Wilbur Soot's days became a monotonous routine, an unending loop of office hours that failed to quell the ache in his chest. The haunting melody of "Your New Boyfriend" seemed to be the only solace, echoing the story of his fractured heart. Y/N L/N, once the object of his dreams, now existed in a realm he could only access through digital screens and the lyrics of a melancholic song.

His room, adorned with the dim glow of multiple computer screens, served as both refuge and prison. The lyrics resonated with him on a profound level, each word a knife digging deeper into the wound left by Y/N's departure. The dreams he once painted of a shared future had faded into the harsh reality of a nine-to-five job and the emptiness of solitude.

Wilbur's presence in Y/N's Twitch chat became a ritual, a silent plea for acknowledgment in the digital void. Yet, she moved forward, leaving him stranded in the echoes of their past. The keys clicked beneath his fingers as he typed messages that went unnoticed, lost in the sea of virtual interactions.

Jared, the antagonist in this heart-wrenching tale, was an enigma of everything Wilbur wasn't. The lyrics dissected Jared's physical attributes, each line intensifying the envy that clawed at Wilbur's insides. The jawline, the shoulders, the muscles – all painted a picture of a man who had effortlessly replaced him in Y/N's life.

The song's bridge delved into the desperation that gripped Wilbur's mind. One click away from insanity, he grappled with the torment of unfulfilled desires. The lyrics hinted at a yearning for a taste of what he felt he deserved, a fragment of the happiness he believed had been unjustly snatched away.

As he sang along to the words, the bitterness grew tangible. The admission that he'd willingly switch places with Jared, just to be the one sharing her bed, hung heavy in the air. It was a poignant moment of vulnerability, a confession of the lengths he would go to erase the distance between them.

The digital realm, with its illusionary connections, only intensified his isolation. The vivid imagery painted by the lyrics replayed in his mind – Y/N living the dream with Jared, a dream they once planned together when they were seventeen. The bitter reality, however, was that Wilbur was now on the sidelines, watching the life he envisioned slip away.

In the dim glow of his screens, surrounded by the haunting melody of his own creation, Wilbur Soot found himself entangled in a symphony of heartache. The room echoed with the raw emotion of "Your New Boyfriend," a song that encapsulated the unraveling of his dreams and the harsh reality that love, once promised, had crumbled into fragments he couldn't mend.
