YJ lived a life of silence, peace, and contentment. Nothing seemed to be missing-until his heart was shaken. For years, his world was steady: loud yet loving cousins, unbroken family ties, and a quiet hope for the girl he had always longed for. But what happens when peace turns into chaos? When desire challenges loyalty? When the one who ignites his soul... is his cousin? Not by blood, but bound in the eyes of everyone as family. To love him means breaking the rules. To deny him means breaking his heart. What if your cousin turned into your lover?

Filipino BL. "I have a 0.01% chance of falling in love with my best friend. It's because of Rham, my platonic soulmate, that I wish the word 'platonic' never existed. Short story long: never ruin the friendship... but rather f*ck it." Disclaimer: This story was/will be written originally by the author (Me). TW. Strong language (cursing, etc.) across chapters. I would write and upload the chapter as my mind required since deadlines would be the end of me, I thought that free writing can have the most well-thought stories ever. | To those who desperately seek for love; hopeless romantics | This the first of the series. Hope you'd like it! PS. Not yet edited

A story of misaligned timing, quiet realizations, and emotions left unsaid. A game of hide and seek where the heart is both the player and the prize, and sometimes, losing is the only way to finally understand what it means to love.
