The setting of S#145 is the same place where Lee Hyun and Yeongwol first met in S#1.

Lee Hyun and Yeongwol’s outfits were also almost identical to their attire in S#1.

However, unlike S#1, which had no hint of romance at all.

S#145 was filled from start to finish with the mutual affection between Lee Hyun and Yeongwol.

The deep romantic atmosphere that began with Yeongwol’s unusually proactive actions contrasted with the light tone of S#1, resulting in a stronger emotional line.

Since it had the same setting and clothing as S#1, the differing gazes and expressions stood out even more.

Especially notable was the continuously changing atmosphere of Yeongwol.

“I knew it, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent…”

After showing a series of unfamiliar sides, Yeongwol reached a peak with an alluring smile directed at Lee Hyun, completely captivating my attention in an instant.

Only when Jin Gyuseong’s “Okay” sign was heard could I finally exhale a thick breath.

However, unlike Yoo Seongjae, who couldn’t easily escape the lingering feelings from S#145.

“Are we not doing monitoring?”

“Uh… Ha Eun, you go ahead first. I’ll join you in a bit.”

I couldn’t help but stick out my tongue at Ha Eun, who instantly returned to her calm demeanor, looking entirely different from her alluring aura that had consumed everything around her just moments before.

It had already been four months since the filming of <Moonlight Parted by Clouds> began.

Even though it was time to get used to the unique aspects Ha Eun showed, her ability to control her emotions was still something I couldn’t adapt to.

After that, I silently just watched as Ha Eun retreated into the distance.

Only after some of the lingering feelings that had completely captured Ha Eun’s hands faded could I finally rise.

Soon after, Jin Gyuseong’s question about whether there were parts we wanted to shoot again came through.

So, I gently shook my head and replied that it had been a fulfilling shoot.

However.

“Seongjae.”

“Yes?”

“There’s something on your right shoulder that looks like a grasshopper.”

Due to Jin Gyuseong, who had been tilting his head for some reason since earlier, I ended up learning something I hadn’t wanted to know.

My heart started racing for a different reason than during the S#145 shoot.

*

The next day, almost collapsing due to an uninvited little guest that had climbed onto my shoulder without permission.

“Cut~! Great job!”

The ending scene shoot against the backdrop of a reddish sunset and a vast flower field wrapped up with Jin Gyuseong’s satisfied “Okay” sign.

Thus, all filming for <Moonlight Parted by Clouds> was finally finished.

As the set began to be gradually cleaned up, Ha Eun headed to the dressing room to change back into her original clothes.

However, just as she was about to head home as usual.

“Even so, skipping the wrap party for the last episode would be a no-go.”

Yoo Seongjae appeared with familiar supporting actors and blocked her way.

As a result, Daya, who had just come to meet Ha Eun, also headed to a nearby BBQ restaurant with her.

Before long, an unusual sight awaited, with numerous actors from <Moonlight Parted by Clouds> filling the seats of the BBQ restaurant.

With his unmatched sociability, Yoo Seongjae had been busy contacting everyone even after meeting Ha Eun.

To be honest, it wasn’t a pressuring atmosphere at all.

For Ha Eun, the legitimate main character of <Moonlight Parted by Clouds>, being at the wrap party was quite natural, considering she had been prominent since the premiere of episode 1.

However, due to Ha Eun’s other schedule related to her VTuber broadcasting.

“Hm… I was planning to watch until episode 9 and then leave.”

“I’m sorry. I have an important prior engagement.”

I had to sneak out in the middle of the wrap party instead of watching episode 9 until late with Yoo Seongjae and several other actors.

What surprised me was that Daya, who was sitting next to Ha Eun, also began to prepare to leave the BBQ restaurant.

“Huh? Why are you leaving?”

“The show I showed you last time is starting soon.”

To be honest, I was taken aback.

After Ha Eun sent Daya the channel address for Dia’s stream, I even felt a dizzying sensation as my heart dropped.

Yet, the words that finally came were.

“It’s really fun, so if you can, you should definitely watch it.”

“Uh, okay. I’ll watch it if I can…”

A really strange suggestion telling Ha Eun to watch her own broadcast.

In the end, I couldn’t even send a brief farewell as Daya left in Jin Jinsu’s van, frozen in place until the very last moment.

