I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 41

Tonight.

Lilith posted two photos on her Twitter.

They were pictures of the lunch and dinner she had with Lulu.

Of course, fans already knew that the two were temporarily living together.

So, the fact that they had meals together wasn’t particularly surprising.

However, when it was revealed that the meals were homemade by Lulu, the community went wild again.

(Photos of lunch and dinner made by Lulu, posted by Lilith on Twitter)

It’s out, so here you go, you idiots lol

Lilith, you should pay for your activities.

I’m so damn jealous, seriously.

────────────────────────────

• Other members are jealous too lol
  • Yukiko got so mad she said she’s going to Lilith’s house too lol
    • How can anyone resist Lulu-chan’s homemade food lol
      • Even Erin was super jealous, so Lulu << she’s basically Blue LUV’s mascot, yeah
• Lulu-chan really seems like the embodiment of loveliness… I’ve never seen Lilith act so cute and flustered before lol
  • For real, she’s usually so indifferent even when she sees cute dog or cat pics online
    • ???: “Oh, yeah… cute. Thanks for the good pic~”
      • LMAO, the voice support is real lol
        • She says thanks but sounds so soulless, it’s hilarious lol
• And when Lilith said she’d do the dishes, Lulu-chan’s comment was so touching
  • What did she say?
    • She said she’d do them while watching Lilith’s stream, so it wouldn’t be hard at all
      • Damn, she’s a flirting master
        • At this point, she’s not an Axolotl, she’s a nine-tailed fox
          • Keep rubbing it in until the polar bears go extinct
• Lilith, you jerk! Don’t hog it all for yourself, share some with us!!!!!!
  • To the angry fans, we offer Lucretia-chan’s homemade food~
    • It’s poison cooking, damn it…
      • How can you trust someone who puts dish soap in the rice water? lol
• But seriously, you can tell she’s so kind… It sounds like she grew up in a tough environment, but how does she turn out like this?
  • It’s amazing…
    • She loves giving but struggles to receive… That makes it even more touching
      • I hope she’s happy
• Meanwhile, Lulu-chan’s taste in food is on point lol
  • For real, just looking at it makes me want to eat two bowls of rice
    • Lunch was stir-fried pork, and dinner was mackerel kimchi stew… She’s a cheat code lol
      • Lilith was shocked that only her favorite foods came out lol
        • Mom! Why is our house serving bean sprout side dishes!!!!

In fact, when the two first announced they’d be living together, public opinion was quite different.

Most of the comments praised and thanked Lilith for offering to live together despite the inconvenience, even though she lived alone.

But starting today, public opinion flipped like the palm of a hand.

Comments like, “She’s getting Lulu’s homemade food just by giving up a room? What a steal,” or “Lilith should pay Lulu for living together,” started pouring in.

Of course, it was mostly in jest, but there was a lot of jealousy toward Lilith.

Meanwhile, Lilith—no, Chae-yoon—who was at the center of this public opinion…

[Blue LUV Yuna] – Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating? Why are you the only one eating?

[Blue LUV Ra-hee] – Was that your plan all along when you took Da-jeong in?

[Blue LUV Jia] – Unnie, I want to eat Da-jeong’s food too…

“Hehehe…”

Chae-yoon smiled victoriously as she looked at the group chat filled with angry members.

[Me] – Yeah, the youngest is mine~ If you’re jealous, go live alone~

Not stopping there, she added a clean provocation before quickly closing her phone.

She leaned back in her chair, patting her full stomach.

For someone who rarely felt emotions like “cute” or “lovable” toward others, this feeling was incredibly mysterious and precious to her.

＊＊＊＊＊

Chae-yoon’s average streaming time is the longest among the Blue LUV members.

While most members stream for around 5-6 hours, she regularly streams for 10 hours.

Her natural stamina makes this possible.

“Kyaaaah! Platinum!!!!!”

And this naturally translates to more gameplay time.

Today, she finally achieved the long-awaited Platinum rank and let out a cheer.

As the light blue emblem appeared before her eyes, she couldn’t contain her joy.

