Chapter 218: Playing Would You Rather and using a Lie Detector!

Ｒεαđ ө​ɴ Ǩа​т​ＲҽαԁίηցḈ​аƒε

A Q&A segment disguised as a mix of teasing and compliments flowed in a fun and lively atmosphere.

After breezing through the keyword-based Q&A, only the final segment—would you rather—remained. It was the part the members had been looking forward to the most since the meeting.

“Alright, we’ll now move on to the final game. Is everyone ready?”

“We’re ready!”

“Great! Then let’s jump right into the first question. Put it up!”

Dun-dun—

[5 Yukikos vs.1 5-year-old Yukiko]

With a dramatic sound effect, the first question appeared. Since we hadn’t heard the questions in advance, we were curious about what would come up, but the very first one already gave us serious decision paralysis.

“Just like before, we’ll count to three, and then you make your choice. One, two, three…!”

Without even time to think, the moment of choice arrived. After a brief consideration, I chose 1 5-year-old Yukiko. The other members did the same—except for Yuna herself, of course.

“What’s with you all?! Why’d you pick the 5-year-old? Wouldn’t five of me make you super happy?”

“Hey, one of you is already loud enough to kill us—five is just impossible!”

“A 5-year-old Yukiko would be cute, but five of you would be way too much.”

“One would whine to do a duet, another would beg to go to a café, another would—ugh.”

• LOLOLOLOLOLOL
• Erin freaking out is killing me LOL
• Just imagining it is chaotic…
• It’s tough, but I’d still pick 5-year-old Yukiko…

Yuna, dissatisfied, snapped back, but the unnie’s shook their heads, standing firm in their choices. I didn’t say anything to avoid hurting Yuna’s feelings, but…

Yeah, no matter how I think about it, 5-year-old Yuna is the way to go.

Like Ra-hee unnie said, a 5-year-old Yuna would be adorable. And more importantly, if there were five Yunas, it’d be pure chaos, just like Jia unnie said.

“CEO Kang, what do you think? Which side is better?”

“Obviously the 5-year-old. I couldn’t handle five of her.”

“Boss!”

• Even the CEO too, lolol
• She’s not wrong though~
• There’d be daily incidents, lol

With even her last bastion, the CEO, firmly choosing the 5-year-old side, Yuna fumed, but it had no effect.

As expected of our CEO.

No matter what the members say, she doesn’t budge.

I should learn that kind of conviction.

“Anyway, let’s move on to the next question. What’s next?”

Ignoring Yuna’s complaints, the CEO smoothly continued. Another sound effect played as the next question appeared.

[Be the youngest forever vs. Be the oldest unnie forever]

Ooh, this is a pretty fun question.

And also something I’ve never thought about before.

“Everyone has their own struggles, but if you had to pick just one, which would you choose? One, two, three…”

After the CEO’s countdown, everyone’s cursors appeared. Not just in the Discord call, but even the chat was filled with soft murmurs of “Ooh.” And for good reason—the votes were split exactly 3 to 2.

“First, Yukiko, who’s in the youngest camp, chose to stay the youngest. But Lulu, who belongs to the youngest camp, chose to be the oldest unnie. Can you explain your reasoning?”

“Being the youngest is just too comfortable! I already have to play the eldest role at home, and it’s so annoying! Being the youngest is the best! Period!”

• Spoken from experience lolol
• You can hear the anger in her voice lol
• What even happens at home…
• Just watching Yukiko’s usual streams is chaotic enough fr
• I heard her younger siblings even steal all her ice cream lol

Ah, right.

Yuna’s actually the oldest at home.

She has a younger brother and sister, right?

Since she’s experienced both the oldest and youngest roles, she probably knows the pros and cons of each very clearly. That’s why she could choose so decisively.

“Oh, nice. Then, Lulu?”

“I’ve already lived as the youngest, so I want to try being the oldest unnie. Plus, Erin unnie takes such good care of us, and I want to learn from her and be a great unnie who looks after my younger sisters too.”

“Lulu…!”

• Goddess is moved LOL
• She’s reacting like a proud mom LOL
• But Lulu’s just perfect as the youngest…
• I can’t even imagine Lulu as the oldest unnie, holy…

What! What’s wrong with me?!

I can take care of younger people too!

That’s just prejudice!

“What about the other members? Lucretia chose the oldest unnie position.”

“I think being the unnie is more comfortable. Plus, I love doting on the younger members—if I were the youngest, I couldn’t do that as easily.”

“Ah, so you chose the oldest position to bully them?”

“It’s not bullying. It’s loving them as an unnie.”

• OMG ;
• This is terror…
• The way Lucretia says “love” sounds scary LOL
• Queen’s affection is something else LOL

Ugh, yeah, that’s true.

Ra-hee unnie does love us a lot.

Sometimes a little too much, but…

“I picked the youngest position, and honestly, it’s because of the CEO.”

“Huh? Me?”

