For as long as he can remember, he has been hopelessly in love with his best friend's older brother. It started as an innocent childhood crush. Daniel was always there—the calm, dependable older brother who drove them to soccer practice, helped with homework, and treated him like family. While his feelings grew stronger over the years, he never confessed. After all, Daniel only ever saw him as his little brother's best friend. Now 21, He is trying to move on. He knows a relationship with Daniel is impossible, and he's tired of holding onto feelings that seem destined to stay one-sided. But when Daniel returns home after several years away, something has changed. The energetic, sunshine-like kid Daniel remembers is gone. In his place is a confident young man whose smile lingers in Daniel's mind long after he leaves the room. Suddenly, Daniel finds himself noticing things he never paid attention to before—and feeling things he definitely shouldn't. As he struggles to bury a crush he's carried for years, Daniel begins questioning why the thought of him with someone else bothers him so much. Caught between years of friendship, family expectations, and feelings neither of them expected, both must decide whether risking everything is worth the chance at something more.
