Chapter Title: Tenshi-san's Sleepover
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My head feels heavy.
So heavy that if I just sit still, it keeps tilting to one side.
Thud.
Once again, my head tilted and bumped into Tenshi-san's small shoulder next to me.
“Ehehe.”
But Tenshi-san was already totally wasted too, just grinning vacantly.
…Did we drink too much? Neither of us can think straight.
“Hey, ladies, we're here now.”
As I inwardly cursed my past self for drinking so much, the taxi had already pulled up in front of the house.
“Ah, thank you. Card, please.”
“Aigoo, it's late—hurry inside.”
After paying, I carefully helped Tenshi-san out of the taxi.
I felt a bit worried as we passed through the gate and headed to the front door.
Hmm… It's pretty late and we're both pretty drunk, but it'll be fine, right…?
Of course, I'd gotten permission for Tenshi-san to sleep over.
But it's so late, and we're both this smashed…
No, maybe Mrs. Jang is already asleep.
We can sneak in quietly, wash up quietly, go to my room, and crash.
But the house I entered after quietly unlocking the door was a little different from what I'd expected.
“You're finally back?”
Mrs. Jang was plopped on the sofa, watching TV.
“Huh? You're not asleep?”
“How could I sleep when my daughter is finally bringing a friend home?”
She stood up, gave Tenshi-san a once-over, then looked at me and said,
“So why'd you come home so drunk? At this hour?”
Then she reached out with both hands and grabbed my cheeks tight.
“Ow…”
“Phew, smell that booze. Look at that flushed face. Should your friend head to your room first?”
…Why is she being so scary?
Her tone is gentle, at least…
I relaxed a bit and followed her to the middle of the living room, and right then…
“Aigoo, you little rascal!”
Smack!
Mrs. Jang's hand slammed into my back.
“Ow!”
“You! Brought! A friend! Home!”
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
My back was like a drum, with Mrs. Jang's hands pounding away like mad.
“Ow! It hurts!”
“You little drunkard!”
I'd told her ahead of time and gotten permission, so why… am I getting hit right now?
“Uh, uh—um…”
Tenshi-san rolled her eyes, flustered at the sight of me getting thrashed.
But she's a born broadcaster—even drunk, she instantly read the room.
“Um…”
After rolling her eyes for a moment to size up the situation, Tenshi-san…
“S-Su, Suhyun said we should drink…”
“Tenshi-san?”
Sold me out flat.
I trusted you!
“I knew it, you rascal!”
“Wh-what is this!”
Okay, sure, I did suggest it.
But… it was the normal thing to do, right?
What do you drink at a barbecue joint if not booze?
Sure, we drank enough to turn our faces red!
“Suhyun's friend?”
“Yup!”
“Go wash up and change into something comfy.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course, make yourself at home.”
Mrs. Jang put on a suddenly warm face and herded Tenshi-san into the bathroom.
"I'll wash up too…
"You, come here a sec."
After that, Tenshi-san finished washing, and even before I could head to the bathroom, I got an earful.
…Should've just booked a hotel.
***
“Ow, my head…”
It feels like my skull's splitting open.
How much did I drink last night?
I went way overboard… should’ve paced myself thinking about today.
And it's not just my head—my whole body feels heavy… must be my condition…
“Ah.”
My body felt heavy not because of my condition, but because Tenshi-san's arms and legs were draped over me.
Why are we in the same bed?
I definitely laid out separate blankets last night… guess I climbed into bed at some point.
Well, now I'm Tenshi-san's human pillow, so whatever.
“Mm…”
She must've heard me stir, because Tenshi-san furrowed her brow and made a noise.
Oops, almost woke her—better slip out of bed first…
Squeeze.
“Eek!”
I tried to get up, but Tenshi-san instantly pulled me back in and rolled us both into bed again.
“Ehehe…”
Her face said she was still asleep.
And one thing I just learned: Tenshi-san's body is way stronger than mine, which has zero muscle.
Trapped by her superior strength, unable to do anything, I just closed my eyes again.
Screw it… I'll just sleep more.
She'll let go when she wakes up.
But as I dozed off again, Tenshi-san's voice woke me—the one who had woken up.
“Etto— are you okay?!”
Looks like she woke up, saw she'd turned me into her human pillow, and freaked.
“Ah, yeah… I'm fine. You fully awake now?”
Honestly, being held by a beauty like Tenshi-san? No complaints.
“Ah, yeah… what time is it?”
“Hmm…”
I glanced at my phone— the sun was already high in the sky.
I showed her too, and she nodded.
“Hmm… guess we need lunch.”
“Yeah, probably.”
“I'll go wash my face first!”
Full of energy.
Well, she's on a trip—hangover's the last thing on her mind.
Guess I should get up too. Lunch—something hearty like beef soup for the hangover?
I followed Tenshi-san out to the living room.
And then…
Patpatpatpat—
Boksil came charging toward us, feet slapping noisily.
“Eek! Kawaii!”
Tenshi-san hadn't seen Boksil last night since it was late and he was asleep, but now her face lit up.
