I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

022. side effects

The virtual idol group Closer’s showcase was no different from a real public TV show where idols were gathered together.

The direction of future activities and the release schedule of the first album have been officially confirmed.

Viewers sent enthusiastic cheers to the chat.

[Okay then, please look at the camera and pose cutely!]

Taking a pose means that the individual talk time is coming to an end soon.

Humouring’s avatar stretched out its arms and waved.

[Please give Closer a lot of love~ I love you~ Hmmudan!]

Humoring’s fandom nickname is Humudan.

When asked why he was so upset during the interview, Humoring explained that no matter what he did, the viewers always sent [Hmm…].

I could understand why there was a demand for it, and it was cute, but it didn’t seem to be my taste.

Also, my fav is…

[ruler! Only one last member left! Let’s talk with Seonbidol Luca! hello!]

[Yes~ Hello~]

Currently, the number of viewers is about 120,000.

More people were watching the broadcast than during the final audition.

It’s really full of cycles. Luca Land.

In fact, in the broadcasting chat window, not only Korean viewers but also overseas people were able to see a lot of English chatting.

[RUKATANNNGGG~~~]

Still, the person who sent this via chat is probably a foreign cosplayer with a high probability.

I don’t know the chat culture of foreign countries, but I was very suspicious that the nuance of English was Korean for some reason.

[Yeah~ You debuted after receiving a lot of love. How do you feel?]

[ah. sure. After I passed, I didn’t even turn on my personal broadcast that often, but so many viewers came to me…]

[Then, besides the number of viewers, is there anything else that has changed?]

Luca hesitated for a moment.

[The computer has been upgraded to a very high specification.]

[Ah~ I see~]

The presenter laughed as if he hadn’t thought that such an answer would come out.

[Equipment is of course important too. Then, what was the first thing you tried after receiving the new computer?]

[…League of Legends.]

“Puff.”

As I was watching, I burst out laughing.

no. Luca.

I just used it well, and I think I can broadcast high-end games now. I should do it this way.

Luca’s answer was funny, so the chat window also responded well.

[Ah hahahaha I can’t stand that even if I change the computer~]

[hahahahaha]

[Idols who are serious about games…!]

[If that’s the case, Tear…]

[It’s rude to ask about a lady’s private life.]

Luka lowered her head slightly and blushed.

I’ve been watching everything the other members are doing to see this.

The fruit of waiting always gave me a sweet taste.

[Then, if there is another opportunity next time, we will talk about the game there.]

The host also smoothly passed over whether Luca’s reaction was interesting and moved on to the next question.

[Luka-sama had a shorts video that became a hot topic right before her debut!]

As soon as the words were finished, words that were taboo in Luca’s broadcasts poured out like a waterfall.

After all, it’s an official broadcast, so the automatic block function isn’t set.

[Fuck Idol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol! Shibaldol!]

[Oh fuck. hahahaha]

[Just karma lol]

Luca nodded with a face that said something had come.

[How about taking this opportunity today to say something about that clip?]

[Hmm… Hmm…!]

A pink-haired avatar who seems to be nervous and clears her throat.

[Actually, I couldn’t imagine that day would really be the last one…]

[Yes Yes.]

[I was so surprised that I couldn’t filter well. There’s no such thing as aiming for a jackpot, or anything like that, I guess it’s just human instinct.]

I smiled shyly and scratched my head, and the host smiled and accepted the comment.

[Everyone must have sympathized with the honest exclamation! I hope the viewers will just ignore Miss Luka’s mistakes cutely! Then, we look forward to great activities in the future~]

The regular organized corner ended there, followed by a light Q&A session, but I didn’t pay much attention.

I only glanced at them when I heard Luca’s voice, but most of them were simple questions.

He didn’t stop talking, and his answers were clear.

I felt that I had prepared quite well.

Rather, it was Leah and Humouring who were in trouble.

When Leah asked fans about the number of lines she sang, it took more than 3 minutes to select a song, and when Humouring asked if the amount had increased, she had to be booed.

I wanted to go there because I received something and how much.

