I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 64

As my groggy mind gradually returned to its normal state, I opened my eyes to the unfamiliar scenery of a room.

Hmm…

Where am I?

Oh, right. I remember doing a collab stream with Ra-hee unnie yesterday and then falling asleep in her arms…

Hug.

“…Huh?”

While I was piecing things together, the soft, warm sensation pressing against my back instantly snapped me back to full awareness.

Wait a second.

Someone’s hugging me.

Who is it?

“Gasp…!”

When I cautiously turned my head, I saw Ra-hee unnie’s sleeping face.

I swallowed hard and quickly assessed my situation.

Unnie’s arms were draped over my shoulders, holding me tightly.

Once that was confirmed, my mind started racing to process everything.

Did I… sleep in the same bed as unnie last night? And I even took over her bed?

Ugh, Jeong Da-jeong, you idiot!

What kind of nuisance are you causing at someone else’s house?!

Not to mention, I fell asleep during yesterday’s collab stream, so we didn’t even properly wrap it up!

“Ugh…”

My face burned with shame, in the end, I left everything to unnie.

Since I fell asleep, she probably had no choice but to end the stream abruptly and she must’ve struggled to carry me to bed too.

How am I supposed to face her when she wakes up?

I buried my face in my hands as it grew hotter.

The fact that unnie’s embrace is so comfortable that I don’t want to leave makes me feel even dumber.

Worried that her arms might loosen, I instinctively grabbed onto them with both hands.

At that moment, a familiar voice reached my ears.

“…Da-jeong, are you awake?”

“Huh? Unnie…! Were you already awake?”

“Yeah, I just woke up, but you were still asleep, so I stayed still.”

Oh, I see.

Wait, hold on.

Does that mean unnie saw everything I just did…?

“By the way, did you like unnie’s embrace that much? You grabbing onto my arm was so cute.”

“P-please forget about it…!”

I screamed at unnie, who was smiling like a little devil, forgetting it was still morning.

Ugh.

Ra-hee unnie is definitely my counter.

She knows exactly how to tease me.

“Since you’re awake, should we have breakfast? You said you have to leave early today.”

“Ah, yeah… Since we took a break yesterday, I’m planning to stream a bit early today to hang out with the cherries.”

“Our youngest has such a professional mindset.

Pat pat.

Hehe.

It’s not that big of a deal.

Feeling a bit embarrassed but also happy from unnie’s praise and head pats, I couldn’t help but smile.

“What do you want for breakfast? Anything in particular?”

As we left the room and headed downstairs, unnie asked.

“I’m fine with anything. I eat everything.”

“Then how about some Korean food? I’ll let the housekeeper know.”

Housekeeper?

Ah, now that I think about it, unnie mentioned they have a housekeeper who comes regularly.

It really feels like we live in different worlds.

“Miss, are you awake?”

As we descended the wooden staircase, the open layout of the house revealed the kitchen on the first floor.

The housekeeper unnie mentioned noticed us and greeted us while working in the kitchen.

“Yes. By the way, if breakfast isn’t ready yet, could we have Korean food?”

“Korean food? Of course. I have some marinated bulgogi too. Should I prepare that as well?”

“That sounds good. Please go ahead.”

Wow.

There’s a sense of dignity here.

Even if I had the money to hire someone, I’d feel awkward giving orders to someone much older than me.

It really feels like something out of a manga, like a noble family’s young lady…

Snap!

…Huh?

“Lulu-chan! Yesterday’s collab stream was so much fun!”

“Th-thank you…”

I was startled when something suddenly grabbed me from behind.

Turns out, it was Si-eun unnie hugging me.

Thanks to the overwhelming height difference compared to Ra-hee unnie, I looked like a baby bear being held by a mama bear.

“Ah, do you know how cute you were yesterday, Lulu-chan? You fell asleep at the end and started making little purring sounds, like a kitten…!”

“Huh? I-I did that?”

“Yes! The fans went crazy over how cute you were!”

Si-eun unnie was gushing excitedly, but instead of feeling happy, I was overwhelmed with a sudden sense of shame.

Luckily, since Si-eun unnie was holding me, I didn’t collapse on the spot, but…

Ugh, what on earth did I do yesterday?!

How could I make purring sounds in my sleep?!

Are you an axolotl or a cat?! Which one?!

“Ah, by the way, Da-jeong kept calling unnie’s name and giving kisses in her sleep too.”

“R-really…?!”

When Ra-hee unnie added that bombshell, I was completely stunned.

Even though I love unnies, did I really do that in my sleep?

Does that even make sense?!

Jeong Da-jeong, what on earth did you do yesterday…

“Just kidding.”

…Unnie, I hate you.

＊＊＊＊＊

After having breakfast at Ra-hee unnie’s house, I said goodbye to her mom and Si-eun unnie before heading home.

Right before leaving, Si-eun unnie was so reluctant to let me go that she begged me to stay one more night. It was hard to leave, but I promised to visit again soon.

‘Alright, I recharged with a break yesterday, so today I’ll work hard to hang out with the cherries.’

Planning to stream for at least 12 hours, I pressed the red button.

“Hi, cherries! Long time no see!”

Even though it was just a one-day break, it felt like forever since I last saw the cherries.

But as soon as I greeted them, the chat turned into a sea of tears.

• ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
• I missed you, Lulu-chan ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
• Lu-ha
• A year… It was a long and oppressive time…
• I almost froze to death in the Ice Age…

“Come on, it was just one day. And I streamed at Lucretia unnie’s house yesterday too.”

