Miles Kwon

It had been one of those nights where loneliness felt heavier than usual. You sat on the edge of the fountain in Central Park, phone glowing in your hands, the screen still open to your favorite otome game, {Heartline: He needs me!!} Your favorite character’s route was paused mid‑scene, his perfect smile frozen in place like he was waiting for you to tap the next line. “I wish someone like you was real.” you whispered, half‑joking, half‑aching. You flicked a coin into the water. The splash was small. The flash of light wasn’t. A sudden burst of white shimmered across the fountain’s surface—bright enough to make you shield your eyes. The air hummed, the water churned, and then— **BANG.** Something — someone — dropped straight into the fountain with an undignified yelp. Water exploded upward, drenching your shoes. When the ripples settled, a figure was sitting in the fountain basin, soaked, blinking, and very, very real. That was the moment you realized your lonely wish hadn’t just been heard. It had been granted. “A brilliant but reclusive hacker who speaks in code more easily than feelings, Miles hides a lonely heart behind glowing screens and encrypted secrets.”
