Scene 1

Add friend now!



"It is really painful to be hurt by someone who is not an enemy, but a close person ..."



You can easily understand what the voice owner is saying by reading the subtitles on the screen. In the middle of the silence of the bedroom, even though it is not that wide, but not too narrow, but it is the world of ZoSoh, a normal boy who likes to play video games, that inspired him to learn English diligently in order to understand the stories and feelings of the characters without getting confused after each scene. Game over.



"I don't know how to describe this game, the plot is very good, the images are so beautiful as if they were real people, especially when there are close-ups of the captain's face and eyes, I think Hikami did very well."



* Bang bang *



That is not the sound of a gun, rather it is the sound of banging on the bedroom door, showing that the person on the other end is anxious not joking. He pressed to pause the game, walking to turn the knob, raising his eyebrows at the sight of his two best friends, who pushed him making him have to lean against the wall, James and Arm look very anxious, you can tell by the expressions in their faces and the hands that call to him.



"I have a great story to tell you, it's a hot topic, shut the door fast."

"What's going on? Why did they come that way?"

"Hey, it's a big thing," James said, their expressions like those of people who want to spit everything out.

"Do you remember the game we were playing last night?"

"Yes, why?", Arm choked, unable to resist the urge to talk about the story that is about to be told, Soh's eyes are full of doubts, but he looks calmer than Arm or James, They look very excited, like they can't wait a single second longer.

"We played Phi Three last night."

"Phi Three?", The slim young man did not understand the situation, the other two knew that Soh is a bit stupid and had a hard time understanding things, like a one year old child, but in the same way his face attracts people what that makes his friends jealous, which is good.

"Yes, the owner of the channel Thr33Gamer, he is so popular that many sponsors invite him to go to games all the time, the boys and girls always ask him for photos", he blinked slowly, opening his mouth slightly, sighing before nodding.

"Oh, I remember Phi Three."

"Well, last night you stayed playing just because the group was in trouble, some were dead, he was playing the killer."

"Oh I don't know, why? It doesn't sound familiar, did you use that name?" Even though he doesn't follow the Phi Three channel, Soh knows from his two best friends that he is very popular, that In his streams, Phi Three is very famous for his good looks, apart from the fact that they think he is very good at playing, in addition to that, he is very entertaining, resulting in many people following him.

"No, he used another ID to play because he didn't want anyone to know he was the famous Three."

"But damn, he broadcast it live, tens of thousands of people who saw it were stumped," James and Arm said, waving their hands.

"Even so, that assassin was very good at playing, he left me drawing blood," he muttered thinking about the bastard who speaks so well about himself. Soh is a good player, no wonder he won.

"You should be as satisfied as me and Arm, we cannot lose to tens of thousands of people who would embarrass and humiliate us."

"In fact, such a pretentious person must have been embarrassed to lose," Arm laughed happily, and Soh did not understand why his friends feel so satisfied if they have never spoken to Phi Three before.

"When playing it's normal to lose or win, I don't understand what they're doing here," Soh shook his head, sitting down in the chair in front of his computer.

"It won't be normal when Phi Tee wants revenge on you, buddy."

"Hey?"

"You heard that right," James said stretching his legs. "Last night he complained, he was also very angry, in the middle of the live broadcast he announced that he would look for you."

"I didn't do anything," Soh raised his eyebrows pointing at himself. "I didn't say a single word, when the game ended I turned off my computer."



Soh quickly excused himself, swearing that he has never insulted anyone in the game. Also, the game system does not allow opening the microphone to speak to the opponent, there was no way for Phi Three to hear him and his friends.



"You didn't say anything, but what about your actions Soh?" The name owner pointed to himself after Arm finished speaking. "If you used the wrong character to hit the person who prides himself on being a killer as good as the gods, it would be humiliating."

"Oh, looking at it that way."

"Yeah that's why he wants revenge. I went to watch the Phi Three live broadcast, he doesn't care who you are, you can just be a stubborn starving kid who takes fifteen baht to play video games after school, but still so celebrities will want revenge on you, you understand? He probably wants to get his face back since he's so ashamed that a nobody has beaten him. "

"Phi Three is going to want revenge with us anyway, right?" Winning or losing in a game is normal, why does he make it all so serious? Soh is very confused.

"Only you, we are not involved."

"How so? You played with me", he feels more and more confused, seeing him this way he seems like a bully. You're hearing from other people that Phi Three is upset with the person who insulted his fans, isn't that stupid?

"We won't," Soh swiveled in front of the computer, saving the game that was recorded half an hour ago before hitting Twitch to stream, like every day.

"There are only three people watching, but you still do a live one."

"Well you guys advised me that if I wanted to be confident I should do a lot of live broadcasts, I just do what you told me", Arm and James honestly only joked with that seeing that Soh was very shy since high school and that it still is.



James joked that Soh should do live broadcasts to gain more confidence, as he was very good at playing since childhood.

"Did you buy a new game?"

"I think we came at the wrong time Arm, he is so excited about the game that he has been waiting for three years that he does not care that Phi Three is so angry."

