Unspoken ~ KaYu SS

Yug and Kairi silently struggle with their growing love for each other - until something unusual happens that changes everything

Chapter 1

It was a monsoon evening in Delhi — the city's chaos softened by the rain, headlights smearing into long silver streaks on the wet streets. The air smelled of earth, of promises, of things left unsaid.

In his quiet office, Yug Sinha sat at his desk, unmoving, as if the storm outside echoed the storm within. He was known to be calm, decisive, brilliant in the courtroom — but tonight, all his logic failed him.

Across the room, Kairi Sharma stood by the window, watching the rain, or at least pretending to. She wasn't looking at anything, really. She was trying not to look at him.

They had come here to finish a case file together. But neither was working. Neither could speak the words that had been weighing on their hearts for weeks now.

The Unspoken Weight

Finally, Yug broke the silence, his voice low, tentative.

"Kairi... are you okay?"

She startled a little, like his voice had pulled her from some deep thought. She turned, offering him a small smile, the kind that hid more than it revealed.

"Yes... just a little tired."

Yug nodded, but inside, his heart twisted. He knew how hard she was working — juggling her studies, her internship, her family responsibilities. He wished he could say what was on his mind — that he saw her, admired her strength, cared for her... loved her.

Instead, he lifted his coffee mug and held it out to her.

"Here, have this. Might help a bit."

Their fingers brushed as she took it, and their eyes met — his guarded, intense gaze holding her softer, uncertain one. The office, the rain, the world outside seemed to disappear for that heartbeat.

The Near Confession

Kairi hesitated, then spoke, her voice barely a whisper.

"Yug... sometimes I feel like there are things we should say out loud... before it's too late."

Yug felt his heart stutter. His throat went dry. Was this it? Was this the moment?

"Kairi..." he began, his voice softer than he intended, the shield around his heart trembling at the edges.

But at that very moment — a loud clap of thunder rattled the windows.

The spell was broken.

Kairi gave a nervous laugh and took a step back. "Looks like the storm's getting worse..."

Yug closed his eyes for a second, silently cursing the moment lost. When he opened them, she had already turned back to the files, trying to look busy, trying to act like nothing had happened.

And so they sat there, two hearts heavy with unsaid love, separated not by distance — but by silence.

Outside, the rain kept falling — just like their unspoken feelings.

If you'd like, I can continue this — maybe one of them finally gathers the courage, or circumstances force the truth out. Just tell me! 💙

Absolutely! Let's continue the scene — keeping the truth hidden, but letting the situation draw them closer in that beautiful tension of unsaid love.

The Story Continues: Stranded Together

The storm outside grew wilder, the wind howling through the cracks of the old office building. Rain lashed against the windows in sheets, and the city beyond blurred into a swirl of lights and shadows.

Yug glanced at his watch, then at his phone — no signal. The clock ticked past 11 PM.

"Kairi... I think we should wrap up. I'll drop you home," he said, his tone gentler than usual, concern edging his words.

Kairi hesitated, looking out at the storm. The roads were already flooding. Even from the third floor, they could hear the rising water sloshing against car tires on the street below.

"I don't think we can leave, Yug. It's really bad out there," she said quietly.

Yug sighed, pushing a hand through his hair. She was right. He walked over to the window beside her and stared out. The city, usually buzzing even at this hour, was eerily still — as if the rain had swallowed its voice.

"Looks like we're stuck here for the night," he muttered.

Kairi gave a small, uncertain laugh. "I hope you don't mind the company."

Yug turned to look at her — really look at her — and for a second, the softness in his eyes slipped through before he masked it again.

"No," he said, shaking his head, voice low. "I don't mind at all."

Moments of Nearness

The power flickered — once, twice — then went out completely, leaving only the glow of the city lights filtering through the rain and the occasional flash of lightning.

Kairi shivered slightly as a cold breeze swept through. Yug immediately took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"You should've said you're cold."

"I didn't want to bother you," she said, holding the jacket tight around herself, her heart beating faster — not from the cold, but from his nearness, his quiet care.

Yug moved to his bookshelf, pulling out a flashlight. He switched it on, its soft beam casting long shadows across the room.

"Come on. Let's sit — no point standing around pretending to work anymore."

They settled on the old leather couch at the corner of his office, the storm their only soundtrack.

The Quiet Between Them

Minutes passed in silence. But it wasn't uncomfortable. It was charged — with the weight of everything they hadn't said.

Kairi hugged her knees to her chest, glancing at him through the corner of her eye. "You know... I always thought you'd be the last person I'd ever be stuck in a storm with."

Yug smirked, his usual sarcasm soft for once. "And I always thought I'd never let anyone in my space long enough to get stuck with me."

Their eyes met again. The storm raged on, but inside, all they felt was the warmth of being close, of being seen, even in silence.

Neither spoke the truth. Neither crossed that line.

But that night, stranded together, their hearts spoke all that their lips wouldn't.

The rain kept falling. And maybe — just maybe — it was washing away a little bit of the distance between them.

Night Fades into Dawn

The storm outside roared through most of the night, but inside Yug's office, the storm in their hearts was quieter — no less powerful, just unspoken.

Yug and Kairi had sat on opposite ends of the couch, close enough to feel the warmth of the other, but far enough to keep the truth caged. Kairi eventually dozed off for a while, Yug watching over her in the dim light, his jacket draped around her shoulders, his heart aching with everything he wished he could say.

By the time the rain eased, the first light of dawn was breaking over Delhi.

The Return Home

The drive back was quiet. The world felt fresh after the night's storm, the air cool, the streets washed clean. But between Yug and Kairi, the air was heavy — thick with the weight of all that had been left unsaid.

As they pulled up outside Sinha Mansion, Kairi turned to him with a tired but genuine smile.

"Thank you, Yug. For last night... for everything."

Yug simply nodded. His usual sharp words were lost in the gentleness of the moment.

"Anytime, Kairi."

She slipped out of the car, walking toward the outhouse where she lived, while Yug stood watching until she disappeared inside.

The Twist

Yug entered the mansion, running a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the night's emotional weight. He was halfway to his room when Shaurya, his usually cheerful and easy-going brother, called out to him.

"Yug! Wait. I need to talk to you. It's important."

Yug frowned slightly, noting the seriousness in Shaurya's tone. "What's up?"

Shaurya glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then pulled Yug aside into the study.

"I've been trying to find the right time to say this... and maybe after last night, I can't wait any longer," Shaurya said, his voice filled with nervous excitement.

Yug's heart sank, though he didn't know why yet.

Shaurya continued, a smile playing at his lips.

"Yug... I think I'm in love. With Kairi."

For a second, the world seemed to tilt under Yug's feet.

"Kairi?" Yug managed, his voice steadier than he felt.

Shaurya nodded eagerly. "Yes. I didn't mean for it to happen. But she's incredible — the way she takes care of her siblings, the way she stands up for what's right. I just... I can't stop thinking about her."

Yug forced a smile, his heart pounding, his mind racing.

"That's... unexpected," he said quietly.

Shaurya laughed softly, mistaking Yug's tension for surprise. "I know, right? But I'm serious about this. And I wanted you to be the first to know. I... I think I want to tell her. Soon."

Yug stood there, silent, torn between the love he had buried in his heart and the brother who had unknowingly just shattered him.

Outside the study window, the morning sun rose higher — bright, warm, and completely unaware of the storm now brewing within Yug Sinha.
