The excitement in the chat reached a fever pitch. Screenshots of their epic victory and playful banter were quickly captured and shared across various platforms, most notably in the K-Gamers Unite Naver cafe, which was known for its active discussions and news about gaming trends.

Within moments, the images of ’XxNeXus and Snow’ spread like wildfire, igniting a storm of comments and reactions. Haeun had no idea that their little gaming session would become the talk of the town, especially in one of the largest gaming communities in Country K and a top ten global gaming forum.

User2: No way! I was just watching them! They totally owned that mission!

Meanwhile, in the XxNeXus Community, another wave of comments began flooding in as the screenshots made their way there. This community was notorious for its passionate discussions about gameplay, strategy, and the latest gaming gossip.

As the comments continued to pour in, Haeun and Yeongsoo remained blissfully unaware of the growing excitement outside the game.

"Did you see that last wave? They almost got us!" Yeongsoo laughed, exhilarated from the intense gameplay.

"Yeah, but we nailed it!" Haeun replied, his heart racing from both the game and the unexpected chemistry developing between them. "You’ve got some serious skills for a self-proclaimed noob."

"I really am a noob, but I’m a quick learner. I find games not worth my time but playing together with you, it’s a whole different feeling.."

Haeun blushed as he turned his face, they were just playing a game why did he have to make it all lovey dovey.

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and excitement, Haeun quickly typed in his goodbye message, wanting to keep the moment light and playful. "Won’t be seeing me here in a while, but I’ll be in other games, mostly the new releases, so be sure to find me there. Goodbye..."

As he hit send, the excitement in the chat reached a fever pitch. The users began to react to his departure message, and the atmosphere was electric.

Chatbox:

UserA: Wait, what?! XxNeXus is leaving? Don’t go! We need more duo action!

UserB: You better keep us updated on your next game! I’ll hunt you down! 😂

UserC: Who will save us from zombies now?!

UserD: You can’t just drop this bomb and leave us hanging!

UserE: We’ll miss you! Come back soon with Snow!

UserF: Is this how we lose our favorite player? This is not okay!

Haeun finally logged out of the game, a warm glow of satisfaction filling him as he turned off the computer. "I think I need to get some consoles," he said, stretching his arms above his head as he stood up.

Yeongsoo raised an eyebrow. "consoles? You need more than 1?"

Haeun raised an eyebrow as he gave Yeongsoo a look. "Of course I do, I like to rotate between uses."

"Ha..alright I’ll get you some new ones tomorrow.."

They left the study and headed toward the bedroom, the atmosphere still buzzing with the afterglow of their gaming session. As they entered, Haeun felt a playful energy in the air. Yeongsoo closed the door behind them, and suddenly the tension shifted, the playful banter transforming into something more intimate.

"Relaxing sounds good," Yeongsoo said, his voice low as he stepped closer, the teasing glint in his eyes sending a thrill through Haeun. "But what if I have other plans?"

Haeun’s heart raced as Yeongsoo reached out, brushing his fingers along Haeun’s arm. The simple touch sent shivers down his spine. "What do you mean?" Haeun asked, feigning innocence even as he leaned into Yeongsoo’s touch.

"Just that I’ve been thinking about you all day," Yeongsoo murmured, his gaze steady and intense. "You know, how good you looked in that game. I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to be this close."

Before Haeun could respond, Yeongsoo closed the distance between them, capturing Haeun’s lips in a gentle but insistent kiss. Haeun melted into the kiss, his worries of the outside world fading away.

Yeongsoo’s hands slid to Haeun’s waist, pulling him closer. Haeun gasped into the kiss, feeling the heat radiate between them. Yeongsoo deepened the kiss, and Haeun responded eagerly, his fingers tangling in Yeongsoo’s hair.

As they broke apart, both panting softly, Yeongsoo smirked. "I knew you’d be responsive. You always are."
