[Miro Dancing with a Sword?]  

(Live screenshot of someone getting banned)  

– I got banned too ᄉᄇ  

– ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ  

– Good job  

– Not gonna catch Miro’s stream today? ᄏᄏ  

[Fk, got banned]**  

(Chat history)  

– I was just cussing as usual, why’d I get banned?  

– Damn, this guy’s still alive, amazing  

– The average for the people who just got banned ᄏᄏ  

– Wait, it was a kick, not a ban?  

– Nah, Miro doesn’t usually ban, just kicks ᄏᄏ  

[What do we watch now?]  

(Ban history)  

– Only Miro’s streams are worth watching, and now I got kicked  

– What should I even watch now? ᄏᄏ  

– You’re just a dumbass, that’s why you got banned  

– Miro actually let some people off easy, lol  

[Sword Dance Was Hilarious ᄌᄂ]  

– Seems like Miro just kicks anyone for fun, how come no one feels wronged?  

– ᄅᄋᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ  

– It’s a joke, honestly ᄏᄏ  

– Now I get why he pulled out the sword ᄏ  

[This is what a stream should be]  

– Others are boring, if it was fun, upvote ᄏᄏ  

– Sneaky admiration ᄏᄏᄏᄏ  

– Hmm…  

– Is this guy an anti-Miro?  

– Upvote ᄏ  

[Why is Miro Dancing with a Sword Now?]  

(A gif of a Japanese samurai swinging his sword)  

– Went to Japan, saw this, how could you not get hyped?  

– Wow, so cool ᄉᄇ ᄏᄏ  

– But seriously, what was Miro even doing?  

– Went with his parents, but hung out with a friend after  

– Is he a guy?  

– ᄆᄅ Probably a girl  

– Nope, it’s her boyfriend ᄏᄏ  

– The sword swing is so cool  

[Seems like Miro met the Japanese friend he was talking about]  

– Watching the stream, now she’s telling a story about meeting a friend over the weekend ᄋᄋ  

– -20?  

– Nah, Miro doesn’t usually do that, but he says he met a friend  

– Don’t lie ᄏᄏ ᄌᄂ You’re famous, why would you meet Miro?  

– Doesn’t Miro like him? ᄌᄂ  

– Seems like it ᄋᄋ  

– Did you watch Japanese Vtuber streams too? Ugh, seriously ᄏᄏ  

– Are you mocking? ᄏᄏ  

– Same type of people ᄏᄏ  

[The friend who played with Tenshi is Miro?]  

– So the one who tripped while running to the convenience store to buy an umbrella is Miro? ᄏᄏ It’s funny just imagining it  

– Is that them?  

– Nahh, ᄋᄋ ᄏᄏ  

– Are you serious?  

– Anyway, why doesn’t Miro tell stories? It doesn’t seem like she’s hiding anything  

– Because she’s only got embarrassing memories, ᄏᄏᄏᄏ  

– Don’t you know Miro is a pro at leaving out anything that makes him look bad?  

[Why doesn’t Miro say how the Japanese Vtuber looks?]  

– At this point, if you’re really curious, just upvote ᄏᄏ  

– How is there not even a single clue??  

– I’d look it up if I knew the name  

– Ugh, what’s the point of expecting anything from a Vtuber ᄏᄏ  

– Just let it go, a dumb girl, just live your life not knowing ᄏᄏ  

– Yeah, she’s just on a crazy blue pill, ᄋᄋ  

– That’s your opinion  

– Isn’t Miro the only one with no clues in the top-tier streams?  

– Miro’s totally absent, Roa is ambiguous  

– Isn’t it really a gray area for a day?  

– The only ones really getting roasted are Anna and Mai  

– F**k, just imagine if she’s ugly ᄏᄏ  

– What would you even do then? ᄏᄏ  

– Couch-bound nerd ᄏᄏ  

[So who’s higher up, Miro or Roa?]  

