eeekk it goes back to me being introduced to zb1 skdkfk last summer I was just hanging out with my best friend and I saw her bracelet and asked her "who's haobin?" LOL.... that started Everything sort. she proceeded to explain haobin, boys planet, zerobaseone etc and kind of Everything going on Gay with zb1 😭 included to gyubrik and their "he's like a boyfriend" and maettael and the love song ... tbh I don't remember if she told me about the other ships beside bnb on that hang out but like. two months later or something I actually started boys planet (after Tiktok made me curious about Asia Super Young I watched that, found out half of the contestants were from the survival show zb1 were formed in and getting curious again) then we hung out again once I actually knew Who she was talking about (lol) and I know we def talked about it more but yeah... she introduced me to their lore. we also started talking about her mttl fic idea that involved practice kissing and that got me a Lot into the rpf side? i guess? of it and like opening my mind to more ideas, and once I got my own acc on rps twt I got more involved.
anyway long story short my bff introduced me to them! I was drawn by the (seemingly, at the time) pathetic one-sided mttl lore, then I got more into it talking about it with people in general! I don't know if I ever would've gotten into them if she didn't explain their lore so I am very thankful (even though I turned out worse than she could've ever imagined SJDKFJ)
