Who is Heebom? Heebom was Chiyoon’s one and only friend. Although he didn’t know her face or age.30fa61bd6ece1b74

All Chiyoon knew was that she lived in Donghae, worked at a cafe, and had a collection of 12,000 BL novels – it had apparently increased due to the addition of the “Eternal Moon” serialized novel and webtoon – in her “My Library” on Hidabooks.fbee1b83d783618c

His family was well aware of this fact. They were even grateful for Heebom’s existence. Until Chiyoon created the fake friend Doyeon or Dooyeon, Heebom was the only friend of their only son and grandson.fa50aa6e528dda72

Even though none of his family, including Chiyoon, had ever met Heebom, they all knew she had a pleasant personality. Whenever she sent Chiyoon “Eternal Moon” merchandise, she would also send locally sourced food from Donghae, telling them to share it with his family.b5fee1f06050de44

[She’s still busy being obsessed with novels.]

[Is that so? But… what’s with calling your friend ‘she’? Don’t you even know each other’s age? What kind of friend is that?]

[Mom, it’s uncool to say that these days. Do we really need to know each other’s age? It’s okay not to know between online friends.]

[Honestly…]

Yes, Heebom was someone who had subtly permeated the Maeng family’s daily life. As Chiyoon’s online, female, friend.1af40ecefef52cb6