(Miro cooking stream showing upper-body cam)  

(Musical actress Anna in the blue pill look)  

– 21-year-old Tangle Miro is on top, upvote vs the 20-something Anna looking like trash, downvote ᄏᄏ  

– Obviously Miro ᄏᄏ  

– That annoying girl, though…  

– F**k, if it wasn’t for Anna, she’d be top 10% ᄏᄏ  

– If Miro was her age, she’d be top 1%…  

– You little sh*t  

– Anna’s pretty too, but look at these idiots bashing her  

– Tangle Miro’s f**king perfect ᄏᄏ I’ll screenshot and send it to TheSix, have fun  

– If that’s not perfect, what is? ᄏᄏ  

– And the insect mask though ᄊᄇ Is it Kamen Rider?  

– That’s f**king a villain mask, idiot  

– ᄂ ᄅᄋᄏᄏ You nailed it with that crap  

-Those bastards with their surprise worship ᄏᄏ Should I list Anna’s ex-boyfriends?  

– Please don’t do that…  

– You’re the worst ᄏᄏ  

– F**k, the real issue is that Anna didn’t date at her age. Do you think Miro’s still a virgin?  

– Yeah, at 21, the chances of Miro still being a virgin are pretty high~  

– Anna’s still getting dragged in here, what did she ever do to you guys?  

– Her crime is arrogantly trying to become a queen in the upper-tier streams  

– I never tried, f**k!

It had been a while since I returned from Japan.

In the meantime, I’d been running around doing all sorts of things, and before I knew it, the day had arrived.

What day, you ask…?

“Are you nervous?”

“…Yes.”

It was the day of the shoot.

Director and Moon Changsik told me to just relax, but how can you relax when it’s like this?

I’d practiced a lot.

Mostly with Bokshil, who had no idea what was going on, in front of me.

…The kid’s smart enough that once I gave her the right image, the practice went okay.

And every now and then, Moon Changsik would contact me to give me some advice…

To be honest, I was nervous, but I wasn’t worried.

The sweat I’d poured into this wasn’t going to betray me.

…Hopefully.

“Please wait here for a moment.”

Saying that, Moon Changsik left me in the tent and went off somewhere.

He was probably heading to his own shoot.

When I first heard they were building a set in Gangwon-do, I didn’t think much of it… but seeing it in person, it was the real deal.

I had heard they bought a large plot of land and built it here.

Apparently, they were going to use this set for a long time.

Looking around, there were a lot of shell buildings that served no real purpose.

Honestly, they looked like the set buildings at the broadcasting station… but I heard there were scheduling problems over there, and a lot of movement was wasted.

As I sat there quietly, someone entered as the tent flap was lifted.

The toad-like director, who looked more disheveled than the last time I saw him, smiled awkwardly and handed me a paper cup filled with instant coffee.

“Ah, thank you.”

“It’s cold, right? The heating doesn’t work too well here.”

“Haha… It’s fine.”

It was cold because it was Gangwon-do, but not so cold that I’d really call it freezing.

“So, how’s the atmosphere here? Is it okay?”

“Ah, the atmosphere? Well… I’m not really sure.”

It wasn’t particularly bad or good?

Since it was morning, it seemed like everyone was a bit down.

“It’s not easy to get used to, huh?”

“Yeah? Well…”

“Today is both the first and last time, so is there really anything to adjust to?”

“Haha! The first time is always the hardest. When the other actors arrive, I’ll introduce you to them.”

“Eh? Ah, no, it’s fine.”

What would I do with other actors anyway? Besides, I’m basically just a parachute here, right? There’s no need to stir up trouble, and that was the reason for my words. However, the toad-like director shook his head as if saying I shouldn’t think like that.

“Heh, this industry is all about connections. The more people you know, the better. And Changsik, well, he’s someone who can’t even use his network because he’s no fun!”

“Aha…”

But I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that this was my first and last shoot, and that I had no plans to stay in this industry.

As I hesitated, the toad-like director, perhaps misunderstanding, let out a hearty laugh and said,

“You’re worrying too much for no reason! I heard you worked with Woo-hyun? Use his name to get to know people. What good is having connections if you don’t use them? Hahaha!”

“Yes?”

Woo-hyun?

As I searched my memory briefly, I realized it was the name of a composer.

“Ah, you mean the composer?”

The director also knew the composer? Wait, did Moon Changsik tell him I worked with him?

“Didn’t you two work together a while back?”

