"Yawn."
The next morning.
After coming home last night and falling asleep during a massage from Haesung.
Hayun had woken up around 11 p.m., hurriedly posted a notice, and gone back to sleep. Now she stretched with a big yawn and got out of bed.
Scratching her belly in her pajamas, she headed to the bathroom, splashed cold water on her face, and finished brushing her teeth.
"I wonder what kind of chaos happened today."
Humming a tune without realizing it, Hayun felt an odd sense of déjà vu, but she soon checked her phone.
"…Gah! What the hell is this!"
That's when she realized the déjà vu was just like the day after she'd streamed with her brother, when Elbow had mentioned Haesung.
[Oh, right, I forgot to mention something.]
It was a perfectly normal title.
It was the title of the notice she'd posted last night before crashing again.
But there was something weird about that perfectly normal notice.
[Views: 112,432]
[Comments: 30,291]
"…Real viewbot? No, I've never even heard of a viewbot that leaves comments. Hell, who's insane enough to run bots on a random notice post!"
It was the view and comment counts.
Views were over 100k, and comments were about a third of that—still insane considering the views.
No, given how comments usually lag way behind views, even 3,000 would've been a lot.
Gulp.
"Better see what's up."
Worried her post might've gotten flagged everywhere, Hayun quickly scrolled through the comments. Her eyes went wide.
-Pilgrimage to the holy site
-Let me get perfect SAT score plz
-Make me win lotto 1st prize plz
"…No hate?"
The recent comments were all stuff like "pilgrimage to the holy site," no hate at all.
But that thought didn't last.
~Yeah~ Gonna get wrecked by Comet and Elbow and cry like a baby~
-Fr~ Won't even hit True: Purple before getting smashed by Elbow, just flailing in Gold tier? Upvote~
-Me first~
-OLd Elbow's out, Comet shoots in like a meteor~
-OLd! Geez! OLd! Geez!
"…It was total chaos at dawn, huh."
The second she saw Elbow fans and Comet fans tangled up, ripping into each other like mad.
Hayun gave up on hoping for a clean comment section and scrolled up slowly to piece it together.
"First off, my post definitely spread everywhere."
Comments like "From Rurine~" and "Saw it on Inventory and came~" caught her eye.
Proof it had gone viral on communities.
But it was weird seeing Haesung's fans—who barely existed compared to Elbow's—going toe-to-toe with them.
Of course—
-Didn't even watch the clips before commenting?
-Fr Mint even blasts Palm Wind, Comet's the new #1 Gold, idiots
-Ram your heads in! Comet's conquering AFK from now on!
"Ah, my VOD's still up."
The reason came quick.
Haesung's stream got banned, VOD and all gone, but Hayun's relay stream of it was still there.
Clippers had spread his fight scenes everywhere, hyping his greatness.
Viewers who saw became fans, clashing with Elbow fans.
"What the hell happened in one day…."
The noise had netted him uncountable fans overnight, but antis too.
Noise marketing wasn't a thing for nothing—if you turn antis to fans, jackpot. Fail, and the stream tanks.
"What if Oppa gets overwhelmed?"
She couldn't ignore the risk of Haesung stressing over the sudden fans and antis, failing to adapt.
Of course—
"Oppa'll handle it."
Hayun thought it over and was sure Haesung wouldn't buckle over some viewer spike.
The guy who bro'd out with Elbow—steady tens of thousands viewers—from the jump? No way.
"Still, better tell him."
Knowing and dealing vs. blind—big difference. Hayun headed to Haesung's room.
* * *
"Hmm, a good-and-bad opportunity, huh."
"We expected something like this. Just the scale's bigger than thought."
"Yeah."
Having heard everything, Haesung stroked his chin and nodded.
The notice was stuff that needed saying anyway. The backlash was huge, but not unexpected.
He sorted his thoughts quick and looked at Hayun.
"Thanks for telling me. I got this now."
"…I gotta stream again today. Tomorrow too. You sure you're good?"
"Can't have you glued to me every day, right? Gotta go solo sometime. Sooner the better."
"Phew, fine. Good luck then. Ban lifts tomorrow, stream at 8 p.m."
"Got it."
Click.
After Hayun left.
Alone, Haesung cracked a small smile.
"This'll be fun."
The stage had grown.
Already juggling over a thousand viewers and missions to maintain— this uproar was pure gain.
Weaklings might shrink from the spotlight, but—
"Reminds me of the old days. Nice."
Not Haesung.
Back then.
Rejected as an otherworlder, proving himself countless times—he'd bulldozed through.
