Chapter Title: Seraphim's Idol Bombshell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The viewers' reactions to Han-gyeol's bombshell statement were as follows.
Yeah.
Han-gyeol had successfully become a hook collector.
The viewers couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying.
Yahweh?
An idol group?
For a moment, they were tempted to type out some blasphemous retort, but what they were watching on stream right now was the real-deal angel who had ended the long-standing religious conflicts in the Middle East with a single beam of holy light.
No way would a person... no, an angel like that twist God's words.
Naturally, the viewers collectively blue-screened.
"I'm sure this is pretty confusing for everyone... Honestly, it is for me too. But still... please support them kindly. These girls worked really hard for their debut."
-Whoa...
-What the hell is even happening right now;;
-What's the Vatican saying?
"Oh, the Vatican... They've humbly accepted it as Father's will."
-lmao
-So now idol songs are gonna echo through the Vatican someday?
"Well, if that's what Father wants? Oh, but they will perform hymns at the Vatican from time to time. They double as a choir, after all... So if you see them at a cathedral or something, give them a warm welcome."
-But why'd you acquire RuneL?
"Honestly? RuneL's finances were a total mess. Is it okay to say that? Well... they're back on track now, so it's fine."
-Is this company really okay;;
-Fr real lmao;; Feels like it's being run on a shoestring.
"The executives handle the company operations. I'm just following Father's orders—basically a figurehead president. But we've got competent people in management, so the company's running smoothly. These girls don't need a long training period anyway, so we can keep pumping out tracks."
-But aren't you a Seraphim? Why is a Seraphim doing idols???
"Because there are no angels under me!"
As she said that, Han-gyeol lightly tapped the desk.
But even that...
Thud!
Something broke with a crunch. Seo-hyun narrowed her eyes and looked at Han-gyeol.
"...Excuse me."
"Oh, sorry... Anyway, me sitting in this undeserved position is all because of a manpower shortage! That's all the angels we've got—me and these five!"
????
-What about the other angels?
"Other angels? There are none. It's just me and them."
The chat exploded at Han-gyeol's sudden nuke of a revelation.
"So yeah, it's hell in every way. I don't know why there's so much to do. I thought after stabilizing the Middle East and unifying the religions under Father, I could finally take a break? Nope—suddenly, He tells me to make an idol group!"
-This is hilarious but I can't laugh;
-Laughing might get me smited or something?
"Oh, you can laugh. Father's full of love and mercy—He just chuckles even when I rebel a bit."
-Smooth...
-Oh lmao
-lmao no, I thought it'd be all strict and solemn but this is funny
-Daughter. Even so, that's a bit...
"No, Father, stay quiet. Whose fault is all this suffering...?"
-? Are you talking to the Lord live right now?
"Yeah. As a Seraphim, I'm kinda like His direct secretary. Oh, hold on. Is that why I'm suffering like this...?"
-WHAT;;
-Is this really okay?
-But God seems kinda... chill?
"That's what makes it great. Modern people don't approach solemn, heavy religions easily. Faith has to come from the heart. That's what Father wants too, so it's fine. Oh, just don't go too blasphemous."
-Then can we say stuff like "Come here heh heh" to the angels?
"...Do that to them, not me."
"Ah, no, President..."
-lmaoooooooo
{Anonymous donor has sent 100,000 won!}
But tbh the Seraphim is hotter than the Ark Angels? Heh heh come here!
"Who are you? Come out."
-Gasp
-WHAT
-oooooh
"Joking. Go ahead... We don't punish for stuff like that. Just keep it moderate, okay?"
-What about to the Ark Angels tho?
"Oh, go wild on them. That's why they're idols in the first place."
"...President. Even so, you can't just openly encourage sexual harassment of your own agency's idols."
"That's not even sexual harassment. If you see real harassment... well, prepare yourselves. Measure your angles carefully, folks. The eyes of RuneL are watching."
-Gasp
-EVERYONE OPEN NOTEPAD!
"Good attitude. Let's never forget to activate Notepad."
-lmao but has the angel watched a ton of trashy stuff?
"Oh... One of my friends is a big trashy content fan."
-Fr?
-Who's that?
"That's a secret. I wasn't even planning to show my face, but weird rumors kept spreading, so I made an appearance. Anyway, please support Ark Angels—they'll work hard."
