My Favorite Has Started A Live Broadcast!

“……? Landlord?”

“……What the… why are you here…..”

The landlord, scratching her head as she descended the stairs, froze the moment she saw me.

“Uh……”

“Hello, daughter? It’s been a while… haha…”

“Mom….? Why….. are you here…”

“Mom?!”

“Haha….. For now, why don’t we sit here.”

The angel-teacher, who was called “Mom” by the landlord, invited us into the empty room while we were still dumbfounded and seated us in the barren house.

“……..Mom… Why are you here… and who are these people….”

“Do you all know each other?”

“Uh….. She’s the one with that ring… Oh right, why aren’t you calling her by her name.”

“Uh… I was just… too surprised…?”

“Got it, and that’s her younger sibling.”

“Mm~~~~ This is more interesting than I thought! First, let me introduce myself: I’m Eunah’s mom, and I’m also the owner of this building.”

“……..Did you know…?”

“No… I always thought that woman was the owner of the building……”

“That makes sense… I’ve been busy, so I’ve been letting Eunah handle the nearby properties~”

“……So… this place is……”

“Yes, would you like to take a tour?”

Still trying to organize my thoughts, I absentmindedly nodded and started to look around the house.

“……..It’s exactly the same as my sister’s house…?”

“…Yeah….. It’s completely identical…”

The house’s structure was exactly the same as my sister’s. If the furniture and layout were adjusted, even my sister wouldn’t be able to tell. As I wandered around, I listened to the angel-teacher’s explanation.

“So…. how do you like it? Will you move in?”

“Hmm……”

No matter how I thought about it, moving here was the right decision. It’s a safe place, on the second floor, a studio apartment with no issues, and right next to my sister’s place……. But reality is always practical.

“The rent…..”

“Hmm….. 300,000 won per month? Daughter, you didn’t change it, right?”

“How could I possibly change the rent…..”

“…….Oh….”

Rent 300,000 won….. utility bills….. food expenses…. miscellaneous costs……

My mind was spinning.

“Wow…..”

“……..Have you finished thinking?”

“………..Uh… I… need a bit more time…..”

“I’ll knock off 50,000 won each for you and your sister’s rent.”

“I’ll take the contract.”

“Alright….. The contract is done. When do you plan to move in?”

“Hmm…. I’m busy during the weekdays… so probably next week…”

“Really? Then let’s aim for next week….”

“Thank you!”

“Oh, it’s nothing~ This place seems fun, maybe I should move here too…..”

“Mom..”

“Haha…. Just kidding~”

“Sigh……”

Eunah, who had been quietly drinking coffee inside the real estate office, glanced at the angel-teacher, who was now the landlord, but she just gave a casual smile.

“Alright, I’m heading out~ See you later~”

“Take care….”

“Goodbye!”

My sister bowed, and Eunah just waved her hand back and forth.

“Make sure you’re doing well at school, my dear daughter!”

“Mom, stop!”

Eunah tried to argue, but the car had already driven off.

“…..Can you carry all that…?”

“……Maybe..?”

The thought of carrying these heavy side dishes again made my head spin.

“Do you want to leave them at my place…? You’re moving next week anyway.”

“Hmm….. good idea.”

“Well… get home safe~”

“Goodbye! Eunah!”

We said goodbye to Eunah, who was yawning as if she was about to go back to sleep, and my brother and I left.

“…….The sky’s so cloudy….”

As I walked back home with light steps, I looked up at the sky, but it was so overcast that the sun was hidden. Feeling grateful that my body wasn’t aching, I headed back to the house.

“Hmm….. Hello.”

-How long has it been?

-Why don’t you stream anymore?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Open the door, streamer! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!

“Hmm… I’ve been a bit busy lately…… I went down for my youngest sibling’s birthday…. and today, I was moving… sigh…..”

-Are you moving?

-It’s hard to live in a semi-basement after allㅇㅇ

-Where are you moving? Seoul?

“I already live in Seoul….. I’ll be moving to my sister’s villa next week.”

-Sister?

“Yes, we’re a family of three siblings… I think my brother took some pictures… just a moment.”

Rrrrring-

-Hello?

“Uh… hey…..”

“..? Why are you calling me like that?”

“I’m streaming.”

-I know, I’m watching it too.”

“What..?”

-Can’t I?

I couldn’t think of any reason why my sister shouldn’t watch my stream, especially since I wasn’t doing anything weird, but for some reason, it felt embarrassing.

“It’s not that…… could you send me the pictures we took yesterday?”

-Alright, I’ll leave out the weird ones and send them.

“Thanks.”

Click-

After the call ended, I turned back to look at my monitor.

-Wow……. what’s up with this family…

-For realㅋㅋ

-Will your sister make an appearance?

“If you covet my sister, you’re dead meat.”

I lifted my small fist in an exaggeratedly threatening gesture, but apparently, it wasn’t very intimidating, as the chat was filled with nothing but ‘ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.’

KakaoTalk message notification- KakaoTalk message notification-

“They’re here….”

I grabbed the keyboard and mouse, logged into KakaoTalk, and checked the pictures my sister had sent.

“………”

The chat slowed down a bit.

All the pictures my sister sent had me in them—either holding or playing with Seo-ha.

