I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

196. The Promised Ending

Doah’s broadcast time gets longer and longer.

It was getting later and later when she returned home.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

4:30 In the morning.

There was not a single person in sight on the street where the cool air hung down.

“Thank you for watching with me until the end… Is it okay if I don’t sleep?”

“I have to go to work tomorrow at 12 o’clock.”

“Thank goodness.”

Doa smiles at the reception.

I felt her fingers wriggling inside my hand.

“Aren’t you going to collapse?”

“I’ll be unemployed in two months, so I’m going to get some sleep then.”

“Bodily injury. “Just watch and do it as you go.”

Her fans were happy because she watched her broadcasts more often and longer, but I, who knew why she did it, just felt sorry for Do-ah.

You probably don’t want to break up.

I want to somehow show myself as a closer.

I want to give you a gift full of happy memories.

What kind of expression will the Pingtuk group make when they find out that their graduation is confirmed?

There were certainly people who were heartbroken like me, and there were also people who brought trucks in front of YM and protested.

Their future actions are completely secret on broadcast.

The rest of her members, including Doah, did not open their mouths as they had been told to do.

“Aren’t you filming tomorrow?”

“That’s right. Do you remember? There is a joint room. Flaw.”

“Let’s go and sleep quickly.”

“Yes.”

I went into bed first and lay down, and Doa, who had just washed, crawled into my arms.

“…One month left.”

“Yes.”

“Her last concert. “It’s going to be a very flashy deal.”

“Really?”

“Of course, I’ll just be in the same studio, messing around with all the equipment… but it’ll still be really cool!”

When Doa said that she was like a girl dreaming, I patted her head as if cheering her on.

“Good. “You should also sing the song I wrote.”

“Ah. Of course. The 3rd album was crazy popular. “If you don’t know this in our country, you are now a spy.”

In fact, whenever we heard Closer’s song at an ice cream chain or a large cosmetics store, we would burst out laughing.

“Is there anything you want to do after Closure is over?”

“Well… I’ll be bored when it’s over.”

“Would you like to go on a trip…?”

“Travel? But I will go only when I have time.”

“Hey. “I’m a freelancer.”

“Ah~ Does someone like that always come home that late?”

“…Even freelancers have to do what they have to do if they are in a hurry.”

“I don’t know. I’ll go and see it then. Since I’ve earned a lot of money, I’ll probably want to do something by then. “At least something I want to buy.”

After she nodded, I hugged her even more tightly.

“Okay. “Then let’s go then and think about what to do this winter.”

“Good.”

Doa kissed me briefly on the lips.

As I had not yet become independent from the team, I was putting more effort into creating individual works.

Just as there is a saying that it takes three years to recite Pungwol, it has already been almost half a year since I started studying next to the teacher.

Now, if you just add the synth for the last time…

The sound of the 1-minute demo clip becomes richer.

It was a sound I really wanted to include, and now I finally had the chance to do it.

“Oh. What.”

“Ome! “Surprise!”

I was leaning forward with my upper body as if I was going to be sucked in front of the monitor. I was startled by the teacher’s voice and turned around.

“Ah! Teacher! “Please knock!”

“I’m not even a middle school student who got caught watching porn, so why go to such lengths?”

“Well… I also have something called privacy.”

“If you think about it that way, I also have the authority of being a boss.”

It was an absurd logic, but it was better to ask about the business first.

“What’s going on?”

“Let’s eat.”

When I checked the time, I laughed out loud.

“Why is it already 1 o’clock?”

“I guess I worked hard. Hey. “Let’s go out.”

At his call, I put on my cardigan and went outside.

The teacher, who had finished smoking, dragged me to a cheap rice bowl restaurant, saying that I should smoke in moderation today.

“Taemin.”

“Yes?”

“Phew… I’m just saying this because I have nowhere to go and talk about it…”

“…Have you finally found a girlfriend?”

I wondered if spring would come to the teacher too, but it seemed not to be the case.

“Nothing. Hey.”

“Then why do you talk so low?”

“Don’t be surprised, just listen.”

“Yes.”

“I mean Closure…”

“Yes.”

“They are really disbanding in November.”

He may have told me that it was a top secret, but I probably heard it the second after the person concerned.

“Ah… that’s a shame…”

“Have you been keeping an eye on other vertubers or idol groups lately? What is that reaction? “Has your affection cooled?”

