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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm6X2n4ePT

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwJ3wCpee
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPlvbzJk1
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMDULaLDRU

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZjX0DLZbg

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1ZfanmKo
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwjfxO5bD0
I wanted to talk.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJDJWSjbc
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sYp6lFffH
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUI7N6C7m

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV1nF0Iaop

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSe2b8xk4F
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi7wAvDtxp
And slowly, the fear faded.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7X4S84iPN
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD63V9jfxk
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZRbk3YJaw

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
