When we stopped pretending

I never thought I'd fall for my brother's best friend.

For years, Sunghoon was just sunghoon- the boy who was always at our house, teasing me, stealing snacks from the kitchen, and acting like I was nothing more than his best friend's little sister.

But now, things are different.

Maybe it's the way his eyes linger on me when he thinks I'm not looking. Maybe it's the way my heart races whenever he's around. Or maybe I've been falling for him longer than I want to admit.

The problem is, my brother has one rules: Sunghoon is off-limits.

I should listen, I should stay away.

Instead, I find myself getting closer to him with every passing day.

One stolen glance becomes late-night conversations. One innocent touch becomes something neither of us can ignore. And before I know it, I'm caught between the brother I love and the boy who's slowly stealing my heart.

If my brother finds out, everything could fall appart.

But how am I supposed to let go when every part of me wants to hold on to sunghoon?
