Chapter Title: This Is All the Cherries' Fault!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After wrapping up my day off.
Today, I went live at the usual time, just like always.
"Cherries, hi! Sorry for the sudden break yesterday."
Maybe because of yesterday's health-related break.
The Cherries flood in like a tidal wave, immediately asking how I'm doing.
I can't help but grin like an idiot at the sight. Hehe.
It might be a slightly perverted reason.
But the people at the company today, the Ludongbu staff too.
I'm just happy that so many people care about me like this.
"Hehe, luckily it was just a little fever, so I took some meds and slept it off! To be safe, I ate a hearty meal before coming on today!"
No way, it's not like that anymore.
That was just for a little while after I collapsed and got discharged before.
Wait, not just a little while.
It went on for a few months.
Anyway, I'm not having the President check my meals anymore.
"Nope. The President trusts me now, so no more meal inspections. But it's become a habit, so sometimes I still send pics to the group chat or her directly about what I ate today."
Yeah, that's exactly the vibe.
Officially, I don't use any SNS outside the company's.
I don't even look at them.
Instead, it's like sharing with the members.
Sometimes when I eat something tasty, I think, 'I want to come here with the members.'
And sending a message like 'Let's come together next time!' makes me happy for no reason.
"Oh, right! Actually, I have something to tell you Cherries today."
We were chatting casually as usual.
Then one donation snapped me out of it.
By the way, my current title is 'Break Return + Big News Coming!'
Even the Cherries who were focused on the break return at first.
Now that they know I'm healthy, they're shifting to the big news.
Time to spill it.
I was super shocked too.
The Cherries will freak out. Hehe.
"It's this: my first original song is done! Well, the MR is finished, and we're starting recording next week!"
The chat scroll exploded upward at this totally unexpected news.
It was scrolling so fast that even I, who's pretty used to it, could barely keep up.
Of course they'd be shocked.
I didn't drop hints like Ji-ah unnie did.
Just bam, out of nowhere, the MR's already done.
"Hehe, thanks everyone. Honestly, I didn't expect my original song this soon either... I was shocked. When we gathered in Discord earlier and I first heard, I wondered if it was a dream."
Right?
It wasn't really an embargo, more like the composer suddenly reached out.
You have no idea how shocked I was.
"Yeah, I had no idea. There wasn't even any original song in production for me to begin with."
The Cherries' questions pour in, confused by the situation.
Yeah, I get it.
That's exactly what I thought when I first heard.
Let me explain step by step.
"From what I heard, this wasn't a commission we put in. We were looking for a composer for my original song, and suddenly one contacted us."
Sheesh, you guys have no patience.
You gotta build a little suspense for stories like this.
"Turns out that composer watches my streams a lot. They knew about me and got inspired to write a song. They finished it and reached out, wanting to give it to me."
That's what I think too.
No matter how much they like my looks.
Usually, they'd reach out first, then work if it pans out.
"Exactly. The President was shocked too. And this composer's super famous."
Can't reveal the name yet due to the agreement.
But let's drop some bait.
The Cherries bite immediately, showing interest.
"Hehe, can't say the name yet. You'll see when the song drops."
H-Hey, why call me seductive here!
I just didn't say the name!
You guys are just spewing whatever!
"Anyway, that's all I can say! If I spill more, the President will scold me!"
No, don't die over this!
How fragile are you Cherries!
At this rate, we should rename you from Cherries to Sardines!
"N-No! Who asked for donations?! No matter how much you send, I won't say! I can't anyway!"
It's not just the President's orders, you idiots!
VN-nim said so too!
No revealing identity or song details before release!
Even what I said today is only what the President allowed!
"Ahem. Anyway, we're aiming to release it before summer ends, so hang tight. Got it, Cherries?"
If I scold them more, they'll just whine harder.
So I speak gently, like coaxing a child.
Then a donation pops up.
"W-What are you talking about! Summer starts in June at the earliest!"
May is way past the line!
By my standards, summer begins late June.
Well, it is hot these days.
At least mid-June.
"Argh, forget it! I'm not answering anymore! Imagine whatever and wait, Cherries!"
Yeah, the Cherries are getting dumber by the minute.
Well, they were always kinda dumb.
Now it's beyond dumb, into some new realm.
I need to change the subject quick...
"Oh! Also, for Lilith unnie's birthday celebration, fans are putting up a billboard, so I'm going to check it out with her on Wednesday!"
As I racked my brain, I remembered the promise with Chae-yoon unnie.
This is it! I blurted it out desperately.
The problem is...
"...Huh?"
In my panic, I forgot we were supposed to announce after.
And spilled our destination to the Cherries early.
Our faces won't be exposed just from this.
But some VTuber fans are super intense.
It's customary not to reveal spots where location could be doxxed.
Like how I only said about the collab cafe with Line-chan after.
Or at least vague on dates.
But I said the exact date...
'I'm screwed.'
In my head, a tiny Da-jeong collapses in OTL pose, sobbing in despair.
Wah, sorry... Chae-yoon unnie.
But this is the Cherries' fault.
W-Well, maybe a tiny bit mine too...
If worst comes to worst, change the date?
I'll buy you something yummy as apology...