Next was Chae-yoon unnie’s turn, and out of nowhere, she started blaming the CEO, who looked baffled. Seemingly even angrier, Chae-yoon unnie raised her voice.

“Yes! Even when Yukiko and I are being equally loud, you only scold me! That’s clear favoritism!”

“That’s because your decibels are higher. Who told you to be that loud?”

“She’s right! Unnie is way louder! At least I try to keep it down for the CEO!”

“When have you ever kept it down?! You’re the one who suddenly slams the table and jumps up—!”

“Why are you two fighting even during the 1st-anniversary stream?!”

• LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
• This is pure chaos lmao
• The leader’s got a lot bottled up lol
• Just listening to the decibels, Lilith is louder lol
• It’s not about being the youngest—Yukiko’s just quieter lolol

Mm, I think so too.

Sure, Yuna’s usually more energetic, but…

When Chae-yoon unnie’s tension is high, she’s practically unmatched.

If she raises her voice in the meeting room, it echoes all the way down the hallway. It got so bad that the CEO once told her, “Even when recording, be quieter.”

“Let’s set aside the loud one for now and ask Erin. You chose to be the youngest—any reason?”

“L-loud one…?”

CEO Kang effortlessly ignored Chae-yoon unnie, who was fuming, and moved on to the next question. Chae-yoon unnie muttered something about being hurt, but no one paid her any attention.

I should at least pat her back.

I made sure my dumb hair could move for moments like this.

Poke-poke—

I wiggled my hair to tap Chae-yoon unnie’s shoulder.

“Thanks Lulu…”

“Ehehe…”

• So cute lolol
• Lulu’s the only one who looks after the unnies…
• The way she wiggles her hair is adorable LOL

Noticing this, Chae-yoon unnie quietly thanked me. Meanwhile, Yuna grumbled, “I’m a younger too, you know,” in a sulky voice. At the same time, Jia unnie continued her answer.

“I don’t hate being the oldest unnie, but… I’ve been burned too much.”

“Ah, do the others bother you a lot?”

CEO Kang threw a straight question at Jia unnie, who was trying to be indirect. Weakly, Jia unnie nodded.

“J-just a little? Ah, Lulu’s an exception, though.”

“Why is Lulu the only exception?!”

“Don’t play favorites!”

“Okay, now I’m a little hurt too…”

“Ahem…!”

• Lulu puffing up with pride is killing me lolol
• Let’s be real, Lulu is the exception lol
• The only model student stuck in a group of troublemakers

At first, I worried if I’d been too much of a nuisance to Jia unnie, but hearing her answer made me feel smug.

Ehehe, I don’t know what I did right, but…

I guess I’m Jia unnie’s best-behaved fellow member?

Yeah, that’s more than enough for me.

“No, you guys don’t get to act wronged! Who’s the one waking me up at 4 AM begging for a duet? Who’s the one randomly sexually harassing their unnie? Who’s the one pulling pranks to scare me?!”

Jia unnie, exasperated by the members’ protests, started listing their misdeeds one by one. It wasn’t hard to guess who did what.

Obviously, the one begging for duets at 4 AM was Yuna.

Chae-yoon unnie’s always groping Ra-hee unnie or Jia unnie, so that’s her.

And Ra-hee unnie’s been pulling the most pranks ever since she found out Jia unnie scares easily.

“Ahem, ahem… W-who could it be? Such terrible sisters.”

“I-it just means you’re loved!”

“I was just trying to help our timid unnie build courage…”

“Shut up! You’re all getting punished!”

• Don’t even need to see who it is, it’s obvious lol
• These are… younger sisters?
• Erin unnie’s about to quit being the oldest, big mood fr
• LMAOOOO
• So the oldest unnie is just a punching bag?

At least in our group, maybe.

Sure, I’m a punching bag too, but that’s more of an on-screen character thing. Jia unnie? She’s constantly getting pummeled in real life.

If being the oldest unnie means putting up with that…

Yeah, I’ll stay the way I am.

Thinking about it, the youngest role is way more comfortable.

After a few more questions, the game wrapped up, leaving only the final segment of the 1st-anniversary stream:

“Now, for Blue LUV’s 1st-anniversary finale—let’s play the Truth Game!”

“Wahhhh!”

“I wanna dodge…”

“Are we graduating today or something?”

“C-CEO, go easy on us, okay?”

“I-I think I suddenly have a stomachache…”

That’s right.

The Truth Game.

CEO Kang had warned us beforehand that she wouldn’t ask too harsh questions, but the unnerving energy in her voice made us all feel a chill down our spines.

But nerves aside, we had to do it. Following the plan, we turned on the lie detector placed on the table. This would determine whether our answers were true or false.

I-It’ll be fine, right?

Yeah, it’ll be fine.

[Honestly, I’m happy when people call me cute.]

As I tried to reassure myself, the first question appeared. The moment I saw it, I wondered if this was a targeted attack laced with malice.

…Is it too late to run away?
