『Ah』
『???』
『Back? Hips? Posture?』
『Oh, please』
『Please choose your words carefully』
『Is she doing this on purpose?』
『?????』
『So, who was it? Was it the protruding Guntak or Golden Sun Revan?』

The chat room became chaotic all at once. Even the viewers, who were accustomed to Lee Yena’s nonsense, found it difficult to brush off her words this time—they were too easily misunderstood.
Naturally, there were now people starting to write emails emphasizing the dangers of making statements that could be misunderstood by others. It was a rare instance of a reasonably justified email.
Fortunately, perhaps, Lee Yena inadvertently redirected the attention gathered by her provocative comment. Whether intentional or not was unclear.
“Oh, I took a lot of pictures at the after-party thanks to StarPork. Shall I show you?”
『Oh』
『Pictures? Finally?』
『Face reveal? Body reveal?』
『How explicit are the photos』
『Bless you, StarPork! Share those pictures!』

【The photo I received from her was the worst. She had a facial expression I’ve never seen before…】
『We’ve never seen it』
『It’s not just the expression, we have never seen her face at all, damn it……』
『You, get out』
“Hm… Just a moment.”
Lee Yena’s calm voice suggested she was aware of the chaotic chat and donations. Amidst the clamoring, a sound of something being set up could be heard.
And then.
-Click.
“Can you see it well? It’s been a while.”
A camera screen appeared in one corner of the display.
Several months ago, when trying a cooking show that wasn’t really a cooking show, a familiar setup was used. A vertically mounted camera captured the desk from above.
On the desk were a keyboard, a mouse, and a small espresso cup. The difference was that this time, almost no viewers were asking what the clear liquid in the espresso cup was.
“Hmm… Configuring the chat window… Ah, there are a lot of people with vivid imaginations. I might not be a saint, but I’m not such a party animal that I’d spend a wild night with five strangers. You’re curious about why my back hurts because of my sleeping posture? Why is that even a question… Should I explain this first?”
A small notebook appeared on the desk. It was a rough notebook, not something from a fancy stationery shop, but the kind sold at any convenience store, juxtaposing the delicate white hand handling it.
Soon, a hand covered in a familiar tattoo sleeve to long-time viewers opened the last page of the notebook and began to draw with a pen.
It was analog doodling, typically done by broadcasters when sharing stories.
“I’ve had my days and nights swapped recently, causing me to wake up at sunrise… And it’s been tiring. It might be because of streaming so frequently. I should probably go on a streaming diet… Anyway, I was quite tired on the day after the party.”
The scribbling pen, while clumsy, produced surprisingly legible drawings.
It was a bed.
“I felt even more tired thinking about going out. So, I sat like this for a bit to rest. It was my first time trying this posture, but it was surprisingly comfortable. I fell asleep like this and woke up… I’ll show you.”
The drawing depicted a person kneeling on the floor beside the bed in a W-shaped leg posture, with their upper body sprawled over the bed. It was a careful and meticulous ten-minute drawing completed in silence.
“They say comfortable postures are bad for your joints. Be careful, everyone.”
Lee Yena switched to a red pen and began marking thick crosses on the drawing at the waist, hips, knees, and ankles, slowly and precisely.
“Here, and here… My back also hurt. Oh, this part hurt too… It wasn’t easy to stretch this area.”
『Is this a medical chart or what』
『I preferred it when we could entertain naughty thoughts, teacher…』
『That doodle is so trashed it’s adorable, lol』
『Just hurry up with the story, please』
『Who asked why you were in pain, damn it』
『Can’t we just say you were sore from too much action at the after-party?』

