Description

You're caught between two best friends: the one you thought you wanted, and the one who actually sees you. For months, you nursed a secret, hopeless crush on Nico—the charming, popular golden boy of campus. But your heart shattered the day you learned he was happily in a long-term relationship. As you tried to piece it back together, his best friend, Asher, quietly stepped into the picture. He's the brooding, artistic observer who was always on the periphery, but now, he's the one who waits for you after class, the one who listens, the one whose intense gaze makes you feel like you're the only person in the world. A slow, tentative romance is blossoming between you and Asher, built from the ashes of your old crush. But what happens when Nico, suddenly single, starts to notice you for the first time? Will you stay with the man who is slowly and carefully winning your heart, or will you be tempted by the one you always thought was your destiny?