You guys are so dramatic.

But it means the cherries were waiting for me, so I couldn’t help but smile.

• To us, it felt like a year…
• But the surprise collab was so good
• If it weren’t for the collab yesterday, I would’ve cried for real

“Hehe, I’m glad you all liked it. Honestly, I felt a bit uneasy taking a break, but I’m so grateful Lucre unnie suggested it.”

Except for unavoidable situations like moving or the ceiling collapsing, yesterday was the first time I took a break of my own volition.

That’s why, unlike previous breaks, I felt uneasy this time.

Of course, rest is important, but it felt like I was betraying the cherries who were eagerly waiting for me.

Still, thanks to Ra-hee unnie, I was able to meet the cherries even briefly yesterday.

Otherwise, I would’ve felt uncomfortable until this morning.

I guess I really am someone who needs to stream.

‘I’m gonna smooch smooch Lulu-chan’s cheeks!’

“Hey, you’re getting drool on me! My cheeks aren’t rice cakes, why are you smooch smooch-ing them?!”

• Can’t resist Lulu-chan’s cheeks, for real LOL
• They do look like rice cakes though LOL
• How much does it cost to smooch smooch once?
• Name your price.

“I’m not selling any tickets like that! The unnies don’t do that to me either!”

Although Chae-yoon unnie did say something similar once.

She was poking my cheeks and said, “Da-jeong’s cheeks look like rice cakes. I want to bite them.”

Of course, I said no.

Touching is one thing, but sucking on someone’s cheeks? That’s just not allowed!

Naturally, Chae-yoon unnie backed off, saying it was just a joke.

Though I did catch a glimpse of genuine disappointment on her face…

Hmm, it must’ve been a joke. It had to be.

[‘Jokkongtong’ donated 1,000 won for snacks!]

‘How was the queen’s house?’

“Unnie’s house? It was like a palace! The ceiling was this high, there’s a second floor, and they even have a housekeeper…!”

I didn’t go into too much detail about the exterior or interior, but within the limits of what unnie said was okay, I proudly described it.

• The queen is on another level
• Class is just different
• The way she explains it is so cute LOL
• Axolotl amazed by modern civilization.avi

Hey, I’m not exaggerating!

If anyone visited Ra-hee unnie’s house, they’d be just as amazed!

It was that incredible!

[‘Anna’ donated 1,000 won for snacks!]

‘Lulu-chan, let’s earn lots of money and live in a palace-like house too.’

“Hehe, no need. The house I just moved into is already like a palace to me. It’s all thanks to the cherries.”

Honestly, living alone in such a big house would feel too lonely.

A place like this, just the right size, is perfect for me.

This place alone feels more than enough for me.

[‘Ttaempang’ donated 1,000 won for snacks!]

‘So, how was it sleeping in the same bed as the queen?’

“…Huh? H-how did you know I slept with Lucretia unnie?!”

Just as I was about to switch to the game I prepared, a sharp question from a cherry left me stunned.

How does everyone know I slept in the same bed as Ra-hee unnie?

Unnie didn’t tweet about it or anything.

Did you guys plant a surveillance camera or something…?!

• So it’s true LOL
• Lucretia mentioned it before ending the stream yesterday LOL
• Lulu-chan was asleep, so she didn’t know LOL

“L-Lucretia unnie said that…?!”

Just as I was about to spiral into wild delusions, the unexpected culprit was revealed.

So, Ra-hee unnie, right before ending the stream after I fell asleep, told the viewers, “I’m going to sleep in the same bed with her”…?!

Unnieeeee!

Why would you do that?!

[‘WhoDoYouThinkYouAre’ donated 10,000 won for snacks!]

‘I’ve never been more jealous of the queen than today…’

“Why would you be jealous of that…! You pervert! B-but thank you for the 10,000 won donation.”

• Hehehe
• Why is that perverted? I don’t get it.
• What are you imagining, Lulu-chan?
• Tell us the details LOL
• Still doing the reactions diligently though LOL

Well, they donated 10,000 won so of course I’ll do the reaction, but that’s one thing and this is another!

What’s so enviable about sleeping in the same bed as me?! You perverts!

“I-I really just slept with unnie! Sure, unnie hugged me like a plushie, but… it wasn’t anything weird like you’re imagining!”

• Rub it in! Rub it in hard!
• This is the declaration of polar bear extinction…
• Sorry, perverts ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Stop with the delusions!

You guys only have perverted thoughts in your heads!

Is this the average cherry…?!

[‘Taltissa’ donated 2,000 won for snacks!]

‘The more vehemently you deny it, the more suspicious it looks, you Axolotl.’

• For real LOL
• If it’s not true, why deny it so hard…?
• We need to hear both sides of the story.
• Let’s call the queen LOL

“How am I supposed to call Lucretia unnie now?! Stop saying weird things and let’s just play the game… Huh?”

Just as I was puffing steam like an angry locomotive, about to start the game with my lips pouted…

[Lucretia_Ishtar] – Lulu-chan, last night was so much fun.
[Lucretia_Ishtar] – You said it should be our little secret, but…
[Lucretia_Ishtar] – I just couldn’t keep it to myself.
[Lucretia_Ishtar] – Wink

“Unnieeeeeee!”

When Ra-hee unnie suddenly appeared in the chat, pouring fuel on the fire, I couldn’t hold back and raised my voice at her on stream for the first time.

I even ended up muting her in the chat.

Hmph.

This is all Ra-hee unnie’s fault!
