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.31Please respect copyright.PENANAKKYoz0Qstb

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.31Please respect copyright.PENANAG947Ma5kZr
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPgOuCnOaAY
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.31Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Ig2vOMc6

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.31Please respect copyright.PENANAixM2j0HuGH

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.31Please respect copyright.PENANApzPXjCapyZ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAefqNNEaHh6
I wanted to talk.31Please respect copyright.PENANAekhwensLT2
31Please respect copyright.PENANASgziyREzF5
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.31Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZNergwkY7

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.31Please respect copyright.PENANA2gMRqFBpPP
31Please respect copyright.PENANARYMFVgLcOT
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.31Please respect copyright.PENANAxmaozfnL84
31Please respect copyright.PENANAX0vi31ez92
And slowly, the fear faded.31Please respect copyright.PENANAikRWmRIyFe
31Please respect copyright.PENANASlqGftmlQM
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.31Please respect copyright.PENANABbwX3VubxW

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
