TAGALOG STORY -- Sage Brawn has been known all his life as an androgynous man, blessed with both striking looks and intelligence. Half-Australian, he comes from a lower-class background in the Philippines, facing struggles not just because of poverty but also due to the complexities of his identity. Now in his second year of college, Sage is pursuing a degree in psychology. Despite his outer beauty, he's mastered the art of keeping people at arm's length-afraid of being seen too closely. Raven Kiez Saw, on the other hand, is known around campus for his arrogance. A political science student, he's been overly blessed in the looks department but perpetually unlucky in love. Coming from an upper-class family of doctors and lawyers, Kiez seems to have it all-status, attention, and temptation at his fingertips. Yet no one has ever held his interest long enough to keep him still. That is, until one ordinary afternoon in the campus garden, when his eyes land on someone unexpected: a guy with a face that could grace billboards, but with shoulders slumped like he's carrying the weight of the world. For reasons he can't explain-and maybe doesn't want to-Kiez feels something spark beneath his skin. It's not just curiosity anymore; it's something darker, heavier, warmer. His gaze lingers longer than it should, wondering how someone who looks like *that* could wear so much sorrow. And worse, why it makes him want to get closer. That single glance turns into the start of something neither of them planned. What begins as stolen looks turns into tension-filled encounters-late-night conversations where words slip too close to the edge, accidental touches that burn more than they should, and silences so thick they could be cut with a knife. Their worlds start to collide, and soon, the line between danger and desire becomes almost impossible to see. In the quiet corners of the campus where no one's watching, something starts to bloom-something tender, magnetic, and hard to resist.

Yolo never expected his heart to betray him- least of all for Trever, the guy he loved pissing off, the presence he keeps pretending he isn't desperate to feel again. A basketball varsity player and an architecture student, Yolo always believed his life was simple, predictable, and straight. But growing apart didn't make the feelings disappear. If anything, the distance only made every accidental eye contact sharper, every avoided conversation heavier, every unspoken word louder. And worst of all, Trever's attention is already leaning toward someone else- leaving Yolo with nothing but the ghost of what they used to be. Now Yolo is caught in the cruel tension between wanting and pretending, torn between the safety of denial and the ache that refuses to quiet down. How do you let go of a feeling you were never supposed to have- especially when it's for the one person you never stopped looking for? book cover by sereighn arts

Freshly adopted by a childless couple working in a secluded hacienda, Yohan began his journey as an outsider in the wealthy Spanish clan of the Tarraniagas. With an assertive spirit and a great passion for fashion, Yohan caught the attention of the smug and snobby heir of the rich family--Kidlat Tarraniaga. An encounter that sparked an unexpected transformation in both of their lives. Kidlat's past carries a secret that confines him only to the Hacienda, with school being his only escape. This restriction bound him closely to Yohan, who became his constant companion within the estate's limits. As they spent day after day together, their friendship deepened, setting the stage for a relationship that started to blur the lines between platonic affection... and something more profound. Kidlat, initially a tormenting presence as relentless and intimidating as a thunderstorm, begins to show a different face, one that Yohan never anticipated. He was exactly just like the thunder that Yohan feared: powerful, commanding, and inexplicably compelling. Yohan has always bowed his head to the thunder, a ritual of reverence and submission. Little did he know, there would come a time and a place where the thunder itself would go to bow its head. (Passion Series #1) Passion for Fashion Date started: November 10, 2023 Date ended:
