Chapter 115: Verdia-chan is Coming to Korea!

Ｒｅａｄ ｏｎ ＫａｔＲｅ​ａｄｉｎｇＣａｆ​ｅ

W-why is Verdia-chan in my stream…?!

Well, it’s not strange for her to be watching.

I also watch the other members’ streams whenever I get the chance.

But why did she have to show up at this moment!

Of all times, during the most embarrassing moment!

“V-Verdia-chan. Hello…”

[Verdia] – Hi!

[Verdia] – Our fans told me that Lulu is doing something so cute

[Verdia] – So I came here. Very very cuteeeeeeee!

“Th-thank you…”

Sniffle.

Of course, I’m grateful that she visited, but…

Why did you have to do this, Verdia-chan’s viewers?

[Verdia] – Oh, and I want to tell Lulu something

[Verdia] – Can I talk to you for a moment?

“Y-yes.”

Suddenly, she wants to talk? What’s going on?

Feeling that something unusual is happening, I stuttered but nodded.

At the same time, a Discord call came through.

【Oh! Merry Christmas, Lulu-chan, and Cherries. How have you been?】

“Verdia-chan is asking how the Cherries have been.”

• Oh.
• She’s asking about us too, LOL.
• Verdia-chan, hi hi.
• Hi!!!!
• Hello.

Her slightly low voice contrasted with her high energy, and I felt like I was seeing Ra-hee unnie as I relayed her message.

The Cherries were also very grateful that Verdia-chan hadn’t forgotten them.

Some Cherries, even with their clumsy English, managed to greet Verdia-chan.

【Verdia-chan, Merry Christmas too. But why did you call so suddenly? Is something up?】

【Yeah, actually, I’m planning to come to Korea tomorrow. So, I was wondering if I could meet Lulu-chan.】

【W-what, you’re coming to Korea…?!】

• OMG.
• Verdia-chan is coming to Korea?
• Let’s have an offline meetup~

Since there are quite a few viewers who understand English, they were also very surprised by Verdia-chan’s announcement.

Of course, I was too.

Why is Verdia-chan suddenly coming to Korea? What’s going on?

Is it just for tourism?

Or maybe for work?

【What brings you here so suddenly?】

【Well, I want to hang out with Lulu-chan! How about we go on a cozy date, just the two of us?】

【A d-date…?】

• OMO.
• This is totally a date.
• It’s not an offline meetup, it’s an offline pa… cries

Maybe because Verdia-chan’s choice of words was too direct, the chat was instantly flooded with “OMO.”

I was just as flustered.

Of course, it’s not wrong to call it a date if it’s just the two of us hanging out.

【I-I’m fine with it, but… what if I said I was busy?】

【Then I would’ve just hung out with the other members.】

【Ah, so the company members are coming too.】

Well, it’s not like Verdia-chan would come without any plans.

I guess the main purpose is to tour with the members, and she’s just meeting me while she’s here.

That’s fine with me.

We’ve done collabs before, and I’ve been wanting to repay Verdia-chan for that.

Especially since we still chat occasionally, and she’s always shown a lot of interest in Korean food.

So, if I get the chance, I wanted to introduce her to some Korean food, and this works out perfectly.

【Then let me know when Verdia-chan is free, and I’ll adjust my schedule.】

【Oh, really?! Thank you! My love!】

【Hehe…】

As always, Verdia-chan is so unreserved with her expressions.

Even Ra-hee unnie dotes on me, but not to this extent.

It makes me feel like I’m a really important person when I talk to her.

It’s a little embarrassing, though.

“So, Cherries, sorry, but I’ll have to take a day off soon. Can you understand?”

• Yeah.
• Of course.
• I’ll send you off with tears in my eyes…
• Ice Age 1-year reservation, lol.

A year? Everyone’s exaggerating so much.

It’s just one day without seeing me.

Anyway, I’m glad they understand.

【I’ve gotten permission from the Cherries, so it should be fine. Let’s meet soon, Verdia-chan.】

【Yeah, thank you so much. Lulu-chan, and Cherries.】

• You’re welcome.
• You’re welcome to come.
• I want to go on a date with Lulu-chan too…
• I’m so jealous of Verdia-chan.

And so, while receiving the Cherries’ envy, Verdia-chan said she’d discuss the details via message and ended the Discord call.

“Cherries, I’ll wrap up for today. Have a good Christmas night, and see you tomorrow.”

• ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
• Don’t go…
• Goodnight, Lulu-chan.
• AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Since there wasn’t much time left until the end of the stream, I chatted for a bit and then said goodbye to the Cherries.

As usual, the Cherries tried to stop me from leaving, but I, the great Da-jeong, am not someone who gets swayed so easily by such things.

After all, if there’s a meeting, there must be a parting!

Even if it’s just a one-day parting!

“Hey, we had a lot of fun today, right? Cherries, since it’s Christmas, don’t stay up too late and get some good sleep, okay?”

• Yep.
• If Lulu-chan is going to sleep, then I should too…
• My phone’s broken, so I’ll just mess with it until I fall asleep.
• I’ll poke Lulu-chan’s cheeks in my dreams.

They even want to meet me in their dreams.

How serious are they, really?

But more importantly, why is everyone so obsessed with my cheeks?

It’s not like there’s anything special about them.

Sure, they’re a bit stretchy, but that’s about it.

“Alright then, Bye-lu!”

• Bye-lu.
• Bye-bye.

With a small question lingering in my mind, I ended the stream.

Today, I didn’t even bother surfing the web. I turned off the computer right away and flopped onto the bed.

It’s not like I planned to play with my phone until I fell asleep.

I just wanted to look for a restaurant to go to with Verdia-chan.

Since I don’t eat out much unless I’m with the members, I’m pretty clueless about this kind of thing.

Wait, no.

I don’t even need to search the internet. I can just ask the members.

This is what collective intelligence is all about!

[Me] – Hey, is everyone free right now?

[Yuna] – What’s up, Da-jeong?

[Jia unnie] – Yeah, I’m done streaming, so I’m free.

[Ra-hee unnie] – Me too.

Since my and Chae-yoon unnie’s streaming times are usually the longest, the other members were probably on their phones or computers.

The fact that they all replied within a minute of me sending the message proves it.

[Me] – Do you know any good places to eat with a friend? Preferably somewhere quiet.

So, I cautiously asked for a good restaurant recommendation, and…

[Yuna] – ?

[Jia unnie] – ?

[Ra-hee unnie] – ?

[Chae-yoon unnie] – What’s going on?

For some reason, everyone seemed suspicious and confused.

In the midst of this, Chae-yoon unnie, who had just joined, asked what was going on.

But I couldn’t answer.

Because I didn’t know why they were reacting like this either.

[Ra-hee unnie] – Who’s this friend you’re talking about?

[Yuna] – Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?

[Jia unnie] – Da-jeong…?

[Chae-yoon unnie] – Wait, is Da-jeong going on a date?

In an instant, the group chat became chaotic, and I blinked, wondering if I had done something wrong.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I hadn’t done anything wrong.

It’s not like asking for a good restaurant is a problem, right?

Anyway, a date…

Well, it is a date, I guess.

Not the romantic kind, though.

Verdia-chan also called it a date.

[Me] – Yes!

[Me] – It’s a date!

[Jia unnie] – (Despairing emoji)

[Ra-hee unnie] – (Emoji grabbing someone)

[Yuna] – You’re lying! You’re lying! You’re lying! You’re lying!

[Chae-yoon unnie] – Da-jeong, you know we have a no-dating rule, right…?

Huh? What are they talking about?

It’s not like I’m going to date anyone.

It seems like the unnies are misunderstanding something…

Ah!

Maybe they think I’m meeting a guy because I said “date”?

Honestly, they worry too much.

It’s not like I, who used to be a guy, would date a guy.

[Me] – Don’t worry!

[Me] – It’s just hanging out with another girl!

[Yuna] – With another girl…?!

[Ra-hee unnie] – That seems even more dangerous…

[Jia unnie] – Da-jeong, can you at least explain the situation? The unnies are freaking out…

Oh, right.

Now that I think about it, I didn’t tell them I was meeting Verdia-chan.

[Me] – Oh, actually, Verdia-chan is coming to Korea this time.

[Me] – We decided to meet up!

[Chae-yoon unnie] – Verdia-chan? You mean Verdia, the one we did a collab with before?

[Jia unnie] – Oh, so that’s what it was.

[Ra-hee unnie] – I knew I could trust our Da-jeong.

[Yuna] – If it’s Verdia-chan, then I guess it’s okay…

Only after Jia unnie’s words did I realize what was going on and explained the whole situation.

Finally, the chaotic group chat seemed to calm down a bit.

But in the end, what were they so worried about?

I still don’t get it.

Anyway, the members each recommended some good restaurants and even picked out places we could go.

Since Verdia-chan might not be used to Korean food, they suggested various cuisines like Western and Japanese, which I really appreciated.

Hehe.

I’m glad I asked the members.

[Chae-yoon unnie] – So, you’ll be taking a day off that day, right?

[Me] – Yeah, that’s what it looks like.

[Me] – I’m planning to spend the night with Verdia-chan and have fun!

[Yuna] – ?

[Ra-hee unnie] – ?

[Jia unnie] – You’re spending the night together?

Excited about the idea of hanging out, I answered without thinking, and just like before, the suspicious reactions started pouring in again.

[‘Verdia-chan’ has sent you a message.]

I was about to ask what was going on, but a Discord message from Verdia-chan arrived, so I couldn’t.

I’ll have to switch to that chat for now.

[Me] – Oh!

[Me] – Sorry, I just got a message from Verdia-chan.

[Me] – Anyway, thank you, everyone!

[Jia unnie] – Da-jeong…?

And so, I closed the group chat and switched to the chat with Verdia-chan.

I thought I heard Jia unnie calling me at the end, but I must have imagined it.

Ah, now that I think about it, it would be nice to post a recap of my meeting with Verdia-chan on my YouTube channel.

It would be great to film a vlog or something, as long as my face doesn’t show.

But I don’t have the courage for that yet.
