After the delightful interlude event, there was a normal period of interaction with fans.
Fans really are such peculiar people; they were completely thrilled just by the opportunity to ask me the questions they’ve been curious about while simply looking at my face.
It felt almost like an online fan meeting, didn’t it?
The atmosphere was really good.
In fact, there was no reason for it not to be good.
In the first place, the members who passed such absurd questionnaires were pretty entertaining.
Moreover, most of my fans here seem to have liked me precisely because I’m quirky.
There weren’t so many people either, so instant responses and reactions made the coordination incredibly smooth.
For some reason, every witty answer I didn’t intend to give caused an uproar of laughter.
What? Just sitting quietly and proceeding with Q&A for about two hours evoked this level of response?
Honestly, even now, I don’t fully understand why it was so well-received.
The question asked the most unexpectedly was about what I usually do in my daily life.
When I asked why they were curious, they said it was because there were no sightings of me whatsoever.
Once you become a star, you’re bound to have some form of sighting. But there wasn’t a single mention of my existence.
So, I decided to just be honest.
I explained that I usually don’t leave my accommodation or the company.
To which everyone surprisingly reacted with both amazement and delight.
They remarked that this must mean I have complete immunity to scandals and dating rumors.
However, since the fans were overly enthusiastic, I didn’t mention that Heavenly Yuah and Moon Suyeon also live at my place.
I was a bit nervous thinking that not just me but also Heavenly Yuah’s or Moon Suyeon’s fans wouldn’t just sit idly by if they knew.
Would the fans still have been this excited if they found out this fact about me?
Truly, I’m not sure.
Even though both are popular stars exuding fatal charm, they still just live at the company, but I worried that people might think of something strange.
Considering the structure of our office apartment, anyone could interact with us at any moment if they decided to, so I feared things could escalate into chaos.
Whatever happens, I think it’s best to keep this hidden.
—
“Hey! You idiot!”
“What is it? You came out of nowhere.”
“Don’t act like you didn’t know! Everyone knows now.”
“Burned what precisely?”
“You know some of my fans are among your fans, idiot!”
—
At that very moment after a pleasant online fan meeting, our clumsy guy contacted me and was lashing out his frustration.
I naturally responded with some nonsense at first, but from his tone, it was evident he’d figured it all out.
Was it that one of the online fans, who were connected with me during the time when I made my donation, told this guy everything?
Honestly, I was startled.
How could my perfect crime be uncovered like this?
I recalled a fan who was surprisingly knowledgeable about PMC’s affairs. Turns out, it was a fan who followed not just me but also Pentaring.
Yeah, that’s reasonable.
Fandom doesn’t always revolve around just one person, and it all fits together.
—
“So what? What do you want to do about it?”
“Hey! What’s with your confident tone?”
“Our fans really enjoyed it. I should be thanking you for giving them such a good story. Why are you making an issue out of this?”
“Wow, what a…”
—
I was momentarily caught off guard by the unexpected discovery but then realized I had no reason to feel intimidated.
The mood was better than I expected.
As befitting the top Pentaring fans who voted highest in the poll, they’re very broad-minded and open.
Watching the genuine expressions of the Pentanol members stop their eating streams was delightful.
If another person had done it, the situation could be different, but no fan out there is unaware of the bond between me and this clumsy guy.
This, in all honesty, was just a lighthearted event to laugh off.
—
And honestly, it was fine for me too.
Perhaps this was better after all.
Getting punched by someone you don’t know is one thing, but getting hit by someone who dislikes you leaves a far worse impression.
If I hadn’t known who the perpetrator was, I would have just brushed it off thinking it was some crazy person.
Since I do know, I’ll be boiling mad and won’t be able to sleep properly.
So, in this case, it’s best to just enjoy throwing shade at him.
Plainly speaking, what can he do?
—
“And what’s with that nickname? Pentanol Love? How do you know that?”
“How do I know what? That nickname ‘Pentanol Love’? Maybe it’s a typo.”
“…A typo? A typo that just happens like that? Are you expecting me to believe that?”
“What do you mean? Seriously, I don’t understand you.”
“Only our fandom knows about that. There’s no reason you’d randomly go to our fan site. You seriously didn’t…”
“Our mom. I’m hanging up.”
“Wha… What? Hey!”
—
Hehe. Victory is mine.
What can he do now, calling me “our mom”? What would he do, yell at me?
Seeing this clumsy guy lose his words made me feel refreshed.
—
“But this guy, damn, he’s sharp. Did he really notice?”
—
The thing is, this guy is sharper than I anticipated. He knows that I had no reasonable cause to visit his fan site.
It’s suspicious that I, who have no reason to access his fan site, know about Pentanol’s related issues.
From those clues, he’s suspecting if I’m perhaps the one who posted the Pentanol entry.
What an incredible sense, almost like an animal’s intuition.
—
“This is something I can’t reveal yet. We’ll have a new shade-throwing session later.”
—
Actually, even if it came out now, it wouldn’t cause significant issues, but I’d rather keep this hidden for now.
Isn’t it better to enjoy it in a more enduring way rather than blowing everything in one go?
Once they realize I’m the main character of Pentanol, they’ll undoubtedly go berserk like crazy dogs, and we can’t waste such an exciting event.
