"Hmm, what's this?", I clicked on the platform, and saw an intense conversation about all kinds of things.

I looked at the name tags. "Odode", "Jungsuaa" "The one and only Jooyeon" "Goo Gun-il" and "Junhan". There were five people, but one wasn't really a part of the conversation.

- Hey Seungmin, guess what, Jungsuaa said in the platform.
- What? A new crush? Odode answered, clearly annoyed. And apparently his real name was Seungmin.
- Umm, kinda...But it's serious this time! We've been talking for two weeks now. Jungsuaa wrote, sounding excited.
-Two weeks is still a very short time Jungsu... Odode replied, not very keen on the conversation anymore.
- But I love them! Jungsuaa made his response very clear. I don't think you can love a person within two weeks... I think this "Jungsuaa" is a little arrogant.
-Let me intervene, Goo Gun-il wrote in a serious tone.
-Did you even know that people can see our conversations? Anyone can come watch these, so make sure you don't spill all the beans, Goo Gun-il said, trying to teach the latter.
-Oh you're right... But why would I care?Jungsuaa answered.

What if the person who Jungsu likes is reading the conversation?

A notificiation is shown on the upper right side of the screen "Ganao joined the conversation". Obviously I had to come up with a nickname, since everybody else had one.

-Hello, I said to the people.
-Hi? I didn't know people could join the conversation just like that... Jooyeon said perplexed.

-Oh, they can't. I accepted him because I saw that he was watching our conversation, Goo Gun-il replied, trying to sound educational.

-How do you know who is watching and who not? Odode asked him.

-Because I made this whole internet platform, he replied proudly with a few old-looking emojis following the sentence.

-You must be very skilled with computers, I said, trying to satisfy him. I myself never really had an interest into computers, and I'm glad there is people who really know this stuff.

-Well I study with computers every day, so I know a thing or two. Goo Gun-il said to me, clearly keen on the topic.

-It's great that there is people who are like you Gungil,  Odode wrote to the latter.

-You spelled my name wrong again... Go back to school bench please, Goo Gun-il said.

-Oh it can'th be that bad! I'll be fine. Odode answered him following the sentence with annoyed emojis.

-How old is everyone in here? I asked.

-I'm 16, Odode said.
-I'm 20, Goo Gun-il answered.
-I'm 16, Jooyeon replied.
-I'm 17 and Junhan is 16 too, Jungsuaa answered for both of them. Maybe Junhan is kind of shy? Well not everyone likes new people. I was like that too in middle school, but it was caused by specific people.

'Flasback to the year 2014'
"Hey watch this!" An annoying voice could be heard.
I looked to the direction and saw a ball flying towards me. Then I fell to the ground and could hear a bunch of kids laughing loudly.
Ugh, I groaned and went to the nurses office.

"Gaon, what happened to you?" The nurse said to me while disinfecting the bruise.
"I just fell to the ground, I'm totally fine". I answered, trying to not disturb the nurse more.
"But you have a huge bruise on your forehead. That can't be caused by simply falling to the ground. Now tell me the truth, the nurse said to me convincily".
"Well some kid just accidentally threw a ball towards me and I couldn't dodge it fast enough".
"You have to tell me who the kid is. Are they still outside?" The nurse asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I think they are still playing, but you don't have to go there, it'll be fine. If something like this happens again, I'll make sure to come to you".
"Well if you're so sure... Goodbye then and, maybe try to avoid being in the ballgame area so you don't get anymore bruises". The nurse said to me while smiling.
'End of flashback'

-Jooyeon, is everything okay? You haven't been talking at all, Goo Gun-il said in the platform.
-Sorry, I'm just tired. The latter answered lazily.
-But usually you are the one talking all day, Jungsu said worriedly.

-I just have some problems which I need to deal on my own, I'll be fine. And I'm going to sleep now, Jooyeon said.
-Oh alright.. Goodnight Joo, Goo Gun-il answered sadly.

"The one and only Jooyeon" left the chat

That was odd.

-So Ganao, where are you from? Odode asked me.

-Just call me Gaon, and I'm from Gyeonggi-do, but I currently live in Seoul, I answered.

-Oh we live in Soeoul too! Odode answered excitedly.

-You all? I asked them.

-Well actually, Junhan visits Busan often, because of his sister, and Seungmin, you messed up again. Goo Gun-il said.

-Oh dude cmon, stop correcting me every time! Odode answered him annoyed.

-I won't stop, because maybe you'll learn something, Goo Gun-il answered him again.

-Goodnight Gun-il. Odode said.

"Odode" left the chat

Right. That's enough talk for today I guess.

I just continued browsing through the internet and watched a few vlogs before going to bed.

I brushed and flossed my teeth and then went straight to bed. I was feeling really exhausted today. Maybe it was because of that earlier anxiety attack I got in class. It wasn't so nice getting it so suddenly, even though I haven't had one since two months. What a nuisance.

But also, I've been talking to this person, whose name is apparently Youngjin? I mean, they seem nice, but they are very weird over text... I sighed and tried to get the bad thoughts out of my head and fall asleep.

Didn't work. It's already 2am, and I have to get up early in the morning. Shit, why does this always happen to me?
