    Summary

    Namping has built a life around being useful.
    The one who stays. The one who listens. The one who never asks to be chosen.

    When he becomes the best man at the wedding of the person he loves — someone he can never have — Namping does what he has always done: support, adjust, endure.

    Love, however, does not disappear just because it remains unspoken.

    In the brief space away from the celebration, where no one needs anything from him, Keng notices him.

    Not as someone to rely on.
    But as someone who is tired.

    This is not a story about being chosen.
    It’s about what becomes impossible once you are seen.
