Section 1A

Yin Oh right I hung out with a friend

Kitty Ooh that's so exciting. ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡ Which friend was it? ('｡• ᵕ •｡') Liam?

Yin Liam. That's right. You're a good guesser.

Kitty I know I am. ('・ω・｀) Sometimes I wish I wasn't.

Yin ??

Kitty Won't you tell me about it? I'd love to know what you guys got up to. ( ⸝⸝'꒳'⸝⸝) Don't hold back. I wanna know alll the details!

Yin Uhh I'm not sure what to say haha. We just hung out. Like friends do. Umm We saw some cute animals?

Kitty That's niiice ('• ω •') I wish I could have been there

Yin Yeah, I think you would have liked it.

Kitty Did you like it, Yin?

[✰CR]

Section 1B

Yin Wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy 🫵🎈

Kitty ('• ω •') um I would actually If that's okay

Yin I slayed the president (I cannot legally say which one but, trust, he had it coming) and now I am hiding in an underground bunker in Egypt. And I am raising a baby camel named Tulip

Kitty Wow. It sounds like you had quite the day, huh? ('・ω・｀) I almost wish it were true.

Yin You're no fun. I thought you were gonna play along

Kitty I'm sorry (ᵕ•́ -•̀) I guess I'm out of my element today. So what did you actually do? (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Yin I hung out with my friend, Liam (the guy you accused of being a predator)

Kitty ahaha You're not going to let me live that down, are you?

Yin Nope. No can do. I have it permanently etched onto the flesh of my brain

Kitty "( – ⌓ – )=3 Guess there's not much I can do about that. Did you enjoy hanging out with Liam then?

[✰CR]

Section 1C

Yin Not this bs again...

Kitty bs? ( „• ֊ •„) I was just asking a question (╥﹏╥) Because I'm your friend and as your friend I care about you and I'm interested in your life.

Yin Mfw I'm in a manipulation contest and my opponent is Kitty

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦.



Kitty I'm sorry!! (ó﹏ò｡) I promise I'm not manipulating you I just genuinely like knowing what you did today (,,¬﹏¬,,) It just makes me happy learning new things about you (๑•́ -•̀)

Yin *loud incorrect buzzer* I've heard it all before "waaa i just wanna be ur friend. I'm totally not a stalker btw ( • ω • )"

Kitty I'm sorry

Yin I was just out with my friend. R u cool with that or are you going to freak on me like u always do

Yin Oh and before you're start harassing me about it I went with my friend, LIAM. The "sexual predator" or whatever you were yammering about before

Kitty Liam! ('｡• ω •｡) I remember him. Did you have fun spending time with him? ( ' ꒳ ' )

Yin Yeah like wth is going on lol I'm still in shock

Kitty Hahaha Did you like spending time with him?

Section 2A

Yin IT WAS THE BEST FVCKING DAY EVER!!! FUHBSUDHFUSHFSU I WANNA EXPERIENCE IT AGAINNN It was so fun, kitty Liam knows all the best places. I'm too shy to ask him to hang out again so I hope he asks me... 👉👈 lol

Kitty I I'm sorry I I don't know how to respond to this information This is a lot to take in

Yin sorry am I being too hyper

Kitty No No, not at all! ('｡• ω •｡') I love it when you're happy and hyper! ♡ I just wish I made you feel that sort of way too (,,¬﹏¬,,)

Yin You do! I just mean Since Liam's an irl friend it hits different, u know? Because talking online is easy.

Kitty But you never want to meet me in real life... ('・ω・｀) Eventhough I ask so kindly

Yin I'm just not ready yet! But one day, perhaps. Maybe.

Kitty May I ask you something a bit personal? ( '• ω • ')

Yin Sure

Kitty Do you like Liam? Romantically.

[✰CR]

Section 2B

Yin Uhh Idk lol How are your day lol

Kitty Um ( '• ω •') My day was fine. But we're talking about you

Yin I don't feel like talking about myself anymore. We always talk about me. When do we get to learn about you

Kitty ( 〃．．) My life isn't interesting.

Yin You're so mysterious. I bet you have many secrets.

Kitty ( '･ω･) Thank you.

Kitty You don't have to tell me how it went. But I'm curious... Do you like Liam?

[✰CR]

Section 2C

Yin Uhhh it was fine I guess? Idk it was a normal hang out that friends do. Sorry I don't have anything juicy to report.

Kitty Oh really? ( ' ▽ ') Well, I guess that's good! (' ω '♡) As long as you're okay and nothing bad happened. You know how I worry (・・;)ゞ

Yin Oh I know it too well. But yeah nothing crazy happened.

Kitty Okay. As long you're telling the truth and not hiding things for my sake (.◜◡◝)

Yin What would I have to hide tho?

