NOVEL NEXT Chapter 416
I’m out for some fun, but what’s Miro? LOL
(Photos)
Looks like they’re busking and filming here.
-?
-For real?
Yeah, LOL I guess they’re shooting a variety show.
-Is that Miro? So pretty!
You still don’t know what Miro looks like?
-Where the heck is that?
I’m taking a taxi there right now!
-Just letting you know~
-(Secret comment.)
-That looks like a famous street.
-Where is it?
-So like…
-Where is it, damn it?
-I’m so jealous of the busking!
Damn Miro… If you’re gonna do it, at least give us a heads up on the broadcast!
-For real, you should have let us know!
-So jealous!
-Miro’s impromptu concert, wow!
(I brought the busking video)
They’ve done two songs now, the first was just guitar and the second one they sang.
-Bring more!
-Bring it all! LOL
-Wow Miro is super pretty! Hahaha
-Seriously, she’s so pretty all of a sudden!
(Watching the video, why is Miro so good at guitar?)
Just the other day, she was fiddling around on a stream!
-Must have practiced like crazy, LOL
-Miro is surprisingly diligent, huh?
-She’s openly diligent, LOL
-Ordinary people can’t juggle acting and being a virtual YouTuber like that! LOL
(Live) Miro’s new song announcement
They asked to turn off the camera, so I couldn’t film it LOL
But wow, it started pouring rain and she just kept going, so badass!
-Damn, you should’ve captured that!
-For real, this dude is crazy!
-She announced a new song?? What about the rain?
-It started pouring right before the announcement, but she just went for it!?
-Wow LOL
-Great Miro
-Damn, you should’ve filmed that!
(I filmed Miro singing the next song, okay?)
(Miro busking video)
Singing even while getting soaked LOL
-Wow, everyone around is getting drenched. Such a romantic vibe!
-Damn, even soaked, her face looks fine! LOL
-Busking must be so much fun!
(But seriously, why is she even a virtual YouTuber?)
(Soaked Miro)
Damn LOL why though??
-Wow LOL
-Her face is just so funny!
-Super pretty!
-Damn, looks like a legendary water bomb meme! LOL
(Miro goes viral LOL)
(Clip captured)
How many times has she appeared now? LOL
-Wow, the photos! LOL
-This variety show is gonna go viral for sure.
-For real!
(No, I’m a person who just came from the viral clip)
(Miro’s YouTube video)
Is this really her?? Playing some weird old game!
-Yes, that’s her LOL
-That’s the latest game, LOL
-Of all things, an old Romance of the Three Kingdoms video! LOL
(Seeing Miro busking makes me realize she really is living hard)
She doesn’t even do broadcasts properly, damn!
-LOL
-Are you saying your hobby and work are the same???
-Let’s be grateful she even does broadcasts! LOL
(So when will Miro start her broadcast?)
She probably won’t today.
-Then she’ll start tomorrow.
-But she got drenched, is she okay?
-Should be fine, she probably did it because she felt up to it!
(But I’m really excited for the variety show!)
Just from watching the busking video, it looks legendary.
-If Miro releases a new song, she might really soar!
-Can there be more room for her to soar than this?
-She’s not that famous as a singer yet, right?
-PD must be thrilled! LOL
-Buhwang is also shining on public TV!
-Just an amazing broadcast material…
(If Miro becomes successful as a singer)
Is she really not doing broadcasts??
-She’s probably earning big bucks but still does broadcasts, LOL
-Is Miro really earning that much??
-She’s definitely making a lot!
-She’ll keep doing broadcasts as her hobby, LOL
-For real, it’s her genuine hobby now.
(So Miro continues because it’s her hobby??)
(Miro’s bluebird account)
What’s this LOL
The broadcast will be soon! LOL
-Oh damn
-Ahhh
-LOL No, that’s not Miro! LOL
-Ksh…? Kim Soo-hyun wouldn’t run a silly account like that.
-For real… these guys are just slandering! LOL

“Take it easy today.”
“Yes….”
I went to the hospital with Park Kang-seok since morning.
The diagnosis was a severe cold.
I had been feeling feverish since waking up, and my head was spinning. It looks like I’ve caught a nasty cold.
I’ve gotten a shot at the hospital, so I’m feeling a bit better now, but I was told to rest.
Naturally, my schedule is on complete hold for a while.
I’m not in good shape, plus my cold could spread to others, so I can’t go out.
The only silver lining is that we’ve nearly completed filming for Drama Season 1.
Maybe that’s why the Director told me generously to take a break.
The music program I was scheduled to be on was in a few days, so that’s fortunate. After a good rest, I should be able to make it.
When I got home, I immediately lay down to rest in bed.
“Hey, you okay?”
“Uh… I’m okay now, thanks to the medicine.”
I was lying down but didn’t feel too bad.
The medicine from the hospital really works well.
When I woke up earlier, my head felt heavy, my body was weak, and I had a fever going up and down, but comparing now, I’m in a much better state.
“Feels a little cold though.”
“It’s summer, even colds shouldn’t hit anyone….”
“It’s a cold, okay?”
“Alright, alright, here, eat this porridge.”
“Okay….”
My appetite was low, but I had to eat to take my medicine.
