A roulette packed with all sorts of missions, including an immediate clock-out.
Since it's spun after claiming first place, it's naturally brimming with good rewards.
Things like rest tickets or broadcast time reducers—various perks to make playing more comfortable.
But then, out of nowhere, a drinking mukbang pops up.
Of course, the roulette did have eating delicious food challenges to begin with.
When the stream drags on, hitting one of those can switch up the mood, boost morale, and get you back into the game without issue.
But alcohol was a whole different story.
Drinking in a situation like this?
You need laser focus to snag first and spin for that clock-out ticket, and booze getting in the way? Straight-up negative.
So why the hell was that even in the roulette?
"The Starless kept throwing fits about needing at least one trap..."
The culprit was the editor hanging out in the studio for broadcast support and editing duties.
"Slipped it in while Yu-ra wasn't paying attention... Didn't think it'd actually land."
What're the odds? No way it'd hit for real.
With that mindset, it was tossed in as a half-hearted concession to the Starless uproar—and it hit.
This... blaming the editor would be too harsh.
If anyone's at fault, it's Jun-su Kim's rotten luck for pulling it anyway.
💬 Live Chat— StarlessLololol, stream's saved now? Have a drink~— StarlessPenalty aside, what the hell is Kim Jun-su's bad luck???— StarlessCome to think of it, Black Star's always had weirdly bad gacha luck. Never once avoided pity or got a dupe.— StarlessActing all "bad luck averages out eventually" like you weren't scraping by lolol. Yeah, it sure averaged out alright? Lololol
This shocking result naturally sparked a Starless festival in the chat.
The mood was great after Pretty Boy—whom they'd suspected might be a trap card—turned out to be a legit gaming pro.
They were riding high, thinking they'd keep winning firsts, spinning the roulette for an early clock-out, when the drinking mukbang crashed the party.
Drinking now would tank focus and performance, obviously.
The words "stream extension" echoed crystal clear in his ears, leaving his vision dark.
"Ah, this... um..."
If the stream had already been going long and early clock-out was off the table, he'd have just done the mukbang.
But they'd barely started.
Switching to booze now? Vision went dark for real, and Jun-su Kim stepped up to salvage things.
"Let's do it like this."
No backing out once the roulette picked it.
But cracking open drinks right now felt off.
"For a drinking mukbang, we'd need the 19+ tag, and we've got underage viewers right now? Not like we've been streaming forever—it's just starting, slapping on 19+ out of nowhere would be weird..."
Selling out the underage viewers as a negotiation tactic.
And it wasn't wrong.
On Twinkle, booze or smokes required a mandatory 19+ tag per rules.
Unverified accounts auto-block viewing.
With plenty of minors watching, going 19+ for mukbang now? Nah.
"We'll keep going for now, switch to 19+ after midnight when the date rolls over, and do the mukbang then."
— StarlessWhat if we pull clock-out before then?— StarlessBlack Star's gacha luck? No need to worry about that.— StarlessNah, we've got Yura Yura and Pretty Boy too. Someone else might pull it, so lock it down.
"Pull clock-out? Cool, then we'll do a celebratory mukbang, chat a bit, play a little more, and wrap. Rough math says mukbang till 4 or 5 AM—that's plenty long, right?"
Compromise at that level.
Jun-su's voice carried that vibe, and the Starless grumbled but accepted.
— StarlessTch... This once only?— StarlessNewbies on stream's first day, so we'll let it slide this far.— StarlessNo, first day means proper hazing. No fan service? Fan service~— StarlessWhat service?— StarlessExtra missions like no assault rifles or whole team snipers only?— StarlessNice. Or Yura Yura trade fan service? Pls?
The situation was starting to settle.
A fan service from Yu-ra Kang would wrap it up nicely.
Not a big deal—just tying her hair.
Viewers loved watching her gather her waist-length straight hair into a ponytail.
It naturally accentuated her chest.
The nape peeking through strands, the underarm flash when she raised her arms.
Absolute territory pose—perfect for the perverts calling themselves gentlemen, the Starless.
'Eh, not like that's hard.'
She was already thinking of re-tying her loosened hair from changing, and sealing the deal their way worked too.
Just as Yu-ra reached for her hair tie...
— StarlessNo! I wanna see Pretty Boy do it over Yura Yura?— StarlessOh? Tempting proposal.— StarlessYou pervs! Love that gentleman energy.
Not the first time seeing it, chats demanding Yura Yura step aside started rolling.
Why miss a chance to see otokonoko charm?
Yu-ra did it occasionally for fans—even during collab standby earlier—but Pretty Boy was different.
They wanted tomboy fan service when the chance arose.
— StarlessBut he's a dude inside? Just enjoy Yura's service scene?— StarlessDummy! That's why it's hot! That face on a guy? Ugh... driving me crazy.
Opposition popped up, but rampaging gentleman energy crushed and ignored it instantly.
Jun-su Kim and Yu-ra Kang flustered by the heated chat reaction.
"Go find reaction streams for that crap—why bring it to a gaming broadcast?"
Jun-su fidgeted, worried after hearing Ha-rang's past earlier—maybe it'd make him uncomfortable.
'...Somehow my pride's bruised.'
Yu-ra scratched her ego, sidelined behind a guy out of Starless interest.
Ha-rang, who'd been quietly watching, stepped in.
"Sure, why not."
If he was doing internet streams, he'd need reaction skills like this.
Not full reaction pro, but for big donations, something to give back—practice for that wasn't bad.
