LightIt’s Jeon Jeonseol board had been open for three days.
That made it five days since her last stream.
The stream still hadn’t gone live.
Without a single announcement.

But with no word from her at all, wild theories started popping up.
📰 Post [Author: NeedPower] [Title: Jeonseol Eyes, You Aren't Actually Sick Somewhere, Right?] Sudden ambulance during first stream king sesh, Her streaming pattern isn't newbie but Handsome's 13cm thing is weird, Maybe big illness as kid stunted growth? Never explained the ambulance in the end, How often does a normal person call 119? TeamA out for 3 years but true game fan starting now? Weird, Maybe in hospital 3 years? Seems to shy away from growing stream, no daily life talk, meh on donos, keeps saying don't spam, Acting so people won't miss her if she vanishes? — NotNovel Not a novel — WhyConvincing But why so convincing ⭐ Top Comment — JeonseolFan Jeonseol don't be sick ㅠㅠㅠ — VictoryWild? Victory, Wild, you guys don't know about this? — FrailLegend Frail sickly pure beauty Jeon Jeonseol ㄷㄷ It was too much like a novel, even if it was fiction.
But there was no other way to explain it.
So some people started believing it for real.
Is Jeon Jeonseol actually sick somewhere?
Not the sarcastic "head injury" jab, but genuine worry.
And when she finally returned, she fanned the flames even more.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Cough, cough! Cough! Cough! Long time no see, everyone."
...Is she really seriously ill?
"I heard rumors you're sick somewhere, but cough! That's not true. Cough!"
Denying it while coughing just makes it seem more real.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I needed time to think it over.
I was at a crossroads.
The path half into society, or becoming an internet ghost.
If I joined an MCN and went pro with streaming, I'd inevitably tangle with others somehow.
Even if I didn't leave home much more, more people would know my name, face, and whereabouts.
Or I could give up decent money—no, big money—and stay a hobby streamer holed up in my room.
A room is safe and comfy.
Nothing much threatens me there.
'The world outside the blanket is dangerous.'
I've seen real catastrophe up close.
Back when I was in college in the US.
There was a shooting because of me.
Unlike the vague idea that advanced countries are always better than Korea, America is where people live too, and their macho culture was hilariously extreme.
Pick the veggies off your burger and you're gay, bring an umbrella in the rain and you're gay so get hit, listen to female singers gay, long bangs gay, drive a girly car gay, anything and you're gay.
And guys who watch anime? Gay.
That mindset sparked the incident.
As everyone knows, I love anime.
My top fave is Magical Girls Chronicle.
Magical Fight is a fan game of it.
Having already become a girl physically, I could say I liked it without issue.
But the guy who got friendly with me over anime talk got bullied—called a "weeaboo" or whatever slur—for it.
Later I found out guys I'd rejected banded together out of spite to gang up on him.
What kind of macho is that? Cut your dicks off, you idiots.
How'd I find out about the bullying?
My friend shot them all with a gun.
That's how scary US bullying is.
Luckily no one died, but he crippled their legs and arms, landed in prison.
He smirked at me like it was cool.
Honestly, I was terrified, half-thinking I'd shoot too.
Not my fault, but I could see blaming me.
So I dropped out and locked myself in my room.
Going outside scared me for real.
'Outside the house is dangerous.'
That's why I came back to gun-free Korea.
People can kill with spoons too, but guns change everything.
'But I don't want to keep worrying the family.'
Seol-yoon, Dad, Mom too...
They'd prefer me going out over staying a hikikomori.
'But it's still scary.'
The thought that I'm so pretty everyone will fall for me.
Too many smitten fans and chaos ensues again.
Can't shake it.
That's what I'd been agonizing over for days.
Head too messy, so I ran on the treadmill at the gym all day.
Couldn't run outside in midwinter, gym seemed safe indoors.
Running till runner's high cleared my head a bit.
But overdid it.
Victory - <Seriously sick somewhere?>
"Cough, cough."
So when Victory messaged that, I really had a cold.
Cough.
Victory - <No announcement at all, hospital again?>
Cough cough, cough cough cough, cough cough.
Victory - <You said you'd bring stuff next stream, right?> Victory - <Means no stream till you prep it> Legender - <Why's that?> Legender - <Weird?> Victory - <Obviously weird> Victory - <What kinda logic> Legender - <OK fine, not sick> Victory - <Then post announcement on LightIt> Victory - <Everyone freaking you're sick> Hmm.
True.
People waiting for me?
Board was a mess, as expected.
Jeon Jeonseol terminal illness theory?
I'm not dying.
Don't film weird obsession stuff.
It's kinda scary.
'Why so obsessed with me?'
Unique, sure.
Girl who games too well.
No easy replacement.
But just that level, right?
Just a channel slightly more eye-catching among tons of entertainment.
Me gone wouldn't change much.
Why this obsession?
'Cause I'm too pretty?'
Nah, rejected.
No one knows I'm top SSS beauty in the dono region.
Voice...
Pretty voice from vocal training.
One radio channel gone, lives don't change.
Dunno why they like me so much, just watch others, right?
...Feels nice though.
Not ditching for other houses.
Wagging tails in our yard, waiting.
Kinda cute.
Maybe post a survival notice.
Cough.
I turned on the stream.
"Cough, cough! Cough! Cough! Long time no see, everyone."
