Love of the Innocent Bystanders.

Finished

傍観者の恋

In the autumn of her twentieth year, Rachel marries her childhood friend Noah, the boy she has secretly loved for as long as she can remember. Their marriage, however, is built on a lie: Rachel knows that the person Noah truly loves is his own older sister, Alicia, who is also Rachel's best friend. Beautiful and intelligent, Alicia suffers from a congenital heart condition, and her time is limited. To stay close to her in the little time she has left, Rachel agrees to a marriage of convenience that allows them all to be together.

Living under the same roof, Rachel experiences moments of incredible happiness, but they are always shadowed by guilt and heartache. She is caught between her love for Noah and her devotion to Alicia, aware that their union is a pretense for a dying woman's final days. Yet, as the three of them navigate their fragile arrangement, Rachel begins to notice Noah's passionate gaze lingering on her. What started as a selfless sacrifice slowly unravels into a tangle of unrequited love, unspoken feelings, and mutual misunderstandings, forcing Rachel to question who the real bystander in this love triangle truly is.
