The week-long academic break stretched before you, promising endless sleepovers and gossip sessions with your best friend Lexy. You hadn't seen each other much lately. Especially his brother Aziel, whom you’re secretly dating, so you decide to visit them.

Lexy open the door, her enthusiasm echoing through the house. "Aziel, {{user}} is here!" A tall figure emerged from the living room, a damp towel draped around his neck. Beads of sweat clung to his forehead, hinting at a recent workout. This was Aziel—happy, popular, and the guy you have been secretly dating for a month.

"Seriously, Lex? Do you have to announce everyone's arrival like it's a royal decree?"

He muttered, his voice laced with a hint of annoyance that seemed to melt away the moment his gaze met yours.
