“A....”
Aetami was covering her mouth with both hands, crying. It felt too sad to let the two of them go like this. Even though it was definitely a happy ending, Aetami was the only one left behind and miserable.
“No! It ends like this? Give more! More!!!”
Aetami quickly left a comnt. Thanks to people who had comnted before her, the number of comnts had already crossed a thousand.
-Ah wtf TT_TT why are you cutting it HERE who told you you could
-This was... such a....beautiful...story.... (give more)
-Who cries at shit like this lolol so childish lolol who would cry lolol huh? lolol who lolol
˪The comnts are already soaked
-Please don’t end our mint-choco-lon-bread here it was so yummy T_T
Input: Hey this is insane ah... my heart literally exploded right now
After leaving her comnt, Aetami ssaged Deduck B. Their chat window was already overflowing violently with TT_TT.
[Yeoreum-ah.... you’re my sumr.... unnie cried right now got overwheld laughed got moved went back and forth... take responsibility]
Deduck B, whose na was Wi Jaehwi, had also completely fallen for Han Yeoreum. They had known ever since doing the interview with her a while back.
Input: This seriously needs to be preserved as a reaction video
[Agreed. It’d be hilarious if we all giggled watching ep 1 and then sobbed together at the finale]
Input: You do it. Beco a reaction Intuber, gather subscribers, and let’s quit our jobs
[Corrupt bastard.... you don’t have even a drop of sincerity for Yeoreum]
“I liked her first!!!”
Aetami shouted. Ah, it was so fun. It had been a long ti since a drama left her this satisfied all the way to the ending. Out of habit, Aetami opened Yeoreum’s SNS.
“Huh? She’s doing a live!!!”
A live broadcast had started.
* * *
It had been one of the major types of content on Intube before regression.
‘A celebrity’s honest, unfiltered live.’
The so-called off-the-record style. A friendly, casual vibe in front of the audience had been the trend.
Intube
[Shall we play like the first ti♥︎ First-train Live]
So Intube channels did drinking-style livestreams.
Intube
[No one’s going ho today.... Pajama Parties]
Others put on pajamas and hung out at soone’s house, talking all day long. Natural, uncurated content was extrely popular.
‘That’s why I chose a live broadcast.’
There was no better way to pull in Joo Junseo’s SNS followers. And unlike other dramas, this one didn’t release making videos or behind-the-scenes footage.
‘I can’t stay Pi Chaewon forever.’
What if people only know as Pi Chaewon? Having a signature character is good, but I have zero intention of getting swallowed by one.
“Hello. Is this thing working? This is my first ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) ti turning on a live.”
I waved awkwardly with a small laugh. Sitting right next to , Joo Junseo and Choo Gaeul also waved.
-What the hell are you guys drinking together? TT_TT
-Pi Chaewon... you... who told you to act that well who told you to be that cute who told you to be my woman
-It’s Yeoreum~~~ hi hi~~~
In an instant, 120 people joined. They were the ones who had notifications for my SNS turned on. Gaeul opened her mouth.
“Yes! This is the wrap-up party. The final episode has just ended. Did everyone enjoy it?”
Is she a forr MC or sothing? Why is she so naturally good at this? Thanks to Choo Gaeul steering the mood, the comnts were full of reactions to the final episode of .
‘Good flow.’
It would be awkward if it shifted too much into personal chatter. Director Jang laughed as he read the comnts.
“‘You make us cry and then ask if we had fun?’ ‘Give us the epilogue right now.’ Hahaha. Thank you so much. Ah~ we would love to film an epilogue too. But first, our writer...”
“What...? Epilogue....”
The writer, flustered by the sudden demand, seed to short-circuit.
“Well, what I was thinking was... sothing K-academy-drama cliché-like... Jun and Chaewon would go to the study room together... join the school band club.... Chaewon would tease Jun saying, ‘You like shoujo manga, right?’ and then they’d open a random shoujo manga and inside it... Hina’s life once again.... I think I’m talking too much....”
-The writer serving the epilogue themselves is crazyㅠ
-Please let’s do a K-high-teen version too
-junseo oppa :) hi
-fk my saliva is pooling
“Okay! For the next spin-off, I really hope we get a story where Gaeul-nim is the main character. Right?”
“Oh, I’d be so grateful if you’d let . I loved being Hina again this ti.”
