“Hi, hello! Mira is joining today, chat!” Zoey greeted her audience as soon as her livestream started. Whenever she could, either on her day off or even really late at night, she tried to stream while she played games to connect with their fans more.
“Hi, chat,” Mira said, waving at the camera. As soon as she returned from her work out, Zoey dragged her to her streaming room and gave her no choice. Understandably, the chat picked up as soon as they noticed the pink-haired girl.
turtlemaster: hi zoey!!! Hi mira!!!
huntrixontop: ohhh is mira playing today?
mirasrealfgf: can someone spoil the next comeback pls 👀
queenrumi: is rumi joining?
“Rumi has a schedule, unfortunately!” Zoey explained. “If she gets home while we’re still live, maybe Mira can wrangle her to join us for a bit.”
“And before anyone asks, we’re not telling you what schedule she has,” Mira added, smirking teasingly.
“Honestly, we have no idea what to do today. Any requests?” Zoey asked, skimming the chat for a possible game they could play.
polylight4lyf: overcooked???
zorumira: fortnite pls!!!!!!
sturdygamer: zoey are you ever going to update you animal crossing island?
mirasrealfgf: i kinda need to see mira play valorant
Zoey bursted out laughing. “I do need to get back into Animal Crossing, but I think that’s for another day.”
“It’s been a while since we last played Overcooked,” Mira pointed out.
The younger girl bounced in her seat. “A 2-player Overcooked is gonna be a nightmare, let’s do it!
As Zoey set up the game and the controllers, Mira was interacting with the fans.
HuntersUnite: what are you guys up to these days?
“These days, we’ve been trying to recharge mostly,” Mira answered. “We still have some schedules we have to go to, but nothing too crazy.”
“Alright, here’s yours.” Zoey handed Mira her controller before adding, “We’re mostly doing photoshoots and attending events, recently. Of course, we’re still writing music every day.”
As they started the game, they slowly forgot about the fact that they were livestreaming.
“Wait.” Zoey stared at Mira before exclaiming, “Are you not wearing your contacts?”
“Of course not,” she responded. “Why would I wear contacts when we’re just home?”
“Because we’re playing a game! No wonder you’ve been confusing tuna and shrimp!”
“Me?! You’re the one all over the place!”
justchilling: are they always like this?
polylight4lyf: yes
zorumira: oh yeah
for_ryurumi: i’d be more concerned if they weren’t like this
“Oh I hate this level,” Mira groaned.
“This is the third level, Mir.”
“Well, I hate the levels where we have to cook something.”
“It’s literally called Overcooked!” Zoey cackled. “We’re not even at the level where we have to clean the dishes.”
“Maybe Overcooked was a horrible idea,” Mira argued.
“Oh shit, I trashed the rice”
“Zoey, I love you, but oh my god.”
“I don’t think we’ve sent out a single plate on this level,” Zoey pointed out.
“2-player Overcooked is a nightmare.”
“I told you!”
“I give up!” Mira threw her controller on the desk. “Zoey, just play Fortnite, I’m gonna talk to chat instead.”
“Rumi didn’t raise quitters,” Zoey said while laughing. “Let’s just do a few more rounds, then we’ll play something else. Chat, please recommend chill games so we can cool down.”
But instead of leaving game recommendations, the chat was filled with fans losing their minds over a story on instagram with the caption: Guess what?
Of course, Mira and Zoey chose this moment to lock into the game.
“Okay, let’s do this instead. Since we’re not stuck on a single side, let’s both focus on one order at a time,” Zoey explained. “So, say I do Order 1, you focus on Order 2, then I’ll do Order 3, and so on.”
“Sounds good,” Mira agreed.
zoeyssoldier: RUMI’S HAIRRRR
zorumira: GIRLS I NEED YALL TO CHECK YUR PHONES
turtlemaster: i can’t believe zoey isn’t on her phone when she needs to be???
HuntersUnite: mira mira mira mira mira check ig mira mira zoey zoey zoey zoey hello
“Are you guys okay?” Mira asked once she finally focused on the chat. “Zo, how do you slow down the chat again?”
“Oh, I’ll do it, here!” Zoey smiled and caught up with the comments. “Wait, what?”
Both girls scrambled for their phones and saw thousands of notifications tagging them on Instagram. Before they could open the app though, the door to the computer room opened.
“Mira? Zoey? You two still playing?” Rumi asked and peaked through the gap, a smirk playing on her lips.
The two younger girls gaped at their leader before turning to the camera.
“Bye, chat!” Mira hurriedly said.
“Thanks for hanging out with us, let’s do this again soon. Bye!” As soon as she said that, Zoey ended the stream. She and Mira turned back to Rumi and continued staring at her.
“Oh my god.” Mira rubbed her eyes, as if her vision was playing tricks on her.
“You cut your hair!” Zoey had a wide smile.
Ever since they first met Rumi, she kept her hair in a long braid in honor of her mother. She had talked about possibly cutting her hair for a while now, but never had the courage to do so.
But now, her hair was short, ended just above her shoulders styled with waves that should look messy but didn’t.
Mira and Zoey stood up and hugged her, but the taller girl immediately pulled back. “Hang on, is this why Zoey’s chat was freaking out?!”
“You let them see first?!” Zoey gasped.
“Of course not!” Rumi snorted. “Maybe if one of you checked your phones, you’d have known before them.”
Zoey unlocked her phone and saw Rumi sent a few messages on their group chat.
Rumi 💜: Guess what 😏
Rumi 💜: CKRumi.jpg (A photo from Rumi’s photoshoot with Calvin Klein. She’s on the floor wearing a black sports bra, with her bright purple hair and smirk stealing the show.)
“That’s…” Zoey trailed.
“Illegal,” Mira finished for her.
“Too bad,” Rumi teased, knowing that she had her girls wrapped around her finger. Again. “It’s gonna take a while for my hair to grow back. Better get used to it. Anyway, I’m gonna go and shower.”
Zoey and Mira were still staring at the photo but snapped back into focus once Rumi left the room. Without saying anything, both girls followed their girlfriend and planned to show her how much they truly loved the new hair.
