|Ep. 9|

Miho made a startled sound at the back of his throat while his eyes were glued on the screen of his phone. Blushing at the embarrassing sound he made, he restrained the squeal that almost left his throat. He glanced at the comment section and found LALA PRINCESS (lalapr) giving a thousand balloons.

Pouting, he smiled when his username popped up.

MiRobird (mibrd) gave 2000 balloons.

The foreigner plopped down on his bed, cringing when the bedframe creaked. He arched an eyebrow when he saw another user giving the exact amount of balloons like Miho.

ASDF (asdf) gave 2000 balloons.

Some time had passed and Miho found that ASDF (asdf) only gave what Miho gave. This bewildered him but disregarded that user. He didn't even know who it was. Signing off, he turned and called his twin.

(Meanwhile, Pretty Daniel and Duke were gaping at the computer screen in shock.)

"Hey, Ani... about what you said before—"

oooOooo

Miho exhaled through his hands. He never liked the cold. It reminded him too much of too many things he would rather forget. He checked the time on his phone and wondered what Pretty Daniel was doing right now.

Soon enough, he reached the convenience store and was about to run inside to glomp the cashier but stopped when he saw a stranger punching Yui Kim on the face. "Babe! My nose!" The girl whined. "Shut up, b!tch... How many times?!"

And proceeded to kick the poor woman on the stomach. "You fucking slut! Cheating again?! Am I some kind of joke? You've been sneaking around with those bastards who give you balloons, eh?"

"Babe! That's other streamers! I would never do that!"

"Shut up! I don't believe you!"

Zack Lee had enough. "Hey, jackass, that's how you treat your girl? Both of you are a piece of trash." Because frankly? Zack had never seen a girl who would openly cheat and a guy who would use violence on someone who couldn't even fight back. "Jackass? Trash? Now, I'm really fucking pissed. Just a second, bitch..."

The former boxer remained unexpressive, simply glowering in silence. It didn't go unnotice how a certain albino glared at Yui Kim's boyfriend from behind. "Get over here." The thug taunted him. Zack inwardly scoffed. Did that bastard think he was easy bait?

"Haha. You fucking little bastard, come here. Come here. I won't bite. I won't hit you." The thug swung his fist towards Zack's face but the former boxer stopped his advance with ease. He backed away, a sweat dripping down from his forehead. The thug nervously wondered just who exactly was that guy covered in white from head to toe.

"I... I just scared you. Are you scared?"

From behind, Miho couldn't help but let his sarcastic side take over. "No, really? I'm soooo scared... not. You looked pretty serious just then, mister." Almost everyone, aside from Zack Lee, jerked in shock at the sound of his voice. When the thug turned around, he found a short boy smiling up at him. "The fuck? What's a fucking brat doin' here?" Hehe, I'll make an example out of him.
