Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

⚠️ Live Stream Warning ⚠️Please be careful about leaking sensitive information during live streams.

Contrary to the burning enthusiasm of fans dying to learn more about Jeon Jeonseol, there had been radio silence since Victory's reveal stream—no new crumbs, no teases, nothing.

As malicious rumors spread that she'd bolted because Victory's shoutout freaked her out, gaining more traction by the day...

Jeon Jeonseol made her sudden return.

As a cameo guest on Victory's stream.

Laughter.

Those whispers drew nothing but laughs.

So Woo-seung laughed too.

The viewers couldn't process those whispers at first.

A Teamfight Arena player who didn't know Victory was a pro?

Victory, the guy even casuals and total normies—who'd never heard of Teamfight Arena—knew about?

It was an absurd joke.

But Woo-seung's follow-up left everyone baffled.

"I'm in the middle of a fun little game right now. Seeing how long I can go without anyone clocking me as a pro. Mind giving me a hand, guys?"

He insisted it wasn't a joke.

Idol stans and pro gamer fans had their similarities, huh?

Even in the little things like this.

Getting hyped over guy-on-guy friendships deeper than average...

Some pro teams even edited their YouTube vids to subtly ship their players like that.

Who even knew if the guys themselves were cool with it.

Anyway, not everyone bought the story, of course.

Too hard to believe, right?

Playing Teamfight Arena without knowing Woo-seung was a pro?

Fishy as hell.

💬 Stream Chat— Skeptic— Skeptic

Woo-seung spotted the skeptical chats aimed at Jeon Jeonseol.

Accusing her of using him for fame.

But that was an insult to Woo-seung himself.

Treating him like some naive kid clueless about the world.

Victory. Jeon Woo-seung.

The guy rumored to rake in over 10 billion won a year.

Superstar with the top popularity among all pro gamers worldwide.

Naturally, flies swarmed him.

Especially since he was young—hell, a kid, really.

Friends, relatives, old teachers, neighbors—anyone with even a flimsy connection came crawling to lick the gold dust off him.

And on the flip side, plenty spewed pure malice.

Jealousy, hatred for the successful—they all took shots.

Countless tried to drag him down.

But Woo-seung was scandal-free in a way that stunned everyone.

Unlike other pros who kept screwing up left and right.

No school bullying scandals, no girl drama, no power-trip bullshit—nothing that could end a career.

Not even typical gamer crap like proxy accounts or bug exploits.

Not a single toxic rant, BM play, or petty issue.

Success at a young age forced Woo-seung to grow up faster than most.

Some called him a game-obsessed idiot, but they were dead wrong.

You don't reach that level of success just on game skill and stay controversy-free otherwise.

Everyone acknowledged it.

Not only the best at games, but world-class at handling life too.

And he was convinced.

Legend wasn't that kind of person.

No lowly mosquito buzzing in to suck blood and hide its true intentions.

💬 Stream Chat⭐ Top Comment— Defender— Defender

Chats echoing Woo-seung's exact thoughts flooded in.

He was satisfied.

Some people got it.

Successful streamer? A dream for most.

But for the rival acknowledged by Victory? Patheticly small-time.

...She seemed thoughtless sometimes.

Woo-seung liked that.

Someone treating him not as superstar pro Jeon Woo-seung, but just game buddy Victory? Nice.

💬 Stream Chat— Viewer— Viewer— Viewer— Hater— Viewer— Viewer— Viewer

Viewers delighted by Woo-seung's unexpected human side.

'Kinda harsh, though.'

Woo-seung usually ignored whispers mid-stream, replying only after it ended.

The delay meant Legend often logged off before he got back.

They stayed logged like letters, but it must've felt neglectful.

So this time, he replied mid-stream.

Woo-seung had no idea then.

That this would spark the incident...

Woo-seung cleared the chat window.

But he knew.

VOD replays existed—anyone could check that link if they wanted.

Jeon Jeonseol's YouTube link had leaked.

"Everyone, pretend you didn't see that."

Begging, but Woo-seung knew.

Not everyone would play along.

Some would deliberately hunt down that channel.

'Guess the "hide the pro" game's over.'

Woo-seung did what needed doing.

Explained the situation, warned his friend.

Good thing no sensitive stuff on the channel, apparently.

Maybe hiding the stream was too lax. Time for some self-reflection.

He'd played the adult role fine till now, but reuniting with an old friend got him giddy, regressing to kid mode.

'Still, maybe this lights a fire under Legend?'

"I'm coming to topple the #1."

He hadn't forgotten his friend's bold claim.

But what if she learned #1 wasn't just server-top, but world-class genius pro?

Not saying she had to, but...

He kept vividly picturing Legend clashing with him in pro matches.

Exciting. Real exciting.
