fantasy + freshness… enough reason to subscribe
People who followed the rumors from the community naturally pressed the subscribe button.
And the next day, the moment Eun-Sol woke up—
he had no choice but to doubt his own eyes.
The first video on the channel had already reached 60,000 views.
A number he had never seen in his life.
“…What is this?”
Eun-Sol sat upright on his bed like someone praying, staring down at his phone in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes over and over.
No matter how he thought about it, there had to be something wrong with his vision.
Thinking that, Eun-Sol squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again.
Then he checked the brightly lit phone screen once more.
The subscriber count had already reached 80,000.
“WAAAH!”
Letting out a scream, Eun-Sol threw his phone straight into the air while gripping it with both hands—then immediately covered his mouth.
He checked again and again.
The number didn’t change.
He had been asleep for 7 hours.
That meant only 7 hours had passed since uploading the video.
Not even a day—just 7 hours—and yet 30,000 subscribers had increased.
It felt bizarre.
Normally, this would bring joy and a sense of achievement—
but right now, he felt like he might faint from shock.
His face completely pale, Eun-Sol glanced at the phone that had fallen onto the pillow—
just as it started vibrating.
Startled, he gasped—and choked, coughing violently.
[Princess Bastard Baek-Ha]
The caller was Min Baek-Ha.
Still flushed, Eun-Sol reached out and answered, unable to stop coughing.
“…cough… h-hello?”
-Why does your voice sound like that? Are you sick?
Suppressing the tickling breath in his throat, Eun-Sol cleared his throat again.
“No, I just choked.”
-Drink water. Want me to bring you some?
“…?”
Baek-Ha spoke as if he were already at Eun-Sol’s house.
Unconsciously looking around, Eun-Sol let out a small laugh.
“How are you gonna bring it? Anyone would think you’re at my house.”
-Yeah, I’m in front. How long?
“…Huh?”
Eun-Sol’s eyes widened like a rabbit’s.
From the phone, along with Baek-Ha’s playful voice, a faint female voice could be heard.
-I told you to call ahead…
It was a gentle voice he had heard before.
Eun-Sol froze, his brain working fast.
It wasn’t a school friend—he’d never seen Baek-Ha with a girl like that. Not a tutor either. And the voice was too calm to be their age.
Then it clicked.
“…Auntie?”
-Yeah. Mom said she wanted to see you. Let’s eat together.
“I’d love to! Um… is it okay if I just throw on a cap and come out? No, wait! I should wash up first, right? It’d be rude not to when I’m seeing you after so long!”
Eun-Sol rambled as he jumped off the bed and rushed straight to the bathroom.
He thought he heard Baek-Ha laughing softly through the phone.
Wearing just a white T-shirt, he moved around busily.
Whenever he met Baek-Ha’s mother, he always tried to look neat—so he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Even though neither Baek-Ha nor his mom would care.
As Eun-Sol grabbed his toothbrush, Baek-Ha’s quiet voice tickled his ear through the phone.
-Your face is already polite enough.
“……?”
-Even if you don’t do anything, she’ll think you’re cute. Just come out.
Eun-Sol felt his face heat up.
At the same time, he frowned in confusion.
“What are you saying? I haven’t even eaten yet.”
-Exactly. Hurry up. Let’s go eat beef.
Eun-Sol hesitated for a moment, then smiled.
“Okay. I’ll be out soon.”
-Yeah. Mom, Sol will—
The call cut off mid-sentence.
With toothpaste on his brush, Eun-Sol looked at himself in the mirror and muttered quietly,
“I haven’t seen her in a while because she’s been busy… I’m really happy.”
With a small smile, he washed up quickly.
He picked out the cleanest, most comfortable clothes he could find and left the house with light steps.

“Sol-ah, you missed me since I haven’t come by lately, right?”
Baek-Ha’s mother asked as she placed beautifully marbled beef onto the grill.
Eun-Sol stared at her silently, then shook his head.
“No! You’ve been busy, Auntie.”
“Well, I’ve just been busy taking care of Baek-Ha’s father. Nothing else, really. I asked the housekeeper to help… but did you have enough food?”
Sizzle—
The meat made a delicious sound on the grill.
Baek-Ha’s father was the chairman of Baekseon Group, so unlike his mother, he lived in Seoul.
When Eun-Sol was eight, he couldn’t understand why families lived apart.
He only understood after entering middle school.
As Baek-Ha’s panic worsened, he couldn’t go outside anymore.
Seoul had too many people everywhere, which only made things worse.
His father thought Seoul was harmful to him, so he sent Baek-Ha and his mother here—
to a quieter place, closer to nature.
Thankfully, Baek-Ha improved compared to when he was in Seoul.
His father couldn’t live with them due to work but visited often, and every time, he would pat Eun-Sol’s head casually.
Eun-Sol looked between Baek-Ha and his mother placing meat onto his plate, then smiled brightly.
“Yes! There’s plenty. Even now, there’s so much.”
“Really? That’s a relief. Eat up. I ordered a lot on purpose. Baek-Ha and Sol together… about 12 servings should be enough, right?”
As Baek-Ha’s mother moved slightly undercooked meat aside, Baek-Ha naturally grabbed the tongs and cut it.
Then he piled the pieces neatly onto both his mother’s plate and Eun-Sol’s.
Eun-Sol watched for a moment, then picked up lettuce and skillfully made a wrap.
“Auntie, here.”
“Oh my, you should eat. You always make these for me.”
“Come on.”
Eun-Sol waved the neatly wrapped bite—round like his face—slightly.
Baek-Ha’s mother smiled like a young girl and carefully opened her mouth.
Watching her eat it in one bite, Eun-Sol smiled in satisfaction and immediately made another wrap, feeding it to Baek-Ha.
“Sol-ah, you should eat a lot too.”
“Yes.”
Baek-Ha’s mother’s lips curved softly.
Her eyes grew slightly moist as she reached out to Eun-Sol.
Her hand, rough with calluses, touched his soft cheek.
Even though it felt coarse, Eun-Sol still smiled brightly.
His clear eyes shone softly.
She looked at him quietly before speaking.
“I’m glad you look okay. The convenience store boss treats you well, right?”
“Yes.”
“Good. I’m always grateful to you, Sol.”
At her sudden words of thanks, Eun-Sol’s eyes widened.
She smiled gently, her eyes curving without a single wrinkle.
And every time Eun-Sol saw her like that—
he thought she looked exactly like Baek-Ha when he smiled.
