Episode 1

THe soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains in Tanu’s room. She lay curled up in her bed, clutching her blanket tightly, as the sound of her mother’s voice echoed through the room.

“Tanu! Wake up, beta. You’ll be late for college!” her mom called out, gently shaking her shoulder.

Tanu stirred, groaning softly. “Just five more minutes, Maa,” she mumbled, burying her face in the pillow.

“No excuses! You’ll have to get up now,” her mom insisted, pulling the blanket off her. Reluctantly, Tanu opened her eyes, blinking against the sunlight, and dragged herself out of bed.

She completed her morning routine—a quick shower, braiding her hair neatly, and dressing in a simple hoddie and jeans. By the time she reached the kitchen, the smell of freshly made parathas filled the air.

“Here, have your breakfast,” her mom said, placing a plate of paratha and achar in front of her.

“Thanks, Maa,” Tanu said, eating quickly. Before leaving, she called out, “Bye, Maa! Bye, Papa!”

Her father looked up from his morning newspaper, nodding with a smile, while her mother waved her off. Her elder brother and sister were still asleep, enjoying the luxury of a late start.

The college was just a short walk from her house. The path was lined with trees, and the air felt fresh and cool. As she approached the college gates, she spotted her best friend, Priya, waiting for her under their usual spot—the big banyan tree.

“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Priya teased, grinning.

Tanu rolled her eyes. “You sound just like Maa. Couldn’t you have been a little more sympathetic?”

“Nope. Someone’s gotta keep you on your toes,” Priya replied, linking her arm with Tanu’s as they walked towards their classroom.

They chatted about their day ahead, assignments, and the latest gossip. Priya, always the more outgoing of the two, loved teasing Tanu about her quiet nature.

Priya leaned closer to Kirti (Tanu) with a teasing smirk. "You know, in our entire friend circle, you’re the only one still single."

Kirti’s cheeks turned slightly pink as she looked away. "I-I’m good being single," she mumbled.

Priya raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? No secret crush? No cute love story?"

Kirti shook her head quickly. "No way! And you know my father’s friend is a professor at our college. If he ever found out I was dating someone, just imagine what would happen!"

Priya giggled. "So you’re scared, huh?"

Kirti huffed. "Obviously! I like my peaceful life."

Priya smirked, snatching Kirti’s phone from the table. "Well, if you won’t find someone, I’ll do it for you."

"Wait, what?!" Kirti’s eyes widened in panic. "Priya, give me my phone back!"

Ignoring her, Priya quickly downloaded a dating app. "Let’s see… cute, shy, and single? Perfect profile!" she teased, clicking through the setup.

"Priyaaa!" Kirti lunged to grab her phone, but Priya dodged, laughing.

The other friends watched, giggling as Kirti desperately tried to stop her.

"Don’t worry, Kirti," Priya winked. "By tonight, you might just have a date!"

Kirti groaned, covering her face. This is a disaster!

"Okay, listen up, Miss Shy and Single," Priya said, waving the phone in front of her. "Since you’re new to this, let me introduce you to the app."

Kirti groaned. "Priya, I don’t want to—"

"Shhh!" Priya shushed her dramatically. "Step one—don’t send your real picture. Keep some mystery, you know?"

Kirti blinked. "Then how will anyone know it’s me?"

Priya rolled her eyes. "It’s not about that! Just use a cute aesthetic picture or something. No need to give everything away at once."

Kirti frowned. "That sounds… suspicious."

Priya smirked. "Exactly! Keep them curious. Now, step two—never, and I mean never, give out personal information. No phone number, no address, no college name. Got it?"

Kirti sighed. "What if someone asks?"

Priya gasped dramatically. "Then you block them! If a guy is too nosy, it’s a red flag, babe."

Kirti shook her head, still unsure. "This feels weird."

Priya chuckled. "That’s because it’s new for you. But trust me, a little flirting won’t hurt. Who knows? You might even have fun!"

Tanu frowned. “Are you crazy? You know how strict my parents are. They’d never allow it.”

“They won’t know unless you tell them. Don’t worry, it’s just for fun.

Tanu hesitated but couldn’t ignore the spark of curiosity that Priya’s words ignited. “I don’t know… I’ll think about it.”

As they entered their classroom and the lecture began, Tanu found herself wondering about the app Priya download . Little did she know, her life was about to take a turn she could never have imagined.

