Chapter Title: It's Not That Kind of Relationship!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My hazy mind began to slowly return to its normal state.
Rubbing my eyes open, the scenery of an unfamiliar room came into view.
Ugh...
Where am I?
Right. Yesterday, I was collab streaming with Ra-hee unnie, and I fell asleep in her arms...
Squeeze-
"...Eh?"
In the midst of piecing it together.
The soft, warm sensation pressing against my back snapped my slowly awakening mind fully alert in an instant.
Wa-wait a sec.
Someone's hugging me.
Who the heck is it?
"Gasp...!"
The moment I cautiously turned my head back.
Ra-hee unnie's sleeping face came into view.
I gulped in surprise and quickly checked my own position.
Now I could see it—unnie's arms were draped firmly over both my shoulders, binding our bodies tight.
With that confirmed, my brain raced to piece together the situation.
Did I seriously sleep in the same bed as unnie last night?
And take over her bed, no less?
Ughhh, Jeong Da-jeong, you idiot!
What kind of nuisance is this at someone else's house!
And on top of that, I fell asleep mid-collab yesterday, so we couldn't even end it properly!
"Ughhh..."
Shame burned across my face.
I ended up dumping everything on unnie.
She couldn't keep streaming alone with me passed out, so she must've had no choice but to end it early.
She probably struggled to carry my sleeping self to bed, too.
What face should I make when unnie wakes up?
Face heating up, I hung my head low.
And stupidly enough, even in this mess, unnie's embrace felt so comfy that I didn't want to pull away.
I hoped her arms around me wouldn't loosen.
I grabbed her arms tight with both hands for no reason.
That's when a familiar voice rang in my ear.
"...Da-jeong, you're awake?"
"Eh? Oh, unnie...! You've been awake?"
"Yeah, I just opened my eyes, but you seemed like you were still sleeping, so I stayed still."
Oh, so that's how it was.
Wait, hold on.
Does that mean unnie saw everything I just did...?
"You must really like unnie's arms, huh? The way you grabbed them was so cute."
"F-Forget it, pleeease...!"
I shrieked at unnie, who tossed that teasing line with a mischievous, little-devil smile.
I completely forgot it was morning.
Ugh.
Ra-hee unnie really is my perfect counter.
She knows exactly how to tease me.
"Now that you're up, wanna eat breakfast? You said you have to head out right after today."
"Ah, yeah... Since I took yesterday off, I plan to go live early today and hang out with the Cherries."
"Such a pro spirit. Our maknae."
Stroke- Pet-
Ehehe.
It's not that big a deal.
But her hand stroking my hair in praise felt so good that I couldn't help grinning sheepishly.
"What do you want for breakfast? Anything you're craving?"
That was unnie's question as we slipped out of bed, opened the door, and headed out together.
"I'm good with anything. I eat well no matter what."
"Then let's go with something safe like Korean food? I'll let the lady know."
The lady?
Oh right, unnie mentioned they have a housekeeper who comes periodically.
Our worlds really are on different levels.
"Miss, you're awake?"
As we descended the wooden stairs, the open layout let us see straight into the brightly lit first-floor kitchen.
The housekeeper unnie had mentioned spotted us from the kitchen and greeted us warmly.
"Yes. If breakfast isn't ready yet, could we trouble you for Korean food?"
"Korean? Of course. I have marinated beef ready—should I bring that out too?"
"Sounds perfect. Thanks so much."
Wow.
She has such poise.
I'd feel awkward giving orders to someone older, even if I was paying them.
She really feels like a noble young lady straight out of a comic...
Grab-!
...Eh?
"Lulu-chan! Yesterday's collab was so much fun!"
"Th-thank youuu..."
I jolted like something had yanked me away.
Turned out it was Si-eun unnie hugging me from behind.
Her height absolutely dwarfed Ra-hee unnie's, turning me into a baby bear clutched by mama bear.
"Seriously, Lulu-chan was so cute yesterday. You fell asleep at the end making those little snoring sounds—like a kitten or something!"
"Eek? D-did I do that?"
"Yes! The fans went wild saying how adorable it was!"
Si-eun unnie gushed excitedly.
But instead of joy, a wave of self-loathing crashed over me, draining all strength from my body.
Good thing Si-eun unnie had me in her grip, or I'd have flopped right over...
Ughhh, what the heck did I do yesterday?
How do you even snore like that in your sleep!
Are you Uparupa or a cat?! A cat?!
