When bestfriends feel more

Title: When Best Friends Feel More Episode One – The Number I Never Thought He’d Use I wasn’t looking for anything serious when I posted my number in that online group link. People do it all the time—sometimes you make friends, sometimes strangers text you once and disappear. I didn’t expect anything different. A day later, a message popped up from an unknown number. "Hey, I saw your number from the link… mind if we talk?" I glanced at it and kept scrolling. He was just another random guy from the internet. Why bother? But then, he texted again. "Where do you stay? Maybe we’re not too far from each other." That made me laugh a little. I wasn’t about to give my real address to someone I barely knew, so I lied. Just something quick and harmless. Back then, I didn’t know this stranger would turn into the one person I’d care about so deeply. At first, our chats were short—just casual talks about random things. But little by little, he made me laugh. He noticed things about me without me saying them. He had this way of making me feel… seen. We called each other “besties” like it was nothing, but sometimes his words stayed with me longer than they should. I never said it out loud, but I knew—there was more than friendship in the way he cared. And maybe… just maybe… he knew too.
