Chapter Title: Delivering the Announcement!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Uuu...
Even after getting home, my cheeks still feel all saggy.
How long did unnie have me pinned down, anyway?
I fiddled with my super soft, glutinous rice cake-level cheeks.
Just like always, I fired up the stream today.
I've got something to show the Cherries, and something to tell them, too.
"Hey, Cherries! Hiii! Did everyone have a yummy dinner?"
I logged on wearing this new avatar called "Mochi Mochi Lulu," made by another avatar creator.
The Cherries, who started off greeting me normally, instantly turned into a laughing mess.
This "Mochi Mochi Lulu" avatar is in SD character style.
The point is those cheeks that stick out all puffy.
One of its features is "Cheek Stretch."
Activate it, and a hand pops out of nowhere to pull your cheeks reeeally long.
You can even go full "glutinous rice cake mode" like right now, with the cheeks drooping down.
I'm in rice cake mode at the moment, so the cheek flesh is all sagging.
"Uuu... We all met up at the company today, and Lilith unnie went wild kneading my cheeks. And that's how they ended up like this."
It's probably exactly like my real cheeks right now.
The Cherries cracked up looking at the sagging flesh.
Still, the timing for showing off this avatar feels perfect today.
"Yeeep, I got punished. At first, unnie was over the moon about hitting 200k and hugged me, so I thought maybe I wasn't mad... but nope. It was all a trap."
"No idea... At least until we finished lunch together and went to the cafe, she was still at it."
She even said at the restaurant, "This is enough punishment."
But then at the cafe, she kept kneading, so I asked if it was really over.
And she just casually goes, "This is 'cause the maknae is cute," while sitting right next to me, messing with my cheeks nonstop.
Thanks to that, I barely tasted my Frappuccino.
Uuu, my Frappuccino...
"Ah, thanks for the superchat! Yep, I did. Lunch was with the members, President, and Manager—all super tasty stuff. Dinner was mackerel simmered at home when I got back."
Ooh, as expected, everyone knows how good simmered mackerel is.
Yeah yeah, it's the best.
I've been hooked lately and eat it all the time.
Especially the radish soaked in all that seasoning...!
"Oh, and someone mentioned sweet and sour pork earlier. Now I kinda want some."
Single sets, huh? Never really ordered Chinese much, so I didn't know.
Gotta try one tomorrow since it came up.
"Me? I eat it however. If the person I'm with wants to dip, I dip. If they wanna pour, I pour..."
"N-No downfall, that's really how it is! But honestly, I don't get why people fight over it. Tangsuyuk tastes good no matter how you eat it..."
Dipping lets you enjoy that signature crunch.
Pouring soaks the sauce right in—pure bliss.
They've both got their charms, so why fight?
Just like I figured, the chat explodes the second tangsuyuk comes up.
Seeing them bicker over who's right, I couldn't help but sigh and shake my head.
"Sigh... You guys are such idiots sometimes. Listen up, 'cause I'm about to drop some life advice. Got it?"
Hey, no sleeping on me!
Get up quick!
This is super important!
Listen closely!
"Folks, instead of wasting time arguing, just eat more of it! Not pour or dip—it's 'smash and eat'! Got it?"
Ahem.
The Cherries loved my life advice, and I could feel my throat tightening up with pride.
"You bet! I'm a total foodie!"
"Th-That's not the point! What matters is I'm trying all kinds of food now!"
S-Sure, maybe I haven't tried as much as others.
But my food convictions are top-tier!
I'm Blue LUV's big eater position alongside Chae-yoon unnie!
"Whew, guess I'll have to do a food world cup later to prove to you Cherries I'm a foodie..."
"Huh? Right now? I'm cool with it if you guys are."
World cups like ideal types or food are great just-chatting content for streamers.
But some folks don't like 'em, so I checked with the Cherries.
I was planning some gaming today anyway.
"Tier list? Oh, that sounds good too."
World cups feel kinda overdone these days.
Tier list might be better.
Plus, world cup forces you to ditch one of your faves if they match up.
That'd be sad.
"Alright! Quick announcement first, then straight into food tier list. After that, we'll check out that new game I promised. Cool?"
Yeah, tell me about it.
I can see it too.
One wrong tier from me, and the chat's gonna flood with memes.
They'll pounce the second they spot blood in the water.
Such vicious Cherries.
I clicked my tongue inwardly, cleared my throat, and prepped the announcement.
Most announcements come at the end or tail of streams.
But I like getting 'em out early.
N-Not 'cause I'll forget later. Absolutely not.
"Ahem, first up, the announcement... Our merch is dropping this time! Official notice tomorrow probably, but since I'm the only one streaming today, I'm covering it."
Usually, President or all members announce on their streams.
But today it's just me, so I'm the rep.
The chat scroll goes nuts at the surprise bombshell.
"Hehe, seeing you all excited makes me happy too. Details tomorrow on the cafe and tweets, so hang tight?"
I know what merch is coming, actually.
But spilling it all would drag on too long.
Today's just a quick "Merch incoming!" promo.
And they seemed plenty satisfied.
All saying they wish tomorrow came sooner.
Yeah, same here.
I've seen tons of Blues merch in that other world.
But this time mine's included.
Feels a bit different—more exciting.
Hehe, plus President said she'd hook me up with everyone's merch too.
I'll decorate pretty when it arrives.
Display in the studio, bedroom...
Gaze at 'em over and over before bed.
"Nooo! There's still more announcement, and even if there wasn't, I wouldn't let you!"
Why are they all genuinely bummed?!
My cheeks aren't toys!
Already turned rice cake from Chae-yoon unnie today.
If you squish-squish here, they'll never bounce back!
"Anyway! Last announcement. Not a huge deal, but I figured the Cherries should know."
Argh, seriously!
A few seconds of buildup and you're all like this!
So impatient!
But dragging it out isn't my style either.
I voiced the decision I'd made not long ago.
"So... starting next week, I'm moving in with someone!"
The chat floods with question marks as the Cherries panic.
Eh?
D-Did I mess up what I said?
