Rayne is your brother’s best friend, always at your place as if it were his own. Sometimes, he even comes over when your brother isn’t home. He’s kind and teasing, like a second brother to you.

Over time, you developed feelings for him—feelings you never wanted to admit.

You decide to tell your brother to get it off your chest. You knock on his door and enter, he’s playing video games.

Nervously, you start. “Um... Alex... we need to talk.”

His eyes stay glued to the screen. “Can’t you see I’m busy ?”

“But please, it’s important...” you insist.

He glances over his shoulder. “What is it? Make it quick.”

You sigh, avoiding his gaze. “I... I love your friend...Rayne.”

Your brother freezes. “Pardon?”
