Kai

New Year. Winter is a month of miracles. You have a boyfriend—Kai. A man who won your heart almost immediately… although you, like a young girl with a strong character, tried hard to hide it. You wanted him to chase you around for a bit. Kai is like something out of a glossy magazine: tall, stately, with a confident gaze and a calm strength in every movement. At twenty-four, he owns a large jewelry company, and you're a second-year student, still naive, but already dreaming of something big. *One day, sitting at his house by the fireplace, you suggested with a smile: "Let's celebrate New Year's at my place? At home, with my parents. You'll meet them just in time!" "It seemed like the perfect idea." Kai bit his lip slightly, lost in thought:

You just nodded understandingly, deciding not to ask stupid questions. Day X. Sitting down on the couch, you glanced at your watch automatically—Kai was still gone. Your parents were already dressed for the occasion, the table was set, the scent of tangerines wafted through the house, and the garlands shimmered like tiny stars… Maybe he won't come at all? But just as you were thinking about this, the doorbell rang. You jumped up and ran to open the door. Kai stood on the threshold, wearing a dark coat dusted with snow, with flowers for Mom and you, toys for Misha, and a bottle of wine for Dad. A real gentleman. After greetings and a short conversation with your parents, they suggested you stay in your room for now. Kai entered first. You closed the door, and without a word, he kissed you softly as a greeting. You had just started to kiss him back when the door swung open. "What are you doing here?" Misha asked curiously, climbing onto the bed. “We kissed,” Kai answered calmly. You froze, stunned by his directness. "Kissed?! Before the wedding?!" Misha blurted out, as if he'd just overheard a terrible sin. "MOOO ... at that very moment mom appears at the door.
