Last night, Moon Si-hyun suddenly ended her broadcast.

In the midst of worrying about her, the Squirrel declared that she would visit her house.

Those two events became the hottest gossip in related galleries yesterday and today.

Numerous speculations flew around, but… in the end, news about the two remained absent until the new year dawned.

Still, community users continued to wait for news about them.

Squirrel Official Fan Cafe

“Hello, Squirrel!”

“Today, I’ll start broadcasting at 1 PM!!”

―――

The Squirrel’s announcement, aimed at filling the bellies of the extremely hungry viewers, was posted.

Members of the Squirrel fan cafe eagerly disseminated that announcement across various streaming gallery channels.

Squirrel broadcast is on! Let’s go! [1]

Is the Squirrel going to spill some tea? [3]

Waking up super early [5]

Please share some Moon Si-hyun stories! [3]

Just turn it on right now, damn it! [2]

Open the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [4]

Is the Squirrel’s story broadcast real? [5]

―――

So, before it even began, everyone had already taken their seats for her broadcast.

At the promised time, the Squirrel’s broadcast began right on cue.

All related galleries started streaming her broadcast.

Once the Squirrel spoke, the first post to appear in the gallery’s concept thread was:

―――

Squirrel: I laid down Moon Si-hyun and did a uterus massage (no fabrication whatsoever) [209]

(Clip)

{I noticed my sister was having a tough time, so I laid her down for a bit and did a uterus massage. … No, no! I mean, a tummy massage!}

– ???????

– ??

– What the heck???

– (Dumbfounded)

– Is this true???

– Why are you talking about a uterus?

– Is this for real????

– The moment she said that, the chat froze and then flooded with characters in an instant—legendary ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Omg, wtf.

– Ah damn, I’m shocked.

– So, Si-hyun has a uterus down there… huh.

– What the heck is this?

– Isn’t that an obvious statement? But the way you said it gives me chills.

– But I think I get it…

– Si-hyun is still a baby… doesn’t know about things like this.

– But Si-hyun got pierced by Geum Taeyang at the company dinner, so what are you saying, bear?

– Die.

– Are you really skipping that she gave a tummy massage?

– How can we disregard the fact that Squirrel said she did a uterus massage…

– I mean, damn, why is Squirrel doing that to Si-hyun? Is it a tummy massage or a uterus sensitivity development massage?

– For real ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Why did she do it? What made Moon Si-hyun get so upset?

―――

An extremely shocking titled post. However, upon watching the clip, there really was no fabrication.

Thus, it sparked immense curiosity even among those who weren’t part of that broadcast or its relay.

Soon after, another highly recommended post appeared.

―――

Squirrel’s visit to Moon Si-hyun’s house summary.txt

Squirrel was concerned about how much she could share, cutting out all the unnecessary bits.

=====

“I went to my sister’s house yesterday. We ate together and hung out at her place.”

“She’s okay. It’s nothing serious.”

“Why did she do that yesterday? Hmm…”

“No, the viewers didn’t make her act that way. It was quite the opposite… (muttering)

“Um… women have those days, right? It’s just unavoidable… yeah.”

“I think my sister started the broadcast because she wanted to see the viewers, but I guess she felt hurt and upset because everyone kept bringing up Harris.”

“Anyway, after eating, we were together for a bit.”

“I sensed my sister was really struggling, so I laid her down and did a tummy massage.”

“…Wait, no! Tummy massage! Tummy massage! If the chat goes too overboard, it’s purge time. Uh, uh-oh! Purging time!!”

“Anyway, this is all I’ll share. Saying more would be rude. But one last thing…”

“Si-hyun is a really soft-hearted person, more than viewers think.”

“I know because we spend a lot of time together. She cares a lot about the viewers and thinks of them often.”

“So, I hope everyone treats her well.”

– Wow, it really was her period.

– Wait, why is this true?

– So she didn’t turn off the stream because she was disgusted by the broth?

– How can the reason for ending the stream be jealousy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Just how innocent is Moon Si-hyun?

– There was a guy who got blocked for spamming that he knew her period schedule, and he was right, lol.

– How did he even know?

– Probably figured it out from her break schedule.

– How is she so cute even when dealing with this?

– She really is super cute…

– No way, she really ended the broadcast for that? She’s not even a child!

– But if it’s Moon Si-hyun, I can understand.

– Yeah, she seems too innocent to differentiate these kinds of actions.

– For real, they must not care about the community at all.

– So that’s how the uterus massage came up, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– But is it really called a uterus massage?

– Usually, it’s not referred to that way, but considering what it is, I guess it sort of is if it’s a menstrual pain massage.

– Seriously, these are some brain-drenched folks…

– I didn’t realize she was this close to Moon Si-hyun.

―――

And so, with the Squirrel’s broadcast, the viewers’ curiosity was quickly resolved.

Even, positively for them.

…… So now, different types of posts started appearing.

―――

So, to summarize Moon Si-hyun yesterday:

Due to her period, she was really upset and lonely, so she turned on the broadcast,

but because the viewers kept talking about other women, she felt really jealous and ended the broadcast?

This is what…

– Ah, damn it.

– That’s really hot.

– Totally hot as hell.

– Looking at it like this, it seems a bit hot.

―――

Could it be that previously some were worried that Moon Si-hyun was really sick of the viewers?

Now, they were genuinely excited, posting cheerful messages once more.

―――

– Treat Si-hyun nicely, you say??

(Capturing a screenshot of 100,000 won donation on Pazzk)

(A collection of clips from Moon Si-hyun’s broadcast back then)

I already prepared my 1,000 won punching bag and crazy donation video yesterday. ㅋㅋ

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Me too! ㅋㅋ

– Honestly, how do you endure this teasing? ㅋㅋ

– For real, that was the best roast I’ve seen.

