Chapter Title: Please Spare Me
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please spare me, please.
"Did you send it? Did you send it?!"
"Ugh! Stop rushing me, I sent it!"
"What did they say? Are they coming? Are they gonna come?"
"Yeah, they're coming."
"Eek! This is insane! Muming! You're a hero! Get over here! I'm gonna leave a hickey on you right now!"
"Ah, what the hell! Get off me!"
Muming barely managed to shake off Herami, the crew member clinging to her persistently.
"Because of you, people might think I went out of my way to make the place nice just to call Mungki on purpose."
"Nah, they won't think that."
"Is it my fault I have this materialistic image? It's all because of you."
"I'll clear up all the misunderstandings, I swear! Don't worry!"
Herami flicked her bobbed hair and double-checked her appearance through the streaming cam.
- Wait, why is everyone suddenly primping just because Mungki's coming?
- Calling a guy outright like this!!!
- But Mungki's safe though
- Dangerous in one way, overly safe in another
- lol
The reason the chat wasn't exploding despite them openly seeking a guy out.
It was because the crew Muming belonged to wasn't the type to blatantly fish for male attention.
They were female cams, but their own kind.
Some did faux dating stuff, but Muming's crew wasn't into that at all.
They actually avoided it.
It was more about daily chit-chat, light talk, that sort of thing.
Anyway.
"Mungki said about 30 minutes, so we should set up a spot and order some more snacks."
"What do guys like? Chicken? Should we get chicken and bossam?"
"Order the food, then rock-paper-scissors for who sits next to Mungki."
Muming, Herami, and Shukang kept bringing up Mungki in conversation, excitedly chatting away.
"No, we'll just switch seats periodically anyway, even after rock-paper-scissors."
"Muming... what are you saying? Once you sit, you stay put. What do you think this is, a speed date?"
"Herami's right on this. Unless something major happens, it's fixed seating... that's why rock-paper-scissors."

[ Ugh lol just hyped cuz a hot guy's coming ]
- lolololololol
- The three's thick sexual frustration ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
- But with Mungki, it's justified
- Honestly, Mungki's approved
- Wonder what it's like up close on cam lol super curious
- Mungki dresses well too, wondering what he'll wear this time
Male streamers invited female streamers when drinking, so of course female streamers wanted to invite male ones too.
They just hadn't found anyone suitable.
But then Mungki appeared like a comet.
Not some massive corp-level pressure, not a total scrub either.
No bad rumors, and he had that rough-with-girls vibe that made it even more fun.
Like calling in a wolf, lion, or tiger.
So that's why.
'I called him, but damn, I'm super nervous.'
'Whoa... they all say it's unreal in person.'
'First time seeing Muming and Herami this tense, me too though.'
Calling him boldly was fine, but the nerves were unavoidable.
Then.

[ But seriously, be careful with that one Mungki ]
- What? Careful with which Mungki?
- Male Mungki is dangerous.
As viewer chats continued.
"Huh? Mungki's nearby, says he's almost here. I'll go pick him up."
Muming checked her phone and immediately got up.
About 3 minutes later.
"Mungki's here!"
The moment Mungki appeared, they instantly realized.
"...Whoa."
"Holy shit."
Why they said to be careful with Mungki, why he needed caution.
"You looked like you were having fun on stream."
"...!"
It hit from the voice first.
The emotion you'd never felt before, stimulated.
'Control your face!'
Pull the jaw muscles to stop your mouth from dropping.
Stop the pupils dilating, staring holes through him.
But impossible.
The gaze got sucked in.
Sculpted features under casually brushed hair.
Beneath, a cardigan screaming luxury.
And inside, a glimpse of toned short-sleeve biceps.
Finally, perfectly fitted clean jeans.
"I'll join properly and have some fun too."
A intense male presence had arrived.
++++++
Honestly, it was a super sudden invite.
But on the other hand, I was grateful.
'Perfect timing, Mark stream was getting stale. This kinda refresh isn't bad.'
Plus, they offered half the stream donations since it was sudden.
Practically a windfall for me.
Taxi ride only 30 minutes away.
They even covered the fare, so I was basically just bringing my body.
'Hmm, they're all good drinkers, so even if I'm shy at first, it should be fine?'
I'm awkward at drinking parties, so it started a bit stiff.
Contrary to expectations they'd liven things up first.
"...."
Yeah, "Mungki's here" was kinda off, and after a few more words, an awkward silence hung.
If it dragged on, viewers would sense something wrong too.
Should I say something else? Just as I thought that.
"Mungki! Sit here! Right here!"
Muming snapped to attention and showed me my seat.
"Whoa, this is a whole different... social assassination setup."
Between Herami and Shukang.
Sounds fine on paper.
The issue was their outfits.
- Don't guys usually not know where to look in these situations?
- This dude just stares lololololol
- Straight-up likable in a fresh way
- Mungki can do that, nothing to kneel for lolololol
- Mutual face and chest sightseeing lololol
Unlike the chat, I honestly tried my best not to look there.
'But... what do you do when it's right there.'
So I decided to just look openly.
Better than sneaking glances.
"Mungki... you really like chests, huh?"
"Ah... yeah, chests are... the best."
"Kuk, kyak, no, what kinda line is that? 'Chests are the best'? Why so dramatic?"
"I'm serious. I really like chests."
- Chests are... the best ㅇㅈㄹ lololololol
- The problem is no one gets offended even when he says it
- This scene alone could be a novel
- Tried copying the popular guy's sexual joke to girls thinking I could too
- Atmosphere freezes the second I say it, popular guy hits me with 'Dude that's too far'
- Eyes closing in, thinking it's a dream, cold sweat on neck
- Stop triggering my PTSD pls
Truth is, nothing special at a drinking party.
Just light age intros, names since some first-timers.
"Oh, so you're oppa? One year older than us?"
"Yeah."
"Whoa, can we call you oppa then? Talk casually!"
"Nah, I'm super shy... match my tempo, I'd appreciate it."
"Ah, seriously! Drawing lines now!"
Everything said came with laughs.
Occasional shoulder touches or hand size compares from the girls.
Just the same natural stuff I got lately when going out.