【If you don’t want to drop dead, hurry and show us the picture, teacher】
“Anyway, I was sore all over before even leaving the house. It was tough. Still, just in case we ended up going to a VR room together, I wore a sports bra. We didn’t go in the end, but better safe than sorry.”
Her long, white fingers gently touched the red espresso cup, then slowly lifted it.
In the chat window, people started to get excited again. Why did she mention choosing a bra? What kind of exercise was she planning? How can she hold the cup so seductively? And more.
There was no response to these comments. Instead, the sound of gulping something went through the microphone, and Lee Yena, still out of the camera’s view, nonchalantly poured something back into the espresso cup before continuing.
“I was a bit late, so I joined from the second round… Ah, the alcohol tasted great. I used to think whiskey was only good mixed with beer. But when served in a glass with a round ice cube, it turned out to be pretty nice.”
Once again, she began drawing a meticulously detailed glass. The careful pen strokes captured the texture of the glass, housing a perfectly round ice cube.

【You don’t need to draw that so diligently; just show us the picture】
“I always thought alcohol just had an alcoholic smell. But it had hints of chocolate, almond, and floral scents, which was quite fascinating. Though I still prefer the plain alcoholic smell of soju… It was interesting.”
If Guntak knew, it would have been a statement that would make him weep, especially since he had ordered and paid for a bottle approaching 2,000,000 won.

【Oh, what kind of whiskey was it?】
“Well, let’s see. Was it… Scotch or was it malt? I drank quite a bit, so I don’t remember well… Ah, Revan knows a lot about alcohol. Ask him the next time he streams.”
『Damn it, there are countless Scotch malt whiskeys』
『So Revan made you drink, huh? He’s in trouble』
『Did you drink a lot?ㅠㅠ Be careful of your liver』
『They are saying something but there’s no substance…』
The pen tip, which had been meticulously sketching out the whiskey bottle label, lost its strength halfway, as if it had gotten bored.

【When will you show the photos?】
“The photos… just a moment. I’ve got quite a few.”
The keyboard was pushed upwards, revealing a handful of Polaroid photos. Even at a glance, there was a considerable number.
The camera, which was unnecessarily high resolution, clearly captured the image of a short-haired beauty with a puppylike face.
『Oh』
『??? Is that the host?』
『Were they this cute?』
『It’s Ark』
『It’s frustrating to see newbies watching GetDevoured Devoured’s broadcast without even knowing Ark』
『How was Ark in person???』
“Ark in person was more… How should I say it? Intense. She has a puppylike face, but with a Siberian husky feel.”
Photos continued to pass by with short comments from Lee Yena.
“Oh, here’s StarPork. She looked the same as on camera. No, more like a buntling than a squirrel… Anyway, she was cute. Someone should have taken a picture of her clutching the Polaroid camera, sleeping in the corner.”
StarPork, Revan, Ark, Gorabox, Revan and Ark, Revan and StarPork, Ark sitting next to a sleeping StarPork in the corner… Various combinations of people appeared, and of course, Lee Yena’s own face did not appear at all.
“And here’s Revan dismantling a crab shell with a spoon. He pretended to be so serious about being a logger, yet he didn’t even carry an axe. I was a bit disappointed.”
Finally, after flipping through the thick stack of Polaroid photos, the last one remained. Although it wasn’t focused yet, it was clearly a group photo.
In the explosive atmosphere of the chat room, anticipating the big reveal, the photo was finally shown-
“Oh, I received this photo too. Doesn’t it look well taken?”
Everyone except Lee Yena was shown smiling brightly on the screen.
『???』
『🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥』
『No』
『You’re not here, goddamn it!』
『Did you even go?』

『At this point, isn’t it a lie that you said you’re went?』

『Alright, let’s just set fire to this place, damn it.』
『Ah, damn, I knew this would happen.』

『Where is the teacher anyway?』
“Ah, I’m right around here.”
Lee Yena, pointing to a spot outside the photo, above the desk.
“I took the photo standing somewhere around here. Didn’t I do a good job?”
Was she seeking praise? She asked again, eager for a response, while her hands formed a small V sign next to the picture, proudly displaying it.
“Didn’t I do a good job?”
