It was a normal Tuesday morning for 20-year-old Adele May. She scrolled through her  Twitter on her phone while the sun peaked in through the sky blue curtains hanging over the window of her apartment. Her apartment wasn't very big, but it was plenty for one person, and she could easily have enough room if one of her friends wanted to come over.

She began her daily spamming of her friend, Amber. Adele didn't know Amber in real life, they had met several years ago, back when they were both young teens, sneaking on and try not to get caught.

They were now best friends, calling every Sunday and messaging each other every day.

Adele left her with some cheesy pick up lines on one of her posts:

'if you were a transformer, you'd be Optimus fine.'

' Were your mom and dad bakers? Because they made a cutie pie ;)'

Amber replied only moments later.

' OMG, Addie, these are cute but cringey at the same time.'

Nonetheless, she sent one back.

' Are you French? Because Eiffel for you.'

Adele laughed to herself. She knew it probably wasn't healthy to be on her phone so much, but it was her only connection to Amber, and other people had similar interests as her.

They continued their flirting, when suddenly an unfamiliar name joined the conversation, tagging Adele in response.

'Ooh, dude, she's flirtinggggg'

Adele looked at their user.

TXTbeomgyuforever

Oh, another K-pop fan. She privately messaged Amber, asking if she knew them, before replying.

'yupppp. I can flirt with you too if you'd like :smirky face:'

Amber replied first. 'Yeah, I met him a few days ago on here. He's really nice. His name is Gyu, and no, it's not short for Beomgyu. You two would probably get along great, he runs off the same crackhead energy as you and I.'

'XD, okay then,' Adele replied, going back to her conversation with Gyu. He had responded to her.

'Ofc cutie, should we take this to the dm's?'

Adele laughed. This was new, she had never experienced this before.

She private messaged him first. 'Hey handsome.'

He sent a 😊 in response. 'You don't even know what I look like.'

'Well, you called me cutie, and you don't know what I look like, now do you?'

Adele thought she had a solid argument, when he replied.

'You link your Insta in your bio, and you've got photos on there. I know what you look like, sweetheart.'

Adele was slightly flustered. 'thank you, I guess. Do I get to see what you look like?'

He responded a few seconds later 'No, not yet. . . I'm not very confident about my looks. Maybe later though.'

'C'mon handsome, I bet you're gorgeous. And even if you're not what some people consider attractive, from what I've seen so far, you've got enough personality that they won't even notice.'

Adele hoped her reply wasn't rude. She second-guessed herself as soon as she sent it, but his response was quite sweet.

'Thank you, gorgeous. From what I've seen you've got both the looks AND personality.'

She was going to respond, when she got a text from her coworker at the catering company where she worked.

'Where are you? We need you here in 5.'

Adele's eyes widened as she scrambled to get ready. She pulled on fresh clothes, brushing her teeth and lacing up her black Vans high tops before leaving.

'Sorry, hottie, I have to go now. I've got work. As soon as I'm finished I'll text you though.'

His reply made her blush slightly. 'Aight sweetheart, btw, when I text you goodnight, which number should I use?'

Adele used speech to text to reply as she drove to the building where she worked. 'Is this just flirting, or are you actually asking for my number?'

'Both, but I'm fine messaging on here if you don't want to give me it. I'll respect your decision either way.'

Instead of inquiring his intentions further, she messaged him her number.

He texted a moment later, asking if it was her.

'Yup.'

Gyu sent a thumbs up emoji.

'Thanks for trusting me, princess. I'll let you go now, bye.'

He messaged her something in Korean, and she used her (very little) knowledge of korean (and google translate) to find that he had texted that he loved her.

She smiled to herself. Adele liked people like this. Even if they weren't actually in love with her, it was still fun to message back-and-forth like this.

'Oh, before I go, should I put your contact in as 'Gyu' or 'Mine'?' Adele figured it was flirty enough for their conversation.

'The second one is good with me :smirk emoji:'

Adele had pulled into the parking lot, and quickly saved his contact as 'Mine 🔥 🥵'. She sent him a screenshot.

Gyu sent a heart in response. 'I might be asleep when you're done with work, because of the time difference, so I'm gonna say good night now.'

Adele smiled. 'Goodnight Gyu.'

She shut her phone off, entering the building with a smile. Adele tied on her apron, getting ready. They had a wedding the upcoming weekend, and it was her job to make the desserts.

A/N- I'm sorry for not updating until now, I put myself in a bad position where I write in a notebook and then type it up, and I only have access to an iPad, which is pretty hard to type on.

I have a lot more in my notebook, I might update again today, who knows. It gets a bit dirty in later chapters, so be ready 😈
