I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

086. Signs

From noble mtl dot com

I have trouble breathing.

When I open my eyes, I feel like the scene I saw a little while ago will come back to me.

I buried my face in my brother’s arms even more strongly.

My brother gently pats my back without saying a word.

I was aware that the broadcast was still on, so I had to go back to that seat.

When I pulled away from my face, my brother’s black eyes looked at me.

The shape of his lips conveys his intentions.

-Are you okay?

I swallowed snot and shook my head from side to side.

It’s not okay! It’s not okay! How can you be okay after seeing this?

I wanted to scream, but that was enough after the broadcast.

When I reluctantly came back to my senses and went back to sit down, the chat window was very chaotic.

[Sun]

[Person]

[What is it, Oppa?]

[Person]

[Are you really with your boyfriend right now?]

[Sun]

Ah… I was so shocked that I instinctively called my brother.

I felt like I was ruined, but I took a sip of water.

[Ah. Ah. Everyone.]

When my voice was input again, the Pingtuk group’s chatting became even more intense.

[Why do you keep asking me to explain? To the person who was so scared that he was about to pass out just a moment ago.]

[You said you were my brother? I? Didn’t you say dad?]

[No. Hey guys. What time is it and is there someone next to me? And I’m broadcasting alone in the studio right now?]

I had to deal with the situation as calmly as possible.

And in fact, no one could prove that my brother was here.

How can you prove it if you can’t see it?

This was not a live broadcast with an actual camera turned on.

Despite talking to them, they keep biting back.

I wanted to continue playing the game, but in the end I had no choice but to draw my sword.

[Hey guys. Shall we stop playing? It seems like everyone isn’t paying attention to what I’m doing?]

[No. That’s right. I’m trying my best to put up with really scary things because you guys want to see it.]

[Are you so angry and mortified that you screamed while looking for your dad that you can’t even watch the broadcast?]

As I spoke while pressing the fuzz button, the chat window showed signs of fading away.

[No. Just take a look.]

[I said dad, but why do you keep saying that?;;]

[I was watching it well, why are you ruining it?]

To be honest, I didn’t feel like playing the game anymore because the atmosphere was so messed up, but I knew that turning it off here would only increase the controversy.

Ah… But I think the mother’s ghost will appear again.

I turned my head slightly to see my brother’s face, and he was tapping something with a very engrossed face.

[Lucario: No way]

When I looked at what he was doing, he seemed to be hitting the water hard and putting up my shield.

Decided to continue playing the game no matter what, I took turns calling my mom, dad, God, etc. And screaming, and the never-ending horror game came to an end.

[Ah…]

I pressed the end game button and let out a deep sigh.

I was just so mentally tired.

Just playing a horror game was full of stress, but with the naming controversy erupting, can I say I was hectic?

[Everyone. Did you enjoy it?]

When I asked a question in a withered voice, the chat window was filled with pin-tuk cones with everyone praising me.

There were still people who were like parrots asking me to explain my brother’s controversy, but I knew very well that those people were not people who would listen to what I said.

[I… I won’t play horror games anymore, even if I have to make promises… hehehe…]

[There is no heart left. The heart.]

[Still.]

I knew full well that an idol’s face would not be saved if he ended by whining, so I ended up sending him a message of gratitude.

[Because you all loved Closer that much.]

[Horror game… I felt like I was going to die playing it, but you still enjoyed it, right?]

As the overall heart-warming chat continued, I finally felt at ease.

[Sigh… What should we do with these evildoers…]

[Everyone. Well then, let’s meet again on the next broadcast? Everyone luba~ rubarubaruba~]

The broadcast ended with that smile.

After confirming that the broadcast was completely turned off, I trudged helplessly to my brother’s side.

“Doya.”

My brother got up from his chair and came towards me.

“Ah… Really, I’m so…”

I think I had a lot of things I wanted to say just a little while ago.

When he hugged me, no more words came to mind.

“It’s okay.”

What follows the low voice is a gentle pat.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Why is just saying that I worked hard so touching?

I felt like crying, but I didn’t really want to shed tears, so I wrapped my arms around his waist even more tightly.

“Let’s go home.”

I held onto my brother’s outstretched hand that day too.

I asked him not to leave until I fall asleep.

* * *

The next morning.

“Hey…”

A deep sigh naturally flowed from my mouth.

Something happened. Something happened.

Honestly, I knew it was quite dangerous even on the day the incident occurred, but as expected, Luca’s ‘Dad’ clip was heating up the internet community.

Reactions are varied.

If there was a faction that believed and understood what he said, there was a faction that insisted that he was just a boyfriend.

[hahahahaha You can’t come to your senses even after being treated like that. Soups.]

[No. Is it really that bad to find your dad while playing a horror game? Let’s listen again. I sound like a f*cking dad.]

[LOL popcorn is delicious.]

I was scrolling through my phone and watching Luca’s channel on fire, so I called Doa.

Are you okay…?

Given Do-ah’s weak-hearted personality, I don’t think it would be strange if she was shedding tears right now.

Several beeps followed, and then a sullen voice was heard.

[Hello.]

[Uh. Doya.]

[Oppa…]

Hearing my voice, Doa’s voice began to cry, as if the sadness she had been holding in was breaking out.

[Are you okay?]

[Yes…]

[For now, don’t look at the community reaction until the company comes down with guidelines on what to do.]

[I already finished the phone call with the manager earlier.]

I was embarrassed to hear that the call had already ended, so I asked for his reaction.

What came back instead of an answer was a notice to come out.

[…I want to eat ice cream.]

[…Shall I buy it for you?]

[No. I want to go and eat together.]

[Okay. Then I will come to your house in 10 minutes.]

I quickly got dressed and headed up the stairs to Doah’s house.

Doa wearing long padding and a hat.

Because the padding was so long, she looked like a young student wearing her father’s clothes.

“Are you here?”

“…Yes.”

“Let’s go.”

When I held out my hand, she held my hand without saying anything, and we went down her alley and entered the ice cream chain that we frequent.

“Now.”

After receiving and handing over the ice cream she ordered, Doa reached out both her hands and grabbed her cup.

She took a big sip of ice cream and pursed her mouth mischievously as if she wasn’t even cold.

It was that moment when I was wondering if I should bring up the story first.

“…I got scolded.”

Doa spoke first as if she knew what I was thinking.

“You got scolded?”

“Yes.”

When she wiggled her eyebrows as if asking her to elaborate, Doa puffed out her cheeks for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“It wasn’t like I was urging them too directly, but I was cautious. “It will be difficult for me to have any controversy like this while working in the future.”

“Ah… Is that the end?”

“No. “She even asked me if I had a real boyfriend, so she just told me honestly that she did.”

My eyes widened at her answer and I couldn’t help but instinctively raise my voice.

“No! Is it okay for me to say that?”

“Actually, I didn’t really want to say it… I just spoke honestly. “Anyway, there is no clause in the Closer contract that says dating is impossible.”

“I see…”

Should I say that I am fortunate?

How can that be?

I decided to refrain from saying unnecessary things, so instead of speaking, I just held her hand.

“I’m sorry. From now on, I will never be next to you during broadcasts.”

“No. “It’s my fault.”

Doa shakes her head vigorously.

“Probably. Me. “I think her brother would have screamed similarly even if he wasn’t there.”

“Doya…”

“And to be honest, the next thing is a little more depressing…”

Her gaze, which was focused on the hand she was holding tightly, left the window.

As the green village bus departed, noise came through the window.

“Jennifer told me…”

She couldn’t continue her words for a while.
