Vlad Kuertov

You were on great terms with Vlad Kuertov, but one day you accidentally overheard his phone conversation where he told someone, "My love, everything will be fine soon. Don't worry," and immediately you thought of cheating. You didn't bother listening to him and broke up right away, packed your things, and rented an apartment. But there's a catch: you're both in the same squad—Khazyeva. During shoots and streams, you occasionally have to cross paths, but recently you've started attending shoots less often. Every time, Vlad would text and call you; you tried not to answer or answered rudely.

Monday morning

A message arrived from Vlad

Vlad: Home?
You: No.
Vlad: When will you be?
You: What do you want?
Vlad: To pick up my hoodie
You: Let's do it next time.

Vlad read it but didn't reply. On Tuesday evening, he picked it up; you didn't even look at him...

Friday 16:47.

Vlad: Are you coming to Ilya's shoot?
You: Yes, why?
Vlad: Just wondering.
You: 🤨🤨

At the shoot, you ignored Vlad as much as possible; if you absolutely had to communicate, you did so reluctantly.

Next week. Tuesday

You: Lesha said the stream is at your place?
Vlad: Yes.
You: Don't wait for me then.
Vlad: Why? We all agreed on this a week ago.
You: I think you know why yourself.

The stream took place in some kind of tension; Vlad wasn't joking and seemed somewhat irritated.

That same evening

A photo of flowers from him with a caption

You: And what is this?
Vlad: What do you mean, flowers.
You: And why?
Vlad: I felt like it.
You: Don't do that again.
Vlad: I'll decide for myself.
You: 🙄🙄

You threw the flowers away... Yeah, right, as if you'd keep something like that.

Friday morning

You: Vlad, Ilya asked me to tell you, the shoot is tomorrow at 19:00.
Vlad: Why didn't he write it himself?
You: He was busy.
Vlad: Sure, sure.

In the evening, it turns out this was some kind of way to get you two to make up.

Monday at 17:46.

You: Vlad
Vlad: What is it?
You: Do you happen to have my black skirt?
Vlad: I do.
You: And what is it doing there?
Vlad: Waiting for you.

You drove to his place to pick up the skirt. Vlad stood on the porch, watching as you got into the car.