-Oh... But you're not ending it here, right?
-???
"...? Do I have more to do?"
-Woo, show us something!
And so on—the chat kept flooding.
Like a spark to dry tinder, people started spamming the chat like crazy.
The channel, already bursting at the seams from the Ark Angels announcement, now had endless viewers pouring in, making the chat unreadable.
Sing a song.
Dance.
Play a game, anything...
It was all because they'd realized Han-gyeol wouldn't smite them as long as they didn't cross the line.
But that was Han-gyeol's karma.
She was the one who'd unleashed these dopamine-hungry vulture viewers.
"Hey, girls...?"
Han-gyeol glanced at Ark Angels, but they looked away.
'...I'll deal with them later.'
Her only escape route was gone.
She looked around for backup, but who would there be?
Seo-hyun and Tae-hwa were watching her with gleaming, amused eyes.
Taking it even further...
"Woo, show us something quick, angel!"
"Excuse me...?"
They'd pulled out light sticks from who-knows-where.
Of course, Ark Angels were doing the same. As if Seo-hyun had handed them out, they waved the sticks enthusiastically.
"We secretly saw you practicing our dances, President? You were good—do it now!"
"...You guys are dead later."
"Eek...!"
"It's okay, it's fine. I'll protect you, so just a bit more!"
Seo-hyun stepped in. Her reason? Simple.
It was fun.
Han-gyeol dancing idol moves in front of all these viewers?
No way she could resist. Blackmail material secured.
She'd already preserved Han Tae-hoon in rice; now it was time to preserve Yoo Han-gyeol as everyone's idol.
"Oh, and I think it'd be great if Ark Angels went six-member...!"
Tae-hwa timidly chimed in.
Checkmate. Han-gyeol realized she had no escape.
Why had she unleashed these dopamine fiends?
Just five minutes ago, she wanted to bite her tongue over her own words.
No—she could hold out and refuse. The madness would die down.
That was the plan.
But unfortunately...
-Not dancing? Come on, let me see my daughter show off a bit.
She still had one more enemy.
One she could never beat.
Realizing that, Han-gyeol despaired.
Ah, Yoon Seo-hyun, that jerk's definitely recording this for blackmail.
That thought hit first—after all, Han Tae-hoon was already a victim.
"This damn..."
A curse slipped out.
-?
-Sudden damn?
"Oh, that's because our President gets filtered if she curses normally. Father blocked it completely. Same for us."
Ark Angels' leader Michaela added the explanation.
-Oh, filtering?
"Yeah, filtering. It's hilarious in meetings sometimes. 'Damn' just pops out randomly."
"Damn it..."
"Like that."
-lmaoooooooo
-Nooo my angelic illusions are shattering...
"But aren't we cute? We'll be around here and there, so show us lots of love~"
Seeing the end in sight, Han-gyeol sighed inwardly in relief...
"Oh, President, looking relieved? Nah, this ain't over. You have to dance."
"Ugh, damn..."
"Why not just go six members? With you, the sex appeal only goes up, not down."
"Michaela."
"Yes?"
"You're so dead."
Michaela flinched at the genuine killing intent...
"Oh, don't worry. Stick by me, and I'll protect you."
"R-Really, Director?"
"Of course. Preserving a Seraphim's black history... It's sweet as honey."
-Director is just thrilled lmao she's all about the blackmail
-Last time it was her friend's black history, now Seraphim's lmao
-This stream is addictive af? The mutants' banter alone is gold lol you can't see this anywhere else
"Right? Right. You can't see this anywhere else. Planning to interview overseas mutants later too—hope you enjoy that. Now... time to dance, Seraphim?"
Seo-hyun said that and played Ark Angels' debut track.
Han-gyeol grimaced in embarrassment, but she had no choice.
She danced obediently.
Even that reaction was pure dopamine for the viewers.
-Heh heh...
Not weird at all.
-But damn, she dances really well...?
-Just debut already?
Ark Angels had blown up partly because their choreography was tough.
Moves that made you wonder, "How do you even do that?"
Yet...
Han-gyeol nailed every single one perfectly.
Everyone watching thought the same thing.
'Ah, she must've practiced by watching the girls...'
Yeah.
