Between Silence and Us

Tay and New have been inseparable for years-best friends who know each other better than anyone else, bound by loyalty, comfort, and a closeness neither ever questions. When Tay's heartbreak sends him spiraling, it is New who stays, who holds him together, who loves him quietly without asking for anything in return.

But love left unspoken becomes a burden.

As New is pushed toward marriage by family expectations, he chooses stability over longing, believing Tay could never return his feelings. By the time Tay realizes his own heart, it is already too late-New is engaged, and silence has cost them everything.
This is a story about love that waits.
About silence that wounds.
