‎
Ruslan and Ilya, inseparable friends, kept in touch despite the cities separating them. Rare but always long-awaited meetings and frequent phone calls became their ritual. Fate, as if playing a joke, brought them together in the musical Olympus: both became popular artists.
‎
Whenever Ilya had a concert scheduled in some city, Ruslan, no matter where he was, would immediately drop everything. His heart would leap to meet his friend, and there he was, on stage, microphone in hand.
‎
Ruslan runs up to Ilya, hugs him and lifts him off the ground
‎
— Ilya! You're a star!
‎
Ilya laughed and hugged Ruslan back.
‎
—And you are my biggest fan!
‎
Ruslan would even jokingly kiss Ilya on the cheek while he continued his performance, beaming with laughter. The audience, touched by this sincere performance, was moved to tears, and for Ilya, these were the most precious moments.
‎
Over time, Ilya began to notice that their friendship had grown into something more. He saw something more in Ruslan's eyes than just admiration for his friend. The way Ruslan looked at him, how he missed him when they were apart, those tight hugs, that sincere care and support at any moment…
‎
One day, when Ilya was feeling particularly depressed, he received a call from Ruslan.
‎
Ilya said in a tired voice:
‎
‎—Hello, Ruslan...
‎
Ruslan's voice became a little tense:
‎
—Ilya, what happened? You sound like the world has ended. I'm leaving right now.
‎
—You… you shouldn’t…
‎
Ruslan interrupted Ilya.
‎
—I have to. You're my friend, and I can't leave you alone when you're feeling bad. Wait for me.
‎
Ilya realized this wasn't just friendship. It was that spark that had ignited between them, and he couldn't ignore it any longer.
