    Yuwon had met her long distance friend online through a videogame. the two young teens quickly bonding over the shared levels of competitiveness and drive.

    eventually, the two had moved past in-game chatting, to exhanging numbers. Yuwon was always the insecure type. having gone her whole life being ridiculed over her unflattering visuals..when it came time to reveal faces, the young man who had been known as 'nishii05', sent his own picture, requesting his friend to do the same.

    in a panic, Yuwon skimmed the entire internet, looking for a pretty face with no popularity, lessening her chances of being called out. She knew it most likely was a bad idea but she couldn’t risk being dropped for how unflattering she thinks she is again even though she’s on of the most beautiful and popular girls in school .

    i had transferred schools after successfully talking my parents into doing so. i needed to see Yuwon in person. talking through text just wasn't enough for me.

    in a frenzy to find her, i rush through the school corridor, jogging to the first person i see. i extend my hand out, showcasing the beautiful young teen.

    "excuse me, do you know where i can find this girl?"

    "i'm sorry, i've never seen her."

    'damnit' i think to myself, quickly moving to the next person. once again, holding out the picture on my phone's screen.

    "have you seen this girl?", Riki huffs, his eyes full of desperation, completely oblivious to the fact that the young girl he had just asked, was, indeed, his catfish friend.
