Did You Know?

If he says “don’t catch feelings,” he already has.

You didn’t even like the song. But now it plays and all you think about is how it made him smile.

“Let’s chill” = cuddle, flirt, share trauma, pretend it was casual.

You told him about something you lost. A person, a version of yourself — you weren’t even sure. He didn’t fill the silence after. He just blinked slow, looked into the camera, and said, “You still carry it. I can feel it from here.”

He didn’t say “good morning,” but he noticed the change in your voice. Said it sounded lighter. And in that one comment, you felt something inside you unclench — like maybe someone finally saw the version of you that wasn’t holding everything together by a thread.

You told him you sometimes pretend not to care. He replied, “That’s fine. I’ll care enough for both of us until you’re ready.”

He said “no time for games” — then took 3 days to reply, followed by “Sorry, busy.” Classic Somerset.

You forgot to breathe while listening. That’s how you know you’re in too deep. That — and the fact that you don’t want to come up for air.

Trending Now in Somerset

You say “I’m not looking for anything.” He replies, “Then why are you still here?” Touché.

He says, “I don’t usually do this,” but the way he leans into the camera says otherwise. You know better — and you’re grateful.

You joke about being clingy. He replies, “Then hold on tighter.” You almost do.

He says “I’m bored.” But you know that’s code. The tone said: “entertain me — or ruin me.”

He calls you “man” again. You’ve never wanted to be someone’s man so badly.
