Chapter Title: Chae-yoon Unnie's Villainy is the Best in the World!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, the recorded audio blared out, sending a brief silence rippling through the stream.
But that silence didn't last long.
Chae-yoon unnie soon revealed exactly what it was.
"Kids, you heard that, right? This morning, when maknae came to wake me up, she pulled out all this cuteness? I recorded it just for you guys."
Ah, no! That's not it!
Don't fall for her lies, everyone!
S-sure, I did act cute...! But I didn't do it because I wanted to!
It was all because I fell right into Chae-yoon unnie's trap!
"E-everyone! Don't be fooled! That's all slander from Lilith unnie!"
"What slander? You're not seriously saying that voice isn't you, maknae, right?"
"Th-that's not it, but... it's all because of you, unnie!"
"What did I even do? Oh man, I really have no idea."
Why won't anyone believe me!
Well, it's not that they don't believe me—they're deliberately ignoring it!
Obviously, since there's prime teasing material, they're grinning ear to ear and siding with Chae-yoon unnie!
Otherwise, not a single one of them would fail to take my side!
You guys know it too! I'm not the type to say stuff like that willingly!
"Nyaaaaak!"
You! You're that Cherry who always shows up in my streams!
Just keep passing by!
Why pretend to donate while teasing me!
"Whoa, kids. You know what? When maknae gets mad, she goes 'Nyaaaaak!' And she really sounds like a cat. If she had a tail, it'd probably be all puffed up, right?"
Even as I fumed, unnie described my angry face like it was some fascinating exhibit.
The viewers erupted in laughter again, teasing me relentlessly.
More than that, the nicknames for me are getting weirder and weirder...
And longer too.
At this rate, they won't even fit in a single chat line later.
"Anyway, we've teased maknae plenty now, so to sum up quick: this morning, I really didn't wanna get up, so I kept squirming around, right?"
Maybe showing some mercy after all this, unnie surprisingly started explaining the morning's events in detail.
Whew, thank goodness.
Hearing this, everyone should understand the situation a bit better.
Looks like she didn't plan to tease me too harshly after all.
"But since maknae woke up first, Mom must've asked her to wake me. I overheard it from bed, and that's when I got the perfect idea to tease her."
"Huh? Y-you were listening...?!"
I'd naturally assumed unnie was still asleep, so this unexpected twist left me blinking blankly.
So she'd been plotting to tease me from that moment?!
How serious is she about messing with me!
"So maknae comes in to wake me, and I whine on purpose, saying I don't wanna get up. But I knew full well—if I slept in, Mom would barge in and force me awake anyway."
Sh-she knew all that.
Well, of course—Chae-yoon unnie probably knows Auntie better than I do.
"Maknae had seen Mom's temper once before, so she knew: 'Oh no, if Auntie comes in, unnie's in trouble.' That's why she panicked."
"Y-yeah... I was worried you'd get scolded first thing in the morning..."
B-but how could I ditch her...!
I saw how much burst damage she took from unnie yesterday!
N-not that Auntie scares me or anything...!
But I couldn't just leave her be!
"That's when she said it: if I acted cute in banmal to unnie, she'd get up. Maknae was so desperate, she refused once then caved right away. Adorbs, I nearly died."
Wah, so that's how it went down.
She saw through my entire psychology—a big-picture play.
No wonder her demand felt a bit over the top.
Normally, when we're all together, she'd jokingly say, 'Show us maknae's aegyo?' or 'Say it in banmal just once.'
I'd always shut it down flat, even if it was unnie asking.
So she knew it was unreasonable, but figured my desperation would make it work this time.
In the end, she exploited my feelings—a total trap...!
"Unnie, that's too much..."
With a pang of betrayal making me look ready to cry, I stared at her.
Maybe feeling a bit guilty herself, Chae-yoon unnie laughed and lunged at me.
"Hehe, sorry. But our maknae is just too cute—what can I do?"
"Wah, that's no excuse at all."
"Got it. Next time I wanna hear it, I won't use tricks—I'll ask properly."
"Wonyuwup...! N-no, I won' do iiiit...!"
Unnie kneaded my cheeks while throwing out words that were half apology, half declaration of war.
My pronunciation got all mushy as I resisted fiercely.
"Oh, right. Kids, wanna know the funniest part of the whole thing?"
By now, even the viewers seemed to be starting to side with me a little.
They grumbled at unnie as she teased another funny story.
But unnie showed no signs of stopping.
She's like an 8-ton truck with no brakes.
"Hear me out first. I recorded maknae doing aegyo, right? She got mad about it. That's when Mom walked in."
The mere mention of Auntie had everyone gulping.
Unnie wagged her finger with a tsk, like it was pathetic.
"So maknae tattles, whining about what unnie did this and that. I go right to Mom and play the recording. She goes, 'So cute!' and asks to hear it again. You should've seen maknae's face—it was hilarious."
Wah, you have no idea how despairing that moment was.
My last thread of hope snapped right there.
I'd honestly thought Auntie would scold unnie a little.
But after hearing it, she just cooed over how cute it was and patted me on the way out.
"We laughed so hard from morning. Maknae was totally sulky—didn't say a word to me at breakfast."
"I-I did! I put ribs on your plate!"
"Oh, yeah? Forgot about that, sorry."
Ah, even so, with Uncle and Auntie there, I couldn't do that.
Not that I'd have done it even if they weren't.
...Okay, fine, I did briefly consider it with spoon in hand.
Just for a split second, yeah.
"Anyway, that's how we've been having a blast with maknae over Chuseok. So, maknae, how's it been staying together? Anything uncomfortable?"
"Nooo, none. Uncle and Auntie have been so kind, and even though unnie seems like she's teasing, she's taken really good care of me..."
Mm, unnie really has taken good care of me.
They might think it's just stream talk.
But that's Chae-yoon unnie—always mixing sweetness into her mischief.
No matter what, she always looks out for me.
...Though the teasing overshadows it enough to make you forget.
"Oh? Text from Mom. Lunch out today?"
"Huh? Really?"
As the stream continued a bit longer.
Unnie checked her phone and showed a message from Auntie: 'Heading out for lunch—what do you wanna eat?'
"Kids, sorry, but we gotta wrap up here. Meant to go longer, my bad."
"Sorry, Pistas. Was gonna stay till Lucrezia unnie's stream..."
I figured they'd be bummed about the shorter stream.
But surprisingly, they reacted positively, urging us to go.
Since it was an unplanned surprise stream, they probably weren't expecting much time anyway.
"Oh, wait. One last announcement before we end."
"Announcement?"
Just as we were about to end, unnie yelled stop and spoke up.
Announcement? What could it be?
She hadn't tipped me off either.
Something important?
I tilted my head curiously, and unnie glanced at me with a smirk before dropping one line.
"I'm moving soon. Now Lucrezia unnie, maknae, and I are neighbors."
"...Huh?!"
Her totally out-of-left-field bombshell had my eyes bulging as I stared at her.
The viewers did the same, flooding with question marks demanding details...
"Announcement over! I'll explain on stream later! Thanks for watching!"
Unnie flashed a mischievous grin and ended the stream just like that.
...And that's how she wraps it up?
Truly Blue LUV's top villain member...!
