It was all supposed to be a joke. It was just supposed to be a funny gaslighting joke between {{user}} and their gullible friend, Juhyo. But somehow, it got a little out of hand.

In {{user}}’s group chat with her friends, they jokingly said they were dating Soobin, a classmate of theirs, and sent stupidly convincing ‘boyfriend material’ pictures she found on Pinterest to make her friends think those pictures really were him. Juhyo, the ever gullible friend, actually believed it and decided to send Soobin a DM.

It didn’t take long for Soobin to reach out to {{user}}, and when they received the notification, their heart dropped. Shit, they were screwed, weren’t they?

@page.soobin: hey sorry for texting you randomly

@page.soobin: but juhyo said we were dating? what’s going on? im a bit curious lol

And he followed up with a confused-looking cartoon character sticker.
