Even though Suhyun turned on her stream at a ridiculously late hour, the community started relaying it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

I opened my eyes to the sun already high in the sky outside the window.
"Ugh..."
Clutching my pounding head and queasy stomach, I dragged myself out of bed.
At least I washed up properly before crashing, small mercy?
Grabbed my phone out of modern habit, but it was dead, so plugged it in.
Then headed to the kitchen for water, spotting the stack of beer cans by the sink.
And the memories from last night naturally surfaced...
"Aaack!"
What the hell did I do...?
Stream was one thing, but belting out songs at dawn?
No defense if reported.
And someone actually came up.
Gotta... apologize properly, right?
Grab something this afternoon and go apologize for real.
But first, hangover cure.
Can't do shit with this gut.
Boiled some instant egg ramen, turned on my phone.
"Whew.."
Notifications flooded in right away.
Started with Ayoung and Hyunsu's texts checking if I got home safe, then manager's mid-drink call, and post-sleep messages from other members hearing about my stream.
Replied to each while eating.
Tossed pot and dishes in the sink, flopped on bed thinking what next.
'Gotta grocery shop... apologize downstairs..'
Gotta go out.
Hated the heat, but dragged myself anyway.
Groceries from mart, small cake from nearby bakery, back home.
Sweating buckets in minutes, cooled off with AC on chair, then grabbed cake for downstairs.
Knock knock—super careful.
Afternoon, might be out, but door opened luckily.
"Who... oh."
"Sorry about last night.. I was drinking."
"Oh, that.. it's fine. Wasn't that loud. Haha.."
Shoved cake into the flustered guy's arms, apologized again, headed home.
"...that all?"
Groceries, downstairs apology.
Just housework left, later!
Dove straight into bed.
Laze with that alt-history novel I started...
Bzzz—
Phone rang mid-thought.
Manager, as expected.
What? No big deal in texts earlier...
Did I say something dumb drunk? Tense, picked up.
"...Hello?"
[Ah, yes, Miro-nim.]
Voice calm at least?
"Yes."
[Saw your stream yesterday.]
"Haha.. did you?"
[Honestly a bit nerve-wracking, but glad it ended without issues.]
Nerve-wracking stabbed my chest, but no issues good?
"Haha.. watched till the late end?"
[Yeah.. once started, couldn't sleep.]
"Stream that fun?"
[Won't deny that.]
Didn't ask other reasons.
Would just embarrass me.
"Um.. so, what's up?"
[Ah, about the new song.]
New song?
They ask opinions periodically, this too?
"Um.. nothing comes to mind now."
[Say if you do, this is from the composer.]
"Composer?"
Heavenly Realm Project album guy.
Famous pro making VTuber songs?
[Composer wants to meet members one-on-one about the track. Picked you first.]
"...Pardon?"
[Met at recording, right? Go chat opinions. Expecting good results.]
"Uh.. when?"
[Said whenever convenient, I said you're mostly free, so tomorrow or day after afternoon good.]
Don't say that, makes me seem free-as..
"Tomorrow or day after afternoon?"
[Time issue?]
"No... fine."
Surprisingly, I really was free.
So next day, off to the studio.
*
"Hot as hell."
Arrived at the studio from last time with Maho.
Inside, composer waiting.
"Hello."
"Been a while. This way."
Months since first meet, still skinny, long hair, stubbly chin.
"Have a seat here."
Recording studio again.
Full setup: sofa, table.
Sat per his lead.
He pulled chair from gear to opposite table, set down prepared notebook.
"Called you cuz some questions during composing."
Deadpan as ever, then questions.
Favorite songs, confident range, songs wanna sing.
Obvious composition-related, paused thoughtful, another question.
"Uh, what do you mean less personality?"
Personality?
Huh?
Pondering, recalled first manager feedback.
Softened what Hyunsu said...
"That? Uh.. played for a singer friend, they said that..."
Got good song but complaining? Ready to throw Hyunsu under.
Not throwing, he said it!
"Slim Gold?"
He beat me, put Hyunsu on the chopping block first.
"Yeah?"
"That friend, right?"
"How'd you know?"
"He.. did featuring?"
"Oh."
Never expected him to know.
