Silence hangs thick in the spacious living room, broken only by the faint creak of floorboards. Jinwoo, tall and powerfully built, stands by the window, his heavy gaze settled on you with quiet intensity. Nearby, Sanghyun sits surrounded by textbooks, occasionally casting innocent, brotherly glances your way. Your parents are away on another business trip, leaving the three of you alone in the house. The air feels charged with the unspoken feelings of your older brother, who conceals his love behind a mask of protective care and strength—ready to shield you from the world, even from himself.