“Ah, yes…”

Well, it’s true we had a connection…

“We’ve got a bit of history too. When I was a rookie, I got a lot of help from him with sound.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah, we’ve kept in touch since then.”

I see… The composer’s network must be pretty impressive. Even though he spends all his time in the studio, his connections are vast.

“He even let me use one of the songs he worked on. I was so grateful.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I was so surprised to hear that Suhyun sang it! That day, her singing was amazing!”

He wrote a song? I know it’s part of the marketing, but where would they use the song?

“He only gave me the MR track to listen to, so I’ll give it a shot.”

That comment made me realize where the song was going.

“Wait, am I… singing it?”

“Huh? Didn’t you know?”

“Uh… when? No, never mind.”

I could guess now.

It must be the part in my role where I sing.

Probably early on.

That’s when I’m supposed to sing and then go into the scene, right?

“It’s the part where now, just hearing the melody, I can tell exactly where it is, so it’s no big deal…

Ah! They should have told me this in advance!

Of course, I did say I wanted to do whatever I wanted with the rest, but still… suddenly a live shoot at the set.

The pressure is overwhelming.

‘Well then, I’ll go back now.’

After that, once the director, Mr. Gyeong, left, I waited alone in the tent.

Well, there was nothing to do outside.

I thought it was better to stay here by myself rather than get in the way of people moving around, so I spent my time looking over the script.

Then, when the time came, I stood up and left the tent.

But.

‘Oh.’

‘Hm?’

As soon as I stepped outside, I ran into someone right in front of me.

A little shorter than me, with brown wavy hair.

And her delicate features immediately told me that she was someone with a different appearance from an average person.

I had a feeling she was an actress, and at the same time, I remembered something that Mr. Moon Changsik had said earlier.

‘Just make sure to greet the important people properly.’

Just as he advised to greet the higher-ups well on the set, I immediately gave her a strong greeting.

‘Hello!’

‘Eh?! Oh… Yes….’

Huh, is she a more timid person than I thought?

Her voice was almost hard to hear, making it difficult to tell whether she was an actress.

As I raised my head, the woman, looking a little flustered, hesitated before greeting me again.

‘Ah, hello….’

After that, there was an awkward moment between us as we stood facing each other.

Does she have something to say to me?

After greeting me, the woman hesitated in front of me, and as I wondered if she had something on her mind, she briefly glanced around and pointed towards the back tent.

‘Um… Is this not Changsik Sunbae’s waiting room…?’

‘Yes? Oh, yes.’

Since I didn’t have a specific waiting room assigned, and had to wait outside, Mr. Moon Changsik had temporarily lent me his. He said he was busy with the shoot.

‘But, why are you…’

Is she someone who needs to see Mr. Moon Changsik? She mentioned him as ‘Sunbae,’ so she seems to be an actress too.

‘Changsik left a while ago. He’s probably over there. He said he was busy with shooting.’

So, I told her where Mr. Moon Changsik might be, but the woman in front of me opened her mouth wide in surprise.

‘Chang, Changsik…’

“And seeing that, I realized my words might sound a little strange.

Am I making some kind of misunderstanding here?

I can’t exactly call her ‘Sunbae,’ and calling her ‘Oppa’ feels off too.

The only other options are ‘Master’ or ‘Changsik,’ but I chose the most normal-sounding one.

‘Ah, um…’

Just as I was about to say something to clear up any possible misunderstandings,

‘Kang Hana! What are you doing here? We need to start the shoot!’

A woman, who looked like a manager with glasses, ran up from the side.

‘No, it’s just… well…’

‘We’re supposed to go right now! Let’s go!’

And just like that, Kang Hana was dragged off to start filming without me having a chance to clear up any misunderstandings.

Well… if we’re on the same set, I’ll probably see her again.

Otherwise, I can always ask Moon Changsik to clear it up.

But Hana?

Since I don’t know much about actors, I wondered if she’s a famous one, so I went back into the tent and quickly searched for her on my phone.

Kang Hana… Oh, she comes up right away.

Her name comes up with a profile picture. She must be a famous actress.

I went through her profile carefully…

Hmm… hmm…

Which direction did she go?

I think I really need to clear this misunderstanding quickly.”
