[Does that even make sense lololol]

[Seems like bullshit, let's check it out]
I'd figured it'd take at least a month or two, but he claims he gathered it all in one day. Baccarat and blackjack did heat up toward the end, but not enough for that.
— Viewer
[Autopsy time go go go, this is fucking suspicious]
"Hold on a sec."
I clicked on the Chairman's ID to check his info.

"What the... 420k?"
My jaw dropped at the points packed into the Chairman's ID.
— Viewer
[What the hell is that lololol]
— Viewer
[Does that add up?]
"Channel points aren't shared, right? Only usable in my room?"
— Viewer
[Yeah Han Ga-eul room exclusive, literally channel points for Ga-eul's stream]
— Viewer
[But why that many?]

[lololol played baccarat and blackjack a ton, and gambling always has its ways]
He'd blown past double the initial 200k points he'd mentioned, hitting 420k.
"Guys, just checking—your points at zero now? Hands up."
— Viewer
[yeah]

[totally drained]

"Enough, enough."
The chat exploded with messages claiming they'd blown all their points. The culprit was probably the Chairman right in front of me.
"Red, what are you? A pro gambler?"
— Viewer
[Ga-eul room even amazes the Chairman lololol]
— Viewer
[Seriously curious lol]
Channel points couldn't be bought with cash. That meant he'd farmed them all solo.

[So can I use my wish ticket?]
"Yeah, sure. It's not from anything shady, so go for it. What're you using it on?"
— Viewer
[Chairman bastard speak straight lololol]

[Don't wanna die, choose wisely]
"Don't say it in the donation message. Hold up."
He seemed to donate on every word I said, so I clicked his ID and opened a private chat window.
"Okay, spill it."
— Red Parade
Got a party coming up—can you come as my partner?
"A party? Fuck, do you rich kids from that fancy neighborhood actually do parties?"
— Red Parade
lololol
— Viewer
[Ooh party partner straight out of drama lololol]
— Viewer
[Curious what color panties Chairman's wearing]
"Gotta wear a dress or something? Fucking hate that."
Imagining myself decked out in some flowy dress made my stomach turn.
— Red Parade
lololol no dress code, super casual fun spot
"Alright then? Still, I've never been to a place like that. Kinda overwhelming."
— Red Parade
Wish. Tick.et.
"Wasn't it full-rights or something?"
— Red Parade
nono just a regular wish ticket
I really didn't want to go, but no good excuse came to mind.
"Fine... it's a promise, so I'll go. You watching, Cheol-ah? He's dragging me to some sketchy spot. I'm scared."

Why me tho
I'd said it offhand, but the weight of it hit harder than expected. A party? In my stars? The word felt worlds away from me.
"So when and where?"
— Red Parade
In two days. Can I get your home address? Nearby café's fine if inconvenient.
"Why so last-minute, asshole? I'm a busy woman. Should've said sooner."
— Red Parade
Srsly sorry but I won the wish ticket today, what to do...
"Fair enough."
— Red Parade
? Why am I catching strays
"My kids can roast me all they want."
— Red Parade
ㅇ_ㅋ
Nothing to hide, so I gave him my address and kept streaming.
About two hours later, the doorbell rang outside.
Ding-dong.
"What? My own doorbell?"
— Viewer
[Streamer doesn't know her own doorbell?]
— Viewer
[lololol fucking hilarious]
"Who else comes here besides my sis?"
As I started to get up to check, a donation pinged from Red.

[I sent someone]
"What kinda nonsense."
His claim of sending someone had me tell the viewers to hang tight before heading to the yard.
A silhouette showed through the iron gate.
"Who is it?"
Opening the door revealed an old man with a stylish white mustache and impeccable suit.
"Good day. I'm Kamar, head butler of the Shams family."
"Huh?"
To my blank noise, the blue-eyed butler gave a polite bow.
His pronunciation was crisper than mine, but no mistaking the foreigner.
"...Shams?"
"Yes, the Shams family. Young Master Namir sent me."
"Na...mir?"
"Namir."
"Who's that?"
I knew. No need to ask—it was the Chairman. But a foreign butler showing up at my rooftop dive felt too surreal not to double-check.
"Young Master asked me to relay a message. I'm here to assist you, miss."
"Ah... yeah. I heard, but... assist how exactly?"
The blue-eyed old butler flaunted flawless Korean. If the Chairman were here, I'd smack his head clean off.
As I mentally decked the Chairman, the old man moved briskly and handed me paper and a pen.
"Do you have a passport and visa, miss?"
"Uh... no, don't."
"Then please sign here."
The stack: one in Korean, the rest English.
"Proxy application power of attorney?"
"Yes, I'll handle everything."
"Handle what? What's all this?"
The butler stared blankly, pondered a moment, then nodded to himself like it clicked.
"Seems Young Master didn't explain properly. The party you're attending is in the United Arab Emirates—specifically aboard a yacht between Dubai and Abu Dhabi."
"What the..."
I flipped between the papers in my hand and his face, then signed under his expectant gaze and handed them back.
"This good?"
"Perfect. See you tomorrow. Pack light—phone and such. I'll prepare the rest. One last thing: your ID?"
With another crisp bow, the blue-eyed old man—who spoke better Korean than me—vanished.
The ridiculousness—like beans stir-fried by lightning—had me light a cig before heading back inside.

[Ga ha]

[Why'd you come back now, wanted to see!!]
— Viewer
[Who was it? Chairman's guy?]
"Yo, Namir."
— Viewer
[???nami? Who's that]

[??????]
A bit later, a reply came after my call-out.

[What's going on]
"Idk. Chairman sent his head butler or whatever, and yeah, foreigner too."
— Viewer
[Lmao his name Namir kekeke]
— Viewer
[Fuck butler? Chairman lives like a king, thought that was manga-only?]
"That's what I'm saying. Not the Middle Ages or anything, but a butler."
The viewers went wild over the Chairman and butler drama.
"Yo Na.mir. Explain straight or your skull gets smashed. What the fuck is this Arab shit? What gives."
— Viewer
[Arab? Wtf]

[Chairman panties—what color today?]

[Hehe srsly lol didn't explain cuz afraid you wouldn't come, and it's Namir]
— Viewer
[Lmao Na.mir sounds pro at sailing kekeke]
My head spun. I'm a homebody at heart. Farthest I've gone is Jeju, and now suddenly the Arab world?
"Can't you keep it to basic common sense?"
I pinged the private chat again, like demanding an excuse.
— Red Parade
ㅠㅠ Won't you come? Worked my ass off for that wish ticket
His words suddenly sparked guilt.
"Ugh, fine. Going. Chairman's one of mine, gotta."
— Red Parade
Yahoo!
"Yahoo my ass. So you Middle Eastern?"
— Red Parade
Mixed blood. Namir Shams. Namir's the first name, Shams the family.
Living long enough brings these weird turns—I couldn't help but laugh. Tomorrow UAE, and the Chairman this whole time? Middle Eastern.
"So my room's Chairman's Arab?"
— Red Parade
I'm Korean, got citizenship
"Eh, really? Korean name too?"
— Red Parade
Yeah Kim Jin-woo
"What Kim Jin-woo. How 'bout Old Dick Peak?"
— Viewer
[Nice, Arab Old Dick Peak]
— Viewer
[lolololol so funny]
— Red Parade
Why me again
Bullied the Chairman hard, then it sank in: I'm heading overseas.
"Don't even know an Arabic greeting—should study up? Teach me, Chairman."
— Red Parade

My heart raced harder with each lesson. Tomorrow, foreign soil.
