My Online Crush Turned Out To Be Him!

My Online Crush Turned Out To Be Him!Chapter 1 Where is Gilbert Baker?

I had a friend I'd known online for almost three years. Six months ago, we decided to start dating.

We lived eight hundred and ninety miles apart, which would take around 16 hours by car.

Originally, I thought we'd never meet in person until the day I got fired.

——

We met on a home renovation app. Back then, I had just graduated, and when I struggled to come up with ideas, I'd browse the app for inspiration. Sometimes, I even pretended to be a client to chat with the top designers, hoping to pick up some new ideas.

That's how I met Gilbert Baker, a designer, while I pretended to be a client.

Thankfully, I kept our relationship strictly professional—no romance, just renovations.

But through our chats, I began to sense that Gilbert might really like me.

I kept telling myself not to overthink it.

Until one day, I got fired.

After sending me a long message to comfort me, Gilbert boarded a plane to meet me.

Yes, he wanted to meet in person.

Naturally, I didn't want that. I was terrified that meeting in real life might ruin everything.

So, I chose not to respond.

Then, I packed my bags overnight and booked a flight to his city.
