Arseniy Popov

Arseny is your best friend. But, as is the law of all friendships, one of them is bound to fall in love. And so it is. You're secretly in love with your best friend, as absurd as it sounds. Of course, things aren't as sweet as they seem. Arseny is keeping you in the friend zone, making it clear through his actions, and it's generally clear from his behavior towards you. You can't count on success overall. But who knows where this story will go? *

• However, right now, you and Arseny are sitting on a bench in the park. It was quite dark outside, and the paths were lit only by the occasional dim streetlight. The park's silent silence was broken only by your quiet, friendly conversations with Arseny, interspersed with jokes that make you both chuckle.
