<ATX awards ceremony, Mollu's guerrilla date was successful for someone, LOL>
First of all, me, LOL
ㅇㅇ: The real thing is amazing, the camera can’t capture even half of what reality is.
ㅇㅇ: What? Is Mollu really coming?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Yeah, she came, signed autographs, took pictures, shook hands, and hugged.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: You’re lying.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: It’s real, Mollu’s fan, LOL. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I wasn’t going thinking she wouldn’t come…
<Hehe... I'm a Mollu fan who got a hug from Mollu>
(Photo proof jpg.)
She was so pretty in real life that I was speechless ㅠㅠㅠ Just seeing her face made me happy, but then she suddenly came over, signed, took pictures, and when I asked if I could hug her, she suddenly hugged me, and I was heart-fluttering ㅠㅠ
It wasn’t even a formal fan meeting, so I wouldn’t have had anything to say if she just left, but she did this fan service, so I was like, wow ㅠㅠㅠ
She looks like an ice queen but seems really kind ㅋㅋ I will definitely keep watching her broadcasts!
ㅇㅇ: Why is this happening?
ㅇㅇ: Wow, I’m so jealous.
ㅇㅇ: A high school Mollu fan, LOL ㅅㅂ How does the world work?
ㅇㅇ: There are many female fans of the moderator too.
ㅇㅇ: Mollu only hugged her, I was so jealous I almost died.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The rest were all guys anyway.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: For real, if she had hugged a guy, it would have been chaos; the moderator handled it well.
ㅇㅇ: Why did my mom have to give birth to me as a guy? If I were a girl, I could have hugged the moderator, held hands freely, and took close pictures.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Thailand, go.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Transgender Mollu fan…
<I'm really so unfair, LOL>
A few days ago, I, a Mollu fan, said that there was a high chance Mollu would show up at the awards ceremony.
But on the day itself, I was too busy to go and never imagined such a generous event would happen.
I’m really so jealous, jealous, jealous, d*mn jealous.
ㅇㅇ: Idiot, LOL.
ㅇㅇ: I saw your post, bought a train ticket, and came, thanks ㅎㅎ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: d*mn…
ㅇㅇ: Post more photos, you bastards.
ㅇㅇ: LOL, there are none, Mollu fan.
ㅇㅇ: Do you think they will post willingly?
<Legendary shot from today’s Mollu awards ceremony for those who want to see the moderator but couldn’t>
Actually, it’s clickbait, LOL.
So what are you gonna do? What can you do?
You little loser, LOL.
Mollu came to the awards ceremony, and the lucky fans who waited in advance got to take photos and get autographs, but what can they do except get angry and downvote every post and comment angrily, you d*mn loser, LOL.
ㅇㅇ: d*mn, you b*stard.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Are you angry? LOL If you were mad, you should have come to the awards ceremony.
ㅇㅇ: LOL, look at the downvotes, the performance is solid.
ㅇㅇ: I feel resentful for rushing in just in case there are any shots I could have missed…
ㅇㅇ: The trolling is killing me, you crazy person, LOL.
ㅇㅇ: Mollu fans missing the chance to meet the moderator, getting angry and downvoting every post, LOL.

“So, you accepted all of that?”
“Not everyone, just a few noticeable ones.”
“Wow, the fans struck gold today. Isn’t it almost a fan meeting at that level?”
This was Tex’s question as he munched on a corn chip.
It was a story about the surprise fan meeting that took place at the award ceremony. Ryu-a, who was listening alongside Tex, interjected.
“To think Ji-eun is surprisingly weak against those she likes. It’s the same this time, and even last time when we went out…”
In Ryu-a’s view, Mollu seemed like a weak person who couldn’t easily refuse requests from others.
“You’ve benefitted from that quite a bit, yet you talk like this?”
“…That’s true.”
It hit the mark. Ryu-a occasionally used her understanding of Mollu’s personality to push her toward her own preferences.
Even when talking seemingly thoughtlessly, Tex sometimes hit the story’s context like this. Ryu-a’s face turned red from the unexpected counterattack.
“You’re dating Papijoa too! You thief!”
“Pfft!”
Then she blurted that out.
While joking around, Tex, who was gulping down corn chips and draft beer, seemed to choke slightly.
“You, how did you know…?”
This was a fact that only Tex and Papijoa knew, making it clear that Ryu-a had caught on to it precisely.
“I can tell just by looking. It’s obvious. Don’t underestimate a woman’s intuition.”
“Anyway, why is that coming up now…?”
Tex scratched his head awkwardly and shifted his gaze around. The end of his gaze landed on a corner of the spacious shop.
Streamer Papijoa. Currently, she was over there, taking a call.
