lingering thoughts.

His arrogance. You hated it.
You and Chan were rivals. Rivals since your little high school esports team.
You and Chan had been crowned the best esports players in your high school & university, you two won numerous competitions. What people saw as a power duo was actually secret rivals.
Chan always tried to push your buttons, in all the games your team would compete in. Overwatch, league of legends, even valorant. He always tried to one up you and be a better player.
Always going for a better kill to death ratio, better plays, hell even better commentary. He always tried to get under your skin.
As the days would go on, he craved to see you angry at all times. Always being cocky towards you, whispering words that would only egg you on.
But in public, you two had to act like the perfect best friends.
And Chan loved it, he would be the main person to initiate every interaction.
Every hug, dab up, handshakes, even private training sessions.
Just for him to always try and seem like the better player, but you two have been stagnant for years. Even in college.
Now let's take it back all the way to your freshmen year in high school.
