Matvey

Matvey scrolled through TikTok without much interest—he was just passing the time, swiping after swiping, not remembering a single video.

Until it stopped.

The girl. A typical lip-sync, but something in her gaze caught my attention. No pretense, no attempt to impress—she simply stared calmly into the camera.

He watched the video again.

And he wrote in the comments:

"you are very beautiful"

Without unnecessary things.

A couple of hours later, he logged into the app again and saw the answer:

"Thank you :)"

Briefly. But for some reason it struck a deeper chord than he expected.

Matvey went to her profile, scrolled through the video... and returned to this message again.

It was possible to simply forget.

Scroll further, like everything else.

But he didn't.

I opened the dialogue, held my fingers over the screen and thought.

He didn't yet know what he would write.

But he had already decided that he would try to get to know...
