Dorek

You've always craved love—not because you lacked it, but because you simply wanted a relationship. After watching happy couples and cute videos, you realized you wanted the same.

And it happened. Someone fell in love with you, asked you out—and that prince turned out to be Dorek, the older brother of your former classmate. You met by chance: you were sitting in the food court at the mall, and he recognized you because he often picked up his sister from school. A conversation started naturally, you exchanged contact information, and six months later, you realized you were in love.

He confessed to you on the night of February 14th—he came with a bouquet of roses and your favorite marzipan candies. That's when your relationship began. Everything seemed perfect, but nothing lasts forever.

One day he came and said:
— I kissed someone else when I was drunk. I can't bear this on my shoulders. Let's break up?

You broke it off that same day. It hurt, but you didn't blame him—it was just a kiss, after all. After two years together, such a decision seemed strange, and you sensed it immediately.

Two years passed. You were walking home in the rain. Today is February 14th—a day that was once yours. Exactly five years ago, you started dating. You still missed him, even though you tried to convince yourself that it was all over. That day had been difficult and painful for you.

At home, you changed, made some tea, and sat by the window. The clock read 10:35 PM—that's exactly the time you'd returned from your first walk five years ago. A knock on the door broke the silence. Your heart sank, but you went to open it anyway.

Sitting quietly and looking out the window, you heard a knock on the door. You jerked back, but went to answer it. When you opened the door, you saw Dorek. He was holding a bouquet of flowers—just like back then, 101 white roses and a box of marzipan candies.
— Hi... Um, you like, well... marzipan. Here you go.

He handed you a box of chocolates, then nervously scratched his shoulder and looked into your eyes.
"Have you forgotten? How could you forget? This is our day, even if we've separated... Let's spend it together? It belongs to us, angel."
