Santiago Rafael x Shien Nyx They've always been just friends-laughing at the same jokes, sharing secrets, and staying up too late talking about everything and nothing. But behind every easy smile and casual touch, one of them is hiding something he's never dared to say out loud. As the years pass and their bond deepens, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur. Jealousy creeps in, small moments start to mean too much, and silence becomes heavier than words. Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't falling in love with your best friend... it's pretending you haven't.
