspect a thing. So I just snatched him up!”
【Cro-Magnon】 – Whoaaa!
【Astral Chronicles】 – So envious, dude…
【Chuu Chuu】 – Innocent? Kind?
While it’s not entirely untrue, hearing it from a third-person perspective made my face heat up. Meanwhile, the chat was filled with jealousy and envy directed at me.
Well, if you’re envious, maybe go find a girlfriend like mine.
“It’s been quite a while since I joined the Dust Group. I’ve been watching since like a month or two after Uju started streaming.”
“Really? That long ago?”
I was surprised since I hadn’t heard the details about how long she had been a fan. Thinking back, I didn’t even know what nickname she used back then.
“Yeah, I’ve only watched your streams since then and not anyone else’s. I was totally devoted.”
“I see… that makes me shy.”
Most fans of streamers watch a variety of streams, so it was pretty impressive she was so dedicated to mine.
That made my cheeks a bit warmer when she sweetly smiled and took my hand resting on the armrest. She really was sincere about me, and it felt quite special.
【Adios Dao】 – Yo, stop putting so much sugar!
【Monggu Sam】 – Wow, you’ve liked him since he was a small-time streamer!
【Soju Flavored Hand Cream】 – Damn, why don’t I have a girlfriend like this?
【I’m Telling The Teacher】 – Can I swallow a LEGO now?
Just as we were lost in our own sweet little world, the chat room exploded again.
They clearly were acting like toddlers who couldn’t wait to sound off about the absurdity of it all.
“By the way, sis, can you tell us what your nickname is? I don’t think I’ve heard it before.”
“Ah, right. I kept it a secret when we first met.”
“True.”
I remembered the diary I saw yesterday didn’t mention her nickname, just that it was kept secret.
I wanted to ask for her manager info in case she popped up on my stream, but then, like clockwork, another donation jumped in.
【’Cro-Magnon’ donated 2,000 Cheeses!】
– Your name is the same as Changseong Group’s daughter. Are you really her?
Ah, so people are catching on.
I mean, her name isn’t exactly common. But since she hadn’t shown her face, I figured we could get past this without it blowing up. The person who sent that donation probably wasn’t seriously asking, either.
What kind of lunatic would think his favorite streamer suddenly has a girlfriend who’s the daughter of the CEO of a major company? They’d probably just assume it was a coincidence.
【Lucid Dream 7】 – No way, lol!
【Puffcake】 – That’s some next-level humor, lol!
【Pink Rabbit】 – Hahahahaha!
Yeah, that’s the normal reaction.
I should jump in and clear things up while I can…
“Yes, that’s right. It’s me.”
“…Sis?”
The moment I thought that, Seo-ha calmly nodded and flashed a smile that was eerily nonchalant.
Time felt like it stopped for a brief moment.
【That’s It, Cosmo…】 – Huh?
【Hounyangie】 – Huh?
【Allfreed】 – Yeah?
【BlueBungieWooRuh】 – Oh, I see what’s going on here.
Meanwhile, the viewers thought she was joking and were busy hyping themselves up.
At this rate, I felt like I could clean everything up.
“Oh, and you just asked what my nickname was, Uju?”
“Uh, right.”
I glanced into the mic to respond, but before I could, Seo-ha’s mouth opened again, not giving me a chance.
Why would she tell her nickname in such a chaotic moment? It felt risky.
“Actually, my nickname is ‘Cosmo Absolute Protector.’”
“…What?”
Looking at me with a cheeky smile, Seo-ha announced her cheesy nickname without a care in the world. At that moment, time felt like it froze again.
Cosmo Absolute Protector? I feel like I’ve heard that name before. No, I’ve heard it a lot; it’s strangely familiar.
That nickname belongs to the top donor of our stream, doesn’t it?
Oh, could it be that she’s trying to joke around after watching my stream? My sister knows how to play the stream game.
“See? That’s my nickname.”
“……”
As I painfully tried to look away from reality and laugh it off, Seo-ha, holding her phone, opened the Cheese app to show her user information with a bright smile.
‘Cosmo Absolute Protector’
With seven cheesy letters and the title of ‘Top Donor of Mr. Cosmo’s Stream’ glaring back at me.
“Oh, I guess the viewers can’t see this. Let me turn the camera on for a bit, Uju?”
Following that, she turned on the camera and showed her phone, boldly revealing she was indeed the top donor of the stream.
Finally, she added, “Take care of our Uju, guys.”
Her smile while leaning in to the camera to show her face, looking all too confident, screamed that she was the daughter of the CEO of Changseong Group.
The chat was guaranteed to explode again.
【Kokkiyaho】 – ?????????????????????????????
【Ready for Dinner】 – Wait a second, I just checked the Aiver profile, it’s actually true?
【29ana】 – ????? What? Is this a prank?
I couldn’t help but feel like my sister was trying to get my face on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper.
At that moment, the thought popped into my head.