“………Oh….. Uh… Thanks…?”

Anyway, I thanked my sister for sending the pictures. Since she was watching my stream, she probably heard me.

As I browsed through dozens of pictures for a few minutes, I exited the chatroom and saw my friends talking loudly.

Sooyoung: Come to the food stall near my university at 7.

Minho: Dude, how many food stalls are there, you crazy bastard?

Sooyoung: Just find one. Dumbass.

Minho: …….

“Hmm…. It’s…”

It was already past 6.

“Oh my God…. I’ve gotta go!”

-?????????????

-Wait, what, don’t leave!!!

“I’ll stream again if I have time later!!”

I hurriedly turned off the stream, changed my clothes, and pulled my hat down low.

I walked quickly, heading toward the university district where my friend studied.

“Ugh….. Why an hour early…”

Even though I rushed out as soon as I changed, thanks to my stamina, I arrived at the university district by 7:10. Although it was a Sunday, the streets were filled with people walking and drinking.

“……..”

Groups of students in university jackets, couples walking hand-in-hand—it made me think of what my life might have been like if I had gone to college, but I quickly shook off the thought and called.

“Hey, where are you… There’s so many people here.”

-Oh, you’re here? Just walk around. Your hair color stands out, so we’ll find you.

“Yes~ yes~”

-Don’t get picked up by someone and leave us behind.

“…….Shut up.”

Sooyoung POV

“I’ve arrived at the university street.”

“Got it. Ajumma! Two bottles of soju and spicy pork, please!”

“Ah…. damn….”

“What?”

“Next week is the start of classes……”

The thought of going back to that awful university had curses spilling from my mouth.

“What can you do…… Looks like we’ll get hassled again…”

Minho, still playing games on his phone despite coming out for drinks, muttered as he fiddled with his phone.

“Seriously… Why do you come out to drink and still play games?”

“I’ll stop once I’m done.”

“Sigh…..”

As I was idly watching people pass by, I sensed some commotion nearby.

“…..Looks like something’s happening?”

“Seems so. Go check it out.”

I stood up from my seat and walked outside the food stall, where I saw a crowd gathering around something, talking loudly.

“””Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”””

“Excuse me….. I need to get through..!”

I could vaguely imagine what was going on from the situation at the center of the crowd, so I pushed my way through the people to get to the front.

“Please go out with me!!”

“””Wooooooow!!!!”””

As Sooyoung had predicted, a confession was happening in the middle of the crowd. A handsome, ordinary-looking college guy was standing in front of… a silver-haired beauty with cold eyes, who was staring at him.

“……Sorry.”

After a long, frosty look, Su-yeon walked past him and continued walking.

“…Hey, let’s go.”

“Uh.. okay..”

As Su-yeon passed me, she signaled for us to leave. I hurriedly followed her, afraid I might lose her in the crowd.

ㅇㄴ!ㅇㅇㄴ!ㅇㅇㄴ!

Lee Su-yeon POV

“………”

We continued to walk down the street, passing various shops, and I started to feel warm, so I took off my hat and held it in my hand as I walked. I could hear the buzz of people talking and taking photos, but I figured it wasn’t directed at me and kept walking.

“….Hey, over here….!”

In the distance, I spotted Minho, still playing games, and Sooyoung, just sitting at the food stall, so I called out, but someone blocked my path.

-Hey, hey… this guy’s serious, huh..?

-Wow… such a manly move…

-Honestly, that’s hard to resist.

“…….Is there something you need…?”

The guy standing in front of me locked eyes with me. He was decently handsome, but his face was red, likely from drinking. A fleeting thought passed through my mind—could it be—but I quickly dismissed it, trying to stay calm.

“Uh…. Will you…..!!”

Oh no.

“Please go out with me!!!!!”

“……….”

For a moment, it felt like someone had poured cold water over me. The slight buzz I had from drinking earlier vanished.

“That’s not…. Ah… damn…”

The guy ruffled his hair and cursed under his breath, but since he had already shouted, the crowd around us had gathered.

“At least… can I get your number…..”

“No, thank you.”

“Uh….. well…. Please go out with me!!”

Once again, he bowed deeply and extended his hand toward me. The cheers from the crowd were deafening, but I couldn’t really hear them.

Hmm…. How should I turn him down…

“……I’m sorry.”

I bowed slightly and delivered a polite rejection, then walked past him.

“………Hey….. Let’s go.”

Sooyoung, who had also been dragged into the spectacle, was watching from the front, so I pulled him along.

“Sigh……”

As we re-entered the food stall, the warmth began to thaw my chilled body. Minho, who had discreetly put away his phone, welcomed me to a table where there was spicy pork stir-fry, two bottles of soju, and three glasses.

“It’s been a while.”

“Hey~”

“You really live a tough life…..”

As I sat down and greeted them, the only response I got was something that could barely be called a greeting.

“I don’t feel like smoking today, so let’s just drink. Pour it.”

“Okay.”

Minho skillfully poured the soju, filling all three glasses.

“Do you want to make a toast?”

“Uh… sure.”

Even though I’d never led a toast before, I felt like doing it today.

“Hmm….. No matter how much things change, here’s to our friendship!”

And that’s where my memory cut off.
