Raise Three Idols Well And They’ll Launch a Confession Attack.

Episode 152: Be My Lover, I Like You

The so-called “Beautiful Girl Game Team,” who achieved an unbelievable miraculous victory and successfully advanced to the group stage, cheered.

“Aaah! Gyeoul, I love you!”

“Han Gyeoul! Han Gyeoul!”

“Gyeoul did well, but my sharp ult also played its part…”

“Unnie, you only used your ult.”

“…”

“But we did our best, didn’t we?”

“Exactly, if we just played terribly, we wouldn’t have won a 5v5 game. It’s thanks to Gyeoul’s hard carry, but the result is that we took down the title contender, right? If 99 out of 100 people predicted we’d lose, they shouldn’t gamble.”

“Harim, gambling… just don’t do it.”

“…I’m just saying.”

Excitedly praising each other, they continued their chatter, as if the aftereffects of the win hadn’t left them yet.

“I can’t stand it. I need to do a ‘leet’!”

“Ah, I can’t resist the ‘leet.’ The comments will be great.”

“Oh, I have to check it too. The comments are like, ‘How can there be no humans except Gyeoul?’”

“I’ll just watch the video.”

“Unnies, we won because you all played well. Especially during the mid lane team fight, Sarang unnie, Fu-Neng unnie, Harim unnie, and Focapo unnie all did so well.”

“Wow, we just got a shout-out from the best Axe Killer in Jeonnam, Han Gyeoul. Everyone, take a drink.”

“But, do you think we’re really going all the way to the championship?”

“Honestly, if I heard that before the game, I would have thought it was nonsense, but after this round, I’m starting to see a possibility.”

“Yeah, it feels like our coordination finally came together.”

Agreeing with that, the supporter Sarang cheerfully shouted.

“Let’s go for First Team’s victory!”

“Let’s go!”

But that hope didn’t come to fruition.

The Beautiful Girl Game Team, who poured all their energy into the fierce battle against the title contender ‘Rosette Team,’ suffered consecutive crushing defeats in the remaining three rounds.

Gyeoul, who appeared on a gaming talk show, sat somewhat awkwardly in a modest posture.

Next to her, a famous gaming journalist in a red tracksuit and a well-known gaming caster in a blue tracksuit sat beside her, leading the broadcast.

Gyeoul, though wearing an oversized black primary-colored tracksuit that didn’t quite fit her build, looked cute in it.

While mixing in appropriate comments according to the flow of the broadcast, she guided the show in a graceful direction.

During this, the discussion about the previous Witches Tournament came up again, and the panelist, a former game journalist in a red tracksuit, said excitedly to Gyeoul.

“Oh, that time was unreal. When Gyeoul overcame the hate and got the Pentakill, I actually shouted out loud.”

“Actually, the real highlight came after that.”

“Hehe, you mean that reaction, right?”

Though they lost narrowly in the Witches Tournament and never even reached the threshold of victory, it wasn’t entirely bad for Gyeoul.

Gyeoul’s Pentakill reaction, which shocked and stunned the viewers, became a topic of conversation and was shared, positively influencing her fame.

Han Gyeoul, originally seen as a slightly arrogant genius character in Girl 100, with no lack of skills in dance and singing, was confident but seemed shy and reserved in other areas. Her wild reaction to the Pentakill in the game sparked a cult-like response.

The most viewed video from the Witches Tournament wasn’t the match footage, but a short clip of Gyeoul’s Pentakill reaction, which caused a huge stir.

With that video, she started receiving invitations for appearances.

Of course, there was still no contact from major broadcast networks or cable channels, likely due to the risks related to the Jin Yeoreum incident, but she began receiving calls from gaming broadcasts with a strong fanbase.

As a result, she was able to participate in such high-quality broadcasts.

This wasn’t simply a record of participating in a single broadcast.

It could be said that it opened the floodgates for Girl Revolution’s participation. Gyeoul had accomplished something truly significant.

Of course, Gyeoul, the person involved, looked troubled.

“Gyeoul, can you do that one more time?”

“Pardon? What do you mean by that?”

“The Pentakill! I’ve got the hammer and the doll ready here.”

“Ugh… That…”

“Hey, if you just do the same thing to the doll, what’s the fun in that? Since we have the hammer, if you’re going to axe, you should do it on a person’s head, not a doll’s. So, Mr. Park, let’s make a bet.”

“Huh? A bet?”

“The guest who’s coming this time has pre-ordered the new major release, Devil Hunter 4, that was launched 3 days ago. The loser has to become the doll and experience Gyeoul’s Pentakill reaction.”

