    Summary

    There was one reason Hong trusted Phuwin almost immediately. Unlike every other Omega who befriended him, Phuwin had absolutely no interest in his older brother.

    At fifteen, Phuwin thought Pond was everything he disliked in an Alpha—constantly stealing food, making sarcastic comments, and showing up exactly where he wasn't wanted. While the rest of the school practically queued up to drool over Bangkok's golden boy, Phuwin remained unimpressed.

    Years later, university reunites them on the other side of the world. What begins as an older brother looking after his sibling's best friend slowly turns into shared dinners, late-night study sessions, lingering scents and excuses for why Phuwin keeps leaving hoodies at Pond's apartment. Somewhere along the way, the Alpha he'd spent years dismissing becomes the person he looks for first, misses the most, and wants with an intensity he never saw coming.

    Loving Pond isn't the problem. Him being his best friend's brother is.

    Now all they have to do is keep it a secret from the one person they never wanted to hurt.

    Because everyone knows the rule. Never date your best friend's brother. Falling in love with him anyway? That part was never covered.
