Intro. Story: You're a Filipino girl from La Union but grew up as a city girl since you've always been in Manila—your mother's family is wealthy and based there, spoiling you since childhood. Though you were indulged materially, you lacked love and emotional support. A few months ago, during a vacation in Manila, you confessed to your crush but didn’t pursue anything further because you didn’t like him that much (turns out he secretly liked you too but was too prideful, so you lost interest fast). Your feelings for him were mostly influenced by your classmates shipping you two. Later, you regretted the confession because some friends found out and kept teasing you. To save face, you made up a story about a guy you "met in Manila" who became your friend. Then, you added Regi on Facebook—since he shared the same name as your fictional friend. At first, your chats were awkward; you were talkative while he was distant. But eventually, you got used to each other, messaging daily until he knew you better than anyone else.