The college bell rang, signaling the end of the day's classes. Tanu quickly packed her books and waved goodbye to her friend at the college gate. "Don’t forget to check the app tonight!" her friend teased before disappearing into the crowd.

Walking home, Tanu felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She rarely ventured into unfamiliar territory, and the chatting app felt like a new, strange world. Once home, she greeted her mother, freshened up, and helped prepare dinner.

After finishing her dinner with her family, Tanu cleaned up the table and went to her small study corner. She spent the next couple of hours immersed in her books, reviewing the day’s lessons. Her disciplined routine was something her parents admired.

Around 10 PM, feeling satisfied with her studies, Tanu stretched her arms and closed her notebook. She switched off her study lamp and picked up her phone, a small indulgence before bed.

As the house quieted down for the night, Tanu slipped under her blanket, her phone tucked securely in her hands. She glanced over at her elder sister, annu, who was lying beside her, scrolling on her own phone.

Tanu knew annu wouldn’t hesitate to tell their mother if she discovered Tanu had downloaded a chatting app. The thought made her stomach churn.

Exploring the chatting app her friend insisted she open.

Her thumb swiped across the screen as she browsed through various profiles.As she scrolled, her hope quickly faded.

The first profile? A guy flexing his muscles shirtless. Ugh, next.

The second? Someone lying on a bed with a creepy smirk. Disgusting!

Then came the weird ones—guys with shady usernames, posing in dimly lit rooms, some even sending inappropriate captions.

Tanu’s face burned with embarrassment. "What is wrong with these people?!" she muttered under her breath.

She scrolled faster, trying to find at least one normal profile, but the more she looked, the worse it got. Some bios were filled with cheesy pickup lines, while others were just… too much.

Her stomach churned. This was a mistake.

Just as she was about to close the app, a new profile popped up—different from the rest.

The profile picture was of a fluffy white cat with piercing blue eyes. Tanu’s heart melted instantly. She had always loved animals, especially cats, and seeing this adorable creature made her smile. She clicked on the profile out of curiosity.

The name read Kim Yoon. Intrigued, Tanu hesitated for a moment before typing a simple message:

“Hii, your cat is so cute!”

She wasn’t expecting an immediate response, but her phone buzzed almost instantly.

“Hi, Tanu. Thanks! Her name is Snow. Do you like cats?”

Next scene

In the quiet of his room, Yoon was engrossed in his work. His game development project was taking up most of his time, and he was making steady progress. The glow of his computer screen illuminated his focused expression. But just as he was about to finalize a line of code, his phone buzzed, interrupting his concentration.

It was a message from his friend, Shi han.

Shi han:

“I downloaded a chatting app on your phone. Enjoy smirk 😏.

Yoon’s get irritate. What? he thought, confused for a moment. He quickly unlocked his phone and opened and going to delete when one message pop up .

“Hii, your cat is so cute!”

The first thing he noticed was the unusual profile picture—a simple rabbit icon, gentle and unassuming. It was a stark contrast to the more flashy profiles he was used to seeing. Intrigued, Yoon clicked on the conversation.

The screen lit up with messages, and his eyes narrowed as he began reading. The messages were from Tanu, the girl from India, the one with whom he had exchanged messages.

NEXT SCENE

Tanu stared at the screen, her fingers hovering over the keyboard. Why am I even replying? she thought, feeling a little nervous.

But it wasn’t like the other profiles. Yoon’s cat was cute, and he seemed… normal.

Taking a deep breath, she finally typed:

Tanu: "Yes! I love cats. Snow is really adorable. How are you?"

She hit send and immediately regretted it. Was that too simple? Too boring?

Tanu bit her lip, waiting for a reply, her heart beating a little faster than usual.

Yoon lay on the sofa, one arm resting behind his head, lazily scrolling through his phone. When the message notification popped up, he smirked slightly.

He stared at the message for a second, tapping his fingers against the phone. She seemed a little nervous, but at least she wasn’t sending weird emojis or cringy pickup lines.

With a small chuckle, he typed back:

Yoon: "I’m good. Just being lazy right now. What about you?"

He sent the message and stretched, waiting to see if she’d reply quickly or hesitate. Let’s see where this goes.

Yoon’s phone buzzed almost instantly. Raising an eyebrow, he unlocked it and read the message.

