Title) I couldn’t sleep because I’m so excited for the collab lol

Author: LuLi is the Truth

The Lilith-Lulu combo I’ve been waiting for is finally here lol

To all the fans who were trashing this pairing, make sure to watch today’s stream.

The LuLi combo is going to become legendary.

──────────────────────────

• Excuse me, but where do you invest? I’ll make sure never to buy there.
  • You idiot
    • For real, LuLi is a trash pairing. If it weren’t for the living situation, no one would’ve thought of this collab.
      • Exactly
• I support all other pairings, but Lilith-Lulu is a bit…
  • They have the least interaction lol
    • Lilith, who doesn’t really like cute things, vs. Blue Love’s ultimate cutie? How does that even work?
      • After watching Lilith’s stream yesterday, I’m not so sure anymore.
• There are so many clueless fans lol. Opposites usually have the best chemistry in real life.
  • For real. People who seem like polar opposites often have amazing chemistry when they actually meet.
    • This guy’s been watching too many streams lol
      • Even so, Lilith-Lulu is a stretch… If it were Luc-Lulu, maybe.
        • LMAO, Luc is just a toxic Cherry, though lol
          • If it were Luc-Lulu, Lulu-chan’s chastity would be in serious danger.
            • For real, we’d have to stop that collab, not promote it lol
• But yesterday, Lilith was going crazy over how much she loves Lulu lol
  • She made her stir-fried pork, how could she not love her? lol
    • If someone made me stir-fried pork and mackerel kimchi stew, I’d give them a deep kiss too, for real.
      • Not me, though. Stay away from me, you idiot lol
        • Bubbles are hilarious lol

Most people still couldn’t predict the chemistry between Lilith and Lulu.

Unlike other members who often mentioned each other during streams, Lilith had rarely talked about Lulu.

But on the flip side, that unpredictability made it even more exciting for many.

Whether it’s a 0 or a 100, you’ll only know once you see it.

That’s the beauty of the unknown.

With fans’ expectations soaring, the long-awaited first offline collab in Blue Love was about to begin.

＊＊＊＊＊

I woke up feeling incredibly refreshed today.

Why, you ask?

Because it’s the day of my first collab with Chae-yoon unnie!

Of course, I’m a little nervous, but I’m also really excited.

“Unnie, good morning.”

While preparing breakfast, I greeted Chae-yoon unnie as she came out of her room.

Her messy appearance was quite unique and fascinating to me.

“Mmm, did you sleep well, Da-jeong?”

“Hehe, actually, I was so excited about the collab with you today that I couldn’t sleep well.”

“Aww, you still need to sleep well, though. By the way, are you cooking again? You don’t have to go through the trouble…”

“It’s okay. It’s not hard at all.”

I clenched my fist and started assembling the ingredients for the sandwich.

Today’s breakfast was a simple morning bread sandwich and soup.

I even studied the recipe last night to prepare for this, I really hope unnie enjoys it.

“Unnie, here you go. Would you like some coffee too?”

“Ah, yes. Could you make me some?”

“Sure!”

Following what unnie taught me yesterday, I went to the capsule machine and brewed some coffee.

I was surprised at how simple it was to use.

You just pop in a capsule, press a button, and coffee comes out.

It really makes you appreciate how convenient life is these days.

“I’ll enjoy this, Da-jeong.”

“Yes, please eat well!”

I sat across from her, propping my chin on my hand as I watched her eat.

She must have liked it because her eyes widened, and she quickly finished one sandwich.

“Wow, this is really good. It’s exactly my style.”

“Really? I’m glad.”

Her compliment made me feel overjoyed.

As she devoured the second sandwich and nearly half the soup, she suddenly looked up at me and tilted her head.

“By the way, aren’t you going to eat? Why are you just staring at me? It’s embarrassing.”

“Hehe, just watching you enjoy the food makes me so happy.”

I rarely get to cook for others.

I don’t have many opportunities to cook in the first place, but even when I do, it’s usually just bringing some homemade snacks to the neighbor’s grandma.

So, watching someone enjoy the food I made with my own hands feels so fresh and exciting.

I think I understand what it means to feel full without eating.

“Sniff, our youngest is so kind… Unnie might cry.”

As she picked up another sandwich and started munching, unnie muttered softly, covering her mouth.

Her voice was so quiet I could barely hear her, but…

Gasp! What if she’s forcing herself to eat even though it doesn’t taste good?

