[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 30

“Eonni, look over there. I think the stage they were setting up earlier is for busking.”

In the middle of the plaza where I pointed with my finger, dazzling lights and the sound of singing were piercing through the darkening streets, reaching even the smoking area.

“Seems like it. There’s a huge crowd gathering.”

“At this point, isn’t it more like a concert than busking?”

[Bangjang!! Let us see too!]

[Curious curious curious show us show us show us!]

“These brats are getting out of hand. You guys are only supposed to look at me, you cheating bastards.”

[Wow, already getting jealous.]

[We like Bangjang, but we’re still curious, you know.]

[Obsessive Bangjang is the best lol.]

[Just looking away is cheating? You’re too strict.]

“I swear I’m gonna end the broadcast.”

[Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!]

[What the hell, who’s this jerk?]

[It’s because of those damn singers, isn’t it?]

[Sashimi on!]

“You guys are mine. If you even think about looking away, I’ll gouge your eyes out, got it?”

[ㅗㅜㅑ #Obsession]

[This obsession is so sweet.]

[Isn’t this getting a bit too intense?]

[Heheung, give me more.]

While chatting nonsense with the viewers, I turned my phone towards the direction of the noisy commotion.

“It’s too far, you probably can’t see.”

[Looks like a performance.]

[It just popped up on SNS, it’s Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram.]

[Bom Baram? Who’s that?]

[You don’t know Bom Baram? Are you a caveman?]

[Breaking news) Signature Entertainment is doing a surprise busking with Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram for concert promotion, live on Twitch and YouTube.]

[Damn, they’re really pulling out all the stops lol.]

[This sounds fun, Bangjang! Let’s go right now!]

From the viewers’ chats, it seemed like the singers were doing busking to promote their concert.

Even I, who knows little about celebrities, recognized Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram from the chats.

Lim Yoo-joon, in his mid-20s, had captured the hearts of the nation with his handsome looks and insane vocal skills, earning him the title of national singer. Bom Baram, from the same agency, was a singer pushed by Lim Yoo-joon.

Bom Baram, with her stunning beauty and exceptional singing talent, quickly captured the hearts of the public, growing so fast that her fanbase seemed to overshadow even Lim Yoo-joon’s.

“Eonni, they say it’s Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram busking. Should we go check it out?”

“Eh? Really, Lim Yoo-joon?”

“That’s what the viewers are saying.”

“Then let’s hurry! When famous singers do busking, if too many people gather, they’ll only sing a couple of songs and end it quickly. Let’s go before that happens.”

Eonni got excited…

Seeing the expression on her face, I started walking towards the plaza, but Eonni stopped me.

“Ga-eul, let me film you for a bit.”

“Huh? Why go that far, it’s fine.”

“No, I really wanted to do this! I want to try it, Ga-eul.”

“This is heavier than I thought… If my arm hurts while doing it, should I give it back to you?”

“Yeah, yeah!”

When I handed the mount to Eonni, she stepped back and started filming me.

[OMG, full-body shot of the room master]

[The room master is seriously stunning]

[For real, how can someone look like that?]

[The proportions are insane, and the skin is so smooth]

“Right? Ga-eul is really pretty. Especially her eyes, they’re like jewels. It’s a shame you guys can’t see her without glasses, it’s a total knockout.”

[Vice Commander, hello]

[Vice Commander, please take off that damn beat sunglasses]

[Vice Commander, why are you enjoying spring alone?]

[Please show us too, we’re dying of curiosity]

“Haha, am I the Vice Commander?”

[Yeah, the inauguration ceremony is already over]

“Damn it, guys, Eonni is looking at the chat. If you keep saying stupid stuff, she’ll turn off the broadcast.”

[LOL, just trust us]

[For real, just trust us, Eonni LOL]

“Ga-eul, the viewers are saying to trust them.”

“Those guys are really good at keeping promises, even though it doesn’t suit them at all.”

[Damn, why us!!]

[LOL, that’s true, why are you complaining?]

“It’s frustrating not being able to see the chat.”

“Ga-eul, I’ll film you again. Get another mobile phone line.”

“Do you really need to go that far?”

While talking with Eonni, I approached the center of the plaza to look around. Since it hadn’t been long since it started, there weren’t many people yet.

As I got closer, there were people watching and others in the same reflective vests standing to prevent fans from rushing in. On the surprisingly low stage, Lim Yoo-joon was singing.

“Wow, it’s my first time seeing Lim Yoo-joon this close! He’s really handsome.”

Eonni seemed to like him more than I thought, maybe she was a fan.

“He is handsome, but a man should have a sturdy, bear-like charm.”

“Huh… Is that your type, Ga-eul?”