—
I rudely cut off the conversation, so while he may suspect, he won’t be certain.
He might think it couldn’t have gone that far.
I must carefully consider when and how to make the revelation.
—
“White Siu directly watched Pentaring’s first streaming and left comments with supportive messages under the name of ‘Seohyeon and a handsome sibling.'”
—
It even made headlines about the story between me and the clumsy guy.
I was once again reminded of how idle journalists in our country are.
Moreover, it was laughable how the article was framed. They blurred the nickname and the donation amount and fabricated a story that I supported my clumsy friend through the fan comments.
Those fans who were present at the event would surely shake their heads in disbelief.
—
“White Siu ♡ White Ha-young Displays Unwavering Fondness.”
—
Some journalists really lost it.
Judging from the title, it felt like a dating rumor.
Is this guy insane?
Despite the content referring to me as a warm sibling, they were clearly trying to bait clicks with that title.
Honestly, these people are something else.
—
Ultimately, the incidents between me and the clumsy guy reached even those who weren’t fans, but the reaction wasn’t bad.
There was no backlash for interrupting the idol’s streaming with a prank since it’s understood that we’re blood-related mates.
The general impression seemed largely positive. It appears the understanding and empathy towards blood-related mates here aren’t too shallow.
—
“Pentaring will definitely be linked in some way in the future, but it seems the online fan meeting was better than expected. It was a pretty good attempt, I think.”
“Is that so?”
“It would be great if you could, in the future, inform the company of such things in advance. If you had, we wouldn’t have had such ridiculous articles.”
“That makes sense. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this either.”
—
The company also gave a positive evaluation.
The fact that I’d undertaken activities without mentioning anything to the company was nothing new.
Yet, maybe due to growing tolerance, the company didn’t seem particularly shocked.
They just made a very reasonable request to be informed beforehand, so I promised to do so in the future.
I didn’t enjoy seeing bizarre articles first, so it was a relief to have this agreement.
—
“I think we had a similar agreement in the past…”
—
Well, as long as we adhere to it moving forward, isn’t that fine?
It’s healthy to forget small matters quickly.

After the online fan meeting event ended, I had a discussion with Heavenly Yuah.
It was about her fan meeting.
This meeting was supposed to have happened earlier, but it was postponed due to her personal circumstances, which gave me the chance to join the fan club and participate in the online fan meeting.
—
“Are you feeling any better?”
“Yes, but my head still hurts a bit.”
“Is that so… What did the doctors say?”
“They haven’t found anything wrong yet.”
“Ah, I see…”
—
I’m unsure whether the shock of the bet was so intense, or if there were other reasons, but Heavenly Yuah had suffered for several days.
Even though she appears delicate, in reality, she is incredibly resilient. Seeing her incapacitated for days showed that it wasn’t a minor issue.
She even refused visits, preferring solitude.
Judging by the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like an act, but it’s uncommon for her to behave this way, so I was somewhat worried.
Especially since the hospital didn’t detect any signs either, and she still experiences persistent headaches.
—
But we couldn’t delay the scheduled events just for this.
Today’s meeting happened because the fan meeting’s schedule is approaching.
—
Heavenly Yuah doesn’t look entirely well, even outwardly.
In such cases, it’s better to cater to her preferences.
Heavenly Yuah has no reason to put on a show like this when she’s always confident.
—
“Are you considering inviting me to the fan meeting?”
“Yes, but not just you, Suyeon will also be invited.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“I’m planning two events. You’ll be involved in the second one.”
—
Heavenly Yuah was considering inviting me and Moon Suyeon to her fan meeting.
She plans a joint dance performance with Moon Suyeon and a one-act play with me.
It’s less of a scripted play; rather, it involves using the two main characters from last year’s most popular drama, “Gold Rush, Joseon” — Violet and Lee Myung, for a short performance.
—
“Lee Myung, true. Fans of Yuah would indeed want to see Violet’s costume. It’ll be fun.”
“Exactly? I’m glad you like it.”
—
Especially since Violet was a character that Yang Yuli designed specially for Heavenly Yuah, making it her signature role.
Even I was amazed the first time I saw Heavenly Yuah in Violet’s costume.
For her fans, seeing Heavenly Yuah in Violet’s outfit will surely be more impactful than any cosplay. They’re bound to enjoy it immensely.
—
“And what kind of dance will you be performing?”
“That part, I entrusted it to Suyeon. She knows how to choreograph dances. Though I did contemplate hiring an external choreographer, it just didn’t feel right.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“Anyway, it’s our stage, and since it involves both me and Suyeon, I expect it to be a very feminine performance.”
“Whatever it is, it’s bound to be legendary. Just the collaboration of Suyeon and Yuah is sure to be iconic.”
—
If there’s one solo dance female singer who can be considered GOAT-level legend, it’s Moon Suyeon. And Heavenly Yuah is a dancing machine who uses her body very well.
The brief dance she performed during the year-end award stage was enough to convey her deep expertise.
Dancing isn’t unfamiliar territory for Heavenly Yuah either, as she has shown it during past fan meetings and even appeared in a dance movie.
No matter how it turns out, it’s bound to be something worth watching.
