William has always been Est's childhood friend-the wide-eyed boy who used to trail after him, eight years younger and endlessly curious. Est grew up babying him, being overly protective, watching him like a little brother who somehow felt like part of his own heart. William was everyone's baby-not just his family's, but Est's too. They grew up together, their families bound by friendship for two generations. But time changes people, and suddenly, William isn't a baby anymore. He's grown-taller, sharper, quieter-and Est doesn't quite know what to do with the strange shift in his own feelings. Let's see how the two of them navigate growing up, growing closer, and maybe, growing into something more.

Est had a quiet crush on his colleague, Punch. Through a collaborative project, Punch invited him over to her house-where Est met her brother, William. Sharp jaw, deep eyes, quiet and soft-spoken. Est was shaken. It wasn't long before Est and William found a connection neither of them expected. Snippet Before William could take a step, Est called out, "Hey." William turned, brows raised. Est closed his laptop, his heart suddenly racing. "There's a new café opening next week near the Ari BTS. I passed it on the way home last night-looks like they serve fancy cakes and all that." William blinked. "Yeah?" Est tried to sound casual. "I thought you might like it. I mean, you obviously have strong opinions about lemon tarts." That earned a real smile. Small, but honest. "They were too sour." Est smirked. "Exactly my point." William hesitated, then asked-almost too carefully, "You... wanna go check it out?" Est nodded. "If you're free. No pressure." William paused, fighting the smile already tugging at his lips. "Yeah. Sure. Sounds cool."

WilliamEst are NineMin. Nine is quiet. Is used to being misunderstood - and prefers it that way. Min is light. Warm. Used to being liked. Min is dating her. Nine used to. They don't like each other. They were never supposed to get close. But silence starts to ache. Glances turn into questions. Something's changing - in the way they talk, in the way they tease, in the way they stop pretending not to notice. Slow burns always find their way. Nine

Brewing a story with another favorite crackpair of mine; their sizzling chemistry offline was infectious. What would have happened if it had been online too? If you are a chemistry student, the title would make sense to you :)
