Chapter Title: Verdia-chan is Coming to Korea!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ve, Verdia-chan, why is she on my stream…?!
No, of course it's not weird for her to watch.
I watch the members' streams whenever I get the chance, too.
But why at this timing of all times!
At my most embarrassing moment!
"Ve, Verdia-chan. Hello…."
"Th-thank youuu…."
Sniffle.
Of course I'm grateful she stopped by….
But seriously, why'd you do that, Verdia-chan's viewers?
"Y-yes."
A sudden call—what could it be?
Something felt off, but I nodded anyway, stumbling over my words.
Right then, the Discord call tone rang out.
【Oh! Merry Christmas, Lulu-chan, and Cherries. How've you all been?】
"Verdia-chan's asking if the Cherries have been well, too."
Her slightly low voice contrasted with her hyper energy.
It kinda reminded me of Ra-hee unnie, so I relayed it for her.
The Cherries seemed really touched that Verdia-chan hadn't forgotten about them.
A few even greeted her back in clumsy English.
【Merry Christmas to you too, Verdia-chan. But what's up with the sudden call?】
【Yeah, actually, I'm heading to Korea tomorrow. So I was wondering if I could meet up with Lulu-chan.】
【H-Huh? Coming to Korea…?!】
A bunch of English-speaking viewers meant the chat exploded in shock at Verdia-chan's words.
I was just as stunned, of course.
Verdia-chan suddenly coming to Korea—what was going on?
Tourism?
Or work-related?
【What's the sudden trip for?】
【To hang out with Lulu-chan, duh! Wanna do a cozy one-on-one date, just us?】
【D-Date…?!】
Maybe Verdia-chan's word choice was too direct?
The chat flooded with "owo"s in seconds.
I was just as flustered.
Though "date" wasn't wrong if it just meant hanging out alone….
【I-I'm fine with that… but what if I said I was busy?】
【Then I'd hang with the other members coming along.】
【Oh, so your company members are coming too.】
Yeah, no way Verdia-chan would drop in without a plan.
Probably tourism with the group as the main goal.
And meeting me was a bonus.
Sounds perfect for me.
We did that collab before, after all.
I'd always wanted to repay Verdia-chan someday.
We still chat sometimes, and she always shows huge interest in Korean food.
I'd been dying to introduce her to some in person—perfect timing.
【Tell me a day that works for you, and I'll clear my schedule.】
【Oh, really?! Thank you! My love!】
【Ehehe….
Verdia-chan's always so free with her emotions.
Even Ra-hee unnie dotes on me, but not this much.
Chatting with her makes me feel so special.
A bit embarrassing, though.
"So that's the deal, Cherries. Sorry, but I might have to take a day off soon. You'll understand, right?"
One year? Way overkill, guys.
It's just one day.
Anyway, glad they get it.
【Got the Cherries' permission too, so we're good. See you soon, Verdia-chan.】
【Yeah, thank you so much, Lulu-chan and Cherries.】
Basking in the Cherries' envy….
Verdia-chan said we'd sort details over messages and hung up.
"Alright, Cherries, that's it for me today. Have a great Christmas night, see you tomorrow."
Stream end was coming up soon anyway.
After a quick chat, I waved goodbye to the Cherries.
As always, they tried to cling and keep me from going.
But me, Jeong Da-jeong? Not swayed by that.
Every meeting has a parting!
Even if it's just for a day!
"Aw, come on, we had tons of fun today. It's Christmas—don't stay up too late, Cherries. Get some good sleep, okay?"
They even wanna see me in their dreams?
How serious are they?
B-But more importantly, why are they all after my cheeks?
Nothing special about 'em.
They stretch nicely, sure, but that's it.
"Bye-bye!"
With that lingering question, I ended the stream.
Skipped web surfing tonight and flopped straight into bed after shutting down the PC.
Not planning to doomscroll to sleep.
Gonna scout restaurants for Verdia-chan and me.
I rarely eat out unless it's with the members, so I'm clueless about this stuff.
Oh, wait.
No need to search online—ask the members!
That's the power of crowdsourcing!
My streams and Chae-yoon unnie's are usually the longest.
So the others must've been on their phones or PCs.
Replies came in under a minute.
Asked cautiously for restaurant recs….
They all dropped question marks, looking baffled.
Chae-yoon unnie, just joining, was totally out of the loop.
But I couldn't explain either.
I had no idea why they were reacting like that.
Group chat turned chaotic in seconds. I blinked, wondering what I did wrong.
But nah, can't be asking for food recs.
Dating, huh….
Yeah, it is a date.
Not romantic or anything, though.
Verdia-chan called it a date too.
Huh? What're they on about?
Like I'd ever date.
Unnies must be misunderstanding….
Oh!
Me saying "date" made 'em think it's a guy?
So much worrywart energy.
As if former-guy me would date a dude.
Oh, right.
Forgot to mention it's Verdia-chan.
Finally clicked for them, and I explained the whole thing.
The chaos settled a bit.
But what had them so worried anyway?
Still no clue.
Anyway, they all recommended spots and picked good ones.
Considering Verdia-chan might not like Korean food, they suggested Western, Japanese, all sorts.
So grateful.
Hehe.
Asking the members was the right call.
Got excited about hanging out and replied….
Question marks again. Deja vu.
Wondered what was up….
Then a Discord message from Verdia-chan popped up.
Couldn't respond—had to switch chats.
Closed the group chat and hopped to Verdia-chan's.
Ji-ah unnie called my name at the end, but probably nothing.
Oh, and posting a Mityube vlog after meeting Verdia-chan would be cool.
Facecamless, like a casual vlog.
Not brave enough for that yet.