• Congrats congrats
• Kyaaaaaa
• She actually did it lol
• Who am I? The official gaming expert of Blue LUV, Lilith’s fan

[Reach Platinum before 12 AM]

[Success! Reward: 300,000 won]

“Ah, thank you for the 300,000 won mission reward! See, guys? I told you I could do it.”

A whopping 300,000 won mission reward.

Chae-yoon, who had successfully claimed it, was grinning from ear to ear.

The viewer who set the mission probably thought she wouldn’t make it.

After all, she had lost four matches in a row in a situation where she needed six consecutive wins.

It was practically impossible to reach Platinum today.

‘But no way!’

She proved that overwhelming skill renders such bad luck meaningless.

Her pride swelled, and her shoulders seemed to reach the sky.

This was nothing short of a miraculous scene where she achieved both honor and profit.

“Ah, today was fun. Thanks to your support, I reached Platinum. Thank you, everyone.”

• Kya
• She’s giving credit to the Black Moon lol
• Big Lilith
• She’s really something (won’t say what)
• She’s the embodiment of competitiveness, for real

As she wrapped up the stream and chatted with the viewers, a donation with a voice message came through.

[‘Black Moon Underling’ donated 1,000 won.]

• What are you doing tomorrow?

“Tomorrow? Hmm, I haven’t decided yet. I thought I wouldn’t reach Platinum today, so I was planning to grind tomorrow too.”

• Trying to milk the stream
• This might be controversial
• How about Diamond? Let’s go

“No, Diamond might be a bit too much. Reaching Platinum was possible because I didn’t have much left, but…”

Besides, playing the same game for two days straight isn’t ideal.

It’s not like she’s in a position to say that, since she was planning to grind the same game tomorrow if she hadn’t reached Platinum.

But viewers are consumers who want new entertainment.

[‘Passing Cherry’ donated 1,000 won.]

• How about a collab stream with Lulu-chan?

“A collab with Lulu-chan? Oh, right, Lulu-chan’s computer is arriving tomorrow.”

While she was pondering, a suggestion from a viewer who seemed to be a fan of Da-jeong made Lilith’s eyes light up.

A collab with Da-jeong.

That’s not a bad idea at all.

She had already confirmed with Da-jeong that she could start streaming tomorrow, and they were living together, which was a perfect excuse.

Whether it would be an offline or online collab remained to be seen, but it was definitely a good idea.

• Oh
• Nice
• Isn’t this the first Blue LUV duo collab?
• Get CEO Kang’s approval and go for it

“Right, I should ask the CEO. I can’t just do collabs on my own.”

First, she needed to ask Da-jeong herself.

Even if Kang Ha-neul approved, it would be meaningless if Da-jeong wasn’t comfortable with it.

With that in mind, Chae-yoon decided to visit Da-jeong’s room right after ending the stream.

“I’ll end the stream and ask Lulu-chan right away. If I get the CEO’s approval, I’ll make an announcement.”

• Is it a big deal?
• Please please please please
• I’m really curious about the chemistry between Lulu-chan and Lilith lol
• I can’t predict the chemistry… hmm

Of course, there were some who were skeptical about this idea.

While it’s true that Da-jeong is the youngest member of Blue LUV and receives a lot of attention from the other members, Chae-yoon has rarely shown much interest in her.

She’s shared some stories about being in the same group, but that’s about it.

So, while some were excited about the unexpected chemistry between the two, others were worried about how the cute and delicate Lulu would mesh with the tough and tomboyish Lilith.

“Anyway, I’ll head out now! Good night, everyone!”

• Bye
• Bye bye
• See you tomorrow

But that was just the opinion of those who hadn’t seen the collab yet.

Chae-yoon confidently ended her stream and quickly left her room.

Her destination was, of course, Da-jeong’s room across the hall.

Knock knock-

“Da-jeong, are you awake?”

• Yes, unnie. You can come in.

“Okay.”

It was quite late, so she knocked just in case, but fortunately, Da-jeong was still awake.

Relieved, Chae-yoon turned the doorknob and stepped inside…

“D-Da-jeong?!”

“Huh?”

