"Okay, that's it for today. Goodbye chat."

Roe Deer, despite only starting streaming a few months ago, quickly gained popularity due to his unique content. Usually, people who are in this line of work are loud and talkative, as they want to entertain their viewers as much as possible. But he wasn't like that. Roe Deer was pretty quiet when streaming.
The silence in his streams was somehow both comfortable and uncomfortable, but his fans liked it either way because they found his shy and awkward character cute. The fact that Roe Deer was a faceless streamer also made people more curious about him.
Kim Soleum, the guy behind Roe Deer, just ended his stream. He had been playing Stardew Valley for days, but lately, his fans had wanted him to try out a horror game at least once. Soleum had been rambling about some of the ghost stories he had been reading, and his fans appeared to love it.
So now, everyone thinks it'd be nice if they saw Roe Deer playing those types of games because he seemed like he would be good at it.
Like hell he would.
He hasn't told his fans that he's a big coward.
Anyway, Soleum was streaming to pass time since his boyfriend told him he'd be out late today. He was probably at a company drinking party of some sort, "I wonder what he's up to right now.."
[ihatebadppl: why can i still hear his voice]
[livelaughloveCash: guys i think he lowk forgot to end the stream..]
[zhanghaomentioned: who is he talking about omg]
He should be here any minute now…
As if on cue, Soleum heard someone entering the front door. He heard a bit of stumbling footsteps, probably because his boyfriend was already drunk. And then, the man opened the door to the room Soleum was in.
"Grapes…"
"Hyung," Soleum stood up from his chair, greeting his boyfriend. As soon as they were in front of each other, Choi hugged him and put his head on Soleum's shoulder. His hyung smelled like alcohol and cigarettes. I thought I told him to stop smoking..
"Hyung, you gotta wash up and go to bed," they were a few centimeters away from Soleum's desk, right near his streaming set-up. He was too distracted by his boyfriend to notice that he has in fact, not ended his stream.
[norulvr: this feels so intimate… we should not be hearing this..]
[tobei_or_not_tobei: someone tell him to end the stream pls]
Choi grumbled for a bit and stared at Soleum before he started speaking.
"Hmmnh, I just got homee, andfd you want me gone alreadyyy? I thought you liked your hyung better than that." Choi said in a slurred speech, while putting an annoying pout on his face.
[GreatestTVHost: Quite amusing! If I must say.]
[akechilvr: WHO IS THATT]
[wriothesleybakery: it sounds like his boyfriend??? omg]
[jaekwan1728: Let's all respect his privacy, please. Don't be weird.]
Soleum blushed, totally unaware of the barrage of comments his stream is having right now. He also sighed at the same time. If sober Choi was always teasing him 24/7, then drunk Choi was somehow worse… He needed to get this man to rest now.
He was about to drag Choi to the bathroom when he felt the man hug him tighter, peppering his face with kisses, "Hyung—"
"You are soooo adorableeee Grapes-iee. I must have done heroic things in my past life to meet you hehehe."
[jaekwan1728: ….]
[Mie683_XjHn: yeah i don't think we should be hearing this..]
"This guy—Hahh…"
"Hey, don't be rude to yourrfd sunbae. Don't forget I'm olderr."
Soleum could do nothing but stand there and take all Choi's kisses, his hyung giggling like a madman. The guy was practically all over him, as if they haven't seen each other for months. Although, Choi has always been the one displaying physical affection, so this was not an unusual scene between them.
After a few moments, Choi finally spoke up.
"Grapes-ie, can you get water for me, pleasse?"
[TheGOATalt: this guy sounds like a loser]
[TheGOATalt has been banned]
Soleum had noticed that Choi had been acting weird since earlier, like he was putting on an act. But he let the thought pass in his head. "Sure, hyung. If you stop hugging me so tight, I can barely breathe, you know…"
Choi seemed to contemplate a bit, "hmmh. If you give me a kiss, I'll let you go."
[livelaughloveCash: …………]
[goral___: where are the mods.. ]
This is what Soleum meant when he said he needed to take the guy to rest now. His antics were gonna get worse if he let him be. He sighed again. It looks like Choi is actually not gonna let him go until he fulfils his wishes.
Sometimes, he thinks of Choi as an otter that has a favorite rock—the rock being Soleum himself. It would make sense because Choi is playful and affectionate, while he sees himself as someone who is dull and firm. Although, Choi would argue otherwise.
Soleum had no choice (a lie), so he did end up giving Choi a peck on his cheek, then immediately took the chance to get out of his grasp. He was gonna get Choi to come with him, but he said he wanted to stay in the room for some reason.
He didn't have the energy to reason with a drunk man, so he let him stay inside while he gets the water.
As Soleum left the room, Choi scanned around and then walked up to his boyfriend's desk. He stared at the computer screen for a bit, then suddenly spoke.
"Is this thing on….?" He tapped the mic as if to check if it was working.
[xiaomeowww: is he talking to.. us??]
[130666daily: HE FOUND OUT??]
Choi watched the dying chat numbers slowly rise up again.
"Hahh, hello everyone. My Grapes-ie can reallyy get careless sometimes. You guys have got to be patient with him, okay?"
[ihatebadppl: Ar you Roe Deer's boyfrined .]
[lizard123: We understand.]
"Am I Roe Deer's boyfriend? Hmmm, you guys should ask him instead. Just know that I can get very jealous, okay? I'm here to remind you guys he's mine."
[TheGOATaltALT: what is this guy talking about bruh]
[TheGOATaltALT: thank GOD i didn't get banned again]
[GreatestTVHost: Oh my! How possessive!]
[RoeDeerFan: WHAT TEH HELLLLJFHF]
"Okay, I'm closing the stream now! Please continue supporting Roe Deer, yeah? Goodbye, everyone."
[TheGOATaltALT has been banned]
Choi sighed as he fully closed Soleum's computer. He was still a bit drunk, but he had slightly sobered. Earlier, when he entered the room, the first thing he noticed was his boyfriend's computer.
Choi assumed that his Grapes had just ended streaming.
But he had also noticed some of the parts of the screen were still moving. It was likely the chatbox.
So, he put on his pathetic boyfriend act to entertain them, because why not? And then Choi sent Soleum to the kitchen so he could talk to the chat alone, and ended the stream himself. If Soleum had found out that he had accidentally left the stream ongoing, he would have panicked. So Choi made sure he did not know by sending him to the kitchen first.
Either way, Soleum would still panic once he found out that he had not ended the stream, but Choi would leave that to tomorrow's Soleum. He wanted his cute, sweet, and soft Grapes-ie right now to pay attention to him.
Speaking of his boyfriend, Soleum entered the room with a glass of water in his hand, "Did you say anything, hyung? "
"Oh, it's nothing," Choi walked away from his desk and raised his hand to ruffle Soleum's hair. "Just talking to myself."
Soleum knew he was hiding something, but he couldn't be bothered to worry about that now. Choi drank the glass of water and then complied with whatever Soleum was making him do. They both washed up, and got ready to sleep.
———
Choi was sleeping peacefully when he heard a familiar voice call out to him.
"HYUNG!"
Ah, he must have found out.
