Chapter 98

Arang’s fan cafe.

Arang’s fan cafe, created by Arang and managed by Pinkubelly, gained 1,000 members in just one day after its creation.

This is because Arang’s fans, who had been struggling with limited information about Arang, rushed to join.

Although they couldn’t do anything during that one day, they were able to find out that Arang had decided on a fandom name.

The fandom name was boldly advertised in the post list, but the problem was that the name was far from ordinary.

[Limbs]

The fandom name is “Limbs.” Limbs.

If ordinary streamers had used it, they might have said, “Thank you, my fans, for supporting me this far! Thank you for being my limbs!” But the people who joined Arang’s fan cafe, who love Arang enough to join, know about Arang’s tournament incident.

Now, all the replays and memes circulating online have been deleted, so those who didn’t watch the tournament don’t know, but Arang’s fans all watched it live to cheer for Arang.

They know that Arang’s shocking real-life appearance and the boundaries shown in Leore were all real, even though they laughed it off as a concept at the time.

But Arang’s fandom name is “Limbs”…? Everyone was torn between whether to embrace it or try to stop it.

Pinkubelly also thought it might be better to change it at first, but when she saw Arang smiling brightly and saying that she had thought hard about the fandom name and decided on “Limbs,” she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

After a day passed, the fans who joined the cafe the day before the server merge, now called “Limbs,” were able to start posting.

Posts about the fandom name started pouring in.

[How are we supposed to react to this?]

Is it okay to like it? That thing… Ah, it means they care that much, right…? Right…?

The neighbor’s cafe would delete any mention of the fandom name, but is it okay here…?

ㄴWell, Arang made this, so it should be fine to mention it, right?

ㄴJust because Arang is okay with it doesn’t mean we are.

ㄴLOL for real.

Since Arang named us that, we should just go with it…

ㄴFrom now on, we are Arang’s limbs.

ㄴLOL, this is ridiculous.

[From now on, I am Arang’s limb. Is this right?]

From today, I will live as Arang’s limb and dedicate myself to Arang.

LOL, I’m losing it.

I knew Arang was different from others, but… I never expected this LOL.

ㄴShe even said on a stream with 10,000 viewers that she couldn’t log in for a week because of her period LOL.

ㄴThat was insane LOL.

ㄴWait, hasn’t it been about a month since that incident?

ㄴOh…?

ㄴAh…?

ㄴNow that the cafe is made… Arang might disappear for a week again.

Seeing Arang struggling to control her emotions, Pinkubelly suggested that Arang log out.

Arang nodded, apologized for suddenly crying, and logged out of Leore.

The atmosphere instantly became quiet, and Kang Hangeul grabbed his head.

“I’ll go meet Arang for now…!”

“Pinku, check on Arang and let me know. I have an important appointment tomorrow.”

“Okay, Sunchoo. I’ll let you know right away.”

Hearing Pinku and Sunchoo’s conversation, Kang Hangeul quickly approached and said,

“Pinku, can you also let me know about Arang’s condition…?”

He was genuinely worried about Arang.

Kang Hangeul has been playing Leore with Arang for a long time. Despite the age difference, they were like close friends, so Pinku nodded.

“Don’t worry.”

In fact, Arang’s reaction this time was completely unexpected and shocked everyone.

Arang rarely shows her emotions.

Even when there are things that would make anyone annoyed, uncomfortable, or angry, she never shows those feelings.

The only emotion she shows is joy.

Even when things like this happened before, Arang would just laugh, play, and celebrate. But this time, she cried.

And she cried hard.

-Is Arang okay?

-What should we do?

-Ah, this is even more concerning because it’s right before the broadcast and the tournament…

-For real… It was shocking back then, but seeing her cry like this is heartbreaking…

The party members also started to worry about Arang’s condition.

Although Arang was right in front of them, they tried not to panic and just comforted her, but Arang logged out of Leore.

They suggested it, but Arang logged out herself.

This means Arang is seriously thinking about her condition.

Because in the almost three months since they met Arang, she has been on Leore for 16 hours a day as a baseline.

Even with headaches or fatigue, she would rest and nap in Leore, literally living in Leore.

To anyone watching, it would seem like Leore was her reality. That’s how dedicated Arang is to Leore.

In the past, they might have thought Arang just really liked Leore, but now, everyone who loves Arang and watches her through Kang Hangeul’s streams knows.

They know why Arang lives in Leore. Why she has no choice but to.

So for Arang to log out of Leore? It’s a serious matter.

To calm her emotions, Arang is taking a half-bath with Anna.

No matter how much she thinks about it, it’s just ridiculous.

Crying over losing a dice roll? That’s so girly. Wait, she is a girl now, so is this normal…?

Actually, thinking about it, Arang’s emotions are very childlike. If she wants to do something, she has to do it, and if it doesn’t go her way, she sulks or gets sad.

Arang has been in the hospital since she got sick in elementary school. Because of her illness, her mind has been like a vegetable, just existing.

She’s 15, but considering the years her mind was dead and the long hospital stays, her mental age is probably much lower than 15.

It’s truly heartbreaking.

As I thought about why I had trouble controlling my emotions in the warm water, in Anna’s arms, I realized a few things.

First, of course, it’s because of my period. But that alone isn’t enough to explain it.

So what I thought of was that both Arang and I wanted a Shiny Morpho.

I wanted the Shiny Morpho for its gold value, and Arang wanted it because it was pretty.

We both wanted the same thing, and that’s why I couldn’t control my emotions.

“Arang, how are you feeling?”

Anna stroked my head.

I nodded. It was just a moment of emotional difficulty earlier, but now I’m fine.

It’s ridiculous that I cried over a pet, but wait.

That pet is worth 5 million won, so isn’t it worth crying over? Even my past self would have cried.

I was so excited because I thought I would get it, but it was snatched right in front of me. A 5 million won pet.

When I first realized I was crying, I quickly stopped and tried to enjoy Leore, but even though I was fine, Arang’s emotions exploded as soon as she heard Kang Hangeul’s teasing.

Honestly, even my past self would have thought, “Is this guy doing this on purpose to mess with me?” Kang Hangeul was so tactless that it really set Arang off.

‘Thinking about it, this isn’t entirely my fault!’

Kang Hangeul shares some of the blame here.

A 15-year-old girl wants something, and you take it right in front of her and then tease her? Guilty as charged.

Pinkubelly quickly arrived at Arang’s hospital room.

“Arang!”

Not seeing Arang in the room, Pinku thought something serious had happened, but then she heard movement from the bathroom and hurriedly opened the door.

There, she found Arang enjoying a half-bath with a relaxed expression.

“Huh? Pinku…?”

Seeing Arang looking cheerful, Pinku decided not to bring up any negative topics and just started chatting with her, smiling.
