Beneath the polished glass and billion-peso brilliance lies a scandal powerful enough to destroy its young CEO. Maze. Every lead pulls Ava deeper into his world. Every encounter blurs the line between past and present. The boy she once fought now stands before her as a man she can no longer read-and perhaps, never truly forgot. As truths unravel and tensions rise, ambition collides with something far more dangerous: unfinished love. In a game built on power, pride, and buried emotions, only one foundation will survive.

Claire, a famous actress and author, has finally agreed to let her bestselling work be adapted into a live production with one strict condition: she gets a say in the casting. But what happens if the management casts her ex-crush slash the man she has a petty little beef with as the male lead? To make things even more complicated, Claire herself has been chosen as the female lead.

Almost was never enough. The most is where it all lies; the second is no different from losers. If you want to be chosen, be the best among the options-a sweet rule to every test, a bitter reality Eiah was raised in. She gives everything a hard try, even though she can't grasp it all just right. Maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe she needs to work harder. Maybe she's really... almost there. Whatever it is, she's determined to prove her father she's worthy of her name-but heck, not to the point of marriage! That's why, when he demanded that she get engaged while still in college, she had to 'call a friend', Chase, an accounting junior who has kissed girls everywhere. They had to level up their call sign. From bes to babe, will fake couple rings work? Or was it, again, just another almost? Almost the right move; apparently not the best. Maybe they should've just sat with their friendship bracelets rather than become almost too-almost what they aren't meant to be, almost everything they could no longer be.

[Unedited] WCS 1: Threads of Oxytocin Minsan, may mga bagay na hindi mo kayang ipaliwanag. May mga pagkakataon na kahit anong pilit mong kontrolin, hindi mo pa rin matitimbang ang mga nangyayari. May mga koneksyon sa buhay natin na hindi mo alam kung paano nagsimula. Pero isang araw, mapapansin mo na lang na tila nakatakda talaga ang lahat. Para bang ang bawat hibla ng sinulid ng tadhana ay humuhubog ng isang kwento. Isang kwento ng pag-ibig, sakit, at pagkakaibigan. Just like oxytocin, the hormone responsible for love, bonding, and trust. There are connections you can't explain, bonds that tie you to someone when you least expect it. It's the invisible thread that pulls you closer, even when you're fighting against it. In the bustling halls of Eastbridge School of Medicine, two paths would cross. And, in the midst of sleepless nights, high stakes, and endless pressure, would they discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and maybe... even love? With every connection comes a challenge, and their threads would be tested in ways neither of them had imagined. As their lives intertwine, one question remains: Would their threads still hold together?
