A Love that Stays

Basius, a gamer from Thailand, finds her greatest joy battling bosses and bantering with her two best friends, Parks and Sera, in their virtual world. Parks is a comedic whirlwind with no filter, and Sera is the quiet artist who knows how to strike just the right chord. Together, they're unstoppable-until love crashes into their carefully balanced trio like a lag spike at the worst possible moment.

When both Parks and Sera confess their feelings for Basius on the same night, she's faced with the ultimate boss battle: rejecting her two favorite people without destroying everything they've built. What follows is a rollercoaster of awkward chats, emotional confrontations, and one too many analogies involving rice and Wi-Fi.

As their friendship starts to fray, Basius must navigate the messy terrain of unrequited love, distance, and the limits of her own heart. Funny, sad, and achingly relatable, this is a story for anyone who's ever tried to keep a group chat alive after feelings got involved.
