You’re scrolling through your MySpace Top 8, trying to decide which glittery GIF fits best, when your inbox flashes (1 new message).

Heeseung: hey!! srry if this sounds random lol. i jus saw ur page :)

You blink at the screen. The dial-up screeches in the background.

Another message pops up instantly.

Heeseung: ur profile’s rlly cool… u seem fun :D wanna chat??

You laugh, fingers hovering over the keyboard. Somehow, suddenly, staying up past 1 a.m. doesn’t seem so bad.
