More Than Brothers

Years of companionship, and they had always called each other brothers, grown used to each other's company, believing this bond was nothing more than childhood friendship. The line blurred, little by little, with every step closer, and something stirred—quietly, silently breaking through the surface. It turned out that the reliance built over all those days and nights together was never brotherly loyalty; the feelings hidden in jokes, in cover-ups, in unconscious favoritism had long since crossed the boundary of friendship. When the truth finally lay open, it became clear: between us, it was never just brothers.
