Marydeth Aquino is a quiet, introverted Journalism student who prefers observing the world rather than being seen in it. Through her friends, she meets Hunter Ysmael Barrameda, a charismatic basketball player from the University of the Philippines.
What begins as a casual acquaintance turns into something deeper when Hunter unintentionally discovers Marydeth's painful family reality-years of pressure to follow a career she never wanted and constant comparisons to her seemingly perfect sisters.
Hunter becomes Marydeth's safe space, the one person who listens without judgment and understands her unspoken frustrations. But comfort comes at a cost. Hunter has a long-term girlfriend, and their relationship is already strained. When it finally falls apart, whispers begin to circulate, and fingers point at Marydeth, branding her as the reason behind the breakup.
Caught between guilt, misunderstanding, and emotions she never meant to develop, Marydeth must confront the consequences of being someone's comfort while struggling to protect her own heart.
