When I opened my eyes, the first emotion I felt was suffocation.

Not the suffocation of the heart, but real suffocation.

Wondering why it felt so cramped, I struggled to rise and discovered the reason.

It was because Maho and Loa were both sprawled across my bed sleeping.

And with Tenshi wedged in there too… it was no wonder it felt tight.

But what time was it? Looking out the window, it seemed still a bit dark.

Carefully, so as not to wake anyone, I stretched my body as I slipped out.

“Ugh…”

How long had these people been sleeping in my bed? I could feel the stiffness in my body.

What about Anna? Is she broadcasting?

I stealthily headed to the soundproof booth with the door slightly closed, carefully opening it.

“Oh, you see…”

Whoa, she’s in the middle of a broadcast.

But is she doing it all alone while the others are sleeping?

What a sense of responsibility for the eldest sister in the Celestial Realm.

She had mentioned that if things got too hectic, I could wake her up.

Maybe she just had good stamina.

After all, Anna is known for her high stamina in the Celestial Realm.

I carefully approached her and, bam! I grabbed her shoulder.

“Wah!”

“Yikes!”

And just like that, the reaction came shooting out.

…Please tell me the people outside didn’t wake up?

“What, what’s going on? Ah… it’s Miro.”

Anna turned around in surprise and then let out a sigh of relief upon seeing me.

“You startled me.”

“Are you doing well with the broadcast?”

“Uh-huh? Sort of?”

As she said that, I sat in the small chair next to the gaming chair Anna was sitting on.

-What’s this?? Miro is here??

-Miro finally woke up.

-That morning voice tho ㅗㅜㅑ

-You woke up early.

“I was too cramped, so I got up.”

“Cramped? Ah.”

“Why is everyone sleeping in my bed?”

When I asked Anna why they were all sleeping in my bed, she laughed sheepishly as if it were awkward.

“Well, they just lay down to rest for a bit and fell asleep.”

“Oh.”

So they all fell asleep, leaving Anna to stand watch solo?

-ㅠㅜㅠㅜ Where’s the mom?

-That’s my younger sister!

-It’s all Anna huh?

Looking at the chat, it seemed they all agreed.

“Thank you for holding down the fort while broadcasting alone.”

I had told her beforehand that if she got sleepy during the broadcast, she could just sleep, but I’m thankful she stayed up for me.

“Um? Even with such compliments, I’m not getting anything in return.”

“Then I won’t.”

“?!!”

“Just kidding.”

Truly, Anna’s something else. The chat is lively.

Well, being the early morning slot might mean everyone else is asleep, but it seems like Anna’s regular viewers have come in droves.

“By the way, did you have any difficulties while doing the broadcast? I suppose my method of hosting is a bit strange?”

“Honestly, it was better than I thought?”

“Really?”

My viewers have grown so much.

To even have self-control as a guest!

If this were just half a year ago, they wouldn’t have let me off the hook as a guest and would’ve attacked me directly.

“Yeah, surprisingly nice. By the way, what are we having for breakfast?”

“Breakfast?”

“Yeah, what should we make?”

Hmm… breakfast…

I considered the number of people in this house.

Making breakfast for seven people…

“Let’s just order in?”

“What? Why?”

“…It’s a hassle.”

Who’s doing the dishes afterward??

In fact, even making three servings would leave a mountain of dishes.

Now that I mention it, I’ve been putting it off, but I’ll have to do it eventually…

“Wow, I was thinking of cooking a ton…”

But it seemed Anna genuinely wanted to make breakfast.

“Is it possible to make it for seven people?”

Isn’t that a bit too many?

“…It is quite a bit, isn’t it? Where should we order from?”

Again, after considering it, Anna seemed to change her mind.

“There are plenty of places to order from.”

Since this area is mainly housing, there are many places that deliver.

Maho lives nearby too, so she should know at least one good delivery place.

-Gukbap ㄱㄱ

-For breakfast, we should have something like toast.

-ㅆㅂ it’s already breakfast time.

Glancing at the chat, menu suggestions were popping up.

“Toast sounds good. Should we order that?”

“Eh, but toast can be made quickly.”

“Still, it’s a hassle.”

With just a few taps, food gets delivered, so why not just do that?

It’s cold outside lately, so making toast in the kitchen for breakfast is just impossible.

“Ah, fine, then let’s order coffee too.”

“We have coffee at home.”

“…Isn’t ordering coffee a hassle?”

“Ordering coffee is a bit…”

I might be okay with food, but not coffee…

Do we have that much money to just throw around? Huh?

“Just get one for you.”

-For real, LOL.

-Being indecisive makes me want to smack you.

-Can I hit her?

“Hey now, everyone, please show Miro some love. This is my broadcast.”

-When she says it herself, it makes me want to do the opposite tho??

-Just a few words from Miro changed the vibe, look at that haha.

-Oh man, I was just having a good time with Anna.

“Huh? When in Rome, follow Roman law, right?”

Isn’t that how it goes?

When it’s a Miro broadcast, I’m the emperor here.

No matter how much Anna is the host of a show, this is my territory.

