Chapter 19: The Stream That Shook Two Worlds
1.
【Streamer Gallery】
This is Streamer Gallery, a place meant for discussing streamers, but the reality was far different.
[General] Isn’t this crossing the line for real?
[General] Cerian is freaking hilarious lol
[General] Shouldn’t they apologize for this?
It was like a den of chaos.
Filled with provocation, fabrication, and hate, it was also a battlefield for streamer fandoms clashing over pride.
They thrived on daily scandals, controversies, and broadcasts.
There was a time when they talked about “Noir,” but…
[General] So what’s up with Noir?
No new info at all???
– Part-timer lol
– Who cares if she’s alive or dead? We can’t know anyway ㅇㅇ
– ???
– You find out then.
That topic had long faded from their interest.
Noir wasn’t a famous streamer, and with so little known about her, she wasn’t exciting enough to hold their attention.
– Stop talking about small-time YouTubers ㅇㅇ
└ For real lol
Above all, Noir was a YouTuber.
Since this place focused on face-cam streamers, her bait fizzled out quickly.
【Virtual Streamer Gallery】
What about the place where YouTubers were the main topic?
[General] Elena is so damn cute lol
[General] If you think this guy’s adorable, hit like lol
[General] Stream fail ffs lol
[General] What’s going on with Noir…
It was a similar scene.
The day the incident broke, it was chaos, but a day later, the flames had died down.
Noir wasn’t a big name, after all.
As both galleries regained peace, with people enjoying their favorite streamers and YouTubers, it happened.
[General] Noir’s streaming?
[General] Noir’s freaking streaming!!!
A nuke dropped on their galleries. It was completely out of the blue.
[General] Noir’s streaming???
[General] Huh? Now??? Why?
[General] What’s going on?
[General] No way lol
At first, most didn’t believe it.
Such bait had been posted plenty of times before.
[General] She’s streaming, you idiots
Here’s a screenshot ㅇㅇ Believe me already ffs
– For real?
– Why is this real???
– What the hell???
– Lmao what’s this lol
– What’s with this blurry screenshot lol
But when a viewer brought a screenshot, they had to believe it.
[General] Let’s gooooo~~~~
[General] Skipped a day, so she deserves a beating, right???
[General] Trolls, let’s go lololol
People who caught on flooded Noir’s stream.
– So what happened???
– What went down????
– Is this the stream that pulled all the aggro and then vanished????
– Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~
– I’m
– Falling
– Down
The chat was a chaotic mess with people pouring in from both galleries and other communities.
『Live Viewers: 5,123』
It was a quiet afternoon, so all attention focused here.
The viewer count skyrocketed, but the chaos was overwhelming.
“Testing, can you hear me?”
In this disorder, the mic turned on. But the voice made viewers freeze.
– ???
– Isn’t that Carrier’s voice?
– What???
– ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
– What’s going on…
Carrier’s voice came out of nowhere on Noir’s stream.
Caught off guard, viewers were stunned.
They tried donating to get answers, but it wasn’t easy.
『Minimum Donation Amount: 10,000 KRW』
The minimum donation was steep.

💬 Why the hell are you here?????
It wasn’t cheap, but a curious viewer donated anyway.
“Why am I here? Hmm…”
She paused, thinking, then spoke.
“Noona, you wanna explain, or should I?”
– Noona????
– Huh???
– Wasn’t she a girl???
– What??? Netkama????
Carrier’s words threw the chat into confusion.
Her voice was clearly female, yet she used “Noona.”
『Live Viewers: 6,523』
The viewer count surged further. Then, Noir, the stream’s host, spoke.
“I’ll explain. It’s my stream, so I should.”
– Why’s she so calm?
– This Noir feels kinda off;
– YouTuber voice is nice tho ㅇㅇ
– So what happened ffs
“Okay.”
Gulp—
Noir swallowed hard and continued.
“Hello. We’re here today to clear up recent misunderstandings.”
She paused to catch her breath.
“To get to the point, Carrier and I are family. Siblings, you could say.”
Her bombshell silenced the crowd beyond the monitors.
– ???????????
– Huh???
– What kind of nonsense is this???
– So family sniped each other???
– What???
But the silence was brief. Questions flooded in.

