y/n giggled to herself as she read romace stories on her phone. she longed for a relationship and attempted to fill that void of tales of other peoples love. she loved to read them, but deep inside she felt like she would never feel the things she wanted.
one day y/n decided to message her favourite author.
"i'm sorry to bother you, but i just wanted to tell you i love your stories. they make me happy :)"
as soon as she sent the message y/n felt a wave of embarrasment wash over her. she deleted the conversation from her sight and set her phone down to focus on something else.

the next day y/n was looking through her playlist as she got a notification. she clicked on it, immediately realising who it was.
"thank you so much! it makes me happy to hear that someone enjoys my stories."
y/n smiled and began to type a response.
"of course!"
she didn't know what else to say and sent the message as it was. within minutes she had another reply.
"you seem nice. do you want to talk somewhere else? my instagram is @kanghaerin06"
immediately y/n closed the app and typed in the username, requesting to follow her and sending her a quick "hi!".
as soon as her follow request was accepted, y/n began to scroll through her posts. she was beautiful.
"hey! how's it going?"
y/n clicked on the banner and opened the conversation. she could feel her heart beat in her chest as she typed.
"i'm doing alright. you?"
the moment the message was sent she saw the words "seen" written in small print below her chat bubble.
"i'm pretty good. i'm haerin by the way. what's your name?"
"i'm y/n. i'm glad you're doing well :)"
the two began to text back and forth for hours, talking about their favourite bands, a couple of flirty messages exchanged here and there.
eventually, haerin told y/n that she was tired and was going to go to sleep. y/n felt a pang of dissapointment in her heart, but knew that sleep was important and replied with a "goodnight!" and for good measure, "sleep well!"
y/n sighed as she set her phone down on her lap, going over the last few hours in her head. she continued on with her day and waited to talk to haerin again.
time zones suck, right?
