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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVRsSDP4KT

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IGqgPyuwF
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QfG9DrTFE
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSEDPcrmQQ

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZrLCeNsje

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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdwqIUW9W6
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ2pQOLSCx
I wanted to talk.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56OOQyz45g
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuBXjzzKb5
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamDo1Etzh

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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9etWb1uZ
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb2gq89dJk
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZdC9oVpT
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gJh1wo9JN
And slowly, the fear faded.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2kyUOzqME
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcv8kmyBwc
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaXq5JGydu

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