Well, thinking that Luka passed and received the test, I got tired of it.

How much is the amount I received when I watched the live broadcast?

[Today’s showcase will end here, and group gatherings of closers will be fixed at 8:00 every Saturday, so please show lots of love from viewers! Closure last greetings!]

Jennifer gave signals one by one with her fingers, and the members lowered their heads in unison.

[It was an idol closer! thank you!]

The broadcast ended with a group greeting.

I lay back on the bed and smiled happily.

You coined the phrase “idol next door” well.

In fact, a group called Closer said they wanted to become an idol group that is like a friend right next to them.

The words temperance and refinement seemed distant from them.

Soaked in the afterglow of the showcase, I went under the blanket and tried to play some gacha games…

[A new message has arrived. -Doah Kim]

It’s Luca.

Maybe it was because the afterglow of the streaming a little while ago remained.

I was really nervous as if I was in contact with a celebrity.

Move your thumb to bring up a message window.

[brother. What time will we see you tomorrow?]

That’s right… We were supposed to go to the arcade together tomorrow…

In fact, I didn’t have much to do, so I just wanted to fit into Doa’s schedule.

[Let’s go when you have time. I don’t have anything tomorrow.]

[Then, how about around 3pm? That evening, that VR Jun-seok has to do what his brother asked him to do.]

…You mean you don’t want to stay with me for a long time?

You just send a text saying that it’s going well, and that’s it.

[okay. See you at 3 then. Is there anything I need to bring?]

[ah. If you have a 10,000 won or 5,000 won bill, just bring one.]

[Okay. Then see you at 3:00 in front of the entrance of your building.]

[yes!]

To hear you contact me as soon as the broadcast is almost over.

Still, I was in a better mood because I wondered if I wouldn’t do this to someone I didn’t like.

It’s a rhythm game after all…

I didn’t want to lose shape too much in front of Doa, so I found and opened the basic control guide video for the game I was supposed to play tomorrow.

* * *

The first time I went to an arcade was in my second year of middle school.

I still remember it clearly.

The day after the final exams for the second semester was a very cold winter day.

Blowing out my breath, I stopped by karaoke with my friends, and then a friend coaxed me to go to the arcade.

Looking back, I wonder if it was a good thing that I followed that child back then.

After that day, I started playing rhythm games, so it was good that I found a hobby I liked, but it was not once or twice that I secretly went to the arcade and got a good night’s sleep from my mother.

There were many pleasant memories, but it seemed difficult to say that even the ones that were squeezed were good.

Anyway, even after becoming an adult, the arcade I frequented felt like a second home to me.

The noise of the game sounds unique to the arcade, and the sound of coins pouring out of the coin changer are no longer friendly.

All you have to do is drag a pair of slippers into your sweatpants and tap them excitedly…

“…Is this correct? Kim Do-ah.”

When I saw my reflection in the mirror, my own words flowed out.

Come to think of it, it was.

me. Have you ever worn a skirt to an arcade…?

There seemed to be none except for the school uniform.

Even though there were only 15 minutes left until the appointment time, I still hadn’t picked out my clothes.

Taemin oppa invited me to go out, but I really can’t go out like a beggar.

It was also funny to go dressed up like that.

You’re just going to the arcade.

Who goes to the arcade but goes in full makeup?

It’s only like this that I’m promoting that I still like oppa…

Still, I was like removing all the makeup I had already done and going out bare-faced, so I just looked at Shobu in the direction of wearing a little more casual clothes.

Blue jeans and a gray hoodie.

I folded the skirt again and put it in the chest of drawers.

Now is the time…

[15:03]

madam. is it a bug Why does time go so fast

Feeling impatient, I took my cell phone and wallet, folded my sneakers, and went downstairs. As soon as I found my brother standing in front of the entrance, I had no choice but to raise a question mark above my head.

“…uh?”

Taemin oppa, who found me, had a similar reaction.

“…ah?”

You feel your body temperature rise rapidly.

No… I was just thinking of not coming out as if I cared too much…

Seeing him come out wearing a gray hoodie and jeans made me think maybe it would have been better to just wear a skirt.
