章 45: I’m XxNeXus husband (extra chapter ^^)

The chat buzzed again:

"XxNeXus protecting a noob? That's a first!"

"Are you training him to be the next big player?"

"Does Snow have potential, or is he just dead weight?"

"These people are ruthless," Yeongsoo muttered, amused but slightly annoyed.

"They like stirring the pot. Ignore them," Haeun reassured, his focus returning to the mission. "Let's just finish this and show them we're serious."

The game progressed smoothly, but the chat never stopped:

"I'll bet on XxNeXus and Snow winning the mission."

"Why even bother betting? XxNeXus never loses!"

"If Snow drags him down, though… might be a first time for everything."

Haeun glanced at the chat, a small smirk tugging at his lips. He was used to the pressure, but seeing how it got under Yeongsoo's skin amused him a little. "Think of it as your initiation," Haeun said, half-joking. "You're officially in the game now."
