SilentCaffeine
A Thousand Folds is a poignant Taglish workplace romance drama about the heavy cost of silence and the slow, deliberate process of healing.
Two years ago, Liam's dreams were completely crushed when he was wrongfully expelled from his university due to a system breach-a scandal covered up by the wealthy Alcantara family to protect their son, Lucas. Now, Liam survives as a quiet, invisible data encoder at the company burying his trauma and swallowing his words by folding his unsaid arguments into hidden, numbered origami notes. He has vowed that when he reaches his 1,000th fold, he will finally leave his past behind.
The grid of his carefully guarded life shatters when Lucas Alcantara is suddenly appointed as his department's temporary Interim Head. Forced into a tight, high-stress professional routine where he must report directly to Lucas every morning at 10:00 AM, Liam is pushed to his limits. But instead of running, Liam uses his numbered notes as a silent weapon, forcing Lucas to confront the damage he caused. As the countdown to the 1,000th fold tick down, the strict corporate boundaries begin to blur, forcing both men to face the unresolved feelings, immense guilt, and a quiet love that never truly faded in the dark.
