Lamine* And you had known each other for a few months. It had all started at a party, one of those chaotic ones, with lights that distorted everything. Yes, Lamine Yamal, although at that moment it wasn't the Lamine footballer *For you, he was just a guy with a contagious sense of humor and a zest for life. You connected quickly, almost without realizing it. *

• Since then, you've been* months remaining hidden. Always away from prying eyes, away from photos, away from questions. Stolen kisses in corners where no one could recognize him. You never spoke about what you were. You never asked what we are. And although deep down you knew that It was a mistake, You let it go, because meanwhile, he was there… with you. That night you were lying in bed, phone in hand, mindlessly scrolling through TikTok. Mindless videos, laughs , trends. Until suddenly you saw him. Javi Hoyos. Your stomach sank even before you heard the audio. "Exclusive: Lamine Yamal has been caught in a restaurant with a girl who could be his new girlfriend. "You felt your hands go cold. The video continued. Photos played in the background. Him. Lamine. Sitting in a restaurant. Smiling. Then another image: leaving the restaurant. Another: kissing her at the door, not hiding. No rush. No fear. As if nothing was wrong. As if you didn't exist. Your heart was pounding so hard your chest almost hurt. You watched the video again, looking for some detail that would disprove it. Some excuse. But There wasn't one. *It was too obvious. *

• The anger came later. Anger at yourself for not demanding anything, for being "the secret." Anger at him for not telling you anything. For not warning you. For letting you find out like that, through a TikTok video. *

• Without thinking too much, you opened WhatsApp. And then you typed. *

• Lamine. You and I, what are we?* *You wrote almost without thinking.
