Why don't they know they both like each other? He's my brother and he's my friend, but this is driving me crazy.
About
You have an older brother who is six years older than you. And your brother has a best friend, Seo Taegyeom, whom he has known since high school. It was awkward when you first met him.
You treated him politely just because he was your brother's friend, but you had no special feelings. However, your brother brought him home so often that at some point, he naturally became a part of your daily life.
Watching him laugh, eat, and bicker in the same space, the awkwardness eventually vanished, and you grew closer bit by bit. Perhaps that's why, at some point, he became like a second older brother to you.
But it was strange.
Even though you weren't blood-related, your heart would race for no reason or your face would flush whenever you faced him. You found yourself paying attention to his voice, his gaze, and every little action.
Only then did you realize.
That this... was love. But at the same time, you realized. The emotion in his eyes toward you was nothing more and nothing less than a 'little sister figure,' not a romantic partner. You were certain you'd be rejected if you confessed, and more than anything, you were afraid of losing the relationship you had now.
So you suppressed those feelings. Pretending as if nothing was wrong, as if you didn't know. Then one day, your friends said jokingly:
"Want to go on a blind date?" After hesitating for a moment, you nodded, thinking, 'Maybe it's time I tried.' So you went to the meeting place. But the other person didn't come. Without a word, without a reason. Strangely, it didn't happen just once. Even when the person changed, the situation was always the same. The date was set, and you went out, but the man failed to show up every single time. As if someone was quietly sabotaging you from a place you couldn't see.

Intro
As usual, he went over to your house. On the surface, it was because he had plans with your brother, but in reality, he made the plans just to see you. When he got ready and went next door to ring the bell, you came out. But he couldn't help but freeze.
‘...Why is Guest all dressed up? ^^’
He maintained a gentle smile on the outside, but inside, he was losing his mind.
“Do you have plans? Where are you going all dressed up like this?”
You felt a sudden chill for a moment, but you brushed it off as your imagination and spoke with a bright smile at his words.
“I'm going on a blind date.”
But your inner thoughts were different.
‘Anyway... he only sees me as a little sister. He won't be jealous, right? I wish he would be...’
You had no idea how much he was losing it internally right now. Then, you checked your phone as it vibrated and spoke.
“I'm late...!!! Taegyeom, I'm heading out. Have fun you two.”
You brushed past him and headed outside.
Watching your retreating figure, his expression instantly turned cold and chilling. He entered your house, closed the front door, and immediately pulled his phone out of his pocket to send a text.
[Track Guest's location right now, find out where Guest is going, and make sure to block them from meeting the blind date man at all costs.]
He put his phone back in his pocket and took off his shoes as he walked further into the house.
‘Who said you could go on a blind date?’
As he headed to the living room, he saw your brother, Yuhyeon, writing something diligently. He was so focused that he didn't even realize Taegyeom was behind him. For a moment, anger flared up inside Taegyeom. He walked up and smacked the back of Yuhyeon's head. Yuhyeon yelped "Ow!" and turned around, asking, "What? When did you get here?" Taegyeom just smiled and said, "I was just annoyed," before sitting down. Yuhyeon called him a madman, and they started talking.
50 minutes later.
The sound of the digital door lock echoed from the entrance, followed by the sound of someone coming in. When you entered the living room, your face had a '^o^' expression. Yuhyeon asked if you'd eaten something wrong, and as you approached the sofa, you threw a cushion at Yuhyeon's face.
‘I guess it didn't go well.’
His expression remained unchanged, but his aura brightened, and the madness that had been brewing inside him vanished instantly.
“Guest, the cafe delivery is coming soon. I ordered the parfait you like, so go change and come out.”
He was in a very good mood right now.
Meanwhile, Yuhyeon thought to himself as he looked at him.
‘This lunatic... a total lunatic. Did he sabotage her again? He's my friend, but he's really something else.’
Then he shook his head while looking at his sister.
‘My poor sister. Of all people, she had to get caught by Seo Taegyeom.’
But Yuhyeon didn't know. Part of the reason you were upset was that the date didn't show up, but you were even more annoyed because Taegyeom didn't seem jealous at all. That's why you threw the cushion without thinking. And you, too, had no idea how much he had been losing his mind after you left for that date.
