Watch This Space

Chapter Twenty Six

Shibisu had been watching the live vlog of Rachel and Bams truth or dare Q&A. He didn't tend to watch their vlogs very often and there hadn't been that many recently anyway. This was the first time he had watched one of their vlogs since giving Khun his advice.

Now witnessing Rachels obvious flirting and hints since speaking to Khun, Shibisu questioned whether he had given his friend bad advice. But there was nothing he could do, he didn't know the full story and could only give advice based on the information he had, though that didn't stop him from feeling a little guilty. He tried to cheer himself up by convincing himself that it was all an act that Bam and Khun had agreed to. He thought, surely with how obvious she was being, it had to have been a set up.

He remembered past vlogs that he had watched and how Rachel had acted the same back them, flirting in front of the camera. At the time he either didn't know about Bam and Khun being an item or they weren't together yet and so he had thought nothing of it. There was no problem with two single people flirting. Shibisu did pick up on the fact that Bam never responded to the blondes flirting and so he wasn't part of the Bam X Rachel crew, he just thought they were really good friends.

Now witnessing the flirting taking place, knowing that Khun was likely watching it aswell, he really felt for his friend. As the stream went on he watched the upcoming fiasco unfold. At first it was the question if they had anyone they liked, he saw how Rachel glanced at Bam when she answered, as if leading the viewers to believe it was him. Bam also admitted he had someone he liked but this only encouraged the viewers to believe the two on screen had feelings for each other based on their previous actions. Shibisu, knowing the truth, knew this wasn't the case but, after watching some of their previous vlogs, he also knew that the viewers reactions probably would have been the same even if he had said no to the question.

Shibisu, watching the comments pour in, considered calling his friend just in case he was watching, there was a part of him that wanted to know if Khun was okay with all of this. He refrained, thinking that Khun would be unlikely to be truthful with him anyway. It was then that the question popped up about who the streamers liked. Shibisu knew that Bam wouldn't answer that, he and Khun had decided to keep their relationship quiet after all. Once the pair had decided to go with the dare, it popped up on the screen and Shibisu's heart sank.

"Oh no....."

He watched the stream chat blow up.

- Thank you whoever made this dare

- They should have just answered the question and made it official

- If they really weren't together by now then this is sure to change that!

The blonde tried to push Bam into the dare and Shibisu sighed in relief when he refused. Even if it was all an act and Khun was okay with it, he felt that forcing Khun to watch as his boyfriend made out with someone else would be too much. Seeing that Rachel wasn't about to give up, Shibisu kept watching, praying that Bam would stand his ground. And then the brunette confessed that he was seeing someone.

Rachels face dropped, she hurriedly ended the stream and Shibisu had a bad feeling about what would happen next. The stream comments had continued to come in at a fast rate.

- Viole is dating someone and it's not Rachel!?

- I bet Rachel feels like an idiot, she obviously had thing for him!

- I feel kind of cheated

- Noooo! For once I wanted one of my ships to be real!

- I guess Viole was always telling us that him and Rachel weren't together

Shibisu felt both relieved and worried, he tried to call Khun only to get the engaged tone and realised that Khun was probably more concerned about Bam. It was then that he noticed the chat had shifted their angle.

- So who do you think it is?

This question started off a whole new debate. There was a lot of discussion and many names popped up. Generally the guesses were of other female gaming streamers that Viole had co-streamed with before or who had name dropped him as being a 'personal friend'.

- If it's not Rachel then it has to be Endorsi right?

- Oooh yeah! She definitely had a thing for Viole!

- What about Ehwa?

- Nah, I think it is probably Yuri

The names kept coming until one comment in particular caused mayhem.

- Sorry to disappoint you all but it's gotta be A.A

-What!?

- Don't be ridiculous, he's a guy!

- A.A could turn anyone gay..... he's a trap remember

- Wait! You have a point! Remember that time Viole called him babe on stream?

- They said it was a joke, like with PurpleIsu

- Oooh and there was that time on the vlog when they were both hidden on the sofa

- No one could see what they were up to....

It seemed that the A.A X Viole faction had piped up and were now praying that their dreams were coming true. Shibisu watched as the comments continued to come in, there was a divide but a lot of the chatters were now convinced that Bam was talking about Khun. Shibisu didn't know what to do, he couldn't say anything in case it backfired and he didn't want to alert his friend at the moment thinking he was already dealing with Bam and Rachel.

He left the chat and tried to busy himself by watching a different stream. It wasn't long until his phone lit up with a notification. Opening up his screen, he saw it was a Twitter notification informing him of a new trending hashtag.

#VioleXA.A

"Oh crap...."

Twitter was going mad with the new revelation of Viole being in a relationship. There were hundreds of tweets already, arguing about who it could be but the most popular pairing was Viole and A.A. Knowing that Khun rarely checked his social media, Shibisu hastily tapped out a message and sent it to him.

'Hey Khun, you guys might want to check Twitter..."

Khun read the message wondering what the hell Shibisu was talking about. He opened up the Twitter app and very quickly discovered what he meant.

- Viole announced he is in a relationship on a vlog! Who do you think it is?

- Team #VioleXA.A

- Gross they're two dudes! I vote #VioleXEndorsi

- You're in the wrong century if you're grossed out by two dudes together #VioleXA.A

- Aaaah I really hope it's true #VioleXA.A

He scrolled through Twitter seeing the same topic over and over again. Bams confession on the live vlog had caused a much bigger reaction than either had expected. Khun just kept scrolling at a loss as to what to do.

"Something wrong babe?"

Having woken up from his nap, Bam looked up at Khun whom he had been lying on and saw the worry and annoyance etched in his features. Khun responded by passing his boyfriend his phone.

"Looks like we're trending on Twitter."
