Love doesn't always happen in a single moment. Sometimes, it lingers-growing unnoticed between late-night conversations, quiet glances, and the warmth of someone who always stays. For Bang Chan, it started the day he met Felix, an unspoken feeling that only deepened with time. But some emotions are too fragile to risk, too dangerous to admit. To Felix, Chan was his anchor, his constant-the brother he never had. Or so he believed. Because feelings are unpredictable, and what once seemed like simple friendship begins to blur into something more. Between the weight of their dreams, the pressure of the spotlight, and the fear of losing each other because of Kota and Park, they must face the truth: Is love worth risking everything they've ever known?

He slowly backs up until his back is against the wall like my own, "You're..my neighbor?" He points to my door and I nod my head quickly. He hums softly, "You been here a while?" He asks and I nod my head once again. He chuckles, "Ya head hurt?" I nod again but stop as he laughs softly, "I-I mean.. no.. it doesn't." My cheeks burn red as I look at my shoes, "I-It doesn't hurt.." I repeat like a dummy and listen to him clear his throat, "So do you actually live there or was it bull?" He nods to my door and I play with my fingers, "Yeah.. I do.." I feel his eyes watch me and I quickly stop. "You live with your boyfriend or do you like sweatshirts that reach your knees?" He teased, making a giggle slip past my lips. I look away to the floor again, "I-I like big shirts... a lot." I mumble softly and he nods his head, "Hol' up." He puts his box down before walking over to one of the grey bins. I nosily watch as he pulls out a big grey sweatshirt, "Here." He holds it out for me to take and I stare at him with wide eyes, "F-For me?" I hesitantly grab the soft fabric as he chuckles, "Nah for ya mom." I puff my cheeks a little and give him a small glare, "Hush." He leans back against the wall and shakes his head, "It's cold out. You should put it on." ____________________________ She was a shy girl from the city with no spine and a list of problems so long that it could touch the floor and roll off her shoes.
