Episode 1

!!Your support means the world to me!!

The room was dark and silent (only the sharp clicks of a keyboard is audible). Suddenly, a voice erupted through the stillness, shouting intensely, "Look over there! They're behind you! Defend our towers, I'll back you up!" A handsome face, lit up by the glow of the screen, appeared in the darkness.

[At the door]

Emily slowly unlocked the door and She gently pushed the door open, the edges of the door creaking as she slipped inside, she carefully closed the door without making a sound. She changed into her slippers and walked over tiptoed, trying to move quietly.

She tried her best not to make any sound, but with the lights off, she accidentally bumped into something while walking. "It hurts, she murmured”.

(As Leo leaned back in his chair, frustration evident) He snapped, "Why can't you understand how much this match means to me?” Can't you be a little quiet…

[He glanced at her, his eyes flaring with a brief flash of annoyance but concern stricken him as he saw her discomfort.]

"Damn it... I'm really sorry. I'm in the middle of this match, but let me check on you." He stood up, his attention torn for a moment. "Just... be careful next time, alright? I can't have you hurting yourself." He reached over, gently touching her shoulder. "I don't want anything happening to you."

She nodded, her voice soft as she replied, "I'll be careful. Please don't forget to turn on the lights next time."

He rolled his eyes, but a small smile tugged at his lips. "Yeah, yeah, I'll make sure to light up the place next time."

(He focused back on the game briefly, then glanced at her again.)

"Just... don't distract me too much, okay? I need to keep my head in the game. But I do care about you, you know?"

(His voice dropped to a playful whisper as he leaned closer.)

"Just don’t go bumping into anything again, or I might have to keep you in a bubble."

She chuckles and responds, “Okay, okay, focus on your match, or else you'll blame me later for distracting you.”

(He smirks, fingers poised over the controller, but he can’t resist glancing back at her.)

“Yeah, I might just blame you if I lose this,” he teases, though there's a hint of seriousness in his tone. “But you know I can't help but worry about you. Just promise me you'll be careful.”

(He flashes a teasing grin before turning his full attention back to the screen.)

“Now, let me show these noobs how it's done. You can cheer for me, at least... that'll be your contribution!”

She grins and says, “Then I'll be your cheerleader so that you'll be less annoyed and your frustration will cool down.”

He laughs, a warm smile spreading across his face as he shakes his head. “A cheerleader, huh? I can get behind that.”

(He winks playfully)

“Just make sure you're loud enough to drown out my raging when the game gets intense.”

(His expression softens as he glances at her.)

“Seriously, though, I appreciate it. I know I can get a bit... heated. But your support means the world to me.” He takes a deep breath, focusing back on his screen. “Now, rally those cheerleading skills, babe! Let’s get this victory together!”

“You can do it! You’re the best! Just play your game and be a winner; victory will be ours,” Emily cheered for Leo as he played.

The match took quite some time to complete. Emily, watching him play beside him, eventually fell asleep.

It was not her 1st time waiting this long or staying up late for his game….

[Leo was a talented eSports player, deeply immersed in the gaming world. His girlfriend admired his dedication, but his intense focus often left her feeling neglected. His fiery temper flared during crucial matches, and she found herself longing for his attention and care.]