Tanu: "Right now… talking to you."

There was something innocent about her reply—simple, honest. Not overly flirty, not trying too hard. It made him smirk.

He stretched again, feeling a little more interested now. Not bad.

Yoon: "Oh? So I have all your attention right now?"

He smirked as he sent the message, curious to see how she would react.

Yoon’s phone buzzed again. He glanced at the screen, smirking as he read her reply.

Tanu: "Yes… Where are you from?"

He stretched, adjusting his position on the sofa before typing back.

Yoon: "I’m from Korea.

Yoon’s phone lit up again. He glanced at the screen, a small smirk forming.

Tanu: "I am from India. Can I know your age?"

He tapped his fingers on the phone, amused.

Yoon: "Ah, curious about my age already? I’m 21 What about you?"

He hit send, leaning back on the sofa more comfortably .

Yoon's phone buzzed again. He casually glanced at the message and raised an eyebrow.

Tanu: "18."

He smirked, tapping his fingers against the phone. She’s younger than I expected.

After a moment, he typed back:

Yoon: "Oh, you’re still a baby then." 😉

Tanu: "Yes, little baby."

He smirked, finding her innocence amusing. Without thinking much, he typed back:

Yoon: "Hmm… should I call you ‘baby’ from now on then?"

Yoon's smirk grew as he read her message.

Tanu: "You can't! You can call me Tanu."

He chuckled, amused by how firm yet innocent she sounded.

Yoon: "Oh? So strict. Alright, Tanu it is. But if I accidentally call you ‘baby’ one day, don’t be mad."

Yoon leaned back, expecting a playful reply. But when he read Tanu’s message, he paused.

Tanu: "Don't speak like that… like flirting and all. I’m new to this. I never talk like that."

He blinked, a little surprised. Up until now, he had assumed she was like the other girls he had talked to—ones who were used to casual flirting, sometimes even bold conversations. But Tanu… she was different.

He ran a hand through his hair, feeling slightly guilty for assuming otherwise.

After a moment, he typed back:

Yoon: "Got it. I won’t talk like that again. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. You really never used an app like this before?"

For the first time in a while, he actually felt curious—not just about the conversation, but about her.

Yoon read her message and smirked slightly.

Tanu: "Yes, my friend downloaded it. I didn’t want to, but she forced me."

He chuckled, shaking his head. So she really isn’t here by choice.

After a moment, he replied:

Yoon: "Ah, so you’re here because of your friend, not because you wanted to meet someone?"

He sent the message, leaning back. Now he was even more curious—why would someone so innocent even keep the app if she wasn’t interested?

Yoon raised an eyebrow as he read her message.

Tanu: "I’ll tell you a secret… My friend wanted me to talk to boys because one day in class, a boy dropped his pen, and when I helped him, my hand was shaking. I was so nervous. She thinks—"

Yoon chuckled, already guessing what her friend must have thought.

Yoon: "She thinks you’re too shy around boys, so she wants you to practice talking to them?"

He smirked, imagining Tanu’s awkwardness. She’s really innocent.

Yoon: "So… am I your ‘practice boy’ now?"

Yoon read her message, a small smile playing on his lips.

Tanu: "No! You can be my friend if you want.

He chuckled, shaking his head. So serious.

Yoon: "Alright, Tanu. Friends it is. No flirting, no teasing. Just a simple friendship. Deal?"

Tanu: "Ok! Deal!"

For the first time since installing the app, she felt comfortable. She wasn’t sure why, but talking to Yoon felt… nice. Different.

.

Tanu and Yoon kept chatting, slowly getting more comfortable with each other. They talked about their favorite foods, movies, and little things about their lives.

Tanu laughed when Yoon told her about his struggle with spicy Indian food, and Yoon smirked when she shyly admitted she still slept with a sister .

Time passed quickly.

When Tanu glanced at her phone, she was shocked.

Tanu: "Oh! It’s already 12 o’clock!"

Yoon checked his phone too, raising an eyebrow.

Yoon: "Wow, I didn’t even realize. You’re easy to talk to, Tanu."

She felt a small warmth in her chest at his words.

Tanu: "You too. But I should sleep now… or my mom will scold me."

Yoon chuckled.

Yoon: "Alright, go sleep, little baby." 😉

Tanu pouted, quickly typing back.

