As expected of things with the "first" label attached to them, Diah's first solo track, Bright Day, was special. The short lody edited for the teaser continued to linger in Ha-eun’s ears, a clear sign of how impactful it was.
“I guess they really ant it when they said to expect sothing good.”
- Expectation success
- So when is the full version coming out? So when is the full version coming out? So when is the full version coming out?
- Diah in serious mode, wow
- The 1-year-old is huge, lol
It was definitely a lie to say she hadn’t been expecting it at all. Ever since she heard that the music video was nearly finished, Ha-eun had been counting down the days.
However, when she finally unwrapped the packaging, she found a product far more polished than she had anticipated.
“Hey, this is ~! Praise Diah~!”
Ha-eun’s excited voice was captured by the broadcast mic. It had already been a rewarding day, but with the teaser video as a bonus, dopamine was flowing.
Ding.

: The lyrics were made by Noeulis, but is there no bonus?
“Bonus? What’s that? Oh, you an like a performance bonus, right? Got it.”
While Ha-eun usually controlled her emotions with ease, when it ca to broadcasting as Diah, it was the opposite. She tended to be swept away by the emotions she felt as Diah.
She didn’t quite understand why this happened. Perhaps it was because it was sothing the past Ha-eun had always dread of. Or maybe it was because she had imagined Diah as a character that was completely opposite to her own nature.
‘What should I do to get a good reaction...?’
If Ha-eun had no mories of her past life, if she had grown up without any bitter mories, living as a daughter of good people from the start...
Hmm.
“...I love you...”
Perhaps, if she had no past mories, Ha-eun would have beco a cheerful girl like Diah. Soone who liked to joke with close friends and always walked around with a smile, a bright girl.
When she broadcasted as Diah, the only ti she could truly forget the past life’s mories was during these monts. Maybe that’s why she spoke and acted like a child.
?OhWowwwThank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank youHehePineapple is a major winCan I refill, please“Want to do it again? Why would I—☆”
Diah was just a regular girl, expressing emotions without any calculations. She simply spoke and acted honestly, like any normal girl.
It was the only ti she could truly be "Lee Ha-eun." For now, at least.
Ha-eun cherished these monts of broadcasting as Diah, perhaps because of this reason.
“Alright, alright. The release is coming up soon, so just wait a little longer~.”
WhatIsn’t it already finished?Show what you’ve seen“The final version? I haven’t seen it either. I think only the CEO has seen the final version.”
Ha-eun continued chatting with Noeulis, exchanging various bits of banter. As her eyelids began to droop, she knew it was ti to end the stream.
“Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I’m happy you all ca to watch the stream. See you next ti~~~.”
Click-click.
“Before I go, I’ve got so business to take care of.”
Ding.

Crazy person, crazy person, crazy person...Finally goneWhy are they being so stubborn about pineappleLook at their persistence, lolBut I respect their boldness, yeahAnd so, the surprise broadcast ended with the execution of the pineapple enthusiast, who stuck to their belief until the end. Afterward, Ha-eun collapsed onto her bed outside the soundproof booth.
Usually, she would fall asleep right away, but today, the lingering feeling from the Bright Day teaser wouldn’t leave her.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Pat-pat!
Sensing Ha-eun’s presence, Baek-seol climbed the dog steps and rushed to her, lying down beside her.
“Ah, Seol-ah. Did you wait for ?”
Lick, lick.
Lick, lick.
“Hmm, alright, alright.”
Ha-eun couldn’t fall asleep right away. Instead, she started telling Baek-seol about everything that had happened today.
She whispered into Baek-seol’s fluffy ears, telling her about the Star Athletics Competition, eting Song Hyun-min again, the great results in the events, and how she bragged about Bright Day’s teaser on the stream.
Of course, Baek-seol didn’t respond. As usual, she just blinked her eyes while nestled in Ha-eun’s arms.
But it was okay. Just being in Ha-eun’s arms was enough.
“Hmm, where did our Seol learn to be so calm...?”
As Ha-eun continued to stroke Baek-seol’s fluffy head, she eventually closed her eyes. Hours later, when she woke up, all the fatigue from the day had disappeared.

