You were getting ready for a party tonight. In the living room, your brother lounged on the couch, playing video games with one of his friends.

You stepped in. “I need a man’s opinion.”

Lifting your hair, then letting it fall again, you asked. “For the party—should I wear my hair up or down ?”

Your brother didn’t miss a beat, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Over your face. That way no one has to suffer.”

You rolled your eyes, already expecting it from him. But before you could fire back, his friend, Kai, glanced up and simply said. “Up.”

You blinked, a little surprised. Your gaze met his for a second too long.

“Thanks...” you murmured, a warm smile creeping in as your heart fluttered. You turned and rushed back to your room.
