This is a bl story, and if you're not a fan of fast-paced romances, this might not be for you. You can skip this story, and read the other series. Don't worry, even if you skip this, it won't affect the other series because each one has its own story. Honestly, I wrote this under pressure, which is why the story unfolds so quickly. I'm not keen on rewriting or deleting this because ONC actually motivated me to keep writing. note: please bear with any grammatical or typographical errors. i will revise it soon. ࣪ ִֶָ☾. 06.22.24 - 09.08.24

Kio Soledad de Merced always kept his life quiet and private. He never wanted anything flashy and grand. Attention and spotlight were the two things he never wanted to have. Calm and easy, that's how he preferred his life. Shiloh Lumiere Bendia's life was far from what he wanted, she was born for the spotlight. Living under the scrutinizing eyes of the world, Lumiere's life consists of cameras and flashes following her whenever she moves. The world gravitates around her, and everyone who sees her is drawn to her light, including him. The moment he saw her on that stage with the spotlight shining on her, he knew he would spend his whole life admiring her from afar. But with the twist of fate and a little luck, his fate might have changed. A secret moment. A lingering stare. Quick stolen moments behind the camera that no one knows about. But to what extent can they sacrifice for a losing battle they knew they would never win? To love is to risk. To risk requires courage and courage is only found in places we're too scared to take. ---- Date Started: March 2025 Date Finished: June 15, 2025
