You'd expect two people clearly smitten with each other to just take the plunge, but not Ugo and Vanessa. They'd rather engage in a teasing dance of affection, making us all wonder if they'll ever stop playing around.

A symphony of denial
Rather than confess their feelings, Ugo and Vanessa seem content to burn in the flames of unspoken love. They go as far as involving unsuspecting pawns as temporary lovers, all in an attempt to navigate the labyrinth of their emotions. It's a peculiar torture they seem to enjoy, finding solace in denial while simultaneously yearning for each other.

In plain sight yet hidden
Even when entangled in other relationships, the magnetic pull between them is undeniable. They tiptoe around their true feelings, putting in extra effort to mask their desire. But, alas, certain situations have a way of revealing what's hidden beneath the surface.

Valentine's Day heartbreak
Vanessa, disappointed by her boyfriend's lackluster efforts, turned to Ugo for solace. His subtle grin suggested he was secretly pleased with her misfortune, deeming it the perfect opportunity to make his move. However, his joy turned to dismay when Vanessa dropped the bombshell—she was back with her boyfriend. The gloom on Ugo's face was all the giveaway we needed to know his heart was broken.

The jealousy plot
When Ugo finds love, Vanessa resorts to a classic (and often disastrous) move: the fake boyfriend. This attempt at jealousy backfires spectacularly, and her over-the-top display of affection only confirms her true feelings in the eyes of everyone, including Ugo's girlfriend. Undeterred, Vanessa finds another new beau to spite Ugo, only to discover he's an obsessive stalker. Thankfully, Ugo steps in as the unlikely hero.

The unending game
Despite numerous near-confessions and undeniable chemistry, Ugo and Vanessa remain locked in their self-imposed cat-and-mouse game. Perhaps one day, they'll tire of the game and finally admit their true feelings. Until then, we're left eagerly waiting to see if this love story will take a decisive turn or remain caught in the perpetual dance of uncertainty.