She doesn’t have to do that.

＊＊＊＊＊

Just before noon, the computer finally arrived.

The company staff not only delivered the computer but also set it up before leaving.

I wanted to thank them by inviting them to eat, but they said they had work to do and had to return to the office.

“Today’s stream is going to be pretty long.”

“Yeah.”

I nodded at Chae-yoon unnie’s offhand comment as we looked at the newly set-up desk.

The reason she said that was probably because today’s collab would be split into two parts.

After discussing it over breakfast, we decided to do a Just Chatting segment in the first part as an offline collab, and then move to my room for an online-style gaming collab in the second part.

Many viewers had expressed interest in both formats when unnie posted the collab announcement.

“It’s almost 3, so should we start getting ready?”

“Yes!”

As we entered the room together, I saw a sight I hadn’t noticed yesterday.

It was a surprisingly minimalist room.

It felt more functional than decorative, with only the essentials and no extra furniture or items.

“Is the room a bit too empty? Unnie doesn’t really like decorating. I hope our youngest isn’t disappointed.”

As I looked around the room in awe, Chae-yoon unnie scratched her cheek awkwardly and spoke.

Ah, now that I think about it, Lilith once said she’s often told she’s not very feminine, and it’s a bit of a complex for her.

Maybe this room is something she’s not entirely comfortable showing off.

“No, not at all. I actually really like it because it feels so much like you, unnie.”

So I shared my honest thoughts.

It wasn’t just lip service.

The room perfectly reflected the Lilith and Chae-yoon unnie I know, and I really liked it.

Sure, it might feel a bit empty, but not in a bad way.

The minimalist items gave it a cozy, full feeling that I appreciated.

“Gasp, you’re not just teasing me, are you?”

“Unnie…!”

But despite my sincerity, Chae-yoon unnie gave me a teasing look and pretended to attack me.

She knows I didn’t mean it like that!

“Pfft, sorry. Just kidding, don’t be mad.”

“Ugh, you’re so mean…!”

Even if it’s a joke, how could she say that about my sincerity!

As I pouted, unnie, who had been laughing, asked me a question.

“Ah, what should we do about greetings? Each person has a different way of greeting.”

“Can’t we just do our own? You can do your usual ‘Kon Lili,’ and I’ll do ‘Hi Lu.’”

“Yeah, you’re right. I was overcomplicating it.”

After finalizing a simple introduction and a few key points, we set up our avatars and were about to finish preparing when…

“Huh…?”

“Unnie, what’s wrong?”

“Your avatar isn’t being recognized properly. Is it because we’re sitting too far apart?”

“Ah.”

Right.

Since we were both sitting in office chairs, the armrests kept us a bit too far apart.

That must be why my avatar isn’t registering properly.

What should we do?

Should I just let unnie use facial tracking while I control mine manually?

But then my expressions would be limited, and it might feel awkward for the viewers.

“Ah! Unnie, what about the sofa in the living room?”

“Huh? The sofa?”

“Yeah, it’s perfect for two people, and the height is just right.”

While I was pondering, I suddenly remembered the small two-seater sofa in the living room and suggested we use that.

From what I remember, it’s tall enough and small enough to fit in front of the desk without being in the way.

“That could work. But the sofa’s a bit small, so we’d have to sit really close. Wouldn’t that be uncomfortable for you?”

Unnie nodded at my suggestion but seemed a bit hesitant about one thing.

Now that I think about it, it is a bit small for two people.

It’s more like a slightly oversized one-seater sofa.

But since I’m small, we could probably squeeze in together.

Besides…

“It’s fine. I’d actually love to sit close to you, unnie.”

Sitting right next to unnie is something I’d welcome.

I giggled as I answered, but for some reason, unnie fell silent.

She stared at me for a while, then awkwardly looked away.

“Uh… Da-jeong, you shouldn’t say things like that so casually in front of others.”

She scolded me with a serious expression.

Did I say something wrong just now?

I’ve never said anything like this to anyone else, though.

“I only act like this in front of you, unnie.”

“No, that’s not really…”

When I tilted my head and answered to clear up her misunderstanding, unnie looked even more troubled and avoided my gaze.

“L-let’s just go get the sofa first.”

“Okay.”

She quickly got up, and we headed to the living room together.

The sofa felt a bit heavy even with the two of us carrying it, but maybe because I was so excited about the collab with unnie, it felt surprisingly light.
