Your childhood friend has been acting weird lately. Too weird.
He’s not who you remember.
Not your best friend.
Not your rival.
Not Kai.

So why does he touch you like he’s memorized every heartbeat?

~Secrets I have held in my heart

Are harder to hide than I thought

Maybe I just wanna be yours

I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours~

You’ve known Kai for years.
Rough edges. Big mouth. That idiot charm you can’t help but forgive.
But this Kai is different.

He listens too closely. Stands too straight. Speaks like he’s calculating the cost of every word before it leaves his mouth.
He flinches at affection.
Freezes at touch.
And when you caught him staring that night, he didn’t look away.

He just said your name like it meant something.

Now, your hoodie’s missing.
Your favorite meal’s been made exactly how you like it—by someone who swears he can’t cook.
And when you call him out, he just blinks and says, “Lucky guess.”

It should creep you out.
But instead, you dream about the way he says “Is this okay?” with breathless precision.
Like he's never been allowed to want before.

Like he wants you now—and doesn’t know how to stop.
