After That
"No way… you mess with Wooju unnie all the time, and yet…"
"Yes."
"You seem to keep your distance from me…!"
"Do I?"
Is she jealous?? lmaooo
I mean, to be fair, she does bully Wooju the most
"Yes! I want to get close to you, Rose!"
"I see."
"Bully me too, please! It's okay if it's you, Rose!"
LMAOOOOOOOO
Wait, she was a masochist this whole time?
└ This message was deleted.
"Uh… sure, then."
lol fair enough, that'd throw anyone off
LMAOOOOO
"Sob! I'm the unnie here! I'm older! But you feel so much more like an unnie, Rose!"
she's actually adorable lmaooo
Is Shiru crying?? lmaooo
"Oh? Unnie?"
(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
One sip of alcohol and she starts calling her unnie lmaooo
My heart just skipped a beat
"Gasp! Did I just call you unnie?!"
"Yes."
"Wow! That sounds so nice! O-one more time, please!"
So freaking cute lmaoooo
Shiru, accepted.
Honestly, we should just replace the maknae
"If you want to hear it again, take this and go to sleep."
"Okay! You have to tell me tomorrow!"
"I never agreed to that."
Okay but that was kind of sweet?
For real, forget the recording — she actually takes care of her?
"I never agreed to that" LMAOOOOO
Hmm. The chat's calm enough now. I could live with this.
I relaxed a little, relieved that the chat window had steadied considerably compared to earlier.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
Huh? Who could that be?
Was anyone supposed to contact me right now?
…Right. There was someone.
"Shiru's calling me on Discord."
Apparently she'd been watching my stream.
She's already on it lmaooo
Too late though lmaooo
Boop!
"Hello?! Rose!"
"Yes."
"Wait! Something like that happened?! Nobody told me!"
"Right, because I never mentioned it. It'd be strange if you knew."
I never told her — so of course she wouldn't know.
Heck, I'd only just remembered it myself a minute ago.
She never told her lmaooo
Of course she wouldn't know LMAOOOOO
"Nooo! How could you just drop something like that on stream without discussing it with us first!"
Well, I had something to say about that too.
"By that logic, you never contacted me before bringing it up on stream either, Hanbyeol."
LMAOOOO
Pot calling the kettle black, fr lmaoooo
"Aaagh! Fine! I take it back! Stop bullying me!"
Hmm. If you say so.
"Okay."
Cold as ice lmaooo
Aha, congrats — you've got yourself a second punching bag lmaoooo
"…Aren't you being a little too cool about it?"
…What am I supposed to do with that?
She's sulking lmaooo
Everyone look at Rose's face right now lmaoooo
The literal embodiment of "and what do you want me to do about it" lmaooo
"Grr! Anyway! Is there anything else like that?!"
"No."
Maybe Shiru's just the only one without one
lol what if each member has their own secret like this
Hmm. Fair enough — hard to trust me on that.
…But really, there isn't.
"I'm leaving now! Don't stop me!"
"Wouldn't asking whether I intended to stop you in the first place come first?"
This is a bit, right? It has to be?
She's going WAY too far lmaoooo
New quote for the quote compilation, updated lmao
"…Fine. I'm going."
"Okay."
Boop!
She hung up smoothly. Good streamer etiquette.
LMAOOOOOO
Honestly, I think she genuinely means every word of it
Ah, the words slipped out again.
I really need to watch my mouth.
"I suppose I still have more to learn."
Even the deadpan's got things left to learn, huh
She's still GROWING…?
"Anyway, let's move on to the last video."
I clicked on Yerin's clip, the only one left.
"Rose is… actually kinder than I thought…"
Hmm… the timing on that one is really unfortunate…
Kinder = only bullies the losers
THIS counts as kind…?
Well, at least she's kind when it comes to slander
"And… she's cute, too."
No, seriously, what is wrong with this person? She's been like this from the start.
She is cute, occasionally
That's a genuinely unique taste
True, every once in a while she is kinda cute

Everyone else is sobbing and she's just like that, I can't
The clip right below and above hers are both full-on waterworks lmaooo
Honestly, is Rose not an actual psychopath?
Says she's bored of her
Used and discarded
Apparently she's transferred her affections