"Oh yeah, and when Da-jeong was sleeping, she kept calling unnie's name and giving kisses and stuff."
"Wh-what?! For real...?!"
Ra-hee unnie's follow-up bombshell sent me straight into groggy shock.
Even if I adore unnie, doing that in my sleep?
Does that even make sense?!
Jeong Da-jeong, what the hell did you do yesterday...
"Nah, just kidding."
...I hate unnie.
After breakfast at Ra-hee unnie's house.
I said goodbye to the housekeeper and to Si-eun unnie before heading home.
Right before leaving, Si-eun unnie looked so sad.
She clung asking if I couldn't stay one more night, making it super hard to go.
I barely managed to promise "I'll come play again" to set a next time.
Alright, yesterday's off-stream was good recharge time.
Today, I gotta play hard with the Cherries.
Aiming for at least 12 hours, I firmly pressed the red button.
"Cherries, hi! Long time no see everyone!"
It'd only been a one-day break.
But it felt like forever since seeing the Cherries, so I greeted them that way.
The chat turned into a sea of tears.
"Psh, a whole year? It was just one day. Plus, I streamed at Luke unnie's yesterday too."
Everyone always overreacts.
But that just means the Cherries were waiting for me.
I couldn't hold back my goofy grin.
"Hehe, glad everyone liked it. Honestly, even off-stream I felt uneasy, but Luke unnie suggested it, so I'm super grateful."
Barring unavoidable stuff like moving or a ceiling collapse.
Yesterday was the first time I'd ever chosen to go off-stream on purpose.
Unlike before, it left me feeling unsettled.
Of course rest matters, but it felt like betraying the Cherries waiting for me.
Still, thanks to Ra-hee unnie, I got to see them even briefly yesterday.
Otherwise, I'd have felt off all morning.
Guess I'm just meant to stream.
"Ow, you're getting drool on meee! My cheeks aren't sticky rice cakes—why smoosh smoosh?!"
"I'm not selling smoosh passes! Unnies don't do that to me either!"
Though Chae-yoon unnie did say something similar once.
She poked my cheeks and went, "Da-jeong's cheeks are like sticky rice cakes—I wanna bite them."
Of course I said no.
Poking's one thing, but sucking on someone's cheeks?
No way that's allowed!
Chae-yoon unnie backed off saying it was a joke, of course.
Though a flicker of real regret crossed her face...
Ugh, definitely a joke. Yeah.
"Unnie's place? Totally like a palace! Ceiling this high, two stories, even a housekeeper...!"
I avoided super specific details about the exterior or interior.
But within what unnie said was okay, I bragged it up.
Hey, it's not me overreacting!
Anyone would be amazed at Ra-hee unnie's house!
That's how incredible it was!
"Hehe, no need. My new place is palace enough already. All thanks to you Cherries."
Living alone in something that huge would feel too lonely anyway.
Just the right size like now is perfect.
This place already feels too good for me.
"...Eh? H-how did you know I slept with Luke unnie?"
I was about to switch to the game I'd prepped after that chat.
But one Cherry's sharp question left me stunned.
How do they all know I shared a bed with Ra-hee unnie?
Unnie wouldn't have tweeted or anything.
Did they plant surveillance cams or something?!
"L-Luke unnie said it...?!"
Chills ran down my spine as I spiraled into delusions.
Then the culprit turned out to be someone I never suspected.
So Ra-hee unnie was gonna end stream after I fell asleep.
And right before shutting down the PC, she told viewers, "Gonna sleep in the same bed"...?!
Unnieeeee!
Why would you do that!
"Why envy that...! You perv! Th-thanks for the 10k donation though."
They donated 10k, so of course I react.
But that's that, and this is this!
What's there to envy about sharing a bed! You pervs!
"Unnie and I really just slept! Sure, she hugged me like a doll... but nothing weird like you're imagining!"
Stop the delusions!
Your heads are full of nothing but that stuff!
This is average Cherry brain...?!
"How am I supposed to call Luke unnie right now! Don't say weird stuff—let's just game... Eh?"
Steaming mad like a pissed-off locomotive, lips pursed, as I went to launch the game.
"Unnieeeeee!"
Ra-hee unnie suddenly popping into chat didn't just pour oil on the fire—she started a whole new blaze.
I couldn't hold back and yelled at unnie for the first time on stream.
And for the first time ever, I chat-banned a member.
Hmph.
This is all Ra-hee unnie's fault!
