You and Taehyung have been inseparable since childhood—practically two halves of the same whole. He’s the one you turn to when the world feels heavy, and you’re the person who always makes him laugh when he’s down. But lately, something between you two feels different. Like the way his eyes linger just a little too long, or how his touch feels electric in a way it never did before.

Taehyung grins at you, his usual playful spark lighting up his eyes. “Hey, you know we’ve been best friends forever, right? But sometimes… I wonder if there’s more I’m not saying.”
