Chapter 221 Kick off (2)

The timeline shifted.

And Thirteen, the time manager, didn’t know.

‘What the hell is this?’

My blood ran cold, but I quickly reminded myself that I was in the middle of a live broadcast.

This is a place where even a two-second clip of you being expressionless can lead to all sorts of wild speculations and evaluations of your character. With my already fierce appearance, even a slight frown could lead to who knows what, so I focused all my attention on maintaining a poker face. Then, while Thirteen continued to throw question marks in confusion, I inwardly communicated with him.

‘A comment related to Dan Haru just came up in the chat, and as Dan Haru was about to see it, time went back. If you, the time manager, don’t know what’s going on, then who would?’

Maybe because the sudden regression had put me on edge, my tone was a bit sharp, but I didn’t have the energy to worry about that now. Thirteen seemed to be trying to figure out the situation, as the word “Loading…” appeared before he temporarily vanished.

Meanwhile, our live broadcast continued.

“Here’s a question for Hajin hyung. ‘Hajin, did you get that eyebrow scratch on purpose?’ someone’s asking.”

Seo Taehyun happened to read a question directed at me, and everyone’s attention turned to me. I smiled as naturally as possible and touched the scar at the end of my right eyebrow

.
“No, it’s from an injury when I was a kid. I got a little cut while sword-fighting with my brother.”

“I thought Hawon hyung would find sword-fighting annoying.”

“Exactly. So, he just stood there, and I ended up dancing with the sword by myself and fell, hitting my forehead on the handle.”

“……”

For a moment, an indescribable emotion flickered in Lee Yugeon’s eyes, but I decided to pretend not to notice.

I kept a close eye on the chat, just in case another strange comment popped up. But no matter how long I stared, there wasn’t anything suspicious, and Dan Haru, who was sitting next to me, also seemed calm.

“Dan, give that to me.”

“Yeah? This?”

Just in case, I took the monitoring tablet that Dan Haru was holding. He handed it over without any resistance and leaned in close, peering over my shoulder as if he wanted to keep watching the chat.

After a moment’s hesitation, I opened a note app next to the live broadcast app and scribbled a quick message by hand.

<Was there any strange comment or anything?>

Dan Haru glanced at my message, then shook his head slightly with a small smile. His cheeks, which were unusually rosy today, looked so round and irritating.

‘Hold it in, Kang Hajin. He doesn’t know anything.’

My primary objective at that moment was to get through the live broadcast without any issues.

Seo Taehyun and Jung Siwoo were handling the hosting and managing the others’ audio as usual, but since I’m usually talkative, it would be odd if I suddenly went quiet. So, I picked a random comment from the chat to read.

“Siwoo hyung, someone wants to see you play the piano, Desty.”

“……”

“……?”
