Two years ago, we met in the most unexpected way — during a silly game of Among Us. Neither of us could’ve known that in between chasing imposters and fixing wires, we were actually about to stumble upon something real.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCoW0RqQgN

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVOuU1lmSn
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pg6Np1Jzr
And I gave it to him.
I don’t usually do that. I never give my Instagram to strangers — not in games, not online. But something about him felt different. Like he wasn’t just another player. Like I already knew him somehow.
Later, I found out — he doesn’t usually ask for Instagrams either.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY3hQkD01r

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxARSi73x9t

Maybe it was fate… disguised as a video game.
When his message came through, I felt a strange fear. Not because he was scary — but because I wanted to reply.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RoKcp2OzD
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqwcSod6v
I wanted to talk.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6LFGKVsof
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeammlvET11
I wanted to know more.
So we talked. Casually. Like two strangers with a spark they didn’t know how to explain. Then, he asked for my photo.
I hesitated, but I sent it.
And then… he took a screenshot.
That moment crushed me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRt3soq7Jj

I was afraid. Not of him, but of what it meant. Because for the first time in my life, someone I felt so deeply connected to had done something that made me want to cry.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJeluFqPAZ

I don’t even know why — maybe it was disappointment, or maybe it was the fear of losing something before it even began.
But we kept talking.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1JJxLTeI9
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KpOTEiiVS
And slowly, the fear faded.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNEaUjrchw
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRt1CDzPSN
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Vo1f1dO5

And love — real love — is when you stay. When you talk. When you grow past the fear, together.
And that’s exactly what we did
