≫ No no no no More like old-timer vs rookie
≫ I bet Vamp-
nim
‘s gonna cry~
“Alright, stop teasing you guys. Have you thought of some questions for Citrus-
nim
?”
≫ Yep.
≫ Nope~
≫ Nope! We were busy making fun of you!!
≫ Where do you live?
≫ Sorry, but… not really curious LOL
The viewers, seeming to have decided they’d rather tease Siwol than entertain this new guest, offered lackluster responses.
Just then, thankfully, a sponsored question popped up.
[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ‘IChooseYouVampikachu’-

!
Citrus-
nim
, tell us about your first love.]
Si-wol cocked his head, puzzled, as the automated voice read out the question. First love? Out of the blue like this? The question was so random that he even began to suspect that the viewer was deliberately trying to make Citrus uncomfortable because they didn’t like him.
≫ LOLOLOL A class’ question LOLOL
≫ Student Teacher, who is it~ LMAO
≫ Student teacher Citrus-
nim
LOLOLOLOLOL
≫ This question is hilarious LOL Answer please!!! I’m curious LOL
But contrary to Si-wol’s worries, the viewers’ reactions were surprisingly enthusiastic. Even Citrus, based on the quick glance Si-wol snuck, didn’t seem particularly opposed to the question. Siwol cautiously pressed on.
“Citrus-
nim
, would you mind answering that?”
“I initially didn’t plan to respond to questions about vampires, but this one sounds intriguing.”
And with that, a spark of interest flickered in his eyes, and he began to recount his first love story—something Si-wol was not remotely interested in hearing.
However, the viewers were completely captivated, hanging onto his every word. The moment Citrus was finished, someone asked Cherry the same question, and then, inevitably, it was Si-wol’s turn.
[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, ‘Nectar’-
nim
!
I’m curious about Vampi-
nim
‘s first love story, too! Don’t even think of running away!
Hoho
]
Si-wol tried to gloss over it, pretending he didn’t see, but after letting a few thousand won donations slide, he was caught off guard with a sudden ten-thousand-won donation. Si-wol winced and, averting his gaze, mumbled an excuse.
“Huh? Um… well, I don’t really have a first love story to tell.”
“Oh come on—who doesn’t have a first love?” Cherry teased, giving Siwol a playful nudge as he tried to dodge the question.
“The two of us spilled our guts, and you’re just gonna get away with it like that? Not gonna happen! Either cough up the ten thousand won, or better yet—since you didn’t answer the question—make it a hundred thousand!”
“But… I really don’t have one. I can’t just make something up, can I?”
“Wow, look at you trying to wriggle your way out of this! Are you serious? No first love?”
“Yes, I truly don’t have one. How could I have experienced first love when I don’t even know what love is?”
“Oh my God! Everyone, did you hear that? Vamp-
nim
says he doesn’t know what love is!”
≫ Someone quickly fetch his info from
Namuwiki
[2]
Namuwiki is a Korean language wiki.
.
≫ [Breaking News] Streamer Vampi-
nim
causes controversy with his statement, “I don’t know what love is.”
≫ Sounds like some song lyrics LOL
≫ I bet there’s actually a song with those lyrics for real????
≫ I don’t know love yet~ I have to wait a little longer~
≫ OMG LOLOL Look at Vampi-
nim
planning his escape route LOLOLOLOL
≫ LOLOLOL Whoops LOLOLOLOL
≫ Love: A feeling of deep affection and care for a person or entity.
≫ Ahem, ahem~ So, do you understand love now??
The viewers, latching onto his offhand comment, erupted into a frenzy of teasing. Siwol shot a betrayed look at Cherry, who, glancing at the chat, chimed in.
“You heard about Citrus-
nim
and my first love earlier, right? Your heart races when you just see their face, you feel hot all over, and your heart pounds with these unfamiliar feelings. You feel restless, wanting to run away, but then you also want to get closer to them, to touch them. That’s what love is.”
“…..”
“Are you saying you’ve never felt that way about anyone? Not even the tiniest bit of fondness?”
“Well… uhm… that is…”
The truth was, there was one person who made him feel that way. Someone who made his heart race every time they met, who set his blood on fire, who filled him with a nervous anticipation. He was someone Siwol constantly wanted to run from, yet something about him drew Si-wol back in again and again.
‘But… I only feel that way about Yi-eon-ssi because he’s a hunter.’
His heart raced when he saw Yi-eon because he was terrified of him. He felt hot all over because Yi-eon always seemed to catch him in the most embarrassing situations. He was constantly on edge because he never knew when Yi-eon’s gentle facade would shatter, revealing the ruthless hunter beneath. And yes, he would escape from Yi-eon in a heartbeat if he ever had the chance. But in the meantime, he’d gladly take every drop of blood the hunter offered.
And yet… people called these complicated feelings “love.”
“What? Sounds like there is someone! Isn’t there?”
“No, there isn’t!”
“But your face is bright red! Even Citrus-
nim
can see it! Citrus-
nim
, take a look at Vampi-
nim
’s face. Does that look like the face of someone who’s never been in love?”
At Cherry’s urging, Citrus glanced at Si-wol, then nodded nonchalantly.
“He definitely has a first love.”
“
Eep
! No, I swear I don’t!”
“
Eyyy
—. Denying it so vehemently just proves our point! Even the chat agrees.”
≫ Busted LOLOLOL