"Don't think too much, I think he must have missed it while he was sleeping," Soh still dares to be optimistic, but James knows his nerdy friend has only done three things in life: study hard, play games, and go to buffets with his friends. friends.



Not even girls to talk about, when James and Arm started talking about what the girls' white legs looked like with the A-shaped skirts, Soh complained that the clothes shouldn't be so rude, causing both of them feel bad.

James went to bed with his friend, a damn friend who changes the sheets on his bed several times a month, much more than he and Arm do together. He does things that even women don't.

The two friends let Soh play his game, even though they want to insist that their friend decide to accept the rematch against Phi Three. Netizens from all over the world would probably vote for people like Thr33Gamer to get what they deserved. Soh's level was not really expected to be that high, it really is very good to play, especially in shooting games or games that require tactics to solve situations.



"Hello BallKung123, thank you for the two month subscription, in fact if you just follow me I would be happy, but thank you very much, I will do my best to translate."



James and Arm looked at each other in confusion, sighing at their friend's kindness.

Unlike YouTube, on Twitch they are based on donations to the channel, which are cut off every thirty days depending on whether the subscriber decides that way or not. If they continue with the subscription, it would cost them between 700 and 200 baht, depending on how much money they have at the time.

But for those who do not want to invest money, they can simply press follow as usual, to be able to receive notifications of the live broadcasts and the videos that upload, but the subscriptions on Twitch are to support the work of the players.

At Soh's house they give him enough money, but he wanted to open a channel so that he could invest it in new games, even if he only has about ten people following him.



"It's a continuation of the previous installment where David found out that Sophia is a double agent."



The game continues to progress, but channel player Derya MK12 fell silent. James stood up, staring at his friend's back due to an unfamiliar sound bouncing off the screen without stopping. The person who was about to fall asleep raised his eyebrows, waiting to know what was happening.



"What's going on?"

"Look," James pointed out as donations are pouring in like never before on the Soh canal.



Since he started his channel on Twitch, he has been receiving only thirty to fifty bahts a day, with each live broadcast he has had no more than five viewers. So what's going on? Suddenly the chat room is full.



"Uh ..."



Even if they had just sat and thought, even until the next life, they would not have known what happened, James and Arm hurried out of bed and stopped next to their slim friend, staring at the computer screen to read the comments that flowed wildly.

"Shit ... the power of Phi Three."

"An angry head is not enough to defend their idol, they must have money too."

"Damn it, Soh, buy me shabu," James laughed, reaching out to massage his friend's shoulder who hadn't moved.



The two friends looked into each other's eyes before slowly looking at their friend who is apparently in shock.



This is Cyberbullying!



"Everybody ... stop donating ... I've never met that player, please stop donating money," Soh said.

"Why don't you ... let them curse?" Arm whispered. If you let them insult you further, the trio of friends could get plane tickets to Japan.

"Shit!"



The three friends jumped back causing the chair to slide and hit the bed. Soh raised his hands to cover his mouth, unable to believe what he is seeing. The trio kept their eyes on the latest donation, surprised by both the amount and the name of the donor.



"Oh, so Soh is being threatened more than in the movie Taken", in that movie the hero pursues the plaintiff because his son has been kidnapped. But Phi Three is smarter, he wants to hunt down Soh because he wants revenge for a game.

"..." Soh bit his lip until he drew the blood, feeling so nervous that his hands are cold.



Being a shy person who has never found himself in such a situation, Soh cannot deny that he is afraid.



"Do something ...", James pulled out his earpiece and whispered to him.

"Do ... do something ... close the broadcast ...", Soh looks at his friends hoping for help.

"What are you waiting for? ... Add it!" Arm pressed softly, clapping lightly as he pointed at the screen.

"Oh right ... If you are quick to accept, they will stop ..."

"That would be good..."

"Or will you let them fill you with money?"

"No," Soh quickly shook his head. Phi Three and his fans already know about his channel, next time they will probably come back together to make fun of him and donate money again.

"Then go and accept it ..."

"Yes ... with what you accept their rematch the story will end. I think Phi Three just wants to clear his name, that's all."



The two demons whisper to each other loud enough to be heard, in the background, James and Arm secretly ask that celebrity not pull it off easily.

Soh swallowed hard, staring at his broadcast's chat room filled with strangers. Most of them are people who come to insult him, saying that he is afraid of losing and that he just wants money, but there are also some people who encourage Soh to play with Phi Three, thinking of nothing but fun.



"Fine, I'll add Phi Three."



James and Arm clasped hands immediately, Soh took his Rubik's cube and moved it without looking at it, it's one of the ways he relieves stress.

Still with his hands cold with fear, he began to move the mouse to add the murderer, both in the game and in real life.



"Added, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"Oh, you don't have to apologize," Arm tells him, if he plays as well as he talks he would be an excellent player.

"That's the name of the gun, Derya MK12 ..."



Thr33Gamer: I'm talking about MK. I'm hungry, have you eaten?



Soh felt relief for a fraction of a second. Phi Three isn't so scary ... At least he's worried if he's already eaten, even though they spoke for the first time recently.



"Not yet..."