Naturally, there should be unconditional support and praise for me, right?

…Well, it’s true Anna came to help because I invited her.

“Yeah, so don’t make Miro uncomfortable.”

“What happens if you say that, huh?”

-Da Anna.

-So Miro.

-Different ranks, ㅇㅇ…

“Oh ho ho, by the way, how were the second-generation students? Two of them came today, right?”

“Second-generation students?”

“Yeah, I just woke up and got here, so I couldn’t watch the broadcast.”

True to Anna’s keen interest in the juniors, she asked about the second-generation students.

Speaking of the second-generation, I’ve only seen two so far…

“I think they’re kinda okay.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, they’re nice and obedient.”

Honestly, if a junior can do just these two things, they’ll get affection from the seniors, right?

In that regard, Seo Eun-ha and Haeil are excellent juniors.

Now that I think about it, the Manager asked me to promote while doing Miro 24.

Wasn’t a group song coming out for the second-generation?

Should I do it now? Or wait until more viewers come in?

“Oh, by the way, do you all know about this?”

Well, I can just do both.

I can’t afford to not promote the juniors, right?

Considering the current viewers will probably be off to bed in the afternoon, saying it now might be better.

-???

-Is something happening?

“You guys have to keep this a secret, okay?”

-Okay, okay.

-Hurry up and tell us.

After increasing their curiosity a bit, I was about to promote the juniors.

However…

“…Good morning.”

I stopped speaking at the sound of a voice coming from behind me and turned around.

Behind me, Haeil and Seo Eun-ha were looking over the opened door of the soundproof booth.

Looks like the juniors who were sleeping in the living room have woken up.

“Hmm… you both woke up.”

“…Yeah.”

Well, it makes sense they’d wake up since I was awake too, so it shouldn’t be surprising for early risers like Haeil and Seo Eun-ha.

The timing was excellent, in fact.

“Okay, everyone, how about the second-generation juniors promote something?”

“Yeah?”

Now that I think of it, isn’t this technically their song?

Since they’re being asked to promote, it seems the recording is already somewhat underway, and they should be able to promote with a bit more passion than I do.

“What… what is it?”

I smiled slightly and answered Seo Eun-ha, who had just woken up and didn’t quite grasp the situation.

“We have something to promote.”

“Oh.”

-???

-Oh no.

-Don’t tell me…

-A song is coming out?

The already observant viewers seemed to have caught onto the situation quite quickly.

Indeed, there’s only one thing the second-generation students could be promoting at this point.

The timing is just right.

“Come on, hurry up.”

I am absolutely not using this to waste time.

It’s just that the timing is good, and I’m giving them a better opportunity.

“Um, well…”

Thus, the morning of the second day of Miro 24 began with the promotion of the second-generation students’ song.

Following that, with the additional guests that came after breakfast, Miro 24 was splendidly concluded.

***

A few days had passed since Miro 24 finished.

For some reason, I received a call from Hyeon-su.

Is this the first time since my birthday?

Well, I’ve been busy with the broadcast, so I hadn’t thought about contacting Hyeon-su or Ah-young.

Besides, he’s been doing really well lately.

How do I know this? Because the news about Hyeon-su keeps arriving in my fan café.

Those crazy Miro fans… they’re halfway there.

“Hello?”

[Yes, sis! How have you been?]

Hearing Hyeon-su’s voice after a while, he sounded really thrilled.

Is something good happening?

“Hey, you sound like you’re doing well.”

[How did you know?]

“Your voice sounds excited, that’s how.”

[Is it that obvious?]

“Of course it is.”

He’s usually not this expressive, so just how good of news could it be?

“So what’s up? You called to boast, right?”

[Huh? Oh, that’s not it…].

Come on, it can’t be anything else when someone calls excitedly like this.

I remember when I got into college, I called my friends right away.

[Ahaha, it’s really not boast-worthy…].

“Spill it.”

Hyeon-su hesitated for a bit despite sounding excited, but under my prodding, he reluctantly began to speak.

[This time, I finally got to do my solo concert. Oh, it’s not that huge, though.]

“Isn’t that amazing? Wow, that’s awesome.”

A solo concert is something only famous singers do, right?

He’s really come a long way.

“Am I getting a ticket?”

I’ve heard that a solo concert is symbolic for singers, so I genuinely wished to congratulate Hyeon-su.

Of course, he’ll give me a ticket, right? Maybe I’ll take Hyejeong after a long time.

As for Maho, it’s better not to go with her due to my eye-catching appearance. I’d rather not risk being discovered since we haven’t been able to meet up outside much lately. Because, who knows, they might recognize me and find out about the other members too.

[Ahaha, why do you talk about it like it’s someone else?]

But Hyeon-su gave me a surprisingly strange response.

“Eh?”

Isn’t he talking about me?

Sure, I have a connection with Hyeon-su, but fundamentally, he’s still someone else.

And I’m not planning to guest appear…

[You promised to be a guest at the concert, remember?]

“Me?”

[…Did you really forget?]

Did I say that?

“Um…”

I might have mentioned it, but…?
