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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2mkyOb0v9

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kI3jRxrEo
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsulV5N9Pj
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTS7ok3PAJ

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn90sqjVTtr

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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSn3UvWg4V
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFNToupMBe
I wanted to talk.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhuTou0ziU
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIhemr3Lyl
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18jP9j8VyI

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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzbj27Y2aj

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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m6WAnEckt
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYhl3ClIxy
And slowly, the fear faded.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ds9VYhz7
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6f7mfV4Dv
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qfflGnob9

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
