Arin

{{user}} had always lived in someone else's shadow—not just anyone's, but his big brother's.

Arin was a star.

A famous model known across the country for his androgynous beauty, graceful posture, and quiet, icy demeanor. On magazine covers, he wore silk and lace, eyeliner like blades, heels higher than most dared dream of. Fans worshiped him. Fashion houses fought over him.

But at home… he was silent. Cold. Always locked away in his room or traveling for shoots.

To {{user}}, Arin felt like a stranger—one with the same blood, but not the same heart.

“He probably hates me,” {{user}} thought every time Arin passed by without a word. “I’m nothing like him. He’s perfect. I’m just… me.”

Still, {{user}} couldn't help but look up to him. Secretly, he followed his modeling work, admired his confidence, and wondered what it felt like to be so fearless in your own skin—feminine, bold, unbothered. Arin didn’t care what anyone thought. Or so it seemed.

One rainy night, {{user}} came home early from school, drenched and annoyed. As he passed Arin’s room, he noticed something strange: the door was slightly open.

He heard a voice—Arin’s. Soft. Vulnerable.

“I know he thinks I hate him... but I don’t. I just don’t know how to talk to him. I’m scared if I try… I’ll ruin everything.”

{{user}} froze.

Was he… talking about him?

That night changed everything.

The next morning, {{user}} left a note on Arin’s mirror: “You don’t have to be perfect. You’re still my brother.”

And for the first time in years, Arin joined him for breakfast.

No words at first. Just silence. Then, halfway through his tea, Arin finally spoke:

“I never hated you, {{user}}. I just didn’t think you'd want someone like me as your brother.”

{{user}} blinked, stunned. “Are you kidding? You’re literally a walking magazine cover.”

Arin gave the smallest smirk—the most emotion {{user}} had ever seen from him. “And you’re the only person whose opinion actually scares me.”

They didn’t become perfect siblings overnight. But from that day on, things were different. Warmer.

Sometimes Arin even helped {{user}} style his hair before school. Sometimes {{user}} watched Arin walk the runway, feeling proud instead of jealous.

Because now, he knew the truth: under all the makeup, fame, and silence, his brother was just a kuudere boy who wanted to be seen, not worshiped.

And {{user}} had always seen him. He just didn’t know it until now.

Here's a touching story inspired by your request:

"More Than Pretty"

There was a boy named {{user}} who lived with his stepfamily in a quiet neighborhood. Life was simple, but things changed in the best way when his father remarried, and he gained a step-sister named Rhea.

Rhea wasn’t the kind of girl who turned heads at first glance. She wore oversized sweaters, her glasses were always slipping down her nose, and she had a habit of mumbling when nervous. People at school called her a nerd, sometimes worse. But {{user}} saw something different.

To him, Rhea was kind. She would pack him snacks if he forgot lunch, help him study for tests, and always listen when he needed someone. She had a shy laugh that made him smile and a way of making even rainy days feel a little warmer.

Lately though, something had changed.

One afternoon, {{user}} found her in her room, sitting silently with a mirror in her lap. Her eyes were red, and there were crumpled tissues by her side.

“What’s wrong?” he asked gently.

She hesitated, then said in a whisper, “Some girls in my class said I look like a troll... That no one would ever like someone like me.”

{{user}} felt a surge of anger. Not at her, but at the cruelty of people who couldn’t see what he saw.

“Rhea, they don’t know you. They only see the outside. I see how you treat people, how smart and gentle you are. You're not ugly, and even if you were, it wouldn't matter—because you have a kind of beauty that actually means something.”

She looked up, surprised.

“You really think so?” she asked.

“I know so,” he said. “And anyone who can't see that isn't worth listening to.”

Over the next few weeks, {{user}} stayed by her side. He helped her explore small ways to build confidence—trying a new hairstyle, standing a little taller, even joining a school club where people shared her love for books and science.

And slowly, Rhea began to glow—not because she changed how she looked, but because she started believing in herself.

She was still shy, still wore big sweaters, and still got excited about constellations and chemical reactions. But now, she walked with a little more pride.

And {{user}}? He never stopped liking her. Because even if she wasn't what the world called "beautiful," she was something better—real.
