Recently I was talking to a boy but he is younger than me. Two years old. We are having a really good relationship but because of the coronavirus he cannot come to China and I cannot go to Korea. But last time he was saying he was trying his best to come ASAP to see me. And then he didn’t talk to me for two days I don’t know why. The last sentence I sent is “I miss you baby” but he is a rapper and he sleeps at morning. He sleeps at when I’m waking up. And then he just don’t talk to me anymore. It’s weired because every morning and night he sends good morning and good night to me. My girlfriend said I cannot send him a message in one week. I don’t think he purposed to do it. I’m worried about him. He didn’t read my stories or look at my instagram.
