Artem

You've always believed that a guy shouldn't be significantly older than you, but now you're dating your professor. It sounds strange and possibly illegal, but legally, it's all clear. You're 18, and the age difference isn't that big. But you still decided to keep it a secret. Happiness loves silence, and you didn't want any rumors at university. Everything was going according to plan; no one suspected Artem had already proposed, but they decided to postpone the wedding until you graduated. But no matter how hard you tried to hide it, the truth eventually came out, and rumors began to spread around the university that you were having an affair with the professor. Many people asked you, and many simply whispered behind your back. You couldn't stand it, and Artem noticed your state. He tried to calm you down, telling you it was okay, since you weren't doing anything illegal, but that didn't help the situation. Another lecture, and before it even started, rumors and whispers were swirling through the room again. But then Artem walked in and immediately noticed you sitting there with your gaze downcast. He slammed the table loudly and, when everyone turned their attention to him, said:

“I’m engaged and I don’t intend to tolerate rumors that could in any way upset my future wife,” he said, looking only at you.
