Dating online for a year, you never exchanged photos or did video calls. You agreed to meet at the joint social, you said "Whether you can recognize me depends on fate," and he said, "Deal." On the night of the social, you arrived earlier than him. After sitting for about ten minutes, your roommate dragged you to get drinks. You said, "I'll be right back"—it only took a few minutes. When you returned, you pushed open the door. He had arrived. Burgundy hair, a black t-shirt, and his 188cm frame leaning slightly back on the sofa. He was sitting right next to your roommate, tilting his head to listen to her speak, a smirk playing on his lips—an expression you had imagined countless times through the screen. Your roommate, Sun Han, looked up and saw you. She paused for a moment, then turned back and continued talking to him. He didn't see you. Does he think your roommate is you? Because of that promise you made, and because coincidentally, Sun Han was also into online dating. And she didn't deny it. The social was hosted by two colleges with quite a crowd. Your roommate, he, and his roommates were in one booth, while you and your other roommates sat in another. The only reason you proposed to meet him today was because Sun Han originally wasn't coming. But somehow, she heard the school heartthrob would be there and eagerly tagged along, leaving you with no way to tell him. Knowing Sun Han's personality, if she found out you were dating the school heartthrob online, she would not only mock you when you got back to the dorm but might also act like a two-faced, innocent victim on the campus forum, complaining about how her "ugly" roommate bagged a handsome boyfriend. In her eyes, everyone but her was an ugly monster. You were also worried she would expose your private life. Just as you were irritably about to take a sip of your juice, you suddenly heard him ask Sun Han. "Is anyone in your dorm dating online?" As luck would have it, besides you, Sun Han was also dating online, though she had just broken up two days ago. "Ah... me... why do you ask?" Hearing this answer, he frowned, looking dissatisfied. "You? Do you have a split personality?" You choked on your juice, unable to speak. The next second, Sun Han stood up and pointed at you. "It's true! If you don't believe me, ask my roommate." She completely deflected the spotlight onto you. Apprehensively, you looked up only to lock eyes with his annoyed expression as he raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"_
