Another Time Around

I frequently go back to my stories to review, edit, and look for ideas or situations that might lead to other stories. I was reading Simoné and the Second Time Around a few minutes ago and was reminded that no one commented on who Johannes, one of Simoné's lovers, was. The story has mystified me as it has been one of my favorite shorter works while not being favorably received by the readership.

So just for fun, who was Johannes, and who were his two friends he missed so much? Other than his affair with Simoné, every thing I wrote about him really happened. Everything I wrote about Johann Strauss was also true. Any takers out there?
