"Choi Seungcheol" the first name you will see in my search history on Facebook. Seungcheol is a handsome guy who has those rounded eyes, pale white skin, red lips and long-eyelashes that gives him a handsome vampire vibes. He is popular on social media and labelled as one of the top ulzzang (bestface); has million of  suscribers on Youtube, millions of fans on Tiktok, hundred thousands followers on Facebook, 5 million followers on Instagram and 700,000 followers on Twitter! A lot of people who share the same age like mine are getting head-over-heels to this guy and dreaming of getting notice.

Seungcheol and I have 5 mutual friends on Facebook. And those five persons was my friend before, not until they got famous and literally forgot about my existence. Well that's life. People come and go. Anyway, I am an ultimate fan of Seungcheol! Even though he never accepts my friend request (and I know he won't), I always supported him by commenting and sharing his posts and photos.

"Mom, I saw a pile of boxes in the next door. Are we going to have a new neighbor?" I asked while brushing my wet hair and preparing for school.

Mom put the lunchbox she made inside my bag before anwering, "Yes darling. I had a talk with them  and they look so kind."

"Oh, I see." I picked my bag and wore my shoes.

"Ahh (y/n), don't forget to come home as soon as possible after class."

"Why?"

"Today is your parent's wedding anniversary," she pouted and crossed her arms.

Gosh! I forgot about it!

"S-Sorry mom! I forgot! I didn't prepare a gift," I apologized.

She chuckled and said, "You don't have to, my dear. Just come home early. For me and for your dad, you are the best gift in our lives."

Awwww. I swear she is the sweetest mom in the whole world. 

"Thanks mom. I love you!" I kissed her cheek before going to school.

While walking in the main entrance of my school, I briefly check Seungcheol's new post on his Facebook account. He is wearing his school uniform in his selfie, pouting his lips with the caption: "Good morning! otw to my school!"

I quickly commented on his picture: "If I saw someone like you in my school, I won't never absent!"

"Good morning!" a guy approached me from the back and even put his arm around my shoulder. I just...ignored him since I was too busy stalking my Seungcheol. "Hey, put down your phone while walking. You might bump into something."

I put my phone inside my pocket and looked at him. "Oh? Mingyu. Good morning."

Mingyu is an old friend. He is tall, manly and handsome. But a little clumsy and a shy type when it comes to girls. That's why he is not that popular. Also, he never had a social media account.

"Ahhh~ I lack of sleep. I finished our research paper until 2am," he complained.

"Darn research paper," I added. "Ahh! We have a project! It is a group project. We have to post our vid on Facebook and gain a lot of likes!"

"Oh really?"

I imitated his tone, "~Oh really?~ hey, how will you help us? You don't have a Facebook account."

Mingyu crossed his arms. "I really don't get it why teachers have to push the students into gaining likes by social media. What about students like me? Besides, I don't enjoy using stuffs like social media. Just a waste of time looking of stranger's posts and edited picture full of filters."
