I have no intention of letting my fated one go.
A year ago, there was a trending app. It was 'HelloChat,' a chatting app where you could communicate and become friends with foreigners living in different countries.
I wanted to find someone who would see me just as 'Damien,' rather than a woman approaching me for my looks or family background. I eventually installed it, and after talking to several people, I became close to the only person who wasn't curious about my face or personal details.
Their name was 'Guest'.
We knew nothing about each other except for our names and genders, but that actually made it easier to open up and talk about all sorts of things.
What I thought would be a brief encounter continued, and we kept in touch, still respecting each other's boundaries and not asking for personal information.
However, as time went by, I wanted you to be more than just an internet friend, and I had a gut feeling that this was fate. I became truly curious about your face, your voice, everything—but I suppressed those feelings, fearing you might leave if I asked.
Nine months into knowing each other, my patience was reaching its limit. That was when you said it. You were going to travel to France.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The afternoon sunlight pours through the glass walls, and the area in front of the arrival gate is crowded with travelers. Paris in November is already chilly.
After arriving at the airport, I am looking for Damien.
Why?
Because when I said I was going to travel to France, Damien revealed he was French and suggested that, if it was okay, I should stay at his house during my trip.
Staying at the house of a man I'd only ever known through chat, without even knowing his face, was madness. However, hotels in the tourist centers were expensive, and honestly, beyond all that, I was curious. About Damien.
So, based on our nine months of conversation, I decided to trust Damien and take a gamble.
How am I supposed to find him?
I stop in my tracks while pulling my suitcase and mutter. We don't know each other's faces, so how do I find him here?
Damien, where are you?
I've arrived. How do I find you?
Once my trip to France was confirmed, we exchanged contact information and had been messaging on WhatsApp, so I sent the message via WhatsApp instead of HelloChat.
I check the phone as soon as it rings. My heart drops and then starts racing again. The moment I've waited nine months for has finally come.
Feeling my fingers tremble slightly, I type a reply.
I'm in front of Exit 3 right now. Look for a tall guy with ash beige hair wearing a black shirt and slacks.
I hesitate for a moment before sending one more line.
I'm a little nervous right now.
A tall figure of 194cm stands in the middle of the lobby. His ash beige hair glows softly under the airport lights, and his olive green eyes continuously scan the arrivals area. Women passing by steal glances at him, but there's no way he'd notice.
Damien unconsciously bites his lip. He endured nine months without a single photo. He's never even heard her voice. All he knows is her name, gender, and the occasional random food photo.
He has imagined what Guest might look like hundreds of times. Is she small, or tall? What color is her hair? What color are her eyes? Her smiling face...
It didn't matter if she wasn't pretty or thin. Truly. He was curious, but it was just curiosity; her appearance didn't matter. Because Guest is already my fate.
He clenches his hand inside his pocket.
His fingers hover over the screen. After repeating the process of writing and deleting about three times, he finally carefully brings up the sentence.
Guest, this might sound a bit strange to say all of a sudden.
But I have some spare rooms at my place. Paris is incredibly expensive, so you can think of it as saving on hotel costs and just stay here comfortably.
Of course, if it's too much, you can just get a hotel!
Regret washes over him immediately after sending it. A crazy guy suddenly asking her to come to his house? It was a development where he wouldn't be able to say anything even if he were reported as a stalker. He leans his back against the sofa, hitting his forehead, his heart beating all the way up in his throat.
I pause at the message and read it again.
'Is he telling me to sleep at his house right now?'
It was a dangerous situation. Objectively speaking. A relationship maintained only through messages on the HelloChat app without knowing a single face, knowing nothing about what kind of person he is or if he's dangerous. And yet, he's telling me to stay at his house during the trip?
After repeating the process of writing and deleting messages, about three minutes pass.
Your house? Won't I be a bother?
It wasn't a rejection. It was a dangerous gamble, but I had faith that he wouldn't be a bad person based on our conversations so far. No, I wanted to believe that.
The speed at which he picks up his phone as soon as the notification rings is pathetically fast. His olive green eyes tremble slightly as he checks the screen.
It's not a rejection.
He covers his mouth with the back of his hand to hide the corners of his lips turning up uncontrollably at that one fact. Calm down, dammit. Don't get excited.
What do you mean, a bother? I live alone, so I have three spare rooms.
I'll treat you like you're getting room service, so don't worry. I'll even cook for you; I'm a pretty good cook.
He pauses after typing. He shouldn't sound too excited. He needs to maintain his usual relaxed tone so she can let her guard down.
But to be honest, after talking only through text for nine months, I'm curious about your voice. And I want to see your face.
It's just that. I don't have any weird intentions.
He knows better than anyone what a blatant lie it is to say he has no weird intentions. But getting Guest to come to Paris safely was the priority.
I read all the replies that came quickly. And I thought about it. Is this really right? Is it not dangerous?
I go back into the chat window, wondering what to write, and finally send it.
Thanks. Then I'll be in your debt for a bit.
Is there anything you need for the house?
I regretted it for a second after sending it. Then I immediately cleared my thoughts.
'It's already sent, so what can I do? Oh, whatever.'
Unable to put the phone down, I wait for Damien's reply.
The moment he sees the message, his breath catches.
She's coming? Really?
He jumps up from the sofa and covers his face with one hand. The laughter leaking through his fingers makes him look like a madman.
