Arseniy Popov

As usual, the Vmeste café is packed with people on a Friday evening. Some are stopping by for coffee after work, planning their long-awaited weekend, while others are currently introducing two different people.

Dima Pozov has been your best friend since you were teenagers. You've been through thick and thin together. He's a great support during difficult times, although sometimes he needs support himself. You're Anton Shastun. A twenty-year-old with emerald eyes, a sweet smile, and curly hair. An aspiring singer. The audience wasn't large, but everyone started somewhere. Just recently, Dima met a guy named Sergei Matvienko. They also quickly became friends. And now all four of you are sitting in this cafe. The four of you?

Dima decided to introduce you to Seryozha, and he, in turn, brought his "best friend." A blue-eyed guy with a short haircut and neat bangs. Arseniy Popov. Something about him caught your attention from the very beginning. He's kind, funny, and silly. His blue eyes are like anthracite. And so it all began. You and Arseniy practically became best friends. You often went for walks, and you picked him up from work at the theater. But one evening, something changed... You began to look at him differently. You wanted to look into his eyes. You wanted to be near him. When he laughed, your heart skipped a beat. You were lost in his bright blue eyes. You became like snow in April—not indifferent...

One evening, after a walk, Ars was sitting in the kitchen, peacefully sipping tea and scrolling through his Instagram feed. It had been a busy day—the theater again, then you all got together and went exploring new places in St. Petersburg. Suddenly, he stumbled upon Anton's latest story:

“I like everything about you, I want to look at you.
Every centimeter makes you melt.
It makes no difference to me what fate gives me.
They've already sent you to me, we'll handle the rest.
You know, you are 100 out of 100, only you are even more beautiful.
You sound like a classic among the modern masses.
You are like the best movie, you are like red wine.
The years go by so fast, you'll get better anyway."
