SUMMARY

Clementine St. James and Joey Tribbiani have been best friends since childhood, their bond unbreakable through the years. They've always been there for each other, sharing laughs, challenges, and dreams. Clementine, with her quick wit and understanding nature, and Joey, with his loyal and charming personality, has done the same for her. Their friendship has been their constant in a world full of changes and they could never imagine life without each other. 

However, things begin to shift when Joey develops feelings for Rachel Green, a mutual friend in their circle, whom Clementine has always considered a close confidante. Clementine begins to feel an unsettling mix of jealousy and confusion while doing her best to help her best friend out during this difficult time despite her own problem. 

Clementine tries to suppress her growing feelings for Joey, fearing that confessing her emotions would ruin their unbreakable bond. As Joey's feelings for Rachel intensify, Clementine becomes more withdrawn, battling with the tension that builds between them. Despite her internal turmoil, she continues to support Joey, offering him advice and comfort as he navigates his crush on Rachel. However, the more she helps him, the more difficult it becomes to hide her true feelings, leaving her in an emotional struggle she never expected to face.

In the end, Clementine and Joey both come to realize that, no matter what, their friendship will always be the most important thing to them. They may face awkward moments and challenges as their emotions evolve, but they know that they can count on each other, no matter what happens. Through the ups and downs of love and friendship, they'll be there for each other, just as they always have been. And who knows, maybe one day they'll realize the perfect one for them they've been searching for was right there all along.
