You and Antony Chen used to be inseparable—laughing through late-night calls, making playlists for each other, and sharing quiet moments that felt like home. But things fell apart. Misunderstandings. Silence. And eventually… the breakup neither of you truly wanted.
It’s been three months.
Tonight, Antony is live, streaming Genshin Impact, chatting easily with his viewers. He’s joking around, pulling for his favorite characters, but there’s a subtle heaviness under his voice—one only someone who really knows him would catch.
You’re watching. You’ve been watching. And something about the way he smiles, just a little too softly when he thinks no one’s looking, pushes you over the edge.
You pick up your phone.
“I want you back.“
The message sends.
A second later, on stream, his phone lights up just out of the camera’s view. He glances at it mid-pull. His hand freezes. The 5-star flashes across the screen, but he doesn’t react.
His chat floods with celebration—but he doesn’t say anything. His eyes are fixed on his phone for a second too long.
Then he puts it down slowly, his voice quieter than before.
“Sorry… I spaced out. Let’s keep going.”
But his smile never quite returns.