A few thousand eyes? Child's play.
"Might as well prep."
Hayun had set everything up, but fiddling with the app, Haesung pictured the black waiting screen.
"Hmm, plain black's too drab… Maybe slap up a selfie."
Epic nature pic? Nah. He snapped a quick selfie, set it as waiting screen, shut down the PC.
Glanced at the pic—his stoic face staring at the camera.
Hoo—ha—hoo—
Haesung started light push-ups.
Peaceful world, no need to train, body always peak—but exercise was routine now.
His low, steady breaths filled the quiet room.
* * *
"Aaah~ That's hot! New hot!"
Next day.
After yesterday's stream turned into unintended lifetime Q&A, Mint kicked off today's with her bright, upbeat voice.
-Ah lol my ears
-Teacher, I can't hear
-[Ear-bleeding emoji]
Used to the eardrum assault, fans spammed lol and emojis.
But soon.
[Comet Comeback Commemoration donated 10,000 won!]
Back today, right?
"Thanks for the 10k from Comet Comeback Commemoration. Yep, Oppa's back today. Two hours from now."
Comet comeback day—fans waiting in Mint's stream started donations and chat exploded.
[How many viewers u predict? donated 10,000 won]
Start at 100? 200?
-Fans blew up these past days
-Half antis tho
-Having antis from day one matters
-Fr antis are fans too for a reason
[Pls stop donated 10,000 won]
Don't make it Q&A again!!! Stop!!!
Worried about yesterday repeat, Mint nodded at the dons.
"No other streamers! Manager, ban anyone mentioning others from now!"
-ㄷㄷㄷ Oppa's other streamer too
-He is
-Good cut tho. Answering all like yesterday kills the stream
-Yeah mazm
Banning even bro Haesung as "other," Mint eyed the quiet chat and started her stream.
Not Iron Fist to avoid overlap with Haesung—calm outside, but tense as hell.
'He'll do great, right?'
Trusted his solo claim, but worry leaked as she queued.
"Today, Survive in Battle Base!"
-Ah lol you're already dead
-Battle Base? Rename needed;;
-Fr Cemetery fits better
Long-time FPS, one of the big four: Battle Royale - Agent.
Short: Battle Royale. Mint's pick today.
While she blasted away, Haesung's stream time neared.
* * *
Stream went live.
Second time seeing the red light, days ago but Haesung felt his heart race oddly.
'Like dropping into the otherworld first time.'
Ancient memory, but the tension lingered.
But he was a whole different beast now—shook it off easy.
[Viewers: 1]
[Viewers: 5]
[Viewers: 13]
Viewers trickled in post-start, building.
Haesung stayed mic-off, quiet.
-Koha!
-Wow, waiting screen what;;
-Streamer face… feels distant suddenly
New waiting screen wowed them all.
Casual selfie, but original quality rule held.
Even haters paused typing, stunned. Chat hushed.
Of course—
-Face carry, half-assing game!
-Hasn't played yet?
-Log AFK quick, we'll smash ya
-Fr my nephew'd do better
Antis there to hate shifted from face to venom chats.
As spite piled, old fans, Mint crossovers, new converts frowned, about to clap back.
"Tha. Long time no see, everyone."
-Kohakoha!
-Koha!
-How many days ㅠㅠ
-Missed ya Jooenjang!!!
Perfect timing, cam on—Haesung's faint smile greeting.
Shock at sudden cam short-lived.
Fans welcomed explosive chat.
Anti spam buried in seconds.
Haesung glanced at viewer count.
"Seems everyone's here, so reaction first before we start."
[Viewers: 212]
212.
A lot.
Start was dozens max.
Mint boost got there once—now minutes in.
Still climbing—personal record sure.
-What missed reaction?
-Zero-two maybe?
-Ah lol can't resist Comet zero-two~
Newbies who missed debut hyped trending reactions.
-At best just thx lol
-Fr male cam all same
-Just game already ㅡㅡ
Haters there for skills or salt typed curt.
-lollll newbie stink too strong!
-Watch the damn stream newbies!
-Our CometCometComet ain't basic reactions!
-Hey! Trica noobs don't get code drips!
OGs from debut watched chill.
Remembered grand-jete reaction debut—knew haters'd shut up jaw-dropped soon.
But one thing even they didn't know.
"Ban delayed reaction, so two back-to-back triple somersaults."
-?
-Gon die;;
Targets weren't just them—themselves too.
Thus, Haesung announced his comeback to Trica with flashy double triple somersaults.
