I Became a Malicious Streamer

At the A.T.X awards ceremony, Mollru’s guerrilla date was a success, and people are giving it a big thumbs up, lol.

First off, me, lol.

ㅇㅇ: Seeing her in real life was crazy. The camera couldn’t capture even half of her true beauty.

ㅇㅇ: Wait, is Mollru really here?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Yeah, she came, gave autographs, took pictures, shook hands, and even hugged!

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Bullshit, bro.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: It’s real, Molbu, lol. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true!

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I didn’t go thinking she wouldn’t come. sigh

Hehe… this is Molbu who got a hug from Mollru!

(Photo proof jpg.)

She was so gorgeous in person that I couldn’t say a word, ugh. Just seeing her face made me happy, and then suddenly she was there giving autographs, taking photos, and when I asked for a hug, she just hugged me out of nowhere, heart attack, ugh.

It wasn’t even a proper fan meeting, so she could’ve left without doing any of that, but she gave us such fan service, sigh ugh.

She looks like a total ice queen, but her personality seems so warm, lol. I’ll keep watching the broadcasts diligently from now on!

ㅇㅇ: What is this?!

ㅇㅇ: I’m so jealous!

ㅇㅇ: A high school Molbu, lol. What on earth is happening?!

ㅇㅇ: The Bangjang has a lot of female fans, you know.

ㅇㅇ: But Mollru only hugged this one girl, ugh. I almost died from jealousy.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The others were all just a bunch of guys anyway.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: For real, if she hugged a guy, it’d be chaos. The Galju is handling it well.

ㅇㅇ: Why did my mom give birth to me as a guy? If I was a girl, I could get hugs from Galju, touch her hands freely, and take photos all cozy.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Thailand, go.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Trans Molbu…

I’m seriously so unfair, lol.

A few days ago, I was the one who wrote that Mollru had a high chance of attending the ceremony.

But I ended up being too busy on the day to go, and I never imagined an event as generous as this would happen.

I’m seriously so freaking jealous, jealous, jealous, damn jealous!

ㅇㅇ: Idiot, lol.

ㅇㅇ: I saw your post and bought a train ticket right away, thank you, lol.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Damn…

ㅇㅇ: Post more photos, you bastards!

ㅇㅇ: Lol, there are none, Molbu.

ㅇㅇ: Do you think they’d share willingly?

For all the Molbus who want to see the Galju but couldn’t, here’s today’s legendary Mollru award ceremony meme.

Honestly, it’s bait, lol.

So what are you going to do about it? What can you do? You little shit, lol.

Mollru came to the awards, and the lucky Molbus who waited got autographs and photos.

So aside from being pissed and downvoting every post, what else can you do, you freaking idiot, lol.

ㅇㅇ: You bastard!

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Are you mad? If you were angry, you should’ve come to the awards!

ㅇㅇ: Hahaha, look at those downvotes, solid performance.

ㅇㅇ: I feel so bad that I entered here hoping to find some info and now I’m stuck with you guys…

ㅇㅇ: That’s some crazy baiting, you psycho, lol.

ㅇㅇ: Molbus who missed out on seeing the Galju are fuming and downvoting everything, lol.

“So you accepted all of that?”
“Not all, just the few that stood out.”
“Wow, the fans hit the jackpot today. That’s practically a fan meeting, right?”

Tex asked while munching on some popcorn.

Talking about the surprise fan meeting that took place at the awards ceremony. Ryuah, listening with interest next to Tex, chimed in.
“When you look closely, Ji-eun is surprisingly weak on the people she likes. Just like this time, and last time when we went out-.”

It seemed that in Ryuah’s mind, Mollru was someone who couldn’t refuse other people’s requests easily.

“You’ve benefited from that enough to talk about others?”
“…Well, that’s true.”

Touché. Ryuah used her understanding of Mollru to push her around, taking advantage of her character.

Even though Tex’s comment seemed casual, it often hit the nail on the head. Ryuah’s face flushed from the unexpected counterattack.

“Hey, you’re dating Papi, right? You little thief!”
“Pfft!”

Out of nowhere, she dropped that bomb.

Tex, who was gulping down popcorn and draft beer, began coughing as if he had choked.

“How did you know…?”

Except for the two involved, Tex and Papi Joah, no one else knew about this. Yet Ryuah had spotted it precisely.

“I can tell just by looking. It’s all visible. Don’t underestimate a woman’s intuition.”
“So speaking of which, why is that coming up now…?”

Tex scratched his head, feeling awkward as he looked around. His gaze fell to a corner of the spacious shop.

Streamer Papi Joah was momentarily out of reach, answering a phone call.

