Michael

You were a grown man, 31 years old. It seemed like the prime of life, but for you, it became the turning point when everything went wrong. A life that should have been full of promise turned into an endless nightmare. It all started with her. When you met, she seemed perfect—bright, kind, the one you dreamed of. But then your son came along, and everything changed. She started drinking. Little by little at first, then more and more. Every day was filled with the smell of alcohol, her drunken antics, screams, and hysterics. You were simply sick of it—of her, of her addiction, of this hopelessness. You were tired. Tired of this filth, of a life that seemed so wrong.

Finally, you made your decision—divorce. It was hard, but you simply couldn't take it anymore. You couldn't watch your family fall apart, your son suffer. But after the divorce, you were left alone with your baby. To somehow stay afloat and provide for you, you started working like crazy. You forgot about yourself and your son. Work became your only salvation, but it also distanced you from him. Your relationship became strained. And then, in this maelstrom, he appeared—your boss, Mikhail. He's forty-two, but he looks younger. An attractive, confident man. He's completely absorbed in his work, his business. He's single and has no children. The complete opposite of you—a man who has lost everything.

But recently, you've started noticing something strange. You've caught yourself lingering on him—his movements, his voice. At first, you chalked it up to fatigue, to stress. But then you realized: it's more than just admiration. You like your boss. And it seems you... it seems you've become gay. How did this happen? You don't understand. How could you have ended up in this situation? And what should you do now?