nim

≫ Spill the tea, Vampi
nim
!! Who is it?!
≫ LOLOLOL Vampi-
nim
completely caught off guard LOLOLOL
≫ Aw, Vampi-
nim
’s surprisingly bad at hiding this kind of stuff… so cute
They were relentless. Si-wol, backed into a corner, tried to fight back, but his attempts only came across as the cute defiance of a puppy whose teeth had yet to grow in.
With his face flushed red from embarrassment, he raised his arms to hide it. He needed to cool down somehow, but all he could see when he closed his eyes was Yi-eon, his natural enemy.
Ironically, all he could think about were the times Yi-eon had been kind to him. He tried to picture the hunter’s murderous intent, but instead, all that came to mind was the gentle caress of his hand against his cheek, the ghost of a smile gracing his lips. He remembered how, despite his rough words, Yi-eon had been considerate and generous.
‘I’m a vampire, and he’s a hunter. L-Love has nothing to do with this… It makes no sense!’
Siwol’s heart was pounding in his chest, and he desperately tried to rationalize it away.
‘But why is my heart beating so fast…? It must be arrhythmia. Yeah, something’s wrong with my heart. Ugh, is there even a hospital that treats vampires? I need to get this checked out…’
He nibbled on his lower lip, his anxiety mounting. Seeing this, Cherry cried out in alarm.
“Oh my God! Vampi-
nim
, are you crying?”
“No, it’s just… you kept pushing even after I said it wasn’t true…”
Siwol mumbled, his voice thick with unshed tears. Cherry reached out toward the camera, partially blocking its view.
“Okay, everyone, that’s enough teasing for one day! We can’t make him cry! I’m sorry, Vampi-
nim
, I got a little carried away.”
≫ Yeah, we went too far;
≫ This is why people call us toxic~
≫ Sorry… feeling kinda bad now ㅠ
≫ He’s still in his twenties, maybe he really hasn’t had a first love yet
≫ Judging by his reaction, he probably has one though LOLOL
≫ Hey! Stop teasing him already.
≫ Okay, okay~ We believe you~ LOLOLOL

[Thank you for the 50,000 won donation, ‘Nectar’-
nim
!
Here’s some yellow paper to dry them. ㅠ Sorry for going overboard ㅠㅠ Don’t cry.]
“Thank you for the donations…” Si-wol dabbed at his eyes with the tissue Cherry handed him. Despite shedding only a few tears due to overwhelming emotions, his pale face was now flushed crimson.
“Ah, right. I need to do the donation reactions…”
Donations had been made, so he had to hold up his end of the bargain as a streamer. However, seeing him sniffling like this, no one in the chat had the heart to demand their reactions.
≫ We’ll just pretend we got your reactions!
≫ Don’t cryㅠㅠ
≫ But shouldn’t he at least do the 50,000 won one?
≫ That’s right
≫ Look at all these clueless people tsk tsk
≫ Basic rule of the internet: the ones who ask for reactions are never the ones donating LOL
≫ Are they blind? Don’t they know how dedicated Vampi-
nim
is to his donation reactions? He’s the best!
≫ To anyone asking for a reaction: go check out the bulletin board, there’s a whole thread dedicated to Vampi-
nim
’s best reactions. Go see for yourselves.
Fortunately, more viewers were supportive of Si-wol. Thinking he had navigated the chaotic situation well, Si-wol glanced at the clock on the wall. Two hours had already passed since the broadcast began. Yi-eon would be arriving soon.