“What's this? This adorable creature!”
Typical Japanese… that speech pattern.
“Our house mascot. Goes nuts for people.”
“Hehe… so cute.”
He is cute.
I stared at the furball ignoring its owner and lapping up Tenshi-san's pets.
Sigh, raising a dog is pointless.
Shouldn't it come to its owner first for affection?
I get Kim Bu Jang's feelings a bit now.
We washed up, ate the hangover remedy dried pollack soup Mrs. Jang made, spent some time like that, then went back to my room and lounged around.
Hmm… but why no sign of her wanting to head out?
I glanced at Tenshi-san next to me on the bed.
I figured since it's a trip, she'd wanna go sightseeing, but she's sprawled out.
“Hmm… you sure you don't wanna go out? Weren't we gonna hit the department store?”
“Uh… could we go tomorrow instead? Truth is, I just wanna chill like this today…”
If her schedule's clear, I don't mind.
My hangover hasn't fully cleared either.
“I'm good either way.”
Streaming? I can take another day off.
As I lounged too…
“Ah!”
Tenshi-san suddenly shot up beside me.
“Wh-what?”
Scared me. What? Did we forget something at the barbecue place last night?
“Any convenience stores around?”
Convenience store? Oh yeah… I remember hunting for one when I went to Japan.
“Convenience store? There's one right out front.”
“Then… could you come with me later? I wanna buy a ton of food from a Korean one…”
“Sure, this evening.”
Since she's here in Korea, I wanna let her do whatever she wants.
Gotta make the trip memorable.
“Great! I'm gonna try cup ramen too!”
“There's cup ramen at home right now.”
“Eeeh—? Really?”
Dad uses them for late-night snacks sometimes… there should be a few on the shelf.
“Wanna try one? Got a small size.”
“Uh…”
Tenshi-san furrowed her brow like she was seriously pondering, then shook her head.
“Nope! Let's go to the convenience store together later!”
“Sure, whatever.”
Doesn't matter to me.
Still, with the stream off for three days now, should I do an extra announcement stream?
As a pro streamer, consistent updates like this build trust.
“Hmm… Tenshi-san, mind if I do a quick stream?”
“Stream?”
“Yeah, I do hiatus announcements via stream.”
“Oh, I've seen those!”
She watches my streams that closely?
“Don't mind me! Honestly, I've always wanted to see you streaming.”
“It's nothing special…”
Streams are streams, Japan or Korea.
“Shall I start?”
“Eeh? Right now?”
“I'm the 'do it when I think of it' type.”
Pull the iron while it's hot, right?
She probably doesn't know the saying.
“Eek, then I'll watch from behind!”
“Sure, might take a bit.”
It's a stream—gotta do at least an hour, right?
Having someone watching from behind… hmm, whatever.
She watches my streams anyway—no big deal.
I opened the soundproof booth door, went in, and booted the PC right away.
“Nice computer!”
“Right? This one's pricey.”
We chatted idly as the PC fired up fast, and I quickly set up the stream.
“Okay, I'm going live now?”
“Should I be quiet? *Gasp!*”
“Nah, no need.”
“Really okay?”
“Yeah, just say my friend came to visit.”
If Tenshi-san were a guy, the stream would explode with protests, but she's a girl?
They'd love it—no anger.
Thinking that, I went live.
[Hiatus Notice]
-???
-Don't fuck around lol
-Another hiatus??
-Haa... gotta be, right?
Maybe the blunt title made the chat erupt right away.
“Everyone, calm down.”
-How tf we supposed to calm down???
-Tell us why ㅇㅇ
-What if we don't calm down
Hmm… title hit the panic button hard—no calming down.
Time to inject new info and cool their brains.
“You know my friend from far away came to visit, right?”
I'd mentioned it in the previous day's hiatus announcement before meeting Tenshi-san.
-ㅇㅇ
-So one more day off?
“Thing is, we drank too much yesterday, so I'm off today with a hangover and showing her Seoul tomorrow. You'll understand, right?”
-No you fuck
-Kraaaah! Nooo! One day!
-So is the friend here rn?
“Ah, that friend? She's right behind me.”
-Bring her
-If she's here, she gotta guest, right??
-Plz make this stream long at least..
Hmm… they all want Tenshi-san?
They don't know it's her yet, of course.
Well, if they want…
I turned to look behind me.
“Mmph.”
Worried about stream etiquette, or maybe not wanting to be chat's target…
Tenshi-san had her mouth clamped shut, peeking over here.
“You can talk.”
I chuckled dryly and said that, making her look stunned.
“I was being quiet on purpose!”
-O
-What's that voice
-Kya lol
-Say more quick..
“Here's the culprit for my hiatus, everyone. Say hi.”
“Eek? Don't phrase it like that—what does that make me!?”
“Gotta satisfy you all today to make up for tomorrow's off day.”
-You?
-Who dis?
-Nice to meet ya lol
-Welcome ^^ you bitch lol
-You're why Miro's off tomorrow
-Make us happy then
And so.
An impromptu collab began—just a little intentional.