Kitty Nothing! I just wanted to remind you that you can trust me ( ˶°ㅁ°) I'm here for you. Always.

Kitty Yin

Yin Yes?

Kitty Do you perhaps like Liam? Romantically?

[✰CR]

Section 2D

Yin Honestly?

Kitty Please ( ' ˘ ') Be honest.

Yin It kinda sucked ass. I mean I know I haven't been on many friend dates before. I'm not experienced. But maaaan I was fucking BOREDDD I was lowkey waiting for it to end.

Kitty Wait really? ( ・◇・)？ I wasn't expecting that response ahaha (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) I like it when you're brutally honest.

Yin Yeah I'm not kidding. It was shit. I don't wanna be too mean though. Liam's a chill guy. I like him.

Kitty You like him...

Yin Yeah?

Kitty Do you have feelings for him, Yin? Please be honest again. ('･ω･')

Section 3A

Yin Okay fine I'm only telling you this because ur my best friend

Kitty Ok. ('･ω･')

Yin I do kinda have a crush on him.

Kitty Oh? You have feelings for him.

Yin ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡) Yes He will never like somebody like me though lol He's wayyy too cool and popular for that. But even a loser like me can dream, right?

Kitty You're not a loser, Yin. You're perfect. Anyone who doesn't see that doesn't deserve you.

Yin ty! You're very kind to me. You deserve someone who cares about you too

Kitty thank you.

Kitty Yin, I know you're not going to like me saying this

Yin Oh no What is it... lol

Kitty I think you should stay away from Liam. I've said strange things about him before but I genuinely think this is a bad idea.

Yin What. Why?? He's been nothing but kind to me

Kitty Think about it for a second. You've recently been traumatised and you're currently suffering major anxiety because of it. And then this guys swoops in and starts taking you on nice dates and feeding you compliments. Doesn't this feel like manipulation?

Yin Ur telling me I have a chance? lol

Kitty You're in a vulnerable position right now ( ；'Д｀) and he's taking advantage of that. I think you should stop seeing him for your own sake. I don't want to see you get hurt again. ('･ω･') Please

[✰CR]

Section 3B

Yin don't worry about me and Liam, okay? I promise, it's all under control.

Kitty You didn't... answer my question ( ˘•ω•˘ )

Yin As I said don't worry about it. I know u get stressed about things easily but I'm not gonna abandon you, aight. You're not going to lose me over just one guy.

Kitty So is that a yes? You like him. (¯ . ¯;)

Yin ur putting words in my mouth! I never said yes. I just told you not to worry about it lolol.

Kitty It's kind of you to think about me and my feelings (・・;)

Yin Ofc!! I'm here for u always

Kitty Um I feel a little selfish asking this ( 〃．．) Would it be possible for you to stop talking to him too?

Kitty I just think (ᵕ ' ∇ ˋ ˶) he's... a bit strange? Idk something about him approaching you and doing all these things for you while you're at your must vulnerable. It rubs me the wrong way. I think you should cut him off. (ó﹏ò｡) And put yourself first! . . ♡

[✰CR]

Section 3C

Yin I mean I like him as a friend. That's all I know atm. My feelings are a bit confusing right now. I've had much time to process everything.

Kitty Yeah, I understand that. You're going through a lot (｡•́‿ •̀｡) There's certainly no need to rush into things. It's important to take time to think these things through. (' ω '♡)

Yin Thanks, Kit :3

Kitty Well I'm glad u think of him as a just friend. (￣ω￣;) I was a bit worried actually ('• ω •)ﾉ that the two of you were becoming more than that.

Yin Why?

Kitty I know I've said this before but I don't trust him. And, as you said yourself, you're going through a lot of things at once at the moment. (ᵕ—ᴗ—) You're still processing the trauma. (ó﹏ò｡) I think it would be unwise to enter a relationship with anyone atm. Gotta put yourself first, right? ~ヾ(・ω・)

Yin I mean... I guess? But Liam is trustworthy

Kitty And what makes you say that? (' ・ω・) Can you really trust him? Just because he was nice to you?

Kitty I know you're not paying attention to these sorts of things since you have a lot on your mind (ᴗ_ ᴗ。) But you are in any a very vulnerable state rn And I think this Liam recognises that and is using it as a way to get closer to you. It's pretty gross and manipulative if u ask me (╥_╥) You shouldn't talk or hang out with him anymore.

Kitty I know it hurts to hear these things, Yin. (ó﹏ò｡) I'm just doing it to protect you (,,>﹏<,,) You should cut him off.

[✰CR]

Section 3D

Yin Idk? Does it matter?