“Are you talking about the 120,000-won one? Alright, I’ll bet that they didn’t buy it. 120,000 won isn’t easy.”

“Okay, then I’ll bet that they bought it.”

Then the guest appeared and said.

“I bought it.”

“…”

Gyeoul, shaking her hand holding the hammer, asked.

“Is it really okay to do this?”

“Don’t worry. Mr. Park likes things that match someone like you, a beautiful girl.”

“No, I never…”

“Well then, I’ll do it! Penta! Penta! Penta!”

“Ahhh!”

“That guy really enjoys it.”

Anyway, the broadcast was well-received.

I, along with Cheon Aram and Seo Soo-yeon, arrived at a pub with a room where it wouldn’t matter if we made some noise. We sat around Cheon Aram.

As the drinks and snacks we ordered came out, Cheon Aram, without waiting for anyone, filled our glasses by herself and raised her glass, saying,

“Wait, we ordered…”

“Huh? You know my personality, right? Just let me do it. I want to.”

After all, she had said before that she had a dream of moments like this.

“Then, let’s make a toast to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Team Leader Seon joining TwoBear!”

“Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

“Soo-yeon, you don’t have to be so polite with ‘cheers’… Actually, that’s your charm. Just drink first!”

Cheon Aram took a refreshing drink and said.

“By the way, it feels like it hasn’t been that long, but already a year. Time flies. Anyway, Team Leader Seon, you’ve worked hard over the past year.”

“No, I just did my job. You, President Cheon and Seo Soo-yeon, did most of the hard work.”

At my words, Cheon Aram shook her head.

“No, you worked really hard. Honestly, I didn’t know it would be possible for Team Leader Seon to handle both the field and the planning work all on your own. But since you showed enthusiasm and handled things so well, I actually hesitated to hire new people and ended up spending a whole year like this. I didn’t want to save money on hiring. It’s just that I felt uneasy about entrusting work to someone new. Do you understand?”

“Of course I understand. Do you know how insane my salary is right now?”

“Someone who’s careful with money wouldn’t be handing out like this.”

“I didn’t mind at all. I’m actually thankful for the opportunity you gave me.”

“No, even though you’re doing well, I should’ve hired more people earlier, but I was being greedy. Since I officially posted the job openings now, you won’t have to do overtime anymore.”

“Are you sure? Some people with bad habits might slip in.”

“That’s why we need to screen them out during the interview. If I want to find someone who fits my standards, I’ll need to see hundreds of people, so I’ll have to live with some rough spots for a while.”

“Right… Good luck, boss.”

“Forget about it for now. Let’s just drink today. Drink to your heart’s content and come to work tomorrow at 1.”

“Alright. I’ll join you till the end.”

“I’ll join you until the end of this life.”

“Well, no need to go that far… but, alright, let’s see Soo-yeon get drunk tonight!”

We continued to drink cheerfully, recalling suitable memories, laughing over the obstacles and stories we encountered while working.

As the bottles piled up and everyone became merrily drunk, Cheon Aram looked at me and spoke.

“Team Leader Seon.”

“Yes?”

“Remember when I said I could read people’s hearts to some extent?”

I was startled and looked at Seo Soo-yeon.

As expected by Cheon Aram, Seo Soo-yeon calmly reacted as if she had already guessed or heard the secret.

Only then did I feel relieved and nodded.

“Yes, I remember.”

“Well, since I can feel that, there’s something I need to say to you, Team Leader Seon.”

Cheon Aram erased her drunken demeanor and spoke seriously.

“If one of the Girl Revolution members confesses to you, what will you do?”

“…”

Seo Soo-yeon and Cheon Aram’s gazes were fixed on me.

“They’ll ask you to be their lover. They’ll say they like you.”

The answer was already clear.

“Of course…”

“Oh, I almost forgot to mention, has it been decided that you’ll be going on broadcast?”

This was very good news.

“Oh, so it’s not a disposable issue program, but a decent program invitation?”

“Yeah, it’s a program called ‘The First-Person Intervenor.’”

“The First-Person Intervenor? Wait, that one.”

“Isn’t that a show where celebrities and their managers appear together?”

“Yes, that’s correct. It’s a pilot program, and for you to already know about it, Team Leader Seon, your information skills are impressive.”

“Then, which one of our employees from TwoBear is going to be on it?”

Cheon Aram tilted her head, seemingly confused, and replied.

“Who else but Team Leader Seon, of course?”
