Collection of one shot stories.

Get her life back up. That's what Lirah Celine Celeste put her mind into. And she did. Graduating from college even after being forced to stop and now, working as an assistant in an agency, she was living up to her goal. It was not an easy job, but, she enjoyed every moment of it. She believes that everything else follows as long as you love what you do. Maybe this was also why she was given the opportunity to be the manager of Knite, the agency's most successful talent. She wanted to refuse but after the positive words from her boss, she can't say no. Hence, she accepted the job. It was not a walk in the park, but Lirah always put her best into everything. And so, she handled the band pretty well. She even became close with the four members: Jin, the lead guitarist; Ryu, the keyboardist; Raizelle, the leader and main vocalist; and Blaize, the drummer. Among the four, Blaize was the hardest to tame. They would constantly enter into bickering. Even for the simplest of things. But, those bickering led them closer. Closer than they never thought they would be. And though, they were still mishaps along the way-and the every now and then bickering with Blaize-Lirah thought things were going fine. She firmly believed that finally, she was okay. That she had moved on. That she got her life back up. Not until her past caught up with her present. And reality slapped her hard.

"Do not cross the line." Five words. One line. But it crashed Seb Gallego countless times. Seb, being a middle child, was already used to not being the priority of his parents. It was not an issue with him either. He knew that although his parents don't give him as much attention as his siblings, he was still loved. He has long accepted that he's not the favorite. Not the first choice. Not the priority. He's fine with it. He's fine with everything. Not until he lost in a bet with Yesha, Ellie Santillan's best friend. He has no choice but to be with them and every day was absolutely hellish for him. Yesha was on a different level of annoying and irritating in every sense of it-exactly the last kind of person he wanted to be with. But as days passed, he witnessed how Ellie takes care of her best friend no matter how annoying she was. He witnessed how Ellie always chooses her. How she pushes everything behind so she can focus on her. And her alone. She was Ellie's priority. That's when he realized, no, he was not used to being not prioritized; that's just what he made himself believe to ease the pain. To escape from the pain. Little did he know that what he admired most about Ellie was the same exact thing that would shatter him. Not only once. But over and over again.

Just when you thought everything's falling into its place... Shit happens.