Director Jang jumped in again to rescue the flustered writer. By then, over a thousand viewers had joined. Real-ti viewers: 1,728.
‘There’s the notification...!’
Hearts were rising nonstop across the screen. Viewers kept tapping them.
“Our Jun, how was it filming the ending scene for the last episode? The comnts are asking how you held back tears.”
Quiet until now, Joo Junseo opened his mouth.
“I didn’t feel tears.”
“Wow~ cold-hearted~!”
The staff in the back jeered playfully. Joo Junseo briefly bit his lower lip before continuing.
“Because we’re going to et again anyway.... And if the other person is crying, I have to comfort them. If I cry with them, what then?”
At those words, the staff and the comnt section exploded.
-What?? What did he just say? what?? huh?
-mlb my contact lenses are sticking to my eyes~!!!!!
“thod~!!!!”
“Ohhhh~!!!! Joo Junseo~!!!!”
Everyone was drunk, so the volu was insane. Comnt speed was incomparable to earlier.
-Did you two get a lot closer while filming? Like Jun and Chaewon?
Maybe he read the sa comnt as because Joo Junseo answered at the sa ti.
“Yes. At that café in episode 4....”
“Hey~ sky-like senior....”
A brief silence fell before the staff burst into roaring laughter.
On the screen, Joo Junseo slowly turned his head and stared directly at .
-lollllll mlb lens please take them out T_T the awkwardness is killing
-Guess they’re not close T_T LOLOLOL ha... I hope they get closer
-Episode 4 café scene? And then what? What?? Tell us too let us join in
Thankfully, Choo Gaeul rushed in like a relief pitcher.
“We all got together and watched episode 4. It’s more fun when you watch it with everyone like this.”
“Invite next ti~”
“Director... you can’t join when the kids are hanging out....”
Just then, the viewer count shot up explosively. The comnts beca so fast they looked like an error. It was hard to read.
“Why are so many viewers suddenly joining?”
“Four thousand... no, now five thousand....”
While everyone panicked, the viewers answered in the comnts.
-We’re #1 on real-ti trending LOLOLOL
Director Jang jumped up screaming. None of us had expected this. Even I couldn’t believe it.
“Number 1?!”
Staff mbers imdiately opened their phones to check.
“1... 1st place!!! It broke 1 million! The views just passed 1.15 million!!!”
It made no sense. It had only been one hour since the final episode was uploaded.
‘A million people watched it in that ti?’
Not even a day—just one hour. Goosebumps ran up my neck. Hearts continued to soar endlessly on the screen.
-It was really amazing TT_TT can’t you upload a last-last-last epilogue please
-My tiny precious Nick-and-Judy... please don’t go TT_TT don’t say it ends here
Director Jang couldn’t hold back his emotion and cried.
“Don’t! Cry!”
“Don’t! Cry!”
Staff clapped rhythmically, filling the restaurant with sound. When Gaeul and I joined in, Joo Junseo followed quietly. The live continued for another 30 minutes. From initial setup, to how we built the characters, to final impressions.
“Until now, this was the team! Thank you!”
The live broadcast ended successfully. The response was incredible.
Even lying on the bed afterward, my heart pounded at the cheers I’d never received before in my life.
I wanted to rush straight to a set and start filming again. Everything was going smoothly.
[Hey do you just randomly call soone who’s uncomfortable with you and force them to join your table at a café with your friend? I waited to see if you’d explain yourself but you never did not even to the end does this make sense what ‘sky-like senior’? ...see more]
...Except for Joo Junseo. I received multiple long ssages from him. I finally resolved it after sending about eight groveling emojis.
“Still, thanks, Junseo....”

“Not Pi Chaewon—Han Yeoreum!”
I kicked my legs in the air on the bed. My chest was too full for sleep.

“Oh—Jeha, you ca?”
“Hello.”
Myeong Jeha smiled as he opened the door of the Japanese restaurant. Judging by how flushed their faces were, everyone seed fairly drunk already.
“Co on, drink up—bottoms up—.”
Myeong Jeha turned his head aside and downed a shot of soju. He disliked middle-aged n, and drunk middle-aged n even more, but he had no choice.
“Director Gong. I heard you finished the script? Congratulations.”
Because Director Gong was here tonight. A few days ago, he had heard that Director Gong had talked about Han Yeoreum.
As soon as he heard the news, Jeha had called Director Gong.
“Director, it’s . Jeha.”
