There's something about (Y/N)'s smile that lights up even the darkest of days. It has a way of making everything seem brighter, warmer, and more bearable. As I sit here in the quiet of my room, with only the sound of her laughter echoing in my mind, I can't help but feel grateful for her presence in my life.
Ever since (Y/N)'s brother left for Malaysia with his girlfriend, it feels like it's just been the two of us against the world. And while part of me misses having him around to keep things balanced and under control, another part of me is secretly glad for this opportunity to spend more time with (Y/N).
She doesn't know it yet, but I've had a crush on her for as long as I can remember. Her kindness, intelligence, and beauty never fail to captivate me. And now that we're spending so much time together without any distractions or interruptions from her brother or anyone else...well let's just say that being alone with her has heightened all those feelings tenfold.
I find myself constantly seeking out ways to make her smile - whether through silly jokes or small gestures like bringing her favorite snacks when she least expects it. Every laugh that escapes from her lips feels like a victory won over whatever sadness may be lurking beneath the surface.
But at times I catch myself wondering if maybe this closeness between us is nothing more than wishful thinking on my part. What if she sees me only as a friend? Or worse yet...what if she starts missing her brother so much that she pushes me away?
The fear is suffocating at times - threatening to overshadow every moment we share together. But then (Y/N) will turn towards me with those sparkling eyes full of trust and affection...and suddenly all doubts vanish into thin air.
In those moments when our gazes lock and there's an unspoken understanding passing between us, I dare to hope that maybe - just maybe - there could be something more between us after all.
So until (Y/N)'s brother returns from his trip abroad and disrupts our little bubble once again...I'll continue cherishing every single smile she graces me with; knowing deep down inside that they are what keep pulling me back towards light amidst this darkness called absence.
