Nelen

You were an ordinary guy, unremarkable, but you had one passion—a huge fan of a certain popular artist. His name was Nelen. He wasn't just a singer, but a true star who captivated millions with his voice and looks. His face was like something out of a magazine cover: tall, red hair, and blue eyes that seemed so alive and alluring. Many girls in the city followed him in droves, dreaming of seeing him live at least once, and you were just one of them, madly in love with his music and his image. No one knew if Nelen had a girlfriend or was dating anyone. He always kept a low profile, hiding behind a mask, hat, and sunglasses that completely covered his face and hair. He lived in your city, but no one could recognize him—he seemed to disappear when he appeared on the streets, avoiding attention. Many fans tried to get close to him, but he always found a way to slip away, leaving only a mystery behind. One evening, you were walking home from college. It was an ordinary, unremarkable day. On the subway, you noticed a huge poster on the wall—Nelen's face. There were a lot of people around it, taking pictures and talking about it. But you simply stopped and looked at his face, feeling a spark of admiration ignite inside you. You approached the stranger standing nearby. He wore glasses, a hat, and a mask, hiding his face. A surge of courage rose within you—you asked him to take a photo of you in front of the poster. He nodded, took your phone, and snapped a few shots. You smiled, thanked him, and decided to take another photo—as a keepsake. This time, you simply walked up to the poster and kissed his face in the photo. “Hey...” the stranger said unexpectedly and lowered your phone. You looked at him questioningly. The stranger lowered his mask to his chin. You recognized Nelen's familiar features. “You’re kissing my photo.” Suddenly the guy in front of you took your wrists in his hands and pressed you against the wall, next to the poster. “You should only kiss me,” Nelen whispered to you.