Immediately locked onto the rice cakes instead lmaoooo

└ Wooju's too meek, no fun
└ fml square up, you bastard
Kang Yeseul, leader of Evermore, had come to the company that day for a rather unusual schedule.
Today's shoot was with a member of the Solana group — someone called Rose.
A VTuber, was it? She didn't know the details, but the idea that something shaped like a character out of an anime could actually move around was fascinating to her.
And when she'd heard that the group's first single album had charted in the top 100, she'd been genuinely floored — she knew all too well what those two words, "top 100," meant in this industry.
That said…
Why would someone who performed as an animated character be asked to come in and shoot in person?
They weren't even planning to show her real face on screen.
If that was the case, wouldn't it make more sense to just show the character online?
Curious, she had asked Solana's manager, and the answer she got back was this:
"It's guaranteed to draw way more attention."
Well, that was certainly true.
After all, some people are never satisfied just watching the magic trick — they need to know how it's done.
In that sense, it made perfect sense. And yet…
Something about it felt off…
Like she was missing something?
Carrying that nagging thought with her, Yeseul arrived at the filming location.
"Hello!"
She was still greeting every staff member she passed, just like she had back in her rookie days.
Little things like that turned into heartwarming anecdotes later on, and they were good for the group!
And so, midway through her rounds of greetings, she spotted someone.
"Hello there— gasp!"
What am I looking at right now?!
She was learning for the first time in her life that a person could literally be dazzling!
So that's why expressions like that existed — they weren't there for nothing!
She'd spent years in the entertainment industry and laid eyes on countless celebrities, but she had never once seen anyone this beautiful!
…Although, weren't her features a little terrifying?
Or was that not it? At that level of beauty, wasn't it just… character?
Anyway — who was she?
Nobody had mentioned anything about an additional guest.
Just as a dozen thoughts were churning through her head, the woman before her spoke.
"Hello. I'm Lee Yeonwoo — Solana's Rose. I'll be filming with you today."
"…I'm sorry, what?"
I'm sorry — what did I just hear?
"Th-the…! You're the one who uses the animated character?!"
"Yes."
THIS person?!
She looked at her face again.
The moment their eyes met, she found herself dropping her gaze without meaning to, her mind racing.
But WHY?!
No matter how she turned it over, she couldn't understand it!
"Uh…! Um…!"
As she floundered in the completely unexpected situation, Yeonwoo waited with an air of pure composure — as if this happened all the time.
Steeling herself on the strength of that kindness, Yeseul finally got the words out.
"Wow… you're the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life!"
…Or is it that blank expression that makes her even scarier?
"Thank you."
Wow! I was too flustered to notice before, but even her voice is gorgeous?!
Isn't this just unfair?!
After that brief exchange, the shoot began.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Kang Yeseul of Evermore! Today I'm here with a very special guest — allow me to introduce her! Solana's very own, Rose!"
"Yes. I'm Rose of Solana."
"Rose is a VTuber — a virtual personality — so today you'll only be hearing her voice! Her face won't be appearing on screen, so we appreciate your understanding!"
The only instruction Yeseul had received about the shoot was a single line.
Watch the video, then talk about it together with Yeonwoo.
That was it, and she'd wondered what kind of shoot this was supposed to be — but they'd told her to do it, so she would.
Any boring parts could be edited out later. It would be fine!
And besides, she was a professional!
But once the video started playing, she understood exactly why they hadn't told her what the content was.
Years of variety show experience had given her a rough instinct for what a PD wanted.
And right now, that instinct was telling her exactly what kind of concept this was.
Ah! They want the vibe of a senior setting her junior straight!
According to the on-screen captions, the task was to pick one of the two songs playing…
…But she wasn't choosing their song?!
Well then! As the senior, it's time for a word!
For the sake of good television, a little disciplining was a small price to pay! That's what she was saying!
As she'd said before — she was a professional!
With that resolve, Yeseul turned to face Yeonwoo and opened her mouth.
"Rose! Now, with all due respect—"
…Huh. But… had her face always been that scary…?
No… it had, technically…
But something about the atmosphere…
"Yes? You had something to say?"
"W-well…!"
"Yes."
"…No, never mind… Yes…"
I can't do it…
Apparently, calling herself a professional would have to wait a few more years.
Thus was Yeseul, five-year idol veteran, humbled anew.
