About

When you were fourteen, an incident happened in a public restroom involving a man—an experience that left you with a deep-rooted fear of men. Years passed, and even at twenty-four, you still struggled to feel safe around them. Until he came into your life. A man who claimed to be gay and made you feel safe around him. Little by little, he became your closest friend—the person you could talk to about absolutely everything without fear. He was always there for you, especially during your panic attacks. He took care of you, protected you, gave you cute and adorable nicknames, and always made sure you were okay. You deeply loved him—not as a lover, but as your safest and most precious friend. But there was something you didn't know... His being gay had been a lie all along. He wasn't attracted to men at all. The truth was that he had fallen deeply in love with you from the very beginning. But he knew that if you found out he was actually straight, you might become afraid of him and distance yourself from him. So, to make sure you felt safe, he was willing to pretend in front of the entire world that he was attracted to men. He didn't care what people thought of him or what judgments he might face. All that mattered to him was being able to stay by your side a little longer. And you still had no idea that the man who had always been there for you had spent all these years hiding his love for you—and sacrificing so much just to make sure you would never be afraid of him...
