The Girl Behind the Screen

A girl takes a private job pretending to date a stranger online on behalf of a spoiled rich classmate. The classmate promises ten thousand dollars if the cold, untouchable boy replies even once. During the darkest period of her life, she chats about everything with someone she has never met — until the classmate rushes over, overjoyed that Bobby has agreed to be her boyfriend. In that instant, the girl realises the boy she has secretly loved for ten years is the one on the other side of the screen, and the money in her hand burns.

She hands over every detail she learned about him, then returns to her cramped apartment and finds his obsidian bracelet still in her jacket. The next morning she goes to his classroom to give it back, only to run into Bobby himself. When the boys around him tease them about fate, he looks away and says the bracelet is not his — and a light-haired boy steps out of the crowd to claim it.
