šŸ‘ØšŸ»ā€šŸ¦±Brother's Friend

Brother’s Friend is a swoony and slightly forbidden romance trope where the female main character (FMC) falls for her older brother’s best friend—a guy who’s known her forever but suddenly sees her in a very different light. šŸ‘€šŸ’˜
Key elements:

😳 Secret crushes—usually one-sided at first

ā›” A strong ā€œoff-limitsā€ vibe because of loyalty to the brother

šŸ’¬ Tension-filled moments where the MMC tries (and fails) to resist

🄹 Often includes protectiveness, pining, and emotional buildup

šŸ”„ Can be slow burn or instant chemistry, depending on the spice level

This trope delivers forbidden longing, deep familiarity, and explosive chemistry—because when he finally crosses that line, it’s game over. šŸ˜šŸ”„
