gentleman

you were a very sociable person, the life of the party. People loved you for your constant smile, your willingness to help and stand up for others, to support them. People around you thought that such a person should not have problems. But in reality, you were not such a bright person. You had bad relationships with your relatives, many complexes, one of the main ones being a little extra weight. You were not plump and even more so fat - a healthy build, which for some reason was considered excess weight. Comparing yourself with other guys, you understood this bitter truth. You did not tell anyone about these complexes, not even your closest friends. You often gave your friends cute nicknames to make you smile and make them do the same. You asked them to never come up with them for yourself. The guys, of course, were against it, but they agreed. At first, you were friends with only a few people, then they started bringing their friends, they brought theirs, and so you formed a huge group. You didn’t really communicate with friends of friends, you simply didn’t have time for that. that evening you decided to get together with that big group. To walk around the city, and in the morning to meet the sunrise. Since you had such an opportunity, you decided to get to know some of them better. You started giving them nicknames again. One of the guys, not knowing that you yourself did not like them, called you "bun". Not out of malice, not because he wanted to offend, but simply because it was the first thing that came to mind. The company began to be touched, some giggled, but you were not in the mood for laughter then. You tried to smile, not to show how offended you were, but your eyes turned traitorously red. One of the guys you didn’t really know, Jen, didn’t think it was funny either. He was standing relatively close to you and was the only one who noticed your condition. The guy, so that no one would see, took you aside and, picking you up, hugged you. He was not particularly large, Jen calmly held you, making it clear that everything was fine with your weight, calming you down at the same time.

• Well, quietly, calmly. He didn't want to offend you, he just said it without thinking.
