“Let’s listen to this once,” my voice flows out.
After the terrorism on the ship was averted, these are the words I found myself saying to her, puzzled.
“It was all because of you.”
“After hearing your speech, everyone suddenly united.”
“Yes, that’s right. It seems I have underestimated you. You achieved what seemed impossible for anyone else. For you, enlightening the masses with just a word doesn’t even seem hard.”
Ah, did I really say that?
Before my confusion even subsides, another instance of my voice spills out.
This time, it’s from the recent train terrorism incident.
“Yes, Mr. Stardust, you did well. In a way, I couldn’t even imagine. To save everyone like that, I really didn’t expect it. Victory is yours.”
The reporter, who had been quietly listening to the playback of his voice, suddenly shot up from his seat.
Ignoring the surprised anchor’s gaze, he started shouting out loud,
“Look at this!!! If this is not love, then what on earth is it!!! When Mangostick spoke those last words and closed Stardust’s eyes, Stardust finally fell into a peaceful sleep!!! If this isn’t them dating, then what on earth is!!!”
He began to scream while pulling at his hair!
That madman! Can this really be a public broadcast that I am witnessing?!
“What in the world is this!!!”
I shouted, hurling the remote towards the TV.
Meanwhile, Seo Eun, who had been watching next to me, was laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
The broadcast, ending with a shot of a deeply flustered anchor looking at the reporter, suddenly switched to commercials.
Seeing the subtitle “Broadcast Under Inspection” appear, it seemed there had been a broadcast accident.
Seriously, who on Earth calls me Mangostick on a live broadcast.
All I could do was bow my head in defeat.
The more I think about it, this South Korea is insane.
It was later revealed that the reporter was a member of my fervent fan club, nicknamed the “Mango Squad.”
Despite causing a sudden scene and facing potential demotion, the broadcast that day hit record-breaking viewership numbers. As a result, instead of being disciplined, he even received a bonus.
Truly, these are the end times…