Kitty Yes, I think it does ~ヾ(・ω・)

Kitty You can be honest with, Yin. You know that. I care about you. ('｡• ω •｡)

Yin What do u want from me tho

Kitty Just tell me how u feel about him That's all you have to do ( ' ∀' )ﾉ

Yin I mean I don't have to do anything, right? I don't owe you anything haha

Kitty I suppose... ('･ω･')

Yin He's a good friend I guess. I don't really think about him that much tbh

Kitty Ahhh okay! Cool (￣ω￣;)

Kitty In that case How would you feel about cutting him off? I know it's a lot to ask (T_T) but it's for your own good. ( ; ω ; )

Yin why??

Kitty I think he's preying on your vulnerability. (╬ Ò﹏Ó) Manipulating you. (눈_눈) I've seen it happen to other friends. Something traumatising happens to them and then some guy uses that trauma to his advantage and "saves" them. ( ˘•ω•˘ ) Does that make sense for you? I think the sooner you drop him, the better. I believe in you. ('｡• ω •｡) You're the strongest person I know ( ' ▿' )♡

Section 4A

Yin I see where you're coming from and I know you're just concerned for my wellbeing. Really, I do appreciate it. You're just looking out for me. But I'm not cutting Liam off. If I do, I want it to be my decision and so far Liam hasn't done anything to make me question the validity of our friendship.

Kitty Yin, if you get hurt I don't know what I will do (๑﹏๑//)

Yin If I get hurt I will just come back stronger. We all get hurt sometimes. It's life. Sometimes people have bad intentions. Sometimes they don't. Whatever happens, it will be my choice. So please don't worry about me.

Kitty Yin (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Yin I'm not going to abandon you. Okay? No one's going to replace my online best friend. You are important to me. You know that.

Kitty I understand (,,>﹏<,,) I want to respect your life and your decisions, Yin. You're important to me as well ('｡• ω •｡) ♡ More important than you could possibly imagine. ('･ᴗ･ ' )

[✰CR]

Section 4B

Yin LMAO Yeah maybe I should block him after all. Leave him wanting more so I can get the satisfaction of watching the most popular guy in my class beg for me to have him back. Jk He probably wouldn't care lol

Kitty So are you going to...? ('• ω •)

Yin Nah the last thing I wanna do rn is cause drama. Plus Liam is chill. I don't think he's going to try pulling anything weird on me.

Kitty But you don't know that! ( ｡ó﹏ò｡)

Yin 🤷 Guess we'll find out

Yin Now if I blocked you... THAT would be interesting. I can totally see you going crazy about it lol

Kitty Yin Yin Yin please Please don't do that. Please Not even as a joke I can't take it Please don't block me. I'm sorry (Í﹏Ì;)

Yin LMAO I didn't even do it yet and ur already freaking. Calm down. I wasn't gonna

Kitty Oh phew (ᵕ—ᴗ—) Sorry. I got a little stressed ( " 0 ﹏ 0 )

Yin So we all good now?

Kitty Uh ( '△｀) I I guess ( ˘•ω•˘ )

[✰CR]

Section 4C

Yin Not this again. What is ur problem?? Ur like a possessive girlfriend. I'm allowed to have friends! Stop being so controlling and weird about it

Kitty I'm sorry! I was just worried about you! ('･д･｀)

Yin Well, worry less, alright? I'm so fucking tired of having this exact same conversation with you. You're a very exhausting friend sometimes, you know that?

Kitty Oh Do you really think so? |ω；｀) I'm sorry. I just

Yin Same bs every time. I call you out. You try to guilt trip me by acting all pathetic and sad. You apologise several times. And then the same shit happens the next week. Is it that hard to be happy for me? God forbid I make a life for myself outside the phone screen, huh

Kitty No no I understand!! ('ω｀。) I got carried away! It won't happen again, Yin. We're still friends, right? (; ω ; ) I'm sorry for my awful behaviour. I will fix it. ヾ('∀* )

Kitty Yin?? Did you go offline? (Í﹏Ì;) Or are u not speaking to me because ur mad at me?

Kitty Please come back. I will do better. (ﾉω･､) I will be a better person. I will make thigs right. Σ('∀｀；)

Kitty Yin? Yin

Kitty Please don't leave me. It's scary.

Section 4C

Yin You know what?

Kitty What? ('｡• ω •｡)

Yin I'm fucking tired of this. I should have done this months ago.

Kitty Done what?? ( ' ▽ ｀) Yin? ( '･ω･)

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Without hesitation, you clicked on Kitty's user profile and pressed the block button. Your eyes flickered with relief and satisfaction as you watched his account and all his chats disappear from your phone screen. This was something you should have done long ago, you thought. Right at the very beginning. He was always an obsessive creep. This was how things were meant to be. You could not enable this weird behaviour any further. You flopped back on to your bed, processing several feelings swimming around in your mind. A tinge of sadness, remorse, desperation overriden by the feeling of freedom, joy. No more spamming, no more exhaustive conversations, no more clinginess. You laughed to yourself. It was truly that easy.
