Oops!

"What's up, Hikari?" A message from my friend popped up on my screen. It was already late, and I had spent hours scrolling through social media, trying to find some inspiration for my next article.

"Not much, just cleaning up my Snapchat," I replied, swiping through the endless selfies and random moments I had captured.

"You should see who viewed your story," she teased, knowing my apprehension towards the app.

"Nah, I don't care about that shit. I'm going to delete them all," I said with a yawn, my thumb hovering over the delete button.

As I scrolled through, a notification caught my eye. A new message from a username I didn't recognize. I clicked on it, expecting a spam offer or a random compliment. But the words sent a jolt through my body. "Hikari, I rarely reply to anyone's stories, but yours... you really took my interest." My heart raced. Who was this person?

I frantically scrolled back through my snaps, searching for what could've made someone feel the need to message me. And there it was: a video I had sent to the wrong person. A video that was never meant for anyone's eyes but my own.

"O shit!" I whispered to myself. Panic set in. Why did I send that? It was a drunken mistake, a moment of carelessness that could ruin everything.

The stranger's message continued, "You're the first girl to ever do that without asking for anything in return. I'm intrigued."

Hikari, feeling uninspired, discusses her Snapchat habits with her friend Rose. Despite planning to deactivate the app, she receives a mysterious message from an unknown user named Kim Seon Yung, who is intrigued by a private video she accidentally posted. He reveals his identity as a famous guitarist and expresses his attraction to her authenticity.

My cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. That was a mistake," I typed back, hoping against hope that he would understand and let it go.

The response was swift and unexpected, "Hikari, don't apologize. That was the most genuine thing I've seen in a while. And yes, I'm that guitarist."

My jaw dropped. Kim Seon Yung, the heartthrob guitarist from that indie band everyone was obsessed with? He had seen my video?

"I gonna meet you soon," his message read.

I couldn't believe it. This had to be a prank. But the thrill of his attention was undeniable.

After a quick shower and throwing on my favorite oversized sweater, I grabbed my bag and headed out to give my student his private lesson. The whole time, I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was about to take a wild turn.

As I arrived at the coffee shop, my thoughts were scattered. I sat down with my laptop, the caffeine buzz helping me focus on the words dancing across the screen. The scent of freshly ground beans filled the air, mingling with the faint sound of rain tapping against the windows.

"Ahh, finally finished," I murmured, closing my laptop with a satisfied click. I took a moment to appreciate the quiet before posting a casual snap of the closed laptop with the caption, "Another day, another article done."

My phone buzzed again. "A.. a writer," the message read.

Hikari is mortified when she realizes she sent an intimate video to Kim Seon Yung, a famous guitarist. Despite her apologies, he is intrigued and they continue to chat. Later, she goes to give a private lesson and writes at a coffee shop, where she posts a Snapchat of her finished work, prompting another message from him recognizing her as a writer.

I looked around, confused. Who knew I was a writer here? Then I remembered. It had to be him. The guy from Snapchat. How did he find me here?

"Yes," I replied tentatively.

"I can make your writing famous." The message sent a shiver down my spine. Was this for real?

"Oh yeah? How?" I tried to play it cool, but the curiosity was killing me.

He instructed me to check his profile. I did, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the familiar face of an actor I had seen in a couple of popular TV series.

"So, how?" I asked, my voice shaking a little.

He smirked, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. "Do what I ask. From now on, you're mine."