Tanu: "I told you not to call me that!"

Yoon smirked.

Yoon: "Okay, okay. Goodnight, Tanu. Sweet dreams."

Tanu smiled softly before replying.

Tanu: "Goodnight, Yoon. Sleep well."

She placed her phone under her pillow and whispered to herself, “Why is he so nice? It feels like I've know him forever she snuggled under her blanket. Her heart was still racing from the conversation, but a sense of calm and happiness filled her.

Meanwhile, Yoon put his phone aside, staring at the ceiling for a moment. She’s so different, he thought, her simplicity leaving a lasting impression on him.

For the first time in a long while, Yoon felt a strange warmth in his chest—a feeling he couldn’t quite define. With a small smile, he turned off his bedside lamp, Snow jumping onto the bed to curl up beside him.

“Good night, little baby ,” he whispered to himself as he closed his eyes, letting sleep take over.

Next day

Tanu woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she reached for her phone. The moment she unlocked it, a message popped up.

Yoon: "Good morning, Tanu."

A small smile appeared on her face. She hadn’t expected him to message first. Feeling a little happy, she quickly replied.

Tanu: "Good morning, Yoon!"

After that, she got up and started her morning routine—freshening up, changing clothes, and having breakfast with her parents.

“Tanu, eat properly,” her mother reminded her as she hurried to finish her meal.

“Yes, yes, Mom!” she said quickly, stuffing the last bite into her mouth.

After saying goodbye to her parents, she grabbed her bag and stepped outside. It was time to meet Priya.

Tanu and Priya walked toward their college together, chatting casually. But Priya couldn’t hold back her curiosity for long.

Priya: "Okay, enough small talk. Tell me—did you talk to any boy?" she asked, nudging Tanu playfully.

Tanu hesitated for a second, then sighed.

Tanu: "Yes… I did."

Priya gasped dramatically, grabbing Tanu’s arm.

Priya: "WHAT?! Who? When? How?! Tell me everything!"

Tanu rolled her eyes at Priya’s overreaction but smiled slightly.

Tanu: "His name is Yoon. i messaged first, and we talked a lot last night. He even messaged me good morning today."

Priya's smirk grew.

Priya: "Ohhh, he’s interested in you for sure."

Tanu: "No! We’re just friends. I told him not to flirt, and he agreed."

Priya raised an eyebrow.

Priya: "Hmm… just friends? Are you sure? No little heart flutters?" she teased.

Tanu quickly shook her head.

Tanu: "No way! I was just happy to talk to someone new. That’s it."

Priya smirked knowingly.

Priya: "We’ll see."

Meanwhile, miles away, Yoon had just finished his gym session. He was sweating slightly, drinking water when his phone buzzed.

Seeing Tanu’s message, a small smile appeared on his face.

Yoon: "Finally! I thought my little baby forgot about me."

Then, realizing what he wrote, he chuckled and quickly sent another message.

Yoon: "Oops, sorry! I mean, my dear friend Tanu. Happy now?" smrik,

Feeling lighter, Yoon went to his room, took a quick shower, and started preparing breakfast.

Just as he was about to eat, his phone buzzed again. Another message from Tanu.

Tanu: "I told you to stop calling me that! And what are you doing?"

Yoon smirked, taking a bite of his food before replying.

Yoon: "Cooking, eating, getting ready for college. You?"

Tanu read his message and smiled slightly.

Tanu: "Attending a boring lecture." 😩

Yoon chuckled.

Yoon: "Want me to rescue you?"

Tanu rolled her eyes but couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her lips.

Tanu quickly typed back.

Tanu: "No!"

Yoon smirked as he read her message.

Yoon: "So serious. Alright, alright, I won’t rescue you. But if you fall asleep in class, don’t blame me."

Tanu sighed, shaking her head.

Tanu: "I’m not sleeping. I’m paying attention."

Yoon chuckled, imagining her sitting all serious in class, trying not to get distracted.

Yoon: "Alright, Miss Studious. I’ll let you focus. Talk later?"

Tanu hesitated for a second, then smiled slightly.

Tanu: "Okay, talk later."

Yoon put his phone down, still smiling as he finished his breakfast and got ready for college. Meanwhile, in her lecture, Tanu tried to focus, but a tiny part of her was already looking forward to their next conversation.