💬 So why were you crying when you went to talk alone? Was it a family fight?
As the chaos grew, a viewer donated. Noir, blushing, began to explain.
“It wasn’t a fight. I cried because I was overwhelmed with emotion. I never thought we’d reunite like this…”
– ????
– What the hell does that mean???
– Ugh, so confusing lololol
– This isn’t a riddle, why’s every word a maze;;;
Her words left viewers clutching their heads. Nothing was clear. Hayul stepped in.
“Noona, can I take it from here?”
“…Yeah.”
“We lost our parents in a car accident when we were young. After that, we were sent to an orphanage.”
– Oh…
– Wow…
– This is confusing;
– Sudden confession!
The orphanage revelation stunned viewers again! Hayul continued calmly.
“We lived together at first. But one day, a foreigner wanted to adopt me. I tried to refuse to stay with Noona…”
“I told her to go. I thought having parents abroad would be better than being an orphan in Korea.”
– Oh…
– That’s kinda sad…
– ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Why’s this suddenly so sad???
The chat’s reaction was largely sympathetic.
– Emotional manipulation lol
– What nonsense lol, what the hell
– What kind of explanation is this????
– Show proof lol
Some doubted the story, of course.
– Asking for proof for this???
– Are these guys psychopaths?
– Kick out the trolls;
But they were dismissed as trolls. Hayul, not one to leave doubts hanging, spoke up.
“In case you’re skeptical, I brought our graduation album, birth certificates, and my UK citizenship and passport.”
Personal info was redacted, but the names and birthdates matched.
“Is this proof enough?”
– That’s legit…
– Acknowledged
– Clean ㄷㄷ
– Doesn’t seem faked, hmm.
Hayul’s evidence dispelled doubts. Even the trolls quieted down.

💬 So what happened after that?
“We had to part without knowing where the other went. No way to contact, no info, nothing.”
“We were too young back then…”
Noir’s voice grew heavy.
“After that, we lived separate lives. Then, after my adoptive parents passed in an accident, I returned to Korea.”
– Another accident?
– Oh no…
– Losing parents twice…
– Her life’s been rough…
Viewers empathized, grieving with Carrier’s tragic story.

💬 Why come back to Korea instead of staying in the UK???
“Being alone in a foreign country felt so lonely and scary. Maybe because of childhood memories, the UK never felt like home.”
She swallowed and continued.
“So I came back to Korea, desperate. I wanted to see Noona again.”
Hayul shared her efforts to find Noona—visiting the orphanage, contacting the embassy, waiting at places tied to their memories.
– Oh ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– So sad…
– Finding someone you parted with as a kid must be tough?
– For real; like a needle in a haystack?
“The orphanage had shut down, so it was really hard. She said she couldn’t find me either, right?”
“Yeah. I gave up and was scrolling through shorts when I heard a familiar voice!”
Hayul’s tone brightened, clearly excited.
“At first, I wasn’t sure. Her voice was a bit different from childhood. But the more I watched, the surer I was. It was Noona.”
– Wow lolololol
– You recognized her?
– Damn, that’s like a movie ffs lolol
– Isn’t this fate?
– Is this that sixth sense thing???
“After that, you know the rest. To meet Noona, I was gaming and ended up duoing with Elena-nim. Then I sniped her, and we reunited.”
“It was truly a miracle.”
Noir said with a small smile.
“Even now, it feels like a dream.”
“It’s not a dream.”
“…Yeah.”

💬 Why call her Noona if you’re a girl?
Hayul responded to the question.
“Oh, I call her Noona because it’s familiar. When I was a kid, I called her Noona instead of Unnie.”
– Ohh
– That happens sometimes ㅇㅇ
– Habits from age three last till eighty
– A girl saying Noona is kinda fresh ㅇㅇ
『Live Viewers: 6,523』
Even after the explanation, many viewers stayed.
– So what’s next?
– Are you streaming together now?
– Carrier declared Challenger, what’s up with that???
– Duo let’s gooo
– Ooh, duo’s nice lol they’re in the same tier
Far more viewers than Noir’s average.
They thought she wouldn’t miss this chance.
With such a huge influx, continuing the stream to retain viewers was key.
“Now that we’ve cleared everything up, we’ll sign off.”
But Carrier’s words were the opposite.
– ????
– Ending here?
– Huh???
– What?
– Kicking away this opportunity?
“We’d love to keep going, but we want to spend more time as family. Thanks for understanding.”
Noir’s polite request left viewers disappointed but accepting.
– Tsk…
– It’s been years, so…
– Can’t be helped…
“We’ll head out now. Thank you so much for watching. Have a great day!”
『Stream has ended.』
With a brief farewell, they ended the stream without hesitation or regret.
– Alright then…
– To the community~~~~~~~~
– Time for pinned posts lol?
The stream ended, but the ripples were just beginning.
