To Leroy, it was always a challenge to keep up with someone who demanded so much. But everything changed when Christopher Titus Reyes made his move, threatening to unravel Leroy's sanity. Naguguluhan kasi siya kay Titus. Urong-sulong. Sweet ngayon, bukas hindi na. In short, walang paninindigan! Sino ba naman kasi 'yang lalaking 'yan? Eh mas matangkad naman siya diyan. But what frustrated Leroy even more was that, despite the situation he had with Titus, why did it feel like he could never distance himself from this guy? What was it about him?

When you are paired with someone who matches your personality and follows the same routine as you, that's how connection and, eventually, love bloom. As per Zern Josh Villarama and Victorino Caiden Flynn, it was the opposite. They could replace the definition of ditto. But despite that, they could not get along. Because Caiden hates gays and Zern proudly lists himself on Caiden's hate list.

No matter where they go, fate leads them to the same place at the same time. Can enemies, torn by hate, be drawn happily together in the end? Is it possible for two people who despise each other to fall in love despite the odds? How can they fix the dissonance, when their similarities only fuel their hatred? Can two souls, so alike yet torn apart by bitterness, ever find harmony and turn their conflict into something beautiful, something worth fighting for?

When Franco moved to Manila for college, he told himself that he'll experience everything there is to experience. And he did. His first year could be considered as... scandalous, to say the least. So when his sophomore year came, he promised himself that he'll do better para na rin sa future niya. He intended to join this prestigious organization that would surely help his career in the future. When Franco joined AIESEC, he knew his life would change... little did he know, magbabago talaga ang buhay niya nang makilala niya si Joaquin Lorenzo Santillan-the perfect student who's beloved by everyone. Franco was in awe. Every where Joaquin goes, his presence commanded respect. His presence was magnetic, his smile effortless, his charm undeniable. And he was nice-so nice that Franco unknowingly followed him around, like he was orbiting around Joaquin's magnetic presence, eager for him to be noticed. Akala ni Franco ay okay ang lahat.

But one night, few beers after, his world seemingly collapsed when Joaquin stared him in the eye and said, "In case there's any confusion, let me make it clear-I'm not gay." Franco's world tilted on its axis, crumbling in an instant. Now, his mission was simple: survival. Avoid Joaquin at all costs. Erase the memory of that moment, of those eyes, of the touch that seemed to linger impossibly on his skin. Little did he know, some marks aren't so easily erased.
