Is That Your Younger Sister?
“Breaking news—Mangming got destroyed and is now saying ‘the enemy mid is a smurf’ lol”
“…Ah.”
Even without hearing it directly, I felt secondhand embarrassment.
It reminded me of something from before I took leave from university.
Back then, I once bought flowers—
expensive ones, over 10,000 won—
to confess to a girl from my department during an MT.
And got rejected.
This felt slightly less embarrassing than that.
‘…Bad memories.’
Anyway—
I spoke up.
“Alright, let’s not go too hard on her. She probably had her reasons.”
It was fair.
The enemy could’ve actually been a smurf.
No need to jump to conclusions.
But then—
“Confirmed: enemy mid is NOT a smurf lol”
“…Ah.”
That ruined my defense instantly.
Chat exploded:
“That’s just pathetic now”
“She’s washed”
“…Hmm.”
I felt a bit bad for her.
Sure, she was playing poorly—
but this was excessive.
“At her age, this is still decent.”
That was my honest opinion.
Two solo deaths—
not great, but not the end of the world.
Still—
chat kept flaming.
So I tried something.
[Ally][LondonIsDangerous][Daus]: Mid, mid
[Ally][LondonIsDangerous][Daus]: My chat keeps calling you washed
[Ally][LondonIsDangerous][Daus]: What should I say?
Chat lost it:
“You actually asked that???”
“Are you insane??”
Then—
after a short pause—
she replied:
[Ally][CloudIsClear][Corki]: It’s just because I’m not used to this champion
[Ally][CloudIsClear][Corki]: If I play my main champ, I stomp Gold
“…Confident.”
Very much her style.
Chat reacted:
“That’s shameless lol”
“Confidence is insane though”
Still—
it worked.
The chat calmed down slightly.
Boom—
[ Victory! ]
“We actually won.”
Despite her rough early game—
this was still Gold.
Once mid stabilized—
she took over.
“Would’ve been easier without early mistakes though.”
Still—
a win is a win.
Chat reacted:
“How did we win this??”
“She’s washed but still good late game”
Then—
Ping.
[ Mangming donated 10,000 won! ]
“Hi Dama, came to congratulate you on the win.”
“…Oh.”
My first donation.
I felt a bit stunned.
But—
Mangming probably earns a lot anyway.
“Thank you for the 10,000 won.”
Viewer count hit 100.
For the first time.
“…That’s insane.”
Then I said:
“I’d unlock chat for you, but there are too many trolls right now. If you want to talk, donations are faster.”
It wasn’t about money.
Just keeping chat clean.
Soon—
[ Mangming donated 1,000 won! ]
“Your voice is really nice.”
“I hear that a lot.”
Chat started talking about her stream—
but I didn’t check.
No interest in exposing someone else’s embarrassment.
Then—
Ding.
“I’m home!!”
Yeram entered.
Chat immediately reacted:
“???”
“Who’s that??”
“Is that a girl???”
I explained:
“That’s my younger sister. Don’t say anything weird.”
Better to draw the line early.
Then—
[ Mangming donated 1,000 won! ]
“Is that your sister? :)”
…She was trying to start a conversation.
