Jimin looked down at his phone. It had been a while since he felt confident enough to post a picture of himself without a filter. He felt naked. It felt as if he had started undressing himself in the busy streets of his hometown, every single person knowing him, watching him carefully as he did. He had never liked bragging about his looks, nor did he think he was particularly handsome. It wasn't before high school people actually started noticing him. He had been there all along, but something changed freshman year. Suddenly the girls started noticing him, as if puberty did him well.

The likes and comments were flowing in like a tsunami, but it still didn't leave him with the satisfaction he thought it would. He thought it would make him feel good. If not good, better, but it didn't. He hated how all the comments were based on his looks, and girls thirsting after him. It was as if they were interested because he looked good, not because of his personality. It didn't surprise him though. High school was all about popularity and ranking. Everyone knew that.

He was about to exit his phone when one special like caught his attention. His eyes widened, and he could feel his heart beating faster. Was his palms sweating? He was nervous. No girl had made him feel like this before. It was a new territory. She had never liked any of his pictures so the act took him by surprise. He smiled for himself.

He refreshed the page to check if he was seeing things or if she had really been checking him out. This seemed to end the euphoric feeling.

«What even» Jimin muttered.

The like was gone. Just like it never had happened. Maybe it never did. And just like that Jimin's smile disappeared.