After a while, upon getting into the black van of Joo Jeongyoon that had arrived in front of Ha Eun.

When Joo Jeongyoon started bombarding Ha Eun with questions about her skinship acting from the preview of episode 9.

“So, did you really kiss Yoo Seongjae?”

“…You’ll find out if you watch the main broadcast…”

Even after almost fleeing from the car once we reached Ha Eun’s house, Joo Jeongyoon’s relentless questions continued until the very end.

‘…Should I just block Daya?’

I seriously contemplated whether or not to add Daya’s ID ‘ekdus7’ to Dia’s blacklist.

If I realized that Daya, who was the closest among Ha Eun’s acquaintances, was watching Ha Eun’s broadcast, I would likely lose my focus entirely.

However, after sticking with Daya since her 18th birthday.

‘Isn’t she just an internet broadcaster? Why’s she so liked?’

‘She’s cute. She does her broadcasts well. Seems like she really cares about her.’

The fact that Dia was a significant figure for Daya also hit me.

-Click.

[Battle Island☆(First Time Playing)]

In the end, I couldn’t even add Daya’s ID to Dia’s blacklist until I started the broadcast.

– Dia

– Battle Island? Is this for real?

– Let’s go with the sniping~ Let’s go with the sniping~ Let’s go with the sniping~ Let’s go with the sniping~ Let’s go with the sniping~

– I guess I should… kidnap… right?

– Dia, the new map is out, go go go, there’s polar bears too!

[User 67889 donated 10,000 won!]

: Does this kid even know what supply is?

[User Jeong Gi-ja Tool donated 10,000 won!]

: 50,000 won if you get chicken on the first game!

Today’s broadcast title and the game Dia would play, <Battle Island>, was an FPS battle royale game.

Because it’s relatively easy to “snipe a streamer” compared to other games, the broadcast chat and donation feed were already buzzing.

Strictly speaking, today wasn’t Ha Eun’s first time playing <Battle Island>.

However, it was Dia’s first time playing <Battle Island>, so.

“Where do you do the tutorial~?”

I planned to start with the boring tutorial to maintain Dia’s RP of “a pure spirit who has just stepped into the human world.”

After a few vibrations were heard right after.

-Oom.

-Oom.

‘…What’s that?’

I briefly muted my microphone.

Unlocking my phone, I accessed the Dream World chatroom, the source of the continued vibrations.

[Lee Yena(Yuna)] – This kiddo… already doing what I couldn’t do..!!

[Park Miso(Mile)] – Oh my gosh!

[Park Miso(Mile)] – Oh my gosh oh my gosh!

[Park Miso(Mile)] – (Blushing lion emoticon)

[Kim Eunhye(Ria)] – Our youngest is super cute!!

[Jeong Maria(Cream)] – Ha Eun, are those real tears? Or are they artificial tears?

I found myself facing the fans of <Moonlight Parted by Clouds> in the chatroom, all getting bashful with their varying opinions as they watched episode 9 in real-time.

Almost simultaneously began the onslaught of emoticons.

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – (Praying otter emoticon)

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – Don’t post those screenshots!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – Please!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – I’m live right now!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – If you have questions, please ask after the broadcast ends.

Both my ears, already red from embarrassment.

My face turning pale in an instant.

Still.

-Oom.

[Lee Yena(Yuna)] – (Screenshot of Lee Hyun & Yeongwol kissing scene 2)

[Lee Yena(Yuna)] – (Screenshot of Lee Hyun & Yeongwol kissing scene 3)

[Lee Yena(Yuna)] – Did their lips touch? Didn’t they touch? There’s no way to tell!!!

[Lee Yena(Yuna)] – Did you have a smooch with Yoo Seongjae or not!!

The reactions only grew more intense, and ultimately.

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – Seongjae’s lips didn’t have any tint on them, you know!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – We didn’t do any smooching!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – It was just a weirdly angled shot!

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – Are we good now??

[Lee Ha Eun(Dia)] – (Enlightened otter emoticon)

Inadvertently recalling a memory I wished to forget, I revealed the truth.

Nevertheless, the calm I had already flown off to the far Andromeda didn’t return until the moment I resumed the broadcast.
