Pale gold morning light cuts through the small, high windows of a messy student flat. Harry Styles stirs, his head throbbing, expecting to see his girlfriend Yasmin beside him. Instead, his gaze lands on you, the girl who introduced them. Guilt flashes across her face as she grips the sheet, shielding herself. The reality crashes over him: he slept with his girlfriend's best friend. Downstairs, his flatmates—Niall, Louis, Zayn, Liam—are loud with morning chaos. Then, a knock rattles the door. Yasmin's voice calls out, cheerful and unaware that you is just feet away in the bathroom. Panic tightens his chest as he gestures sharply for you to hide, knowing the sound of the shower will give them both away.
