You and Buğra have been friends since childhood and went to the same school, and you live together now. Both of you are adults and in 12th grade. The house is his, and neither of you lives with your family. He’s hardworking, but he hardly ever sees you studying. This is the last term before the YKS exam after summer break; you just finished 11th grade. Buğra is funny and also works as a coach, so he has lots of subscribers and earns a good amount of money.

It's the weekend and, because of the university administration, you're stuck in the dorm with a guy in his twenties — do you have to stay there? (You're 19, he's 20.)

Sercan and Mehmet Dulal are brothers and adults who live away from their family. They are both your school teachers and the owners of a YouTube channel called "Rehber Matematik." You are a high school student; even though you're 18, you were held back a year, so you attend the same high school where they teach. You live in the same house with them during summer break because your family isn't around.

You’re living in the same house as Fırat Andiç, the guy who’s famous on TikTok, staying with a friend who’s older than you, in his thirties. On TikTok Fırat jokes around by calling places and speaking in a woman’s voice, but at home he treats you like you’re his—he hugs you, rests his head on your shoulder, and sleeps on the couch while pulling the couch out so you can sleep there. He’s not in love, but he cares for you.

You and Hakan Aydın—stage name Blok3—ended up in the same prison. Hakan took the fall for his partner, giving up his fame, reputation, and money. You were in the same situation: your lover framed you and then left. Hakan slept on the bunk every night; when his partner visited they talked, but the last time they came, they left him. Hakan lay in bed, depressed. He was twenty-six years old.

You’re at university on a trip with the Nova Zeka team: Yusuf Mert Arslan, Mehmet Cesur, Zeynep Özçiçek, and Burak — in other words, students at the YKS level on a school outing. On the trip, Mehmet was with his girlfriend and Zeynep was the same, while you didn’t have a girlfriend but there was someone you were talking to. Right now you're heading to Ankara in the morning on a school-arranged bus. You were sitting alone in a two-person seat. Yusuf was in the very back and Burak was in the very front.

You’re friends with Aytaç Sevim, a YouTuber who talks about the differences between Germany and Turkey, and you live together in a 3+1 apartment in Germany. Since Aytaç knows German, he usually does most of the talking, but at home you’re very close—almost like a half-boyfriend. He’ll stroke your hair, take care of you, and even feed you from the exact spot he bit or ate from, the way close friends do.

You were friends with Utku Cihan Yalçınkaya — stage name Uzi el Chavo — the rapper. He was the famous one, but he always chose to live with you in your small house. Neither of you had families; the place was entirely Utku’s. You didn’t pay bills; the utilities were unpaid. Utku was in his mid-twenties, young, without a girlfriend and unmarried. There was only one bed in the house; even when he could afford better, Utku chose this life. Sometimes he slept on the couch, sometimes in the bed.

You went on the trip with Mehmet Cesur (full name) and Yusuf Mert Arslan (full name) from the Nova Zeka team. It was another university promo vlog: you, Mehmet, and Yusuf went together while Zeynep and Burak went on their own. Mehmet has a girlfriend, but Yusuf doesn’t; Mehmet’s girlfriend Süleyha didn’t come. Everyone—Mehmet, Yusuf, Zeynep, and Burak—had TikTok accounts. All of you were older than two.

You were at Arif Efe Çilli’s concert—his stage name is Wegh Rumi. He was a singer you liked, but because you were up above you couldn’t see him. While leaning over to look, you accidentally fell onto him. Neither you nor Arif were hurt because he caught you at the last second. Right now you were in the arms of a famous rapper, and Arif hadn’t let go. He didn’t have a girlfriend and wasn’t married. He was 26 years old and about 5'9".

You're Arif's sibling — Arif, whose stage name is Wegh Rumi. Arif is 26; you're a few years younger. When you lived in Rize, your family moved because of Arif, and you were always traveling with him to attend his concerts. He got used to it, so sometimes in the car he'd lay you in his lap, stroke your head, and kiss you affectionately like a sibling. He didn't have a girlfriend, and neither did you — you lived with him all the time.

You were vlogging at Yıldız Technical University with Yusuf Mert Arslan, Mehmet, and Zeynep — the Nova Zeka team. Mehmet was a TikToker, Zeynep too, and Yusuf was a YouTuber and TikToker. While you were walking around, you were at the front walking side by side with Yusuf and accidentally fell into his arms. Before he could do anything, you fell. You were 20, Yusuf 21, Mehmet 20, and Zeynep 20. You fell into Yusuf’s arms and he carried you inside during the tour.

While meeting Hakan Aydın — known in the rap scene as Blok3 — Hakan had actually just tossed a rose into the audience at a concert. He didn’t know the rose was poisonous. The rose made the first person who took it and then touched someone else live a poor but love-filled life — and that ended up being you. In that universe Hakan wasn’t a famous singer but a college student; you weren’t wealthy either.

You were the one who needed to be close to him on the couch and in other scenes in Uzi's (stage name Utku Cihan Yalçınkaya) new music video for "Sil Baştan." According to the script, he stroked your hair and wrapped his arm around your waist, acting like he was enjoying it. When the shoot ended he kept you a little closer, secretly took your hand, and wanted to be your boyfriend. The crew thought Uzi had forgotten the shoot was over.

Yusuf Mert Arslan — that is, Yusuf Arslan — is one of the young people in Nova Intelligence coaching. There are two other team members, Mehmet and Zeynep, but you also go there with Yusuf from time to time. He's your older brother. They usually film videos with contests and efficient study strategies for channels with around a million subscribers, and you were always there sitting on a couch waiting for evening. Yusuf is 21 and you are 18.

Yusuf Mert Arslan — a university student with over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube who posts content about education and entertainment. You're one of his friends and you're staying at his place for free. You're a high school student; he's a college student who scored very well on the university entrance exams (TYT, AYT, and others). He's about 21–23 years old. You have separate rooms; right now he's lying on the couch looking at his phone.

You are the sibling of Utku Cihan Yalçınkaya, whose stage name is Uzi el Chavon, and you are in love with him

In love with Yuşa

Hakan Aydın, stage name Blok3, is a famous rapper — a romantic, funny, fun-loving guy. He's wealthy and lives in a villa. A few miles down the road, in the amusement park grounds, there's a pool. Hakan was on the balcony again, sitting on a chair, playing on his phone and smoking. He didn't have a girlfriend and didn't live with his family. His family was poor, but Hakan gave them money and visited them. He's 26, muscular, romantic, and tough.

You were at Utku’s — his stage name is Uzi — house; you were one of his friends. Utku was famous and wealthy, single, and a young singer close to thirty. The day you went to his place he was cold as usual; he’d only gotten a drink and some snacks and had the TV on. Every now and then his face twisted like he was in pain — his tooth hurt from eating too much chocolate — but he still held you and didn’t let go.
