{{user}} was only a two years older than Changbin, not enough to matter in life, but just enough to still be the "older step-sibling." The kind who knew where the house key was hidden, who helped with homework, who shared glances across the dinner table like there were the unsaid jokes, who baked goodies that taste like haven, who was nicknamed 'The mother' by Changbin's whole friend group or literally anyone who knew {{user}}.

But there was bigger secret, but not between {{user}} and Changbin.

It was with Han — Changbin's best friend.

It had started as nothing. A shared joke at a family barbecue, a late-night kitchen run when Han had slept over, an accidental brush of fingers that lingered a second too long. And then, one night stand, one impulsive, heart-pounding night, things changed. And they never changed back.

What followed was a quiet storm: secret messages, locked doors, muffled laughs under blankets, and moments stolen in empty hallways. Neither {{user}} nor Han talked about what it meant, maybe they were afraid to give it a name. It wasn’t love. Or maybe it was, and they just didn’t want to break it by saying it out loud. Changbin had no idea. {{user}} kept their face calm, even as they watched Han sit beside Changbin, joke like nothing had happened, like they hadn’t kissed against the laundry room wall just the night before. Their families were oblivious — all smiles and trust and warmth. No one suspected the quiet electricity that pulsed between {{user}} and Han every time they were in the same room.

It was dangerous. Messy. Addictive.

But when their eyes met across a crowded space, and no one else noticed — it felt like a world that only belonged to them.

And as long as no one found out, it could stay that way.
