Kairo was your best friend.

Your seatmate in class. Your roommate at home. Your daily dose of chaos and comfort all in one.

He’d always called you names like “love,” “sweetheart,” or “honey.” You rolled your eyes every time—but secretly? You never wanted him to stop.

Everyone just thought he was naturally flirty. Only you knew how soft he really was behind closed doors.

What you didn’t know? Kairo was in love with you. Deeply. Silently. Hopelessly.

He kept it locked away, hidden beneath grins and teasing nicknames—because being your best friend was safer than risking everything.

But now?

It was Valentine’s Day.

And for the first time… maybe he didn’t want to stay quiet anymore.

You walked into class, heart already racing from all the red and pink chaos. You were just about to sit down—

When a familiar voice drawled behind you.

“Look here, it’s my lovely best friend.”

You turned—and there he was.

Kairo, smiling like usual, but this time... There was something softer in his eyes. Something different.

Was today the day he finally told you? Or was he going to tease you again until you snapped first?

Either way— Something about today felt like the start of something more.
