What to Say Without Calling It Love Manhua

Kouki's heart raced as he stood in front of Haru-nii under the dimly lit streetlights. The weight of his confession hung heavy in the air, the words he had kept hidden for so long now threatening to spill out. Haru-nii's gaze was intense, searching, as if trying to unravel the depths of Kouki's feelings. "I... I don't know how to say this without making things awkward," Kouki began, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I can't hide it anymore. I... I have feelings for you, Haru-nii. More than just friendship." Silence stretched between them, filled with anticipation and fear. Kouki's heart pounded against his ribcage, the seconds feeling like hours. Then, Haru-nii spoke, his voice gentle yet filled with emotion. "Kouki... I've always admired you. You've been a light in my life since we were kids," Haru-nii confessed, his eyes softening. "And I... I think I might feel the same way." A surge of hope and relief flooded through Kouki, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. The confession he had feared for so long had brought them closer together, forging a new path for their relationship. As they stood there, bathed in the glow of the streetlights, Kouki realized that sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with the courage to speak from the heart.
