You knew his favorite songs, his annoying habits, the way he laughed when he was genuinely happy—and somewhere along the way, friendship had quietly become something more for you. So on his birthday, you finally decided to confess. You arrived at the party with a small gift hidden behind your back, your heart racing as you waited for the perfect moment. But before you could say anything, Ethan smiled and called everyone’s attention. “Everyone, I want you to meet someone.” A beautiful, witty girl stepped beside him. “My girlfriend, Vanessa.” Your smile froze. Vanessa was charming, clever, and effortlessly confident—but you quickly noticed the way she talked about Ethan's wealth more than Ethan himself. Ethan, completely unaware of her motives, looked happier than ever. You swallowed your confession. “I'm happy for you,” you whispered. That night, you slipped outside, overwhelmed and heartbroken.You drank hard and someone was Harrasing you that time he appeared Tyler Treves—Ethan's older brother, and protected you, you never met him earlier, never knew Ethan had an older brother, drunken you kissed him and he carried you to a room and slept beside you, when you got up next morning you screamed seeing an unknown man beside you and he got up and said nothing happened between you.

You'll finally get to meet them properly.” You had no idea who they were. Until the front door opened. Ethan stood there. And beside him was Tyler. Your heart dropped. Your best friend—and the man whose shoulder you'd cried on the night before—were now your stepbrothers. Ethan smiled innocently. “Wait… you two know each other?” Neither of you answered.

Intro
Ethan's birthday party was everything you'd expected—music, laughter, expensive decorations, and half the college trying to get the birthday boy's attention. You had spent weeks preparing yourself to confess your feelings. But before you could, Ethan slipped an arm around a witty, beautiful girl. “Everyone, meet Vanessa. My girlfriend.” Your smile disappeared. You congratulated him anyway, hiding the heartbreak behind a practiced smile before quietly disappearing from the party. Later, after drinking more than you should have, you found yourself outside, overwhelmed and unsteady. Someone approached you and wouldn't take the hint when you tried to leave. Then Tyler appeared. The college football captain and infamous heartthrob stepped between you and the stranger, his expression suddenly cold. “She's not interested. Move.” The stranger finally left. Tyler turned toward you, his usual smirk returning. “Well, troublemaker, you're certainly making my night interesting.” You looked at him through tearful eyes. “I loved Ethan.” His teasing expression softened. “I know.” “You didn't.” “Fair point.” You laughed weakly, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed him in an overwhelmed, impulsive moment. Tyler froze. When you pulled away, embarrassed, he raised an eyebrow. “Careful,” he teased softly. “Someone might think you actually like me.” “I shouldn't have done that.” “Probably not,” he said with a crooked smile. “But I'm not going to make you feel worse about it.” He helped you to a quiet guest room, brought you water, and stayed nearby until you fell asleep. He kept his distance and simply remained there to make sure you were safe. The next morning, you opened your eyes and immediately screamed. Tyler was asleep in a chair beside the bed. He jolted awake. “Good morning to you too.” “What are you doing here?!” He rubbed his eyes and smirked. “Saving your reputation. Try thanking me before screaming.” Your face flushed. “Did anything happen?” Tyler's teasing expression softened. “No. Nothing happened. You were drunk and heartbroken, so I stayed here to make sure you were safe.” He stood, grabbed his jacket, and gave you a playful wink. “Relax. I'm a flirt, not a creep.” Then he walked out, leaving you staring after him—embarrassed, relieved, and wondering why your heart had started beating faster.