She was smiling while her ponytail swung behind her as she chatted, only to catch Tex’s gaze and shyly wave back at him.

That smile certainly carried a different weight for those in the know.

Tex, in return, sent her a little smile as a signal.

“Wow, your face just became super creepy.”
“…What are you talking about? And calling me a thief, we’re only six years apart…” would be a difficult defense. But still, this seems pretty okay, right?”
“A 30-something thief snatching a bright 20-something girl, Tex.”

Tex and Ryuah had a bit of a bickering chemistry, probably because they lived close and shared similar vibes.

They had been involuntarily involved since the early days of their group and had created a romantic atmosphere, regardless of their intentions.

Many viewers thought there was something going on between the two.

In the end, it turned out neither of them ended up getting together with each other.

“Honestly, I was just covering my tracks. Streamers are all like this. On-air they’re with one person, but behind the scenes, they’re with someone else. I’m just a tool, a tool.”
“Did you ever like me? If so, I’m sorry. You’re not my type.”
“What are you saying? You’re not my type either.”

Their playful banter was short-lived as Cheolwoo returned from the restroom, interested in the new topic.
“What? Are you dating Papi?”

“They say they’re dating.”
“Seriously?”
“Ugh, even you… I was going to keep it a secret but…”

Tex wore an embarrassed face, begging for secrecy.

“Everyone knows, man. If this spreads, Papi’s viewers will dwindle by half.”

The sad reality of being a female streamer.

Unless you consciously establish yourself as a cheerful entertainer, a heavenly clown who doesn’t evoke the fantasy of a love story, or even if you attempt to, fans will inevitably develop crushes on streamers.

Fundamentally, since the internet streaming scene is male-dominated.

Especially when Papi Joah, at her prime, was not lacking in the looks department as well. All her preliminary conditions were comfortably met.

If the truth got out that she was dating Tex, she’d definitely face quite a few hurdles on the broadcast for a while.

“You know, man, I’ve been in this streaming game for several years. But from my experience, it’s not usually the surrounding people that lead to the leaks but rather one’s usual conduct. I’ve seen people getting caught on dates by fans who posted about it in the community and things blew up.”
“I don’t think I can hide it forever.”

Tex nodded in agreement.
“But isn’t this office romance? Dating within the Mollru squad and whatnot. Is that really allowed, Mollru?”

Cheolwoo’s playful question garnered a reaction from Mollru, who had been quiet.

She couldn’t deny the title of the Mollru Squad; Mollru was indeed at the center of this group.

However, she preferred listening to the stories of others rather than talking about her own.

“…I told you not to call us the Mollru Squad.”

Even under Ryuah’s control, Mollru’s eyes briefly flickered awake as she seemed a bit tipsy.

“Oh no, sorry, my age got to me there. My bad.”
“You’re not that old, come on…”
“Mollru, just wait until you reach my age. You’ll mix up yesterday’s lunch and all.”

She threw some self-deprecating humor based on age, and Mollru had no real rebuttal afterward.

Cheolwoo punctuated the moment with humor.
“So what do you think?”
“About what?”
“About Papi and Tex dating.”

Mollru paused for a moment, thought about it, then glanced over at Tex and Papi Joah across from her.

“They look good together, hope they last a long time. Good luck.”
“Yay…”

Then came her bland reply, devoid of emotion, to which Tex responded listlessly.

Mollru, as the leader of the squad, isn’t dating anyone. They probably expected something like that as a fun answer. Cheolwoo sighed, feeling let down by the response.

Mollru’s lips curled upward slightly as she blurted out something surprising.
“So that’s it, huh? So that’s why you’ve been avoiding my gaze, Tex.”
“…What are you talking about?”

Tex, feeling a wave of anxiety, asked back.

“Not too long ago, whenever we’d meet, you were subtly eyeing me. But today, you haven’t even glanced. If you have a girlfriend, it makes sense.”

Mollru said this calmly while munching peanuts served as an appetizer, arousing confusion in Tex.

“Y-yeah? When did I ever do that? What are you on about…!”
“Wow, bro. I didn’t see that coming. Did you steal glances at me secretly? How creepy!”
“I mean, it’s only natural for a guy during those times, but watch your eyes, Tex. You could end up at the police station for staring too hard.”

Ryuah looked at him coldly while shaking her head disapprovingly, and Cheolwoo smirked.

Tex shouted out, feeling wronged.
“Mollru, please say something!”

To that, Mollru slowly took a sip of her cola and responded with a fresh smile.
“I was just kidding, it’s all a joke.”

Tex muttered in disbelief at that bright, innocent smile.
“Who jokes like this…”
