Haru's Second Guardian
Illustrator and VTuber Yui, whose real name was Yi Yuri—a 27-year-old woman—opened her eyes at 4 p.m. The night before, she'd wrapped up her second Viewer Cooking Contest stream and worked on commissioned illustrations until crashing into bed at 6 a.m. Unlike busy modern folks, she seemed like a carefree woman indulging in a full ten hours of sleep... but she carried a hidden wound no one knew about.
"Ughhh... it stings..."
Even after more than ten years since the accident, the pain lingered.
Knock knock!!
Her roommate Han Ui-ji, who had boundless energy like a healthy 20-year-old and had been up since 7 a.m., knocked on the door.
"Unni!!! You awake? You okay??"
Peeking the door open revealed a faint smell of pus.
"Time to change the bandages."
"O... okay. Since I'm free today, I'll do it..."
"It's hard on your own. You're crashing here, so the least I can do is this."
"Ahh..."
After the burn accident, severe scars covered most of her body, building thick emotional walls around Yuri's heart.
"I've seen it a million times. Arms out~"
"Ahh!!!"
After forcibly stripping her down, Han Ui-ji's hands touched Yuri's curvaceous body—everywhere except her face, neck, and upper chest.
"Ow..."
"Sorry. Three months in, and I'm still no good at this?"
"Still... thank you..."
Yuri wrapped her arms around Han Ui-ji's long waist in a hug. It was hard to believe this woman would one day become "Mama" to Ferolong's illustrator Yui. Yuri leaned on Ui-ji more than anyone.
Ui-ji was the first who'd seen Yuri's burn scars and not recoiled in horror.
As their bodies drew too close, making things awkward, a faint burnt smell wafted up.
"Ah! Forgot to turn off the jjajang tteokbokki, unni! Want some??"
"Yeah!"
Even on days off from her tteokbokki shop part-time, Ui-ji hustled toward her dream of opening her own place.
"How's the taste?"
A bit charred, but the smoky flavor made it surprisingly tasty.
"Delish."
True to her roots as the youngest daughter of a 40-year Hanseong dynasty eatery—though she'd run away—her skills shone.
Yuri dipped glossy brown rice cakes and fish cakes into the sauce and started her ego search while munching.

Most posts were about the earthworm who'd floored her with snake-shaped sundae soup—claiming Isekai Gochunen (50 years in another world).
'One collab stream and her viewers would explode... No, why'd they even ask that!!!!'

XX: Mom why'd you abandon me??
Even third-year streamer Yui would clickbait this well-laid trap.
"Ah, damn... it's obvious bait, but..."
Even if asked, it didn't seem like the Bulpae Pochaa fairy and earthworm were the same person.
'That peachy, pure-looking cutie couldn't possibly mess with sundae or pull vicious pranks.'
[Isekai_gochunen: Mom why'd you abandon me??]
Whoever it was knew Yui's secret tastes and clapped back with a meme god response—not a casual one- or two-time viewer.
Even if not the same person... this Isekai Gochunen had pale wrists and cute sneezes—blue pill probability high.
'If Ui-ji joins Seong Chan-ho's company, should I make her dump him without waiting and hook her up with that kid?'
She wanted to take them both if conditions allowed, but KiraKira wasn't that easy.
"Unni, you were thinking about that girl from Health Restaurant yesterday, right?"
"Huh?"
Ui-ji shot back, jjajang sauce on her lips.
"Knew it. Wanna hit Bulpae Pochaa with me sometime?"
"Hmm..."
Yuri loved good food but was a homebody.
"You said it yourself yesterday, unni. First time getting wrecked by a 3D girl was her. Not me..."
Jealousy? Ui-ji's cheeks puffed oddly.
"Eek! Who cares what a girl like me thinks... Plus, crowded spots suck."
"Not even episode 1 aired yet—how crowded could it be?"
First shoot done, so the four restaurants probably unchanged. But the fairy part-timer seemed poised for waves.

Now filled with Seong Chan-ho and Shin Do-young's Health Restaurant Korea chatter, but only teasers—no ep 1—so wild speculation reigned.

While Lee Haru exploitation rumors and theories regarding Haru as the mystery cooking contestant set Kumako Gal ablaze, Haru herself became a victim of the flames.
"Um... Part-timer! If you're being abused, I'll save you. Gravity control + carry, no shakes! Here, into my arms..."
'Ugh... this guy's back...'
Post-peak, as Haru tried resting on the rooftop, an obsessive customer followed.
He'd pretended to complain inside, then spouted rescue nonsense.
Beep!!
Pressing the emergency buzzer in her pocket, assigned handler hunter Bang Aji teleported to the rooftop.
'But Aji has zero combat skills—can she handle that guy??'
Then, after ages since first return, the trait popped.