[ Totally devouring Mungki whole ]
- ㄹㅇ
- Basically water play minus the water lolol
- Ugh lolol 24? Why they acting like aunties
- Feels like a close fan meetup
"No, you guys! I didn't even get to sit next to him?! I'm so wronged!"
"Okay! Then me, Herami! Super special! Switching with Muming!"
"Gasp... then I'll, Shuka! Just stay! Wanna stick to Mungki more!"
Viewer reactions weren't bad either.
Expected some toxic backlash,
viewers dipping out silently.
- This ain't the femcel vibe I know?
- This is harem, not femcel singleton
- Normal singleton guy's the pack mule slave errand boy
- lolol harem's different
- ㄹㅇ
- Harem vs singleton totally different
- Red singleton < girl becomes queen, blue singleton < guy becomes slave
- Harem < becomes Mungki
- Wanna be Mungki
- But girls staring at Mungki's face/chest more blatant than him staring lololol
- Yin energy thick af
- Found my yin energy spot
Far from it, viewers kept growing.
'Female cam but... ah, like all-rounder streamer vibe? Daily life focus....'
Yeah, plenty of female streamers chill with male ones.
Seemed like that type.
Anyway, the drinks flowed nicely, nothing major.
Chatting with viewers occasionally, toasts, daily stories.
Atmosphere holding steady till time to wrap.
"Eeeeeek!"
Something happened.
++++++
Shukang had a habit of touching whoever was next to her when drinking.
She knew it, so never drank next to guys.
Same in collabs.
But.
'...Driving me crazy.'
One look at Mungki's body, and she got it.
This guy was one she'd never seen before, never would again.
Honestly, she'd snuck a few touches already.
Arms brushing, shoulders bumping lightly, tapping shoulders.
Natural skinship in convo.
But Mungki didn't mind at all.
Like, is this how these types are? Purely seeing her as office coworker with boobs.
'That's why it's hotter.'
Something ignited.
But that was nearing its end.
Buzz kicking in, still first meet, time to mess up a bit.
"But Mungki, no interest in marriage shows? Bet you get tons of offers, or at least think about it."
"Marriage shows?"
"Yeah, none? I'm a marriage show auntie, love watching them."
"Nah, not really into marriage shows. Unless it's not just temporary in-game stuff...."
"Why?"
"If you marry me, even fake, could you marry someone else after? Another guy? After experiencing me?"
- Crazy bastard
- lolololololol
- Confidence where
- Why suddenly faceplant in s11b cam
- Why only big eyes like Crayon Shin-chan dad for these lines
- Mungki, you tricked me?
- But that confidence has basis, pissing me off
- Yeah who'd seek another guy after marrying you
- And Mungki's a bad boy too s11b
- Girl who went to bad boy can never date nice guy...
Convo flowed on.
"Marriage shows... I'm confident. Confident I'd date another girl right after... but worried she'd never forget me... that's why no marriage shows."
"...But saying that with your face makes it convincing and annoying, you know?"
"Shukang, you can't deny it."
"...True though~"
Topics nearly exhausted.
"Eeeeeek!"
A real scream burst from Muming.
"What! What happened!"
"Why the sudden freakout!"
Genuine shock, higher pitch than horror games. Herami and Shukang panicked.
Mungki just stared at the screen with a weird expression, silent.
The screamer, Muming.
"M-Mungki... I-I'm so sorry... really... truly sorry...."
She slid off her chair, knelt, and apologized to Mungki.
Everyone but Mungki and Muming clueless, just confused.
"No, it's fine. Happens. I think it's just a mistake. Really, get up, it's okay."
"Th-that, ah... really... so sorry."
- What the hell happened
- Why just you two
- But I think I know?
- ㄹㅇlolololol
- Muming's hand position tells why
- What is it
- Oh that?
Viewers pieced it from fragments.
Sharp Herami beside Muming realized something.
"M-Muming... did you... put your hand on Mungki's thigh and... touch that?"
Bluntly stated the cause.
"No! I was trying to... adjust cuz my skirt kept riding up... didn't look, just reached... flailing hand hit inner thigh, Mungki, that... you know."
Muming's face reddened like a tomato, head bowed, explaining.
Like Conan nailing the culprit, who then spills everything.
"Not on purpose... truly not. Really sorry."
"No, ah... I'm totally fine. Could happen."
"Never imagined it'd be there... so sorry."
- Where the hell was it
- Inner thigh means damn lol
- What he carrying
- Frankfurter real?
- Not 3cm?
- God unfair
- First time femcam touches guy's junk?
- Normally nothing there
- ㅠㅠ
"But this means...."
"Yeah?"
"Not Love House, but Pervert House... was I connected to perverts...."
- lololololololol
- lolololololololol
- But Mungki really unfazed
- That confident face pisses me off
- oO(Yeah as if you'd imagine that there lol)
- oO(Only at my level does it fit there, big surprise huh)
With the culprit revealed.
Mungki's surprise drinking invite ended.
And two women watching incognito.
"...What the, insane. I haven't even touched it yet! Crossing lines! How dare you, first-timer!"
"Hah, Mungki... sure I was virtual but... didn't show that side on our date... just like those maids! L-Letting other girls touch freely... defense too weak."
They vented fury.
+++++++
Afternoon next day after clean stream end.

