"Sorry, I'm late. I got caught up. I received your message. What's the sudden meeting all about?" Emily entered the room as she fixed her hair.
"We talk about Jc's role on the team." Pat said.
"Yeah? How is he? Have you guys decided?."
"Let Yang explain it to you first." Looking at Yang that never looked away from Emily since she sat. Pat tapped the table lightly.
Yang just smiled when he got off his thoughts and said.
"Here's the thing..."
#####
Victory!
"Woah, how did you do it? We've been on win-streak now!" Saying, that clap1x's eyes shine with admiration. Only the two of them left. Playing (1)'Duo' on (2)'Ranked Game'.
Jc smirked and said.
"Simple, when your mic is on. I can pretty much carry anyone who listens to me."
"Woah!" clap1x giving, thumbs up while shaking his head lightly.
"One more game?" Jc said, smiling, feeling good about clap1x's praised for him.
"Okay!" clap1x didn't reject as he was also having a good impression on Jc.

Emily, done arranging her stuff at her office, then she looked at her watch.
"It's getting late. I better head home."
Emily came out after she turned off the light in her room. Then she slowly went down the stairs to avoid waking up the players in their room because of her heels.
She heard a familiar sound as she was going down. They have rules that they can practice anytime they want, but it's rare for someone to stay up this late when it's still months away from the (3)'Spring Season Game'.
Emily checked who they were, and when she neared the practice area, she saw no one, but the sound was still there.
"These guys..."
Because the computer's table is designed as a circle, Emily couldn't see the other machines, so she turned around and looked for the open computer to turn it off.
When she found the computer, there seemed to be a person that fell asleep with their head on the table.
Emily was not surprised and thought it was clap1x or Drunk because the person was facing the other so she could only see the back of his hair, and they both would always fall asleep on their computers due to practice when 'Seasonal Games' were coming up.
"Hey, go sleep-" Emily was about to wake the person up when the man suddenly turned around and opened his eyes.
She was flabbergasted. She didn't know what to do, all she could think of is hide behind his chair, and that's what she did.
"*Why am i hiding? You crazy girl! He would see me as a crazy woman now...*"
Emily prepares to be catch red-handed while she closes her eyes. But nothing happened. She stood up slowly and peeked at the man who just kept sleeping.
She stared at him and thought.
"*He's not this fond of sleeping anywhere, but look at him now and also in my house*" She giggled softly. Not knowing that, she was already sitting on the gaming chair next to Jc as she also lay her head on the table facing each other.
"*How are you?... I-i'm sorry. I am here now, and I won't let anyone hurt you again... Not seeing you were hell I could not endure. Do you know where I got the strength from to push through? Your daughter.*" She would cry and giggle as she gazed at Jc.
"*Your daughter would always ask me where you are. Because you're the most subject of our bonding and story, so I came back selfishly here for your daughter to see you at least. But now, I'm scared... Knowing that I had ruined you... I'm sorry.*" Emily finally stood up, wiping her tears, then she searched for something in the nearby closet and came back with a small blanket.
After putting the banket on the back Jc, she left.

*Phone Rings!*
"Yeah? Ahh, my neck."
"Neck? Did you only wake up, big bro? Ah no, big bro, we need your help!"
"Who is this?" Jc checked the caller as he frowned because of the light.
"Fatty. You stood me up yesterday."
"No, big bro! the thing is, i was arrested yesterday by the police."
"Why?"
"I wasn't really involved but our three brothers is. I tried talking out to the police. But it didn't end well, so here we are!"
"Our brothers? You guys clicked faster than a pro player in games. Wait for me there."