I got up from my spot and had the porridge.
After eating and taking my medicine, I lay back, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Hmm, ummm….
I’m bored.
You know the feeling?
When you skip school or leave early because of a cold and suddenly feel much better once you’re out?
That’s exactly how I feel right now.
Other than feeling a bit heavy-headed, I feel fine.
Still, since rest is a priority, I kept my eyes closed or casually checked my phone to pass the time, but…
In the end, I couldn’t resist and got up from bed.
How can a person just lie around? A little walking will boost your health!
As I stepped out of the room, I saw the empty living room.
Where did Mrs. Jang go? Seeing Bok-sil alone in the living room doesn’t seem like a walk… did she go grocery shopping?
“What are you doing all alone?”
I approached Bok-sil, who was by herself.
As I got closer, Bok-sil lifted her head slightly.
“Oh, hey.”
Usually, she wags her tail when Mrs. Jang or Mr. Kim comes around, but she seems a bit lackluster with me.
I waddled over and picked Bok-sil up.
Suddenly, I felt warmth radiating.
“You’re kinda warm, huh?”
Did I hear that dogs don’t catch human colds?
I felt a bit chilly, so I took Bok-sil back to my room.
Lying down felt a bit excessive, so… should I do some computer work instead?
Sure, I’m sick but this is a rare day of complete rest.
All schedules canceled, and I’d already posted announcements for the broadcast too.
So I entered the Soundproof Booth and sat in my chair.
Bok-sil nestled in my arms was surprisingly calm, and when I placed her on my lap, she felt warm like a giant hot pack.
Petting Bok-sil with one hand, I began browsing the web.
First stop, the Community.
Since there were people filming the busking yesterday, I thought there might be some reactions, so I checked it out…
“Hmm….”
There’s quite a bit, huh?
Seems like rumors spread in the dead of night.
The PD will love this.
If it gathers buzz before airing, it can only be a good thing.
After surfing longer, I noticed a lot of posts related to me were circulating.
Since my status has increased, the buzz is definitely getting bigger.
Still, communities are pretty much the same, so I glanced around a bit before closing the browser.
While I’m resting, I think I’ll play a game since it’s been a while without broadcasting.
It feels a bit odd playing alone, so I grabbed my phone.
I do have a gaming friend who can join me during times like this, right?
I heard they’ve been busy lately… hope they have time?
I worried slightly and sent a quick text.
Zing! Zing!
But it seems my worries were unwarranted, as my phone rings immediately.
“Hello?”
[Soo-hyun?! You caught a cold?]
“Ah, yeah, wanna game together?”
[Eh?! Aren’t you supposed to be resting?]
“Feels better thanks to the medicine.”
The person on the phone was Tenshi.
I just texted to play games since I caught a cold, but I think I worried her unnecessarily.
[Hmm… Should I come take care of you?]
That’s sweet of her to offer to take care of me…
“Take care? How will you do that?”
Isn’t the distance a bit too much?
Japan and Korea might be close but it’s not like we’re neighbors or anything.
[Well, since I have to come to Korea anyway, I might come a few days earlier!]
“Uhh… is that necessary?”
[Wha… what do you mean…!]
“I mean, I think I’ll recover in just a day or two.”
Not sure if it’s because I felt confident from the medicine kicking in.
But if I keep feeling like this, I should feel energized enough to get up by tomorrow.
Even with a schedule in Korea, Tenshi wouldn’t come over just because.
But still…
[Whaaa… I really wanted to see your face after so long.]
“If that’s the case, I’ll make time for you if you come.”
[Really?]
There’s no way I would refuse my friend’s request to meet after such a long time.
It’s been a while, so it’d be nice to catch up.
“By the way, why are you coming to Korea?”
[Oh, there’s a collaboration!]
“A collaboration?”
[Yeah! An event with a Korean game!]
“Oh… but are you coming in person? Not doing it online?”
[I’m going to take some photos and participate in the event secretly!]
“Ah, I see.”
If a virtual YouTuber shows up in person to take pictures, how grateful must the collaboration partners feel!
In that sense, Tenshi really is a fantastic virtual YouTuber.
Anyway, right after that, we started playing games together.
We played a first-person shooter, then another shooting game, and some battle royale…
I shot guns all day long until it was afternoon…
“Ugh….”
Eventually, the effects of the medicine wore off.
[…Are you okay?]
“Uh… not really.”
I wanted to keep playing, but the moment the medicine ran out, I felt miserable.
My fever spiked again and my head was spinning.
“Ugh, it’s hot. Bok-sil, down you go.”
Bok-sil, who had been sleeping on my lap, hopped down, and I stood up.
“I’ll grab some water.”
I told Tenshi and headed to the kitchen to get some water.
Just before going back to my room, I lay down on the living room sofa for a bit.
“Ugh.”
Feeling the cold touch of the leather made me feel a bit better.
Looking up at the ceiling made me dizzy, so I closed my eyes.
I thought I’d rest a bit like this before getting up to head back.
It’s fun playing games with Tenshi after such a long time.
While lying there thinking that I want to play longer when I’m feeling better.
Before I knew it…
“Mmm….”
I drifted off to sleep.
