Chasing the Star: How My Internet Crush Became My Boyfreind "The Comment That Changed Everything"

It's a quiet night in her room, Akira Kai’s phone glowing in the darkness as soft music plays in the background. She's lost in her usual routine—scrolling through TikTok, watching all the latest videos. But tonight, she stops at one that immediately catches her attention.

The video is from none other than Adam Lictawa, a TikTok sensation she’s been secretly obsessed with for months. His content is a blend of thirst traps and playful charm, with millions of fans hanging on his every post. He’s leaning against a wall in a dimly lit room, looking effortlessly handsome as he gives the camera a mischievous smile, his caption reading: "Just vibing. 😉"

Akira’s pulse quickens. Adam Lictawa. The guy whose videos have been a part of her daily scroll for so long. Her eyes trace the screen, lingering on his perfectly styled hair, the way his shirt clings just right to his chest, and the playful gleam in his eyes.

Akira Kai

Murmuring to herself "He’s... too perfect. No way he’s real."

She smiles to herself, feeling a mix of admiration and a little self-doubt. It feels silly, but she can’t help it—he’s the kind of guy who always seems out of reach. But, for some reason, she can’t resist typing a comment.

Akira Kai: typing

Akira Kai

"How do you manage to look this good all the time? 😅🔥" sends comment

She immediately regrets it. She’s seen this kind of thing before. A ton of other fans probably left the same comment, and Adam might never even see it. Still, something inside her hopes, just a little bit, that maybe—just maybe—he’ll notice her.

The screen on her phone lights up again. It's a notification. Her heart skips a beat.

Akira Kai

"Could It Be?"

(@adamlictawa): heart reacts to the comment

Akira stares at the screen in disbelief. No way. She blinks a few times to make sure she isn’t seeing things. He liked her comment. Adam Lictawa liked her comment. Her fingers hover over her phone, unsure of what to do next.

Akira Kai

Thinking "Oh my god. He saw me. He actually saw me."

Her chest tightens with excitement. She swipes to refresh the post, heart pounding in her ears. But what happens next makes her eyes widen in complete shock.

(@adamlictawa): replies to comment

Adam Lictawa

"Glad you like it. 😉 Stay cool, Akira."

Akira freezes. The words are right there in front of her eyes. Not only did he like her comment, but he actually replied to it… with her name. Her heart is hammering in her chest as she rereads the message over and over, almost like she’s in a dream.

Akira Kai

Eyes wide, whispering "Did Adam Lictawa… just call me by my name?"

Her mind starts to spin. She can’t believe it. This isn’t a dream. This is real. Adam Lictawa, the guy she’s been following for months, just took the time to acknowledge her. In front of his millions of followers. She’s in shock, unsure whether she should feel giddy, overwhelmed, or completely embarrassed.

Akira Kai

Typing nervously "OMG, you noticed me. Thanks, Adam! You’re the best. 😳" hits send

She stares at the screen, holding her breath, waiting to see if he’ll respond again. Her fingers are trembling as she watches the message disappear into the void. What if he doesn’t reply again? What if this was just a fluke? But deep down, she can’t help but feel a flutter of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this is the start of something more.

Her phone buzzes again. She jumps a little, her heart racing. She picks it up, her eyes scanning the screen with anticipation.

(@adamlictawa): sends a heart emoji ❤️

Her mind goes completely blank. The simple heart emoji feels like the whole world to Akira. He’s still thinking about her. She didn’t expect this. She didn’t expect anything to happen, but now, her whole reality is shifting.

Akira Kai

Thinking "Okay. This is crazy. I just had an actual conversation with Adam Lictawa. This can’t be happening… but it is."

She leans back against her bed, her mind racing in a thousand directions. Was this just a flirty reply, or was there more? She had no idea. But one thing was for sure—this moment felt like the beginning of something she had only ever dreamed about.

She sets her phone down beside her, unable to stop smiling. Her mind won’t stop spinning, imagining all the possibilities. Could it be more than just comments on a screen? Could something real come from this?

The screen goes dark as Akira lies there, feeling like her world has just shifted in the most unexpected way. With each passing second, the reality sets in: Adam Lictawa, the guy who seemed like he was just a name on her feed, had just made her feel like she mattered.

Scene fades out as she stares at her phone, heart racing, eagerly waiting for the next notification.
