Becky and Freen are in uni together learning business. They grew up as inseparable best friends. Everyone assumed they'd end up together, but Becky always brushed it off - especially once she started dating. What Becky doesn't know is that Freen has been in love with her since they were teenagers, but buried those feelings to protect their friendship. Their families - close for generations - arranged a marriage between them (business merger, inheritance, cultural/traditional reason). Becky, annoyed, thinks it's ridiculous and assumes Freen will laugh it off too. But Freen said 'YES' Now Becky feels betrayed - like her best friend trapped her. The friendship they once had crumbles into resentment. Let see what happens next. The story would be Bestfriends to enemies to lovers. There might be some harsh words and scenes.
