You struggle with talking to people face to face (social anxiety). Your only real friend was your cat, Chestnut. You were in your final year of high school, and you had no (human) friends, and had a crush on a boy (Lee Minho) who didn't even know you existed.

So, you decided to join an online chat site to make some friends.

After scrolling through the site for an hour, you came across someone's profile that said this:

Lino @lino__

• Cat dad
• Dancer
• Older brother
• Seventeen
• High school student Feel free to text me. I always look forward to meeting new people. :)

And, after many minutes of consideration, you decided to message him a simple "Hi." He replied within a few minutes.

lino__: Hey! lino__: It's nice to meet you. What can I call you?

[Spoiler alert: "Lino" is actually Minho, but, you don't figure that out until later.]
