"He called me 'bro'. I called him my whole universe."
I've loved Aren since our first year at university.
He's attractive, wild, the kind of guy everyone notices.
Me? I'm the chill friend. The safe one.
The one he calls "hyg"-like I'm just another guy.
For seven years, I kept my love quiet. I laughed when he laughed, picked up his calls when he needed help, and swallowed my feelings every time he flirted with someone else.
One night, drunk and heartbroken, he came to me.
And for a few blurred moments... I wasn't invisible.
He kissed me like I mattered.
But the next morning?
He didn't even remember.
This is the story of unspoken love, heartbreak in silence, and the painful truth of never being seen... until it's too late.
He was my first love. But I was only ever his safe place.
