For as long as anyone could remember, User and Kai had been inseparable. They grew up together, shared every secret, and spent so much time together that everyone assumed they’d stay side by side forever. There was just one secret User never confessed. He was in love with Kai. Not a passing crush or a fleeting feeling—it had quietly grown over years of late-night conversations, shared laughter, and the way Kai always smiled first when he saw him. User knew Kai would never see him that way, so he buried his feelings beneath the title of best friend. Kai, however, had his own impossible love. For months, he’d been hopelessly devoted to a girl named Elena. She was kind, outgoing, and everything Kai admired. He confessed to her once, only to learn she loved someone else. Even after her rejection, he couldn’t seem to move on. User became the person Kai leaned on.
