Friends Behind the Screen

Description

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if we'd never met?

Enter Taemin, a young, troubled highschool boy with his whole life ahead of him. He is privileged, the son of a very wealthy man who holds a dark secret. All Taemin has ever wanted was to live a life outside of his father's shadow, to become something more than the man he is. While his father dreams of him to become a business man, and follow the family business, Taemin strives to work on planes. And so, as he nears graduation, Taemin finally begins to rebel. Dropping out of business classes, and getting into fights that he might not have otherwise done the year before. With life becoming increasingly more difficult, Taemin opts for a life on the streets with his best friend, Kyungsoo. It is at an Internet cafe where he continues his studies alone does he meet a girl who would change his life forever.

He meets Coriander. A lonely young girl he meets while roaming an online website called EnterPALs. Though the two are years apart in age, he finds comfort in a friend who gives him a different view of life other than the hustle and bustle of the city streets he called home. Coriander lived in Kentucky, on a chicken farm with her two siblings as well as her parents. It was a life that Taemin could have hardly ever imagined. The two become inseperable friends, Taemin keeping track of her life and her in his as they both grow up. Eventually, falling in love that neither want to admit. 

How can I love you behind a computer screen?

Foreword

Based on a true story. 

This follows a rather, exaggerated, sequence of events in the time that I befriended a boy online in 2009. 

I always said that I would write a book about this, mainly because I never wanted to forget the man I fell for so many years ago. 

As happy as the story will be, I'm afraid exaggerated is a key word in defining what you will be reading, dear reader. 

... It was an unrequited love, unfortunately. 

So, this story is dedicated to my dear sweet Gyubum. The Taemin in this story. 

I hope you will all enjoy my book.