She was surprised by the sudden revelation of my taste, her eyes widening.

“It’s not about taste, but he’s too skinny. He looks like he’d break if you tapped him.”

“But he’s a pretty boy and really kind.”

As Eonni said, Lim Yoo-joon had a delicate and handsome appearance, looking like he might cry if tapped. Despite being in his mid-20s, the title of “pretty boy” really suited him.

“What the hell, this icy-cold pretty boy. Big, strong guys like bears know their strength, so they’re careful and nice to others. And those guys probably have great back strength at night too, how awesome is that?”

“Ugh! Autumn! Stop saying stuff like that outside!”

Eonni was so startled she came closer and covered my mouth.

[F*ck, I’m gonna cancel my gym membership.]

[Why the f*ck was I born with this weak-ass body?]

[Mom, please give me allowance, I need to cancel my PT, I’m so f*cking desperate!]

[LMAO]

[Ding!]

[Red Parade has sponsored 3,000,000 won.]

[Can we get a moon bear too? Please.]

[Like hell that’s gonna happen LOL.]

[LOL, “please” is so f*cking funny.]

Even as Eonni and I were having that conversation, Lim Yoo-joon’s passionate singing continued until the song ended, and applause followed along with his voice.

【Thank you for listening. Please come to our joint concert in two weeks. Next is the last song, and you all know what it is, right? I’ll sing “Three Steps to Love.”】

The song Lim Yoo-joon sang was a cheerful love song, but contrary to its vibe, it was notoriously difficult to sing, with rumors that he protected its copyright fiercely.

【One step for the meeting that started it all♩】

Even though it wasn’t a duet, he and Bom Baram took turns singing each verse, coming down from the stage to wave at fans and give fan service.

“Wow! Autumn, Lim Yoo-joon is coming our way too.”

[Lim Yoo-joon’s doing fan service since it’s his last song.]

[But why does the room master’s face look like that LOL.]

[Is she not interested? Her blank face is so pretty LOL.]

A broadcasting station employee seemed to be filming, with a large camera following Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram’s movements, turning its head. Lim Yoo-joon was smiling brightly while doing fan service, even while singing a difficult song.

Lim Yoo-joon, who was enthusiastically waving and giving high-fives to fans, suddenly stopped moving, stared at me blankly for a while, and then walked toward me.

【One step for a precious friendship♩】

Seeing him do everything while still singing properly made me think, “Pros are pros, huh.”

While everyone around was screaming and reaching out for high-fives, I felt nothing and just stared blankly.

Bom Baram, who had been looking at Lim Yoo-joon’s face more than the fans, soon matched his steps and walked toward me with him.

While I was staring blankly, Lim Yoo-joon stopped in front of me and kept singing while looking straight at my face, as if singing just for me.

[Why is that guy stopping in front of our room master and acting up?]

[Don’t mess with our Eonni, you punk, you got two lives or something?]

[Why does Bom Baram’s face look so scrunched up LOL.]

Was he always that ugly?

Wow, our room master used to be a squid factory owner.

Even if he sings well, 90% of his fame is because of his face. How could he be ugly? It’s all thanks to the room master.

Bom Baram is freaking beautiful, a national beauty that even gets praised overseas lol.

Bom Baram’s makeup looks like it was slapped on hahaha.

It feels like only the room master is shining lol. She really is freaking pretty.

The verse that Bom Baram had taken over was coming to an end, and the final, most challenging highlight of the song was about to go to Lim Yoo-joon.

Just as Lim Yoo-joon was about to bring the microphone to his mouth to take over the song, Bom Baram suddenly, without even finishing her own verse, brought the microphone to his mouth.

Why the hell is that bitch shoving the microphone at the room master?

What is she doing?

Bom Baram was smiling beautifully.

An act as if she wanted to share the song with the fans.

In that action and smile, I could see the pettiness.

Fortunately, the lyrics were familiar because it was Lim Yoo-joon’s debut song and the most famous one that put him in this position, so it was heard everywhere.

Sound started coming out of my mouth.

The sound vibrated madly in the air as it came out.

Sorrow, freshness, desperation, loveliness.

Emotions clumped together and burst out.

Despite the high octave, there was a deep tremor that gave goosebumps.

A message that the storm’s song had been activated.

Passionate emotions, vocal skills, and a beautiful voice all mixed together to create a heavenly harmony.

【Even without saying it, I hope this heart reaches you】

【A step of love wishing to reach you♪】

A storm of emotions that felt like it would drive me crazy swept through.

As my mouth closed, I saw Lim Yoo-joon and Bom Baram with their eyes wide open, mouths agape.

The audience, who had been screaming so loudly it felt like my ears would burst, suddenly fell silent.
