Chapter 110: and Cat’s Confession Session

“Now, let’s move on to the second question,” Moonlight said with a grin. “I’ll let my partner, , read this one.”

He held up the card for her, and Cat-chan leaned in slightly to get a better look at the tiny text. Her head brushed against Moonlight’s as she softly read aloud:

“‘Does Moonlight and Cat have a management team? And what about —mentioned in every video—is that your signed company?’”

Cat-chan paused briefly, then shook her head.

“Nope, not at all,” she replied matter-of-factly. “Moonlight and Cat are just two high school students who came together for our love of music. We shoot and edit everything ourselves—no team, no managers.”

As soon as she finished, Moonlight stood up from the couch and gave a slight bow—a polite gesture of gratitude.

“Let me take this opportunity to thank a senior from SYC—not mentioning names here—for lending us recording equipment during our early days. Of course, in return, we’ve promoted SYC in the descriptions of each video.” He chuckled lightly. “Though honestly, I doubt it did them much good.”

This touch of humor instantly bridged the gap between him and his audience.

“Wow, Moonlight really knows how to show appreciation,” someone commented. “No wonder he’s so talented.”

“Getting free sponsorship from SYC before they were even famous? That’s next-level networking right there.”

“So wait…two high schoolers casually making videos out of passion created all these masterpieces?” another fan exclaimed. “Are you telling me this is real life or some shonen manga plotline?”

“For real though, can someone confirm this? The last teenage prodigy musician I heard about was centuries ago.”

Even by the second question, the sheer amount of information being revealed left viewers reeling. What made Moonlight and Cat’s answers so believable? Simple—they weren’t afraid to name-drop SYC, a well-known music agency. Verification would be easy; anyone could call SYC to check their story.

If Moonlight and Cat were under contract with such a prestigious company, why hide it? And if they weren’t, why would SYC lend expensive gear to random kids? It didn’t make sense otherwise.

“Speaking of which,” Moonlight interjected thoughtfully, “let me address another big question.”

He paused, gathering his thoughts.

“Why haven’t we signed with a label yet? Why don’t we release albums instead of sticking to ?”

Immediately, ears perked up across the chatroom. This was the burning question everyone had been dying to ask.

It was undeniable that most of Moonlight and Cat’s 1.86 million followers listened purely for entertainment value without giving deeper meaning much thought. But among those fans were many who deeply admired their work and couldn’t understand why they hadn’t pursued mainstream success.

With such talent, why weren’t they releasing albums, aiming for global recognition, striving toward becoming world-class musicians? Why settle for being mere TikTok creators?

“‘Internet celebrity’ is an insult that trolls will throw around forever,” one commenter grumbled. “History books aren’t going to remember you as a composer because you posted viral videos online.”

---

But Moonlight wasn’t fazed. He spoke directly into the camera, his tone sincere.

“To start, I don’t think posting music on platforms like TikTok diminishes its value. A great piece of art should be accessible to everyone. Some people belittle ‘internet fame,’ claiming TikTok users are uneducated and undeserving of quality content. I find that mindset terrifying.”

He continued, “For those without musical knowledge, my compositions provide emotional resonance. For others with refined tastes, there’s depth to explore. Both responses validate my work, and honestly, I love that.”

The chat exploded.

“I’m crying. Moonlight actually speaks for us regular folks…”

“This guy’s got vision. Forget those shallow pop stars writing garbage lyrics while acting superior.”

“Damn, this is what a true artist looks like. THIS is who we should idolize.”

“Yes! When first dropped, I didn’t understand it—but I loved it anyway. Isn’t that enough? Why does liking something simple mean I’m less worthy? I’ll learn more later!”

In truth, the majority of TikTok users wouldn’t fully grasp complex works like Greeting of Love or the . Even those leaving long-winded analyses in the comments were merely interpreting based on their own limited understanding. No one interpretation was definitive.

Yet, there’d always be elitists eager to flaunt their supposed superiority. Many pushing for Moonlight and Cat to debut professionally harbored similar attitudes.

“My idol is just a TikTok star?! How embarrassing…”

“Hurry up and release an album already! Package yourselves as proper artists!”

But Moonlight rejected that notion outright. Through his words, he told fans: TikTok isn’t inferior, nor are its users. Whether you connect emotionally or intellectually, it doesn’t matter—as long as my music enriches your experience, that’s all that counts.

