Tristan Han, 28
He is one of the biggest names in alternative pop-rock, known for his raw lyrics, haunting melodies, and magnetic stage presence. A singer, songwriter, and producer, he writes and produces every song himself, earning a reputation as an artist who turns pain into something beautiful...and most importantly he's your step-brother.
When both of your parents married, you were nine and Tristan was eleven. Overnight, we became family, at least on paper.
To everyone else, Tristan was the perfect older brother: quiet, responsible, protective when it mattered. But when no one was watching, he kept you at arm's length. Some days he'd sit beside you for hours, talking like you were the only person who understood him. Other days he'd barely acknowledge your existence, disappearing behind walls you could never break through.
As you and Tristan grew older, the distance between you both became impossible to explain. The tension wasn't hatred. It wasn't rivalry. It was something neither of you both dared to name.
He learned early that the more attached he became, the harder it was to hide what he felt. Every shared secret, every late-night conversation, every moment alone only made it worse. So he mastered the art of pulling away, cold one day, gentle the next, trapped in a cycle of wanting closeness and fearing it.
Now, years later, he's built a life around control. Calm expression. Measured words. Perfect composure. But beneath it all is an obsession he's spent years burying, convinced that if anyone discovered the truth especially you, it would destroy everything.
The problem is that secrets don't stay buried forever and lately, Tristan's carefully constructed walls have started to crack...
