Once Spoken, Kept Until the End
-Whoa
-Holy crap
-Insane
-Haha insane
-Jae---
-Jaemad full charge!
-Gasp
-Not you, Soso
-It's Nyanbyeol's
-Whoa
-Is spring finally coming for Nyanbyeol too?
-Nyanbyeol worked so hard
-lololololol
She stared at Shin Jaewoo—or more precisely, the camera—with a shocked expression. Her pupils dilated wide. It was obvious she'd never expected it from him.
She probably didn't think I'd go for her.
She might have hoped a little. When he'd first joined, she'd greeted him warmly. But he'd acknowledged Injung Yeopo (Han Taeho)'s greeting and showered star balloons on his pick, Soso.
Was that why?
The gap isn't that big yet.
Soso had racked up nearly 200,000 star balloons. That wouldn't do.
Zeus.1 has gifted 300,000 star balloons!
He had no intention of stopping at just this once. He unleashed a single shot packed with his resolve.
"Whoa!"
"Jaewoo hyungnim's alt too...!"
She'd already heard from Nyanbyeol that day how he managed ten full charges a day. He'd even explained needing an alt and how to get one.
He hadn't planned anything like this that day. But one thing.
-Whoa
-Holy crap
-Insane
-Leader declaration insane
-Mad insane
-Whoa
-Jae---
-This means Jaemad's taking president, right?
-!!
-Whoa
-President declaration
-Haha insane
-Seocho-dong hyungnim, emergency!!
He'd make Nyanbyeol's squad leader. And he'd claim Kuni's broadcasting company presidency. It was his declaration.
Nyanbyeol was speechless. She covered her mouth with her hand, staring straight ahead with trembling eyes. The redness in them was visible.
"Nyanbyeol's crying."
One of the girls nearby saw her eyes up close and said it.
"Aah..."
Pitying voices filled the room. In that moment, even Nyanbyeol's expression shifted. As someone fetched tissues, it wasn't just tears—it was a choked sob she was holding back.
-Nyanbyeol
-Nyanbyeol suffered so much
-Aah..
-T_T
-Don't cry
-Sob sob
Oh no...
Shin Jaewoo scratched his head. He hadn't shared deep bonds with her, but seeing her cry tugged at him.
Still...
This wasn't the atmosphere he wanted.
Zeus.2 has gifted 10,000 star balloons!
{Just cry it out}
Zeus.2 has gifted 10,000 star balloons!
{Cry, cry}
Nyanbyeol, who had been on the verge of full sobs, finally burst into laughter. The mood shattered. Just as he'd intended.
The others felt it too.
-Lmaoooo
-lololololololololol
-Whoa second alt insane
-Lmaoooo
Zeus.2 has gifted 10,000 star balloons!
{Cry and then laugh? Hairy butt?}
-lolololololololololololol
-No Jaemad lolol
-Give back my?d lolol
-lololololol
-Fr lolol
-lolololololol
-No leadernim lolololol
-You gave us then make us laugh like this
-Gasp lolol
Soon she gripped the mic properly.
"No, Jaemad... I never dreamed you'd help this big, promise to be my leader too..."
Mid-sentence, emotion welled up again, and she pulled away from the mic, biting her lip.
"We've struggled so much without a leader, my Nyanple sisters and bros..."
But then emotion surged again. In moments like this, his response was one thing.
Zeus.2 has gifted 10,000 star balloons!
{Bipolar much?}
-Lmaoooo
-lolololololololololol
-Bipolar insane lolololol
-No Jaemad lololol
-lolololololololololol
-Bipolar? lolololol
"Pfft. I'm not bipolar!"
She pouted, pretending to search around.
The mood kept swinging with her emotions and his drips.
"Anyway, Jaemad, you said you'd be my leader, so you gotta keep that promise. Don't abandon me!"
More talk might break her control. Judging that, Nyanbyeol just confirmed his promise to her.
His words about becoming leader. She prayed they weren't empty.
If this is an agalpoong too...
It'd be devastating. Memories flashed like a montage: struggling without a squad, watching her squad suffer without a pillar, fans hurting with no strong backer. Some had overdone it and left, unable to endure.
All of it felt rewarded now.
"No, not that!"
She snapped at his words. But relief mixed in. It meant he'd stick as leader until president.
Gotta ask rep how many president cuts there were here.
But she didn't need to. Someone beat her to it.
"Rep, how many president cuts did our Kuni Corp have?"
"Ours? Seocho-dong hyungnim probably... dunno exactly, but last year it was already over 20 million."
-Whoaaa
-Haha insane
-20 million insane
20 million was 2 billion won. With full charge limits, even Shin Jaewoo couldn't top it for months.
Nyanbyeol relaxed a bit.
No worries about Jaemad hitting president for a while.
And Seocho-dong didn't seem like he'd yield easily.
She had time to think that.
Jaewoo has gifted 900,000 star balloons!
Kuni Corp had Excel on Mondays and Thursdays. Twice weekly. Monday evening to Tuesday dawn, Thursday evening to Friday dawn.
Shin Jaewoo had declared Nyanple Squad leadership last Thursday. Now Monday, another 900k bomb.
"...!"
"Whoa. Jaemad's the real deal."
"Dropping alts like that."
Shin Jaewoo had no real plan for alts. Just musing about snagging president since he'd said it.
President's not bad.
He was impressed too.
Why not loyal fan yet?
This ID had donated around 2 million. Still no loyal fan status.
Excel lived up to the hype—whales' playground.
How much do loyal fans here drop?
Nyanbyeol had mentioned fakes among big spenders, but it didn't matter. This was whale territory.
Billions spent, huh.
Folks dropping billions on internet streams. Not for normals.
Excel rolled on.
Jaewoo has gifted 300,000 star balloons!
-Whoa
-Haha insane
-This hyung's all full charges
-Whoa..
-Jae---
-Wanna live as Jaemad for a day
-Even Nyanbyeol gets her day
Like a doomsday countdown, his chats ticked down. Kuni had recently revealed his president cut was about 30 million.
Shin Jaewoo had started then.
-Lmaoooo
-lolololololololol
-28 million left is a ton but Jaemad might clear it quick?
-Fr lolol
-Jae---
"Oppa, can we not talk about that anymore?"
Nyanbyeol pouted sadly.
"Let's just go all the way together."
A manga parody reply. Viewers who knew it flooded with laughs.
-Naruto? lololol
-lolololololololol
-Jae---
His occasional jabs clearly unnerved her. One day, she messaged him.
