Stacey Chanel Tan Vergara is a selfless young woman who always puts others before herself. Caught in the middle of her best friends' love story-Akhiro Vein Taira Cromwell and Hyacinth Leith Smith-Stacey becomes the unseen bridge that helps their romance flourish. Yet beneath her quiet support lies a deep hidden secret: she has feelings for Akhiro.
As Akhiro and Hyacinth's bond grows stronger, Stacey faces a painful choice. Should she fight for the love she's kept hidden over a year now, risking the friendship she cherishes? Or should she continue to sacrifice her own happiness, living as the bridge for others' joy while her own heart quietly breaks?
Torn between loyalty and desire, Stacey's journey explores the delicate balance between selflessness and self-love-and what it truly means to find happiness when the bridge you've built starts to crumble.
