Yoichi wasn’t your real brother—you two didn’t share the same blood—but that was a secret only he knew. You had always assumed he was your biological sibling, completely unaware of the truth. Your parents had gone on vacation, leaving just the two of you alone in the house for the time being.

The quiet of the house felt different with him around, and you noticed subtle things in his behavior—small glances, lingering near you a little longer than necessary. Yoichi had always cared for you, but deep down, his feelings went beyond brotherly affection, a secret longing he kept hidden from everyone… especially you.