Doah and I wonder why there are so many complaints about how cool things are these days.

I felt it was a pity that everyone misunderstood it so easily.

“It’s not like that… Everyone knew it was a one-year contract to begin with.”

“Wow. “Recently, every time I watch Leah’s broadcast, I think about that and I can’t concentrate at all.”

“Because of you, I can’t concentrate on Luca’s broadcast anymore.”

I scooped up a piece of chicken with a spoon and answered him with a sad look.

“So… hehehe… I’m thinking of giving it a try. How much should I do?”

“You can do whatever you want, teacher.”

“How much did you do?”

“Don’t do it like me.”

The amount of money that can be donated is a relative thing.

The 10,000 Won I have now and the 10,000 Won I had when I was crazy about Luca’s broadcast felt different.

“Have you ever received payment and returned it?”

“…No.”

I think I bought you a lot of delicious food instead?

The teacher put down his spoon and pointed his finger at me.

“You are a fake fan in my opinion. “This guy always says he likes me, but he has no reaction or action.”

If I explained anything further, it would have been obvious that I was Luca’s boyfriend.

“I am rooting for you in my heart. “In my heart.”

“Or did you get scolded by your girlfriend? “Because you like it so much?”

It was a reasonable suspicion, but the focus was slightly off.

“Yes. “I was scolded.”

“Ugh… I should have been good at tightrope walking. Hey. “They say that the girls forgive everything, but…”

I just ignored his nagging, finished the work I was doing, packed my bags, and left the studio.

Before Doah started broadcasting, she wanted to see her face in person and cheer her on.

I heard that he was working with a famous YouTuber, but it was nice to see him looking nervous alone.

“Doya.”

Inside the house I entered after opening the door.

I didn’t feel any signs of popularity.

I put my bag down on the sofa, took a quick look around the floor, and placed my hand on the bedroom doorknob, which was closed tightly.

Small breathing sounds are heard regularly.

My girlfriend sleeps quietly like a baby.

Doa’s eyes frowned slightly as she stroked her head because she loved that look.

“I’m not talking about it yet…”

“Something doesn’t work.”

“I… I can still… Do more…”

I knew what I was dreaming about without having to tell me.

Ha…

But there wasn’t much I could do.

I joined a well-known company and made songs with famous people.

There was no way to protect the Closer that Doah and I loved.

I didn’t even think of it as the tyranny of a large corporation; it was just destined to happen that way.

Still, I hoped that the song she wrote with all her might would give her strength.

It seemed like that wasn’t enough to postpone the promised ending.

“Doya.”

I don’t think it’s a good dream, so I gently shake her shoulder.

She slowly opens her eyes.

“…Is Eun-je here?”

“Just now.”

“…Hug me.”

This is not a difficult request.

As I bent down her upper body and hugged her, I felt the hot body temperature of her doa on her cheek.

“…I had a bad dream.”

“What was your dream?”

“But the dream… Seemed so real that I was sad…”

I didn’t answer and patted her on the back without saying a word.

“We have to wake up now so we can merge later. “Our Luca Hime.”

“Right… What time is it?”

“It’s a little after 6 o’clock.”

“I need to take a shower.”

Doa raised her body with her messy hair and sat blankly for a moment, then she went into the bathroom.

The sound of water.

After changing into comfortable clothes, I sank down on the sofa with mixed feelings.

Even though I tried not to overindulge, I couldn’t feel at ease because my housemate living next to me was like that.

Doah eats together and heads to the studio.

For no reason, I was in a bad mood, so I walked out the front door with him, saying I would walk him away today.

“Ha! “I need to record the highest viewership for today’s broadcast!”

“Yes! Let’s receive the halo of a large company! We!”

The streamer who decided to merge today is another YouTube giant.

Since he was especially popular with overseas fans, he might have been able to make his name known more widely.

After waving at her in front of her building and telling her to call me when I was done, I turned away and trudged back to her house alone.

I wait for Doa’s broadcast on the big TV screen.

[Ah. Ah. Hello~ Luharuha~]

Why do the props in the background screen where her avatar is sitting look so sad?

A group shot of the members’ avatars hanging on the back wall like a family photo.

Closure’s calligraphy and YM logo remain at the bottom of the chat window.

Even the slightly stupid-looking Pintukdan doll sitting on the shelf.

I just put my hands together and prayed to an unknown god for a miracle to happen.
