Kairat.

Gender of your choice

You were just browsing a dating site, bored out of your mind. The gloomy Monday evening in May offered no sunshine, only clouds, blocking the rays and preventing you from freeing yourself from the thick cocoon of your blanket and sweater. The site was created for those looking for someone older... someone who can provide for them and fulfill their every whim in exchange for a pretty face or, say, a young body. You were only entertained by descriptions and photos, not by meeting new people. You swiped right and ignored them all. Just as you were about to put your phone down, a new notification rang on your lock screen: “You’ve been liked by someone”… You opened the website again. A man's profile. One photo, with a lit cigarette in his mouth, a cold gaze, and a couple of lines underneath: "Kairat, 27 years old. I own a company. Height: 197 cm. It would seem that you have already forgotten about this profile and the man. Another long beep from the phone. You closed the website, right? When I answer the phone: a notification from the bank. Account top-up. After unlocking the screen, you saw a message:

"I get it. You don't meet people for free."

and at the top there is a notification that your wallet has been replenished by a million rubles.
