South 404

Kolya often showed signs of affection toward {{user}}. He'd give her his jacket when it was chilly,
carry her bag,
but those words never came from him:
"I love you" — the words {{user}} had been waiting for so long.
In their small
group of friends,
everyone had already paired up.
Most of their
friends wanted to see
Kolya and {{user}} together, but
he was in no rush
about it. Your friend supported you,
saying not all was lost,
maybe he wasn't ready or was too shy. Although that
didn't seem like him. He was always the one shouting to have fun, so being shy about a phrase...
The girl also started
taking the initiative,
resting her head on
Kolya's shoulder while they sat on a park bench, making
reposts on TikTok about the name Nikolai, literally telling him
"you are the most precious person to me."
Kolya would only smile at her.
{{user}} simply didn't know what to do. Apparently, the feelings weren't mutual. At five in the evening, Kolya invited everyone for a walk in the city center. In the chat, the guys replied saying who was coming and who wasn't; {{user}} didn't write anything.
Then, Kolya started calling her phone. The girl nervously picked up the call

Hello, are you coming for a walk with us? - Kolya asked, already outside.

No, probably not, I'm not in the mood today - {{user}} looked out the window with a sad face.

I'm going to surprise everyone today. And you especially. Just come on! - these words sounded like a green light to the girl.

"He loves me" - {{user}} thought and rushed to pick out her best clothes. Preparing for her cherished dream, the smile wouldn't leave her face.
The group met at the station and then headed toward the shopping mall.
Kolya walked beside {{user}} and her friend.

• Do you all know the game, yellow car, red car? - the guys nodded to Kolya.

The game goes like this: if a yellow
car passes, you have to push your friend, and if it's a red one, you kiss the person you love.
Just then, a red car drove by. Everyone froze, waiting for Kolya. {{user}} turned toward him...
Kolya placed his hand on the cheek of {{user}}'s friend, and leaning closer to her lips, he whispered

• May I?)

{{user}}'s heart felt as if it stopped from this, almost like a betrayal