I turned on stream and viewers immediately spilled what happened to me.
"No, not like that. Just a mistake. Don't blow it up... misunderstanding, accident. Mistake."

- Munggrudge story) Girl who touched my body lives next door, houses connected even
- ㅇㄱㅈㅉㅇㅇ?
- Scary af
Typical vibe: all happy I'm the butt of jokes.
Felt no harm to Muming, so let it be.
Truth is, better than strict chat control.
Let viewers laugh and self-cleanse.
- Mungki, saw patch notes today?
"Patch notes? Oh, update today?"
- Updated while you got groped
- lolololololol
- Summer vac soon
- Updated while soft spot hit ㅠㅠ
- Auction house added lol
- You not using zone 1 gear anymore right? Boar tusks dual blades, sell ㅇㅇ
- Everyone dumping randoms playing now
"Yeah? Gotta check it out then."
Vacation Server got auction house? Wouldn't that boost exploration value?
'Makes valuable stuff via crafting in production?'
Various thoughts.
Logged into Vacation Server straight to auction house.
"Whoa, live auctions separate... and pure bidding ones too."
Huge grand building.
Museum-like auction items, further in opera theater stage.
Seats overlooking central stage.
Live auctions there probably.
"Whoa, tons of stuff?"
- ㄹㅇ
- Early game, not many rares?
- ㅇㅈ
- Just for existence sake
"Live auctions allow direct join too, o...."
- Duh live auction means join
- What nonsense
- Comprehension this low?
I glanced chat, rechecked auction system.
Live auctions higher prices with more bidders.
Many aimed high via live.
"Hmm... item whatever, okay. Seems I get it better than you guys."
- ?
- Sudden what
"Wait, something to try."
- Whatcha doing
- What you doing crazy
- Ttaran-tta† For real? Actually?
Wonder if this works, trying.
+++++++
Moments later.

Viewers laughed.
"Ah...."
I panicked at unexpected.
And regardless.
"Now then! Live auction start! Huge one first day?!"
Live auctioneer proceeded.
"Today's main item! Mungki!"
"...."

- Who self-auctions out of curiosity lolololololol
- Actually works is legend
- Despair hearing can't cancel bug, just proceed lolololol
"Start price: 1 Vacation Coin!"
Word dropped.
Signs shot up fast.
All bidding to buy me.
Ah, didn't expect this.
Please spare me, please.
