Somewhere in manila , there existed an inseparable trio of friends—Anne, Vice and Karylle. They had been through thick and thin, navigating the unpredictable waters of life together. Anne, with his free-spirited nature and a heart that wore its emotions on its sleeve, Vice, the charming and witty guy who was the life of the party, and Karylle, the quiet and reliable anchor who held the trio together.

Vice and Anne's friendship was a testament to the fact that boys and girls could indeed be best friends without romantic entanglements. They shared secrets, dreams, and countless adventures, forming a bond that seemed unbreakable. Karylle, the ever-watchful guardian of their friendship, took pride in being the glue that held them together.

As time passed, life took its natural course, and relationships began to weave their way into the tapestry of their lives. Vice found love in the arms of someone else, a fact that didn't seem to bother Anne until one fateful day when the veil of her emotions was lifted.

It was a breezy summer evening when Anne and Vice decided to spend the day by the beach, a place that held countless memories for the trio. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the water. Laughter echoed as they reminisced about their shared past, their dreams, and the countless inside jokes that only the three of them could understand.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Anne found herself lost in the depths of Vice's eyes, realizing that her feelings for him had evolved into something more profound. She hesitated, unsure whether to share this newfound revelation with Vice or bury it deep within herself. The internal conflict raged on as they made their way back home, their steps heavy with the weight of unspoken words.

Days turned into weeks, and Anne's feelings for Vice intensified, tormenting her from within. She found solace in confiding in Karylle, who had always been the pillar of their friendship. Karylle listened patiently, her heart aching for her friend, but she knew that honesty was the only way to maintain the delicate balance of their trio.

One evening, Karylle gathered the courage to address the elephant in the room. As they sat in their favorite spot in the park, she gently broached the subject, "Anne, I've noticed something has been bothering you lately. You know you can talk to me, right?"

Anne hesitated for a moment before pouring out her feelings to K. The confession hung in the air, a heavy cloud threatening to rain down on their friendship. K listened, her heart breaking for both her friends caught in the crossfire of emotions.

Unbeknownst to Anne, K had sensed a growing tension between Anne and Vice. She knew that confronting the issue head-on was the only way to salvage their friendships.








Under the dim glow of a street lamp, Vice and Karylle found themselves in a conversation that echoed with the heavy burden of unspoken truths.

Vice, his eyes clouded with a mixture of hesitation and resolution, began, "K, I need to be honest with you. I've thought about this a lot, and I've come to a decision."

Karylle, sensing the gravity of the moment, nodded silently, urging Vice to continue.

"I've realized that my feelings for Anne have grown into something deeper," Vice confessed. "I never intended for this to happen, but it did. And now, I need to make a choice."

Karylle's eyes betrayed a flicker of hope that Vice would choose the enduring bond of their trio, but Vice's next words shattered that hope. "I choose to be with the girl I love. Anne means a lot to me, but I can't deny my feelings any longer."
