A very happy ending love story between Selestin Isaías Gaspar and Agapito Elías Kallisto.
•••
A rivals-to-lovers story set in a small town in the province, following two male students whose competition slowly blooms into connection, and an unnamed feeling takes shape between them.
Once childhood best friends, bound by laughter and torn apart by an accident, years later meet again in a small provincial town-one carrying fragments of memory and a world subtly altered. Both find themselves strangers in familiar faces. One has changed, shaped by trauma and years away; the other carries secrets and unspoken fears.
What begins as rivalry for survival and ambition quietly unfolds beneath endless cornfields and skies that shift from sunlit gold to sudden rain, leaving the air heavy with the scent of wet earth, flowers, and grass.
It lingers in glances that brush against recognition, in hesitant smiles that hint at shared history, in memories that come in shards and echoes, and in the small, unspoken gestures that slowly rebuild trust.
It surfaces in moments under fleeting rainbows, in words left unfinished beneath starlit nights, and in the subtle ache of remembering-of trying to reconcile who they were with who they have become-shaping something neither of them is ready to name, yet cannot ignore.

This is a teen fiction short story written primarily in English, with a touch of Filipino/Tagalog, inspired by SB19's Hanggang Sa Huli.
