Chapter 412
"Huh? Sis, you don’t look so good. Are you feeling sick?"
"..."
What was I even supposed to say to that?
To be honest, I had intended to keep this hidden—no, not hidden exactly. I just wasn’t planning to bring it up. That’s different, right?
Yeah. I never hid it. Not saying something isn’t the same as hiding it. Isn’t that fair?
It’s not like that minor gallery was some massively famous place. Even if I had some reputation under a consistent nickname, it wasn’t anything big enough for the whole internet to know. Even streamers who are hugely popular still get overlooked by people who don’t follow that scene.
Besides, it’s not like I created anything. All I did was buy the original Japanese sources, translate some bits, post magazine interviews, or compile dialogue scripts before the Korean versions came out... That was it. That’s what I was known for—if anyone even remembered my name.
—Well, sure. Clearly someone did. Like the person in that post Claire showed me.
"I’m just feeling a little chilly... Might be coming down with something."
But now the story had shifted a bit.
That’s right.
Just because I hadn’t planned to hide it doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to now. I’m not even sure what I’m saying anymore—just that my stance changed. Situations change, and so should assumptions, right? I hadn’t planned to hide anything, but I wasn’t about to volunteer the information either. So if someone dragged out my embarrassing past, then yeah, I was going to try and hide it.