"So, what exactly do I do?"
Ha-rang was mentally prepped to handle anything.
Ready to weaponize his looks and thrill the Starless.
Had been since inviting Jun-su over as a "tech guy"—no backing out now.
The Starless dove into fierce debate on requests.
— StarlessZero two go go— StarlessZero two's outdated. Something else.— StarlessDon't know "old pros are best"? This is peak zero two.— StarlessToo random tho. Ask for something chill.
Consensus reached.
⭐ Donation— NotGenderScam (1,000 won)Show pits pls.⭐ Donation— Sekiro2WhyNoRelease (1,000 won)Praise the sun pls.
So very... Starless.
Donations like that made Yu-ra question the origin of the "Starless" moniker for Twinkle viewers.
Twinkle = star + NEET? Nah, probably Twinkle + negative balance.
Anyway, Starless opinion solidified.
Ha-rang, newbie to streaming, could only tilt his head at the request.
"Pits?"
The two seasoned Twinkle streamers felt secondhand embarrassment.
"What's so great about a guy's pits like mine... Jeez, fine. Feast your eyes. This work?"
Ha-rang shrugged like prepping for a talent show dance, arms up like it was no biggie.
Starless went wild over his camera-exposed pale skin.
— StarlessBonus thanks!— Starless*lick lick lick lick lick*— Starless????? So clean? Shaved?— StarlessDerm clinic vet here: that's not shaved, it's just... no hair growth at all?— StarlessNo way! Natural white pits?!
Yu-ra couldn't help thinking, 'Sigh, you pervs.'
At the same time, the more she learned, the more complicated her feelings toward Ha-rang—who was more womanly and perfect than women.
No unwanted body hair getting in the way of beauty?
That's a guy? Even human?
Yu-ra's doubts and Ha-rang's noble pit sacrifice settled things.
Back to Black Star Crew basics, the trio gamed on.
First-place lie? Snipers swarmed on the news, making top spots tougher.
Even with godlike aim, this wasn't your standard FPS—raw shooting skill alone didn't cut it.
Luck on gear let you steamroll, skills/ultimates could flip games in one shot.
That's why it was popular, but right now, that depth screwed Black Star Squad.
"Our farming's sucking right now, no?"
"Snipers keep swarming... No time even if we want to."
"Human farming would've helped."
Sniper hordes, hellbent on shitting on Black Star Squad's path, made it rough.
Even hiding queues drew this heat—tongues wagged at sniper grit as they pushed on.
Thus, the syncing trio held ~50% win rate despite sabotage.
Five wins in ten games earned roulette spins.
— StarlessExpected ex-pro and Yura Yura to carry, but Pretty Boy's skill???— StarlessCan't do outdoors so board games to everything since kid—carries hard.— StarlessWeird... I gamed since kid too, why not Pretty Boy level...?— StarlessIt's cuz you're...— StarlessGood at games, go... go... pretty, should've streamed ages ago no suffering.— StarlessWas scared of crowds back then. Good it worked out now.
As time passed, watching the seamless trio squad, Starless shrugged off the pros but marveled at Ha-rang's skill.
Yu-special logs checked out—no prior play, yet this good?
Pro material praise flew—what now?
"Why no clock-out on this roulette...?"
Priority was pulling clock-out, but spins yielded nada.
Time hit midnight, date changed, deep into dawn.
Roulette removes drawn items, so eventually clock-out appears.
But crap luck dragged it out—mukbang time arrived.
"Heard we might crash here... Guess we really are."
"My deepest apologies...!"
Jun-su bowed at Ha-rang's dazed mutter.
Dragging a near-stranger into this grind? Poor host indeed.
Thought it'd end by 1 AM latest—who knew.
"It's fine. I'm enjoying it actually? Staying up late at a friend's, sleepover... Always wanted that."
"Ah..."
Jun-su's chest tightened at Ha-rang's smile.
"Ahem, one more game till mukbang food arrives?"
Cleared throat, changed topic.
Early exit hopes dashed?
All relaxed now, fun over tryhard, chatting away.
Starless joined till mukbang prep, questions flying.
— StarlessDoes this mean Pretty Boy joins Black Star Crew?— StarlessI'm for! Fun combo. Eyes happy esp Yura Yura + Pretty Boy~.— StarlessAgainst. Bus too far—crew join? No.— StarlessFine with crew, but solo Pretty Boy intriguing too.
Main topic: their killer chem today—would Ha-rang join Black Star Crew?
— StarlessAsk other crew too?— StarlessNo need. Leader decides.— StarlessNot MCN, friendship-focused crew? Gotta poll others.
Parties silent, Starless in chaos.
Ha-rang sensed the honey drip ending.
"Haven't decided my stream style yet."
Joining game-focused Black Star Crew locks direction too soon.
Partly backlash hedge, but sincere.
Wanting to try everything in streaming, crew felt premature.
Occasional collabs best?
Jun-su felt slight regret but nodded—fine too.
Not one-offs; fate'd pull him in eventually.
Shifted topics.
"Pretty Boy, you drink at all?"
"Booze? Don't like it, so not great."
Ha-rang's "tasteless, why bother" drew Jun-su's belly laugh.
Reeked of lightweight—easy guess.
But that guess,
"...You said you're bad at it?"
"Huh? Yeah, not great."
Shattered seeing Ha-rang unfazed after two soju bottles.
'Don't like it my ass...'
Yu-ra, betting childish superiority on tolerance, sank too.