– She was acting inappropriately because she was on her period, which makes it even funnier.

– She really needs to be roasted hard!

– Ehehe…

―――

But those who didn’t listen to their parents wouldn’t heed Squirrel’s advice.

In a very good light, it was… their own immature, childish expression of affection.

Thus, they eagerly awaited Moon Si-hyun to turn on her broadcast again, all too excited to tease her upon her return.

But then, the next day as well.

―――

Where’s Moon Si-hyun? [4]

She’s not here, what’s up with that? [6]

―――

There were still no news from Moon Si-hyun’s broadcast.

―――

And so, the next day came, and soon it was late afternoon.

If Moon Si-hyun didn’t turn on the broadcast today, it’d be her second day of rest.

And Moon Si-hyun rarely took more than two days off from broadcasting.

―――

She’ll come soon; I believe in Si-hyun. [4]

She’ll probably come tomorrow, okey-dokey. [2]

―――

In a typical scenario, it would be something to be disappointed about, but one could hardly let it slide. In a way, it wasn’t that long of a time.

…… But that day, too, Moon Si-hyun did not show up.

The next day.

It had been three days since Moon Si-hyun turned on her broadcast.

“Damn it, why isn’t she here?” [1]

“Why isn’t she here, you damn girl?” [10]

“I feel like I’m going insane, Si-hyun!” [5]

“Please come back!” [3]

“Just write a notice… [2]

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” [4]

“I’ll be a good kid, please! I’ll be a good kid, please! I’ll be a good kid, please!” [5]

―――

Now, the viewers were becoming withered and crumbling away.

Given all the farewells to countless Hako, they seemed to be suffering from ‘PTSD’ from Moon Si-hyun’s disappearance.

During this time, Squirrel’s broadcasts, when asked where Moon Si-hyun had gone, also replied vaguely.

It felt like this echoed some sort of ‘premonitory symptoms’ they had all gone through, urging their excitement to peak…

And then.

―――

Six months later… Moon Si-hyun…TXT

???: Huh? Wasn’t Si-hyun broadcasting once?

???: Ah, yes.

???: Why aren’t you doing it anymore? Is it because of Fioren? Weren’t you doing well?

???:……

She quietly recalled the past—her joyful days with the viewers.

However, after a day where she was gravely hurt by the viewers’ mistakes, that pure feeling had become nothing but a memory.

???: There were definitely enjoyable times with the viewers, but now… I just prefer being with my brother.

???: Heh, how cute. Our Si-hyun… Shall we do it again? You’ve recovered completely now. (Hand goes beneath the blanket)

???: Eep!? Heh, yes, yes… please teach me more things I don’t know.

(The screen slowly darkens…)

– You damn girl.

– Ah…

– Delete it.

– Ah…

– Delete it.

– Phew…

– Please delete the post, ㅠ

– The screen darkening is just damn funny ㅋㅋ

– No way, I saw it all, you crazy ㅋㅋ

– Delete it, you bastard.

– Ah, lol.

– Moon Si-hyun using all her brain cells for broth-loving…

– Wow.

– Is she out of her mind?

– Please… my heart aches so much.

―――

However, a certain post that recklessly scraped their pure fan sentiment became a huge flashpoint.

Bear Doll Official Fan Cafe

“Where the hell did that brat go?” [4]

“I’m sorry!” [2]

“Damn, is she really gone?” [6]

“Si-hyun, please… at least write a notice, for real!” [12]

“Si-hyun, it can’t be, right?” [4]

“Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!” [3]

“We’ve been good together!” [5]

“I feel like I’m going insane!” [3]

“Please come backㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ” [2]

―――

This just made them tremble even more.

Yet… even as the day passed, there was still no news from Moon Si-hyun.

Idaram and Moon Si-hyun were playing a multiplayer arcade game together.

Yet, only Idaram’s voice and the clicks of her keyboard could be heard.

Moon Si-hyun remained silent.

“……”

Idaram eyed her and finally mustered the courage to speak.

“Sister, when will you turn on your broadcast?”

Moon Si-hyun’s character suddenly froze.

Then.

[Ah… I won’t turn it on.]

“Excuse me!?”

A shocking statement echoed.

“Then, when will you turn it on?”

[…… I won’t turn it on.]

“Excuse me!?”

Moon Si-hyun’s ears were bright red, and even from her trembling voice, it was clear.

The two engaged in a brief tussle.

“Come on, sis. The viewers are waiting, you know—”

[Absolutely, absolutely not. I… I don’t want to broadcast.]

“Sister!?”

[I just can’t…]

But this time, Moon Si-hyun’s stubbornness was incredibly tough.

I understood. Seeing her whenever, it was clear how much shame she felt from her previous actions.

“……”

Idaram thought about the fact that Moon Si-hyun’s words weren’t mere empty words, and she might refrain from broadcasting for quite some time.

Idaram pondered for a moment.

To think about a way to successfully bring her back to broadcasting once more.

Then, a light bulb went off in her head.

“Sister.”

Idaram decided to bring out a suggestion she had thought about for a long time.

“Damn it, you bastards! You ruined it because of your broth-loving!”

“Seriously, you should have stopped teasing!”

“You damned idiots!”

– For real.

– Damn those broth lovers, may they all die.

– Bring back Moon Si-hyunㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Do you all not understand the word ‘moderation’?

– Why the hell would you tease like that?

– I seriously didn’t think they would actually believe it.

– Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!

– It’s you, isn’t it?

– Die.

A few days ago, there had been a bit of optimistic writing, but now, as time passed, only dreary posts filled the gallery.

It transformed into an evident gallery of those suffering from depression.

As time went on, a post came up that made all users in the gallery click in interest.