“Oh, so these days, music videos are made like animations? Back in my day, it was almost always fild.”
“B-but VTubers can’t film, so... music videos have to be done like this.”
It was around the ti when the heat of sumr was starting to subside that Ha-eun found herself in Leni’s studio, the only outsider who had discovered Diah’s red dicine.
The conversation they were having until just a mont ago was about Diah’s teaser for Bright Day, which had been released a few days earlier. Leni found Ha-eun to be quite an interesting person, and as a result, she often asked her all sorts of questions.
For example, when Ha-eun had started practicing Diah’s youthful voice. How she was able to sing with two completely different voices: Pinocchio, the singer, and Diah, the VTuber.
“What’s really impressive is that there are no pitch errors. Doesn’t changing your voice usually strain your throat?”
“Maybe it’s because I practiced a lot with the older guys? I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning too.”
As soone who had lived her entire life as a singer, Leni had many «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» questions about vocal techniques. Even though Ha-eun’s natural voice was what it was, the fact that Diah’s youthful voice was now being released as a single was sothing new and surprising to Leni.
Ha-eun answered Leni’s questions earnestly. Though she wasn’t quite used to talking about Diah yet, it was easier because they were speaking as fellow singers.
‘Maybe it’s because she’s a fellow female singer?’
This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.
Since they were only talking about songs and not Diah’s streams, Ha-eun felt a little less pressure. If Leni had started talking about Diah’s sponsorship reactions like Da-yeon did a few months ago, Ha-eun would probably have had a hard ti looking her in the eye.
However, the reason Ha-eun had co to Leni’s studio today was strictly for the Snow Flower music video shoot. After the shooting crew arrived, Ha-eun couldn’t even bring up Diah’s na.
Soon, caras began to set up all around the recording studio. Ha-eun, who would have to sing Snow Flower alone in front of these caras, found herself deep in thought.
‘Did they say I should just sing it the way I always have from start to finish?’
The music video for Snow Flower would include two types of scenes: one of Ha-eun singing in the recording studio, and the other mixing scenes from Goblin appropriately.
This was all information Ha-eun already knew, thanks to her past life’s mories. However, unlike before, this ti, Ha-eun was the one singing Snow Flower, and for so reason, the filming location was the sa as her previous one: Leni’s studio.
‘Maybe it’s because I don’t have my own studio?’
She wasn’t sure if it was just a coincidence or if there was another reason, so she casually asked Leni about the choice of location.
“Oh, it’s just that an older sister I know asked to borrow it for just one day. Why?”
That was the simple answer she got. Ha-eun felt a little embarrassed for even wondering about it.
‘I was just asking because I wasn’t sure. Maybe I’m overthinking it...’
So, after the small mystery was resolved with a simple coincidence, Ha-eun walked into the fully set-up recording studio.
The lody of Snow Flower began to play through the headphones.
“♪───♬♪──”
To be honest, she was a little nervous since the song had received hundreds of millions of views in her past life. Leni, the creator of that view count, was watching from the other side.
However, this ti, Ha-eun wasn’t just covering the song as a singer. She was performing Snow Flower as herself, Lee Ha-eun, the actress playing Baeksulhwa in Goblin.
“Don’t leave alone─♪ Now I finally understand the aning of the gaze I’ve always sent─♪”
For a mont, she beca Baeksulhwa, her voice soft and nostalgic. She added a little bit of expression and started creating her own Snow Flower music video.
After recording Snow Flower without any mistakes, the director, reviewing the footage, asked her to do it two more tis.
“Ha, Ha-eun, you didn’t make any mistakes, but I think it’d be good to have a comparison to pick the best result. Please?”
“Ah, okay...”
After recording Snow Flower fully a few more tis, the music video shoot finally ended. The filming crew dismantled the caras one by one, bidding her farewell with a wish for a good Chuseok holiday.
‘Co to think of it, Chuseok is only a few days away.’
Like most people, Ha-eun also took ti off during holidays like Chuseok and Seollal. Though so daily dramas shoot even during holidays, for Ha-eun, holidays were truly holidays.
Of course, she didn’t plan to rest the entire ti. On Chuseok day, she would definitely rest, but at the tail end of the holiday, it would be a peak ti for broadcasting.
‘Maybe I should do a stream about making songpyeon.’
She wasn’t sure what would happen during this Chuseok holiday, but she definitely didn’t know that it would all lead back to her ti at Star Athletics Competition.
Isn’t that Nael shouting in the audience? [219]Nael
