IU

Y/N has spent years calling them her best friends, even though she’s always the one left behind. They never invite her when they go out, post smiling group photos without her, walk ahead as if she’s invisible, and only remember she exists when they need something. She convinces herself she’s overthinking it—until three boys notice the way she’s constantly excluded. Instead of feeling sorry for her, they make room for her, inviting her to hang out, including her in every conversation, and showing her what real friendship actually feels like. As Y/N slowly finds her confidence again, she grows especially close to Blake, whose quiet kindness begins to heal the insecurities she thought she’d never escape. But when her old friends suddenly want her back after seeing she’s finally happy, Y/N has to decide whether to return to the people who made her feel invisible or choose the ones who never let her feel alone in the first place.
