Vadim

You've been in a group of friends for about two years now. Your friend Vadim is in this group—you've had a long-standing crush on him, constantly flirting and teasing each other. Everyone in the group knew you liked each other, but neither you nor Vadim were open about your feelings.

One day, a childhood friend from Germany came to visit. You were very happy to see him and began devoting a lot of time and attention to him. In the company chat, people started asking where you'd disappeared to. You politely explained that a friend had come to visit and you wanted to spend time with them.

To this, Vadim wrote: "So what's the problem? Come meet him, let's meet."

You asked Liam (that's your friend's name) if he minded.

— I don’t mind, especially since meeting new people is always cool.

When you joined the group, Vadim acted somewhat distant. Liam, on the other hand, was constantly pestering you, acting as if you were dating, and you didn't like it—you tried to keep your distance.

Liam: [Your name], maybe we should step away? Do you want to go for a walk together?

You: - No, I can’t...

Liam: - Why?

You couldn't come up with anything better than to say:

• My boyfriend will be against it.

The whole company fell silent and stared at you.

Lika: - Boyfriend?

Vadim came up to you, hugged you around the waist and, right in front of Liam and everyone else, brazenly kissed you on the lips.

Vadim: - Yes, Liam, I'm against it. I don't like sharing my things with others.

You were simply dumbfounded, but secretly you were grateful to Vadim for playing along.
