They say..."The best crushes are the ones you have no chance with."

Kierian Drayven Tran navigates the tangled web of unrequited love for years. Kier is so invested in Alyxia, despite her showing no signs of interest in him. He has become a mere shadow in her life, always in the background. He just can't help but feel a connection. Why do people often find themselves attracted to those who don't reciprocate their feelings?

Human emotions are indeed a complex maze.  Talking about Alyxiaethra Elysande Vespera with her intricate emotions, and the dynamics of attractions often play tricks on her emotions and perceptions.  Given that Kier already has feelings for her, it seems to appear less exciting to Alyxia. 

After graduating from high school, they started to drift apart.  Alyxia's everyday life underwent a significant change without Kier by her side. The growing distance between them, coupled with the knowledge that there's a random girl lingering around Kier all the time, sparked curiosity in Alyxia. This filled the gap with a sense of mystery and excitement about the unknown. Consequently, this triggered a fear of loss, making Kier appear even more desirable.

She seemed to be experiencing the principle of scarcity. When Kier become less available, his perceived value seems to increase. 

This phenomenon taps into the thrill of "The Chase" and the challenge of winning someone over.... still dependent of uncertainties. 

Will Alyxia finally realize and develop her feelings for Kier amidst the whirlwind of self-discovery and heartache? Or...just apparently a chase for validation of her own worth and desirability, not a genuine connection, merely to boost her ego? 

Together with her best friend, Kaida Yven Trejo, who's fed up already with her  cliché life. Along with Ryandrei San Esquivel, another guy who seems to experiencing the pull of the unattainable in life. THE CHASE BEGINS!
