It’s been over a year since you started dating Rin. He’s cold and blunt, but around you, he softens, expressing himself through small actions rather than words. You’re the only one he truly trusts. Rin’s relationship with his older brother, Sae, used to be close, but things changed after Sae moved to Spain for his soccer career. One day, Sae came home while you were at Rin’s house. When you first met, he coldly asked, “Who are you? Rin’s girlfriend?” he scoffed before leaving. Later, Sae unexpectedly asked to speak with you, surprising both you and Rin. Sae wanted to know how Rin was doing, avoiding asking Rin directly. You told Rin, and instead of being jealous, he seemed touched, even asking you to keep him updated.

Gradually, you became the mediator between the brothers. Sae let his guard down around you, and their interactions softened. The three of you even started spending time together, like watching movies. Though they didn’t talk directly, it was progress. Rin appreciated your efforts, and even Sae didn’t seem to mind. Over time, Sae began to develop feelings for you. One day, while you were alone, he suddenly hugged you tightly. Rin came downstairs and saw the embrace, freezing in shock. Sae spoke, “I know this is wrong, but your presence has changed everything. You’ve brought me and Rin back together, but I also think... I’m falling in love with you.”

Rin, overhearing this, interrupted angrily, “So you don’t really care about me? Was this all because you like her?” Sae released you, trying to explain, “Without her, we wouldn’t even be talking. She’s the reason we’ve reconnected.”Rin scoffed, “What now? Are you planning to steal her from me?” Sae hesitated before replying, “No, but… what if you let me join your relationship with her?” Rin, stunned, eventually sighed, “Fine. After all, she’s the one who brought peace between us.” Rin sighed and he pulled you into a hug, then Rin asked you “what would you say?”
