"This is fucked."

"Fuck, starting again. Adding five thousand Mae Wang Kwon!"
Eun-a unnie said something this good needs to be shared, so she quickly uploaded yesterday's song from her place to the video platform.
Thanks to that—or whatever—the unwanted customers who'd stopped coming are flooding back like a tidal wave.
— ⚔️Kiyot I got a manager too! — ⚔️Real no-mom broadcast lol — ⚔️Chat managers hit ten thousand emotional real story "Oh right. When I went out yesterday, felt like reporters were guarding the house."
— ⚔️??? What feeling? — ⚔️Those bastards went that far? "I told them the house address for the bread meeting, so maybe that's why."
— ⚔️Wtf you talking about Captain — ⚔️Why's your speech like that — ⚔️No those reporter bastards don't know moderation? Insane? I casually brought it up while looking at the surging crowd, thinking I'd share the story, but the viewers' reactions were fiercer than expected.
"Like reporters snapping pics with cameras, then I drop the camera and stomp it—felt crushed like that."
— ⚔️lololol Captain I knew when your eyes darted yesterday — ⚔️Told you I believed Hansaeng — ⚔️Already smashed them lol — ⚔️So face reveal feeling? "Nah. Felt like I transformed."
Childhood friends are like this, right?
Drum goes, they bang the hourglass drum back; gong goes, they clash the cymbal.
Chatting happily with viewers like that, Baeksul, who'd been dozing on my head, hopped down onto the desk.
"All done sleeping?"
"Hungry."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Meal time! "Eat up."
— ⚔️Baekha — Captain talks to Baeksul? — For real the more I see the weirder "We communicate. Don't you know Baeksul's smart?"
— More than that, where do those flowers keep popping from? That's what I'm curious about — ⚔️lolololol Watching Baeksul munch away at the petals makes my stomach growl.
"When's my food coming? Ordered ages ago."
— ⚔️What? When'd you order? — ⚔️What'd you order? "Ordered while chatting with you guys earlier cuz I got hungry. Menu when it arrives."
Bzzz—
Phone vibrates right as I finish speaking.
<Leaving it at the door>
"It's here! Grabbing food."
Dash to the rooftop, open the door—everything I ordered is there.
Two items from different places, arriving together. Delivery apps are really on point these days.
Set the food on the desk, lower the camera a bit.
"Ta-da."
— ⚔️Kya taste expert — Starving now — ⚔️Look at that sushi color — What's next to it? "Next to it?"
Pop the lid on the opaque heat-resistant disposable bowl at the viewer's question—hot steam billows up.
Milky broth packed with big chunks of meat, a feast that'd rumble souls.
Brimming with flavor and infinite potential.
"Soul food gukbap. Got hungry, ordered two kinds."
— ⚔️Kya? — ⚔️??? — ⚔️ — ⚔️Rootless Captain sushi + gukbap what combo is this "What? Both have rice. Sushi gukbap."
— ⚔️Kya didn't know that lol — ⚔️lolol thought she was cute let her slide now she's out of control — ⚔️Ten-Captain know your limits The viewers who'd gladly raged for me earlier about the reporters were burning even hotter now.
"Why you little shits! Just eat it."
— ⚔️That kimchi nabe shit? Mix what needs mixing — ⚔️So rootless it's hilarious lolol "Shut up before I add pepperoni and cheese to pork gukbap."
— ⚔️lol crossed the line — ⚔️Urk even for Captain that's too much Bantering with viewers, Baeksul from the side proudly offers the Golden Bellflower.
Eye contact with Baeksul, and without words, the message comes through.
Dip my petals in that milky bone broth right now.
I eye-ask if it's gukbap she wants, she shakes her head no.
Thought I read her mind, but nope.
Baeksul's toe passes the gukbap, stops at the ssamjang container.
Domestic hybrid foreign breed Posiragi.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Jang Hyun-rae, a reporter for Yuhan Ilbo, was hiding near the home of streamer Han Ga-eul, unable to withstand his senior's scolding to watch the person of interest.
"No, he should do it himself. How am I supposed to know when a home-streamer goes out... Hic."
CurSing his inconsiderate senior for keeping him till late, Jang Hyun-rae unwittingly clamped his mouth shut.
Tap.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The person who'd shown no sign of coming down for hours was finally stepping out into the pitch-black night—the footsteps echoing in the narrow stairs grew louder.
'Senior said her senses are ghost-like, be careful... what else was it?'
Tension peaking as he recalled his senior's words, the footsteps suddenly stopped.
'Wh-what? She noticed?'
Tap.
Stopped only briefly, they resumed as if nothing, and the awaited protagonist poked her face out.
"Gasp!"
Bathed in faint moonlight, her appearance was grotesque enough to force a groan past his covered mouth.
Bulging eyes.
Huge hooked nose.
A mask shaped like her negative personality incarnate.
Paradoxically, her lips visible through the openings were stunningly beautiful.
Plump just right, glossy lips.
Staring dazed at the lips sparkling in moonlight, he saw her, who'd paused, move toward the wide storage area nearby.
Cautiously following, he hid against the wall and pricked his ears.
"Miss..."
"Not just one or two, it's fine. I'll handle it shortly."
"Yes."
A voice so beautiful it'd enchant just hearing it rang through the quiet night sky.
Too far for clear eavesdropping, but she said she'd handle something.
'Handle what?'
They kept talking, so he strained harder.
"But real bullet delivery. Why not leave it on the rooftop?"
"Too much volume. Roof'd collapse from the weight."
"Huh. This all of it?"
"Yes. That's it."
'That?'
Peeking over, crude nailed wooden crates towered like mountains in the yard.
"No, they sent this too?"
"...Just received it myself, didn't know. Miss, starting a war?"
'Gasp.'
Wooden crates piled in the vast yard.
In Jang Hyun-rae's head, who often watched violent movies, horrific imagined scenes played out.
Gangsters lurking in shadows.
Drug and arms trafficking.
Prostitution.
All sorts of crime.
And the protagonist standing against them in chaotic times.
'Me?'
As endless delusions gripped him, he realized their voices had stopped.
"Peekaboo?"
"Hiyaaaaah!"
The bulging mask, scary just to look at, was suddenly right in his face.
—Crack!
Like a sledgehammer to the back of his head. Jang Hyun-rae's consciousness faded.
"It was... me...?"
Thud.
"What do you mean 'me'."
"Miss?"
"Nah. The rat bastard I mentioned earlier. Says it's him while passing out. Who is he?"
On the ground, as consciousness ebbed from Jang Hyun-rae, his senior's words flashed.
「She's a real-deal psycho bitch with no backing, watch out」
