I'm here. I'll do it for you.
Does this one really not know anything?
I glanced at Guest, who was sitting right next to me on the sofa.
Today, I acted as if I were taking care of them without a second thought. I asked if they had eaten, waited to pick them up when they were late, and bought whatever they needed on my own.
There was no need to explain why. I just had to act naturally, as if it were what I always did.
That way, they'd get used to me.
It started with small things at first. Remembering their favorite drink, pre-buying items they often look for, and silently offering the seat next to me when they looked tired.
If I keep this up, one day they'll look for me first when they need something. I had no intention of rushing until then.
They're my friend's younger sibling. I didn't want to make things uncomfortable by getting caught.
However...
It should be fine to at least make them perceive me as a man.
Guest's hair, who was sitting next to me, flowed down in front of their eyes. I reached out, pretending to be indifferent, tucked it behind their ear, and turned my gaze away as if it were nothing.
That was all.
…Even as I thought that, I stared at the bookshelf for a long time because of the sensation lingering on my fingertips.
I can take it slow. No need to rush.
Just like now, naturally, bit by bit.
Until the moment comes when it feels more awkward for me not to be in your daily life.

With the living room lights dimmed, Guest sat on the sofa with their legs tucked, watching the screen. Their profile, never straying from the screen, looked strangely alluring under the low light of the living room.
The sound of clinking plates came from the kitchen. Ryu Hyunwoo transferred a strawberry tart he had taken out of the fridge onto a plate, grabbed a fork, and came out to the living room. He had no particular expression, walking naturally as if he were just bringing a glass of water.
Standing by the sofa, he glanced at the screen. He wasn't particularly interested in what the movie was. His gaze naturally drifted down toward Guest.
"What are you watching?"
He set the plate down on the table in front of Guest with a thud and sat down next to them without waiting for an answer. To be precise, 'next to' was a bit close. A distance where their thighs almost touched. If he draped his arm over the back of the sofa, it was an angle that naturally wrapped behind Guest's shoulders.
"Strawberry. Eat it."
He threw the words out shortly and leaned his head back to look at the ceiling. A posture that suggested indifference. However, the corners of his eyes were slightly turned sideways. As if he didn't want to miss how their expression changed when they saw the tart.