“Feelings are valid. There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy art.”

Still, he acknowledged deeper appreciation. “If you catch the nuances, yeah, I’ll recognize you as someone with musical insight. But ultimately, I care about every single listener equally.”

Compared to other influencers desperately curating elite personas, Moonlight’s egalitarian approach felt refreshingly genuine. Fans—and even casual viewers—couldn’t help but admire his character.

Within minutes of the video dropping, Moonlight and Cat gained 140,000 new followers, crossing the 2-million mark.

However, Moonlight didn’t close the door entirely on signing with a label.

“Right now, Cat-chan and I are still high school students juggling academics. We can’t focus too heavily on this yet. Plus, Cat-chan has her own goals…” He hesitated slightly. “So, don’t rush us about releasing an album just yet.”

A collective gasp rippled through the comment section.

“But,” he added with a knowing smile, “that doesn’t mean I haven’t considered it.”

Fans immediately caught the hint. Wait—he’s saying they WILL release an album?!

Without keeping them waiting long, Moonlight leaned closer to the camera.

“It won’t be long before Cat-chan and I seriously plan this step.”

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” the chat screamed in unison.

“Is this real?! Are Moonlight and Cat finally releasing an album?!”

“Holy crap, pinch me—I must be dreaming!”

“Hurry up already! I’ll buy every copy of the physical edition!”

But Moonlight wasn’t done teasing.

“When the album drops, I’ll include the remaining three movements of the Pathétique Symphony. Plus, and will get remastered versions featuring full orchestral arrangements.”

“You guys can look forward to it.”

---

“Damn…”

“WHAT?! Three MORE movements of the Pathétique Symphony?! You’ve been holding out on us, Moonlight!”

“Stop hyping us up, please! Just release it already—I’ll empty my bank account to support you!”

---

As thrilling as the announcement was, fans couldn’t shake the feeling they were being strung along. All Moonlight said was “not long” and “we’ll plan it.” No specifics. Was this just a giant tease?

And yet, somehow, it worked. The promise of triple the content, triple the excitement—it was irresistible. Like watching a blockbuster movie only to discover there’s an extended cut waiting in the wings.

That was Moonlight’s genius: dangling hope just out of reach, knowing fans would lap it up.

---

Amidst the chaos, Cat-chan suddenly tilted her head, confused.

“Album? What’s this about?” she whispered, turning to Moonlight.

He quickly lowered his voice, leaning in close to her ear. “Remember what we talked about recently? Didn’t someone suggest finding a manager?”

“Oh…” Cat-chan fidgeted nervously. “I’m not ready for that…”

“It’s fine, leave it to me,” Moonlight reassured her, patting her head off-camera.

Her timid nod melted hearts across the internet.

“Aww, Cat-chan’s so cute…”

“Wait—did YOU tell her to wear that sailor outfit?!”

---

After addressing serious topics like their background and future plans, the next question took a turn.

“The final question,” Moonlight announced gravely, “is one many of you have asked repeatedly: Are Cat-chan and I dating?”

His answer cut through the tension like a knife.

“Absolutely not.”

“Liar!!!”

“Stop denying it!”

“Bullsht! Don’t give us that ‘pure friendship’ nonsense!”

“Everyone! You’ve all misunderstood it—Moonlight’s talking about a master-servant dynamic!”

Clearly, no one believed him. The chat erupted into chaos.

“I knew this would happen,” Moonlight sighed preemptively. “But let me say it again: Cat-chan and I are just friends. She’s my invaluable partner.”

“Yes,” Cat-chan chimed in earnestly. “We’re definitely not dating! Even though I often record at Moonlight’s place, his family isn’t usually home—it’s not like I’m meeting the parents or anything.”

“Idiot! Don’t tell them that!” Moonlight hissed under his breath.

Realizing her mistake, Cat-chan shrank back sheepishly.

---

“Not dating, huh? So you two spend hours alone in his house filming videos?”

“Wait…you mean ALL the videos were filmed at Moonlight’s house?!”

“And his family’s never home??”

“Ugh, I bet Cat-chan’s spent nights over there after getting drunk. Moonlight, I hate you.”

At this point, even Cat-chan seemed aware things had spiraled. Standing up, she declared firmly:

“We’re still students. Students shouldn’t date.”