When she saw Da-jeong lying face down on the bed, Chae-yoon hurriedly covered her eyes.

It was understandable, as Da-jeong’s outfit was quite… risky.

“W-why aren’t you wearing clothes…?!”

“I am wearing clothes. I’m just not wearing pants.”

“That’s not what I meant…!”

It was true.

Da-jeong was wearing an oversized white T-shirt on top and a pair of pink underwear on the bottom.

The problem was that her shirt had ridden up due to her position, revealing most of her lower body.

It was a very dangerous sight.

‘Is this weird?’

Meanwhile, Da-jeong was just confused by Chae-yoon’s reaction.

She always dressed like this at home.

Besides, from what she’d learned online, people of the same gender don’t usually mind being a little undressed around each other at home.

So she thought it would be fine, but it seemed she had misunderstood something.

“S-sorry. I’ve never lived with anyone before… I heard that girls can be comfortable like this at home, so…”

“Ah…”

As Da-jeong apologized and quickly put on her pants, Chae-yoon sighed, realizing her mistake.

She didn’t know the details of Da-jeong’s family situation, but Kang Ha-neul had mentioned that Da-jeong lost her parents at a very young age.

If that was the case, she must have lived alone for a long time, so it was natural that she wouldn’t have much awareness about how to dress at home.

‘I didn’t think of that.’

Realizing she had unintentionally hurt Da-jeong, Chae-yoon mentally scolded herself and frowned.

“N-no, it’s fine. You can be comfortable. I was just surprised. Girls usually dress like that at home.”

“Really…?”

“Of course. So wear whatever makes you comfortable.”

Nod-

As Da-jeong timidly put her pants back down, Chae-yoon sighed in relief.

“Ah, actually, I came here because I wanted to ask you something…”

“Yes, I’ll do it.”

“No, at least hear me out first.”

“Oh, okay.”

Da-jeong nodded with such innocent eyes that Chae-yoon couldn’t help but wave her hands in exasperation.

After clearing her throat, she began to speak.

“Some viewers suggested we do a collab stream tomorrow. What do you think?”

“A collab?”

“Yeah, we can either stream together on one computer or do an online collab from our own rooms.”

“I’m fine with it, but… won’t I just be a burden on your stream?”

The offer itself was very kind, but Da-jeong was a little scared.

She didn’t think she had any natural talent for streaming or quick wit, so she was worried she might be a nuisance to the other members during collabs.

Even if she could blend in during group collabs like last time, a duo collab could easily fall flat if one person wasn’t entertaining.

“I don’t think that at all. I’ve watched your streams, and I think they’re really fun. So I’m asking you to help me out tomorrow.”

Chae-yoon deliberately lowered herself to boost Da-jeong’s confidence.

At the same time, she used Da-jeong’s desire to be helpful to the other members.

It didn’t feel great to manipulate such an innocent kid, but she hoped this collab would have a positive impact on Da-jeong.

“If that’s the case… okay, I’ll do it.”

“Oh, really? You won’t back out tomorrow, right?”

“Hehe, don’t worry. I keep my promises.”

True.

Da-jeong had never broken a promise she made.

Unless a natural disaster struck.

Knowing this, Chae-yoon smiled and nodded, feeling reassured.

The collab, which was surprisingly easy to arrange, already had her feeling excited.

Of course, she still needed to get permission from Kang Ha-neul, but she had no doubt she’d give the okay.

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Good… huh?”

Just as she turned to leave the room, she noticed something rolling on the floor by her right foot.

A piece of pink fabric.

It looked strangely similar to something she had seen earlier.

In fact, its shape was very similar to a certain item she was familiar with.

“Ah…! S-sorry. I hung it on the hanger, but it must have fallen.”

“…….”

As she silently picked it up, Da-jeong quickly snatched it away.

Chae-yoon stared at her for a moment, then asked hesitantly.

“…Da-jeong, are you not wearing anything under your T-shirt?”

“No. It’s too stuffy, so I always take it off at home.”

Thud-

At the utterly innocent answer, Chae-yoon silently covered her face with her hand.

For some reason, she felt like she shouldn’t look at Da-jeong right now.
