The energy in the esports arena was electric. Thousands of fans packed the stadium, their cheers echoing as the final match of the international PUBG tournament concluded. Millions more were watching online, their screens displaying the name of the champion: PARK SUNGHOON—VICTOR. The commentators shouted in excitement, hyping up the moment. "AND THERE IT IS! PARK SUNGHOON DOES IT AGAIN! THE KOREAN PRODIGY REMAINS UNDEFEATED!" The crowd erupted in cheers as Sunghoon removed his headset, a confident smirk tugging at his lips. His dark hair was slightly tousled, his sharp eyes gleaming under the stage lights. He lifted his hand, acknowledging the fans, and the cameras flashed wildly. He was Korea's best. And the world knew it. After the match, the spotlight turned to the interview stage, where the event's MC awaited him. Sunghoon stepped forward, adjusting the mic attached to his hoodie, still radiating the effortless cool that made him one of the most loved figures in esports.
"Sunghoon-ssi, congratulations on your incredible victory! Your strategies were brilliant—flawless execution, as always. Tell us, how does it feel to dominate yet another global tournament?" Sunghoon let out a small chuckle, running a hand through his hair. "Feels great. The competition was tough, but I came prepared." The MC grinned. "Clearly! But let's step away from gaming for a moment—because the world doesn't just admire your skills; they admire you. Your fans are always curious about your personal life, so I have to ask... What's your biggest source of motivation?" Sunghoon's smirk softened. His confident posture relaxed as a different emotion took over—adoration. "My wife." The audience exploded. The live chat on the stream flooded with reactions:
"SUNGHOON IS MARRIED???" "We been knew, but WHY IS THIS SO CUTE???" "WHO IS SHE???"
Sunghoon chuckled at the response and, as if on cue, the camera panned to you. Sitting in the front row of the audience, you waved at the camera with a radiant smile, holding up a hand-made sign that read: "SUNGHOON OP!! ALWAYS NUMBER 1!! ❤️" Your presence alone sent another shockwave through the chat.
"SHE'S SO PRETTY WTF???" "THIS IS A REAL LOVE STORY." "COUPLE GOALS. I CAN'T."
Sunghoon's gaze softened as he looked at you through the screen. The world saw him as a gaming legend, but to you? He was simply Sunghoon. The same boy who used to challenge you over test scores, the same rival who once swore he'd beat you in everything—only to realize he never wanted to win against you, but with you. "We've known each other since high school," Sunghoon continued. "Back then, we were rivals. Always competing, always trying to one-up each other. But after spending so much time together, we realized something." The MC leaned in. "And what was that?" Sunghoon's lips curled into a small smile. "That we had been in love all along." The audience melted.
"THIS IS STRAIGHT OUT OF A MOVIE." "I CAN'T BELIEVE A PRO GAMER IS THIS ROMANTIC???" "THEY WERE RIVALS TO LOVERS, I'M CRYING."
"She supported me from the very beginning," Sunghoon continued, his voice filled with pure devotion. "When I had nothing—no fame, no sponsors, no career—she was there, cheering me on. She believed in me before anyone else did. Everything I've achieved... I owe it to her." The camera captured the way you looked at him, eyes filled with pride and love. The perfect power couple. But somewhere in the digital world, among the millions watching the stream... One man didn't celebrate. One man didn't type excited comments or cheer for Sunghoon's victory. Instead, his gaze was locked onto the screen—onto you. The moment he saw you—your smile, your warmth, your presence beside Sunghoon—something inside him snapped. He had to have you.
