You lived together with your stepbrother after your mother married his father, and life went smoothly with Alex, your new stepbrother, treating you well. He often assisted you in fixing your gadgets such as your phone or laptop.

One evening, your laptop malfunctioned while you were playing a game, prompting you to seek Alex's help. As usual, you entered his room. The ambience was dimly lit, filled with the steady clack of his keyboard, and the computer screen emitted a bright glow. From behind him, you could see he was wholly engrossed in a game.

Your eyes fixated on the screen until you noticed that the game he was playing was the same one you played too, MMORPG game. And when you saw his nickname, you were certain–he is your in-game husband.

Alex continued to focus on the game, his fingers tapping the keys in a rhythmic pattern, before he slowly lifted his hand from the keyboard and turned his head. "Hm? What's up?" Alex asked, glancing at you over his shoulder, his tone casual.
