âThis is all you need to prepare ahead of time!â
âAlright, got it.â
Si-Yoon pulled up some files on my laptop before heading back to her room. I watched her retreating figure for a moment before turning my attention to the laptop screen.
The materials were nothing complicated.
A simple, introductory profile to share with viewers and a basic draft of conversation topics to discuss during the stream.
The profile, labeled Momoâs Unnie, was mostly blank aside from the placeholder name. I filled it in carefully, adding the necessary details. Since it wasnât much, the task didnât take long to finish.
âLetâs seeâ¦â
I navigated through the laptop, searching T-Tube for videos that fit what I had in mind. I didnât usually watch VTuber content aside from MomoBin, but I occasionally saw recommended videos pop up. If memory served, there were a few where regular people appeared on-stream.
Sure enoughâ
âAh, found it.â
I stumbled upon several related videos. Surely, in at least one of them, the host would be playfully teasing their guest, right?
Time to observe how my predecessors and seniors handled this kind of situation.
Learn it. Adapt it. Use it.
âHeheâ¦â
I watched the videos with keen interest. Some clips were short, while others featured recurring guests.
âOh, this could definitely come in handy.â
These people knew what they were doing. So thatâs how itâs done.
â¦This might actually turn out to be more fun than I expected.

While Si-Hyun Was Busy Watching Videos
Meanwhile, Si-Yoon, who had retreated to her room, immediately powered on her computer.
She diligently began fine-tuning the stream settings, moving swiftly and methodically. Every detail was considered to ensure the audience would enjoy the show to the fullest. Of course, she was just as eager to enjoy herself.
â¦I got permission for the fan art.
Si-Yoon recalled how much her viewers had been anticipating this collaboration. Just a few days ago, a fan had even sent her a piece of art titled âMomoâs Unnie: Imagined Version.â Si-Yoon had secured permission to use it during the stream, placing it beside MomoBinâs avatar.
It was ready to go.
â¦Even if it looks nothing like her.
She chuckled softly. The fan art portrayed her sister as a slightly more mature, Eastern-inspired beauty compared to MomoBinâs playful appearance.
In reality, though, her sister had a distinctly exotic charm. Her features leaned more toward being cute than mature.
Well, how could anyone guess accurately?
Anyone who managed to predict her sisterâs appearance must be some kind of divine being.
Sipping from her coffee cup, Si-Yoon smiled and continued her work.
Word Spreads
As time passed, news began spreading across the online community:
MomoBinâs family collab is happening!
Her sister is joining. Do you think her voice is as cute as Momoâs?
If her sisterâs voice is anything like Momoâs, I might pass out.
Finally, LOL. Iâve been waiting for this forever.
The idea of a family member joining a VTuberâs stream was a major draw, and fans eagerly awaited the start of MomoBinâs live broadcast.
The Stream Begins
When the long-awaited live stream finally started:
Ooooh!
Itâs here!
I thought Iâd die waiting!
Collab! Collab! Collab!
Even though Momoâs sister hadnât appeared yet, the chat was already buzzing with excitement. Messages demanding her appearance flooded the screen.
Smiling, Si-Yoon, through Momoâs avatar, mirrored her amusement perfectly.
âHello, everyone!â
Momo greeted her audience with her usual confidence, effortlessly exchanging pleasantries with the viewers. After wrapping up the opening, she quickly scanned the chat.
Soon, in a playful tone, she said, âHmm, youâre all so excited, and she hasnât even shown up yet!â
Bring out the sister!
Faster, faster, faster!
Holding my breath until she arrives!
The mere prospect of a family appearance had generated this much hype. Once they heard her sisterâs voice, Si-Yoon figured the viewers might actually faint from excitement.
Reading the enthusiastic chat, she smirked. âBefore you all pass out, I better bring her here. Hold on a second!â
Finally!
Letâs go!
Bring her in!
Si-Yoon muted her mic and peeked out of her room. In the living room, Si-Hyun was watching the stream on the TV, her expression betraying a mix of curiosity and nerves.
âUnnie, letâs go!â
âUh, um⦠okay.â
Si-Hyun mumbled awkwardly as she stood. The sheer energy of the chat was already overwhelming, making her hesitant.
âUh⦠is it too late to back out?â she asked nervously.
âOf course it is! If you bail now, Iâll seriously pout!â
âYouâre just bluffingâ¦â
Si-Hyun reluctantly shuffled toward her sisterâs room. Though sheâd glimpsed it before, this was her first time actually entering the space.
Inside Momoâs Room
One wall was lined with soundproofing panels, while the desk was cluttered with monitors and various streaming equipment, all neatly arranged.
Scattered around the room were MomoBin merch and cute decorations, emphasizing the feminine and personal touch of the space.
The air carried the faint, sweet scent of the fruity shampoo Si-Yoon always used, filling the room with a cozy atmosphere.
âSo, this is what Momoâs room looks likeâ¦â Si-Hyun murmured.
âOh, come to think of it, this is your first time in here. Unnie, sit here!â
Si-Yoon patted the cushion on the chair beside her, prompting Si-Hyun to hesitantly take a seat. The cushion was shaped like a peach, with a soft, adorable design. Running her hand over it, Si-Hyun noted its pleasant texture.
While she was distracted by the cushion, Si-Yoon displayed the fan art next to Momoâs avatar on the stream screen.
âAll right, everyone, I brought her!â@@novelbin@@
Sheâs here!
Sister!
Woooooo!
Hello there!
âUnnie, say hi. Go on.â
âOh, uh⦠Hi, everyone. Iâm Momoâs⦠sister.â
Si-Hyun scratched her cheek, her voice awkward. It was the first time sheâd ever referred to herself as someoneâs âsisterâ out loud, and it felt strangeâbut not impossible. Humans were adaptable creatures, after all.
Welcome!
Her voice, wow.
Her voice is insane!
She sounds different from Momo but just as beautiful!
Why is her voice so elegant?
The chat flooded with compliments about her voice, and Si-Hyun, glancing at the scrolling messages, let out a small smile.
Even if it was just casual praise, the instant feedback was definitely a perk of online streaming.
âThank you for the kind words, everyone,â she said with a light chuckle.
OMG her voice is melting me.
Iâm totally in love with her voice.
Please laugh again! Just once more!
Her voice is unreal.
The chat grew increasingly excited. Si-Yoon, who had been watching silently, suddenly snapped out of her daze and muttered to herself, âWait⦠isnât Unnie the one running the show now?â
LOL for real!
Momo, step up your game!
What is this hidden broadcast talent?
The Q&A
Clearing her throat, Si-Yoon regained control. âOkay, introductions are done! Letâs move on to the Q&A. If you have questions about the collab or anything else, let us know!â
The moment had finally arrived, and viewers eagerly participated. Si-Yoon carefully selected questions to display on the stream.
âFirst question: âDoes Momoâs sister know any of Momoâs weaknesses?â Unnie, do you?â
âWeaknesses? Hmmâ¦â
VTuber MomoBin
If someone were to ask about MomoBinâs defining traits or weaknessesâ¦
Si-Hyunâs gaze unconsciously drifted toward her sisterâs chest.
