Chapter Title: Hello, I'm Legend. Ah, My Name (4)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Then I'll go get ready too. Make sure your first stream goes well, Seol-i."
"Yeah."
"Take good care of Seol-i too, unnie."
"Sure, sure. Go on and prep your own stream."
"...And please don't tease him too much."
"Hey, you crazy girl, I'm practically a married woman now."
"True enough. Take care of him for me."
Myth winked at me before leaving our house.
"Alright, shall we head in and get ready too, Legend bro?"
"Yeah... Ugh, I'm so nervous."
Yeona noona and I entered my room together.
As soon as I sat down at my desk, the tension I'd been holding back came rushing in.
Whew.
Honestly, I was nervous. Like, really nervous.
"Don't be so nervous, Legend bro. I've got your back."
"It does help, but man, I'm still shaking like crazy."
"I get it. First times are always rough."
The only people in my room were me and Yeona noona.
The chroma key behind me, the bright lights blasting my face from the side—they made my room feel like it wasn't mine anymore.
With all this new stuff crammed in, my head was spinning like I'd been dropped into another world.
Of course, oblivious to my inner turmoil, Yeona noona casually sized up the room and its setup before offering some serious advice.
"Next time, you could move the computer to the next room over. You've got three rooms in the house—why cram everything into one?"
"D-Don't most streamers broadcast from their bedrooms?"
"That's usually because they live with family and don't have spare rooms. But you've got empties—why bother? Myth's got a full main streaming room, a VR streaming room, and even a soundproof booth for singing streams. Three whole setups."
"...Is that normal?"
"Nah, she's just nuts. Before you woke up, her soul was sold to streaming."
The tension didn't ease a bit, even as we chatted.
...I didn't realize I was such a wimp.
My heart was pounding harder than ever.
Not excitement—just pure nerves. My face felt hot as hell.
Did Yeona noona notice? She glanced at me and piped up.
"Hmm. Maybe I should've brought Myth instead. You're way too tense."
"M-Myth's a VTuber, so no choice."
"Need a calming pill or something? You'll crash and burn at this rate."
"N-No, it's not that bad. Really."
"It is. You're a walking disaster right now."
Yeona narrowed her eyes at Legend.
His breathing was shallow, hands trembling slightly.
His eyes darted everywhere, stumbling over every word. Was it really okay to let him stream like this?
'He's visibly freaking out without Myth here.'
...Tch.
She wanted to call it off, but it was too late for that.
Just 10 minutes to go.
Myth had already posted the notice about QWER, and viewers were hyped for the miracle boy's debut.
'Delaying now would just disappoint everyone.'
Pushing it back or rescheduling would kill the momentum for the fans.
She had to snap him out of it somehow.
Yeona's hand slammed hard against Legend's back.
"Ack?!"
Smack.
The sharp crack echoed through the room.
Yeona's no-holds-barred full-power smack sent Legend jumping from his seat.
"What the—?!"
"Go grab some water, bro. You'll 100% mess up like this."
Drink some water, open the window for fresh air, deep breaths. Wipe the cold sweat before it ruins the makeup.
At Yeona's words, Legend stood up.
For now, he was following the veteran's advice.
"Ahh."
Head to the kitchen for water.
"...Getting warmer, huh."
Open the living room window for a breeze.
Then to the bathroom.
"He was that tense?"
Legend stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
Almost his usual self, but somehow paler, softer.
Makeup effect, I guess.
Washing his face would be a disaster, so he grabbed a towel from the cabinet and lightly dabbed his forehead.
"It's not that big a deal, really."
...Or so he hoped.
Exposing his bare face to the world was a big deal.
Myth had streamed for nearly 10 years, Yeona noona even longer—veterans unfazed. A newbie like me trembling was normal.
Whew. Just don't screw up.
I patted my cheeks with dry hands to wake up, then hesitated.
...Is this even helping?
Worried about smudging the makeup, I thumped my chest instead and headed back to my room.
My eyes still twitched.