She was smiling and laughing as she spoke while her ponytail swung gently behind her, and when she caught Tex’s gaze, she shyly smiled and greeted him with her eyes.
Indeed, for those who knew the backstory, that smile carried a different significance.
Tex, in response, gave a slight smile and signaled back to her.
“Ugh, your expression just now was pretty perverted, bro.”
“…What are you talking about? And thief? We’re only six years apart… Well, I can’t say that. But that’s not too bad, right?”
“A 30-something thief who snatched a bright 20-something girl, Tex.”
Tex and Ryu-a, possibly due to living close and having similar personalities, always had a playful banter when they met.
That’s why, whether during the early days of this team or in broadcasts, they had a notable chemistry. Regardless of their intentions, it often created a romantic atmosphere around them.
Many of their viewers also thought there was something going on between them.
Ultimately, though, they ended up with someone else.
“Really, I was just a smokescreen. Streamers are all like that. They pretend to be with someone on screen but are actually dating someone else behind the scenes. I’m just a tool, a tool.”
“Did you like me? If you did, I’m sorry. You’re not my type.”
“What are you talking about? You’re not my type either.”
The humorous chit-chat briefly continued until Cheol-woo, who had gone to the restroom, returned and showed interest in the new topic.
“What? Are you dating Papijoa?”
“They say they are dating.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, well, I was trying to keep it a secret, but…”
Tex asked for confidentiality with an awkward expression.
“Bro, you know? If this gets out, half of Papijoa’s viewers will be gone.”
It was the unavoidable sadness of a female streamer.
Unless you aim to establish the image of a cheerful streamer, someone akin to a celestial clown where romantic hints are unthinkable, even if you do, it’s inevitable that fans will develop similar feelings for streamers. This is fundamentally due to the male-dominated nature of internet broadcasting.
Let alone, Papijoa, in her prime, was visually appealing enough, meeting and exceeding all prerequisite conditions.
If they admitted to dating, it was clear they would face considerable difficulties in their broadcasts for a while.
“You know, right? How many years I have in broadcasting? But so far, from my experience, it’s not the proximity of insiders that leads to being caught, it’s more about daily behavior. Like getting caught on a date by a fan and having a post about it go up in the community.”
“I’ll have to be as careful as possible; I don’t think I can hide it for life.”
Tex nodded in agreement.
“But isn’t this inter-office romance? Dating within the Mollu circle. Can Mollu allow this?”
At Cheol-woo’s playful question, the woman, who had kept her mouth shut, finally spoke.
Just as the name “Mollu circle” couldn’t be denied, Mollu was at the center of this group.
However, she preferred listening to others’ stories rather than talking about herself and only answered what was directed at her.
“…I told you not to use the term Mollu circle.”
Even while controlled by Ryu-a, Mollu, seemingly slightly intoxicated, opened her eyes widely for a moment.
“Oh dear, I’m getting old, so I forgot. I’m sorry.”
“You don’t even look that old…”
“When you reach my age, you’ll get confused even about the lunch you had yesterday.”
Making age-related self-deprecating jokes, Mollu no longer had anything more to say.
Cheol-woo added cheerfully.
“Anyway, what do you think about it?”
“What about?”
“The relationship between Papijoa and Tex.”
Mollu paused for a moment, then turned her gaze. She glanced at Tex once and then looked over at Papijoa.
“They suit each other well; I hope they date for a long time. Fighting!”
“Yay…”
Then she said this. A response so flat it could be described as lifeless that Tex responded weakly to.
As the leader of the Mollu circle, romance is prohibited-. Cheol-woo was hoping for a funnier response, feeling disappointed as he licked his lips.
Mollu’s mouth curled up slightly, and then she suddenly said this.
“That’s why, Tex! You recently started dating, didn’t you?”
“…What? Why?”
Tex felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety and asked back.
“Just a little while ago, when you were seeing me, you kept eyeing me subtly. You didn’t do that today at all. I wondered why, but if you have a girlfriend, that makes sense.”
While casually munching on peanuts as a side dish, Mollu delivered her statement, causing Tex to flail his arms in denial.
“Y-Yeah? When did I do that? What are you talking about…!”
“Wow, bro. I didn’t see that coming. Did you secretly steal glances? That’s creepy, creepy.”
“Well, it’s understandable because you’re in your prime. Today’s a scary world, Tex. You could end up at the police station if you look at someone wrong.”
With cold eyes, Ryu-a watched, shaking her head alongside Cheol-woo who had crossed his arms.
Tex, feeling unjustly accused, shouted.
“Mollu, please say something!”
In response to his plea, Mollu slowly took a sip of the cola in front of her instead of the beer and said with a refreshing expression.
“I was just joking, it’s all a lie.”
Tex muttered in disbelief at her bright and unblemished smile.
“Who jokes like this…”
