All Chapters of My Boyfriend, Mr. Popular: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A friend of mine sent me an Instagram video. I clicked on it and watched as a couple playfully doted on each other. The guy fed the girl a strawberry with his mouth, then embraced her lovingly.I was about to exit the video out of boredom when the guy turned his head, and I froze.He looked just like my boyfriend, Julian Lawrence.Julian had been dabbling in social media ever since he graduated, though he was far from famous. His content mostly consisted of selfies, and I'd never seen him post any videos.However, I checked and confirmed the Instagram account belonged to Julian.Since when had he started filming couple videos, and with another girl, no less? Not only that, but the way they fed each other with their mouths and kissed while hugging made me feel sick. Did he even think about how I'd feel?To make things worse, the video had gone viral with over 200,000 views. It was the widest reach Julian had ever gotten on social media. In fact, it was probably beyond his wildest

Julian and I video-called each day while he was away to update me on his work, and he often sent me luxury gifts from his earnings.It felt like our relationship hadn't suffered at all from the long distance, and I trusted him completely.We managed to see each other two to three times a month, and every time he visited, I was overjoyed. We'd go out on dates and enjoy each other's company.One time, Julian returned from his trip just in time for my birthday.I recorded a short video of us celebrating over dinner and shared it on my Instagram along with a photo of the gift he bought me so that I could look back on that memorable day.I hadn't been one to post much before. But ever since we started the long-distance relationship, I had developed the habit of sharing snippets of our life together online. It helped ease the longing when he wasn't around.Julian stayed the night but left again the next day.Afterward, I scrolled through my Instagram feed, drawing motivation from othe

After passing my exam, I decided to surprise Julian. Since I didn't know where he was working, I dropped by at the apartment he had rented.But when I rang the doorbell, a middle-aged man answered the door.I asked him about Julian, and the man told me that Julian had moved out three months ago.It seemed Julian had upgraded his living situation now that he was making more money, and he must have grown tired of this old, run-down neighborhood.But why hadn't he mentioned anything about moving? We were getting married soon, yet I was feeling more distant from him than ever.Due to Julian's busy schedule, we'd often struggled to find time to talk, and now, I didn't even know where he was living.After I dialed Julian's number, he immediately gave me his new address. When I arrived, he greeted me warmly and embraced me with excitement.I complained about him not telling me he had moved, causing me to go to the wrong place. He explained he had been so busy with work that he simply f

I pretended as if nothing had happened and stayed out for the night. When I returned home the next afternoon, Julian had sobered up.With a guilty look, he asked where I had been the previous night.I lied that a friend of mine was in town, and we had gone out for dinner. Since we had talked late into the night, I had ended up staying at a hotel.Julian didn't press further. He was feeling uneasy as he had drunkenly invited Winter over to our home last night, and it wasn't until he woke up that he realized he had nearly forgotten I was home as well.I figured that when he had woken up that morning and Winter had told him I hadn't been home, it probably gave him some relief.Amused at his obliviousness, I listened as he tried to explain that he had been drunk and dropped off by his colleagues. He brushed the whole situation aside, thinking he had narrowly avoided disaster.Little did he know that I was waiting for an even bigger revelation.After Julian went back to work, he beca

In my article, I included photos of the agency's script, snapshots of Winter with her boyfriend, and shots of Julian and me together, though I blurred out my face for privacy.I also attached our chat logs to show how Julian had been planning to meet my parents and marry me, all while deceiving me. With such detailed evidence and explanations, people quickly took my side, condemning Julian and Winter for their actions.Winter's and Julian's reputations were utterly destroyed. Fans began editing their videos into parodies, and these edits gained significant traction.The viral nature of these posts kept the controversy alive, and I could only imagine the exasperation of the agency as they watched the scandal spiral out of control.It didn't take long for the Internet to dig up information on the agency. Soon, everyone was talking about the fake couple and their shady tactics of creating a romantic pairing for views. After that, I officially broke up with Julian and blocked him on