The cold sweat was beading up again.
Heart hammering like mad.
Breathing ragged.
Exactly 5 minutes later.
Legend had no idea he'd unleash an unimaginable mega-disaster.
▶
Slurp.
Chewy noodles smacked his throat and tongue with a satisfying thwack.
No broth in this double-ramen combo, but the thick texture hit just right.
Late evening with no work left—Yuuri finished early and slurped ramen while eyeing her monitor.
Normally, she'd be watching Myth unnie's stream for editing points.
But today's screen wasn't Myth's stream.
QWER.
A brand-new channel born today.
Following unnie's notice, she'd found the new channel on her usual streaming platform.
Myth was collabing on QWER's stream, not hers.
That alone was a huge shocker.
"Already 30K followers... Unnie's power is insane."
30K followers pre-stream.
Not huge in absolute terms, but for a Korean platform—not Twitch—it was wild.
Especially for an unproven newbie streamer.
And not just followers—nearly 5K viewers already pouring in for the debut.
"Oh, starting."
Not quite—5:00 timer first.
But Yuuri, Myth's manager/editor/driver/stuffed toy extraordinaire, swelled with anticipation watching the lit stream.
Her excitement had dulled from hanging with unnie so much lately, but she was still a massive fan.
That Legend guy's internet streaming debut? Total must-watch for her.
She was one of the few who knew him as 'Myth's boyfriend Legend.'
'Though I'd appreciate less backseat PDA. Feels like an accident waiting to happen.'
Stealing glances in the rearview—any day now.
Bold couple.
Doing all that with me right there.
Unnie, bangs aren't curtains.
Hiding kisses under hair? Sounds and vibes carry.
As she grumbled inwardly, the 5 minutes ticked down, and QWER's stream went live.
Cam stream? Or VTuber debut?
Excitement building as the screen shifted—
"Yep, it's Yeona~."
"Pffft."
Yeona unnie popped up, sending noodles spraying from Yuuri's mouth.
"Gross... At least no broth."
Luckily, dodged a keyboard disaster.
As Yuuri scrambled for tissues and wipes to clean the desk, the chat exploded.
"Yeah, yeah. You all came for QWER, but Yeona noona's here, so question marks everywhere, right?"
Yeona kicked off the stream proper, and with a ding, Myth connected via Excode.
"Ah, hello. Unnie. Heyyy~ Hi, everyone. Good evening."
"Oh, Myth. See the chat reactions? They're stunned."
"QWER's first stream today, so I called Yeona unnie as on-site support, just in case."
"Lemme see that carrot..."
"Unnie, why?"
"Whatever. Not everyone's here just for me and Myth."
"Why's he your hubby? Anyway, everyone's demanding, so..."
Yeona gestured into the air.
Off-camera, calling someone in from outside the frame.
Obvious who.
Gulp.
We swallowed hard.
Weird. I see Legend plenty usually.
But on camera? Felt awkward.
"Y-You're really going on screen?"
"QWER bro, everyone's here for you. Gotta show your face at least once."
Whew.
A tense sigh—not Yeona's—came from off-screen.
Moments later, under everyone's gaze, a boy stepped into frame.
Classic Korean black hair.
Slightly weary face with a decadent charm.
Handsome or not? Definitely tilted handsome. He plopped into the empty chair beside Yeona.
"Nervous, huh."
"...Yeah, big time."
"Alright, quick intro first."
Flood of chat, heavy anticipation. QWER bowed his head in greeting.
"Hello. I'm Legend."
""Huh?""
Yeona and Myth's confusion overlapped.
Chat froze on QWER—no, Legend's words, then erupted.
The two veterans hadn't expected a crash right at the start. Frozen in shock for that instant.
'Still salvageable so far.'
Yeona's mind raced.
Legend—a unique name for sure.
Viewers probably hadn't clocked it as a real name yet.
Could pass as a skit. Or so she thought—but Legend was quicker.
"Ah, my name."
...Too late.
Yeona bowed her head.
