After three years apart, Hallory and Navy cross paths again-still single, still stuck on their love interests who friend-zoned them long ago. One night, a few drinks lead to drunk texts, and soon their old college crushes, Dagitab and Ambrose, show up. They've always wondered what their crushes' lips taste like. Fuck that three years of fantasizing! To taste it once is enough. And if that kiss ruins the friendship they have with them? That's tomorrow's problem.

When Emillion Kit, the golden boy academic achiever, collides with Zyjack Yrmann, the underground fighter with nothing to lose, sparks ignite into a rivalry neither can escape. They were meant to hate each other―top scholar versus top athlete, fire against fire. Their battle for pride and survival spans brutal gang wars, buried identities, toxic masculinity, stereotypes, homophobia, politics, and family scandals―while the terrifying pull of first love threatens to shatter everything. In the end, they'll discover that the ultimate code isn't about brotherhood or what people say―"bros before hoes"―but about love that dares to break every rule. The bro code said no; their hearts said otherwise. Who will they obey?

In 1944, amidst the chaos of World War II, a soldier and a pauper painter found love―at a time when such love was deemed a grave sin. The painting survives long after the men are gone, but its truth remains buried in silence and shame. Decades later, a 21st-century photographer stumbles upon it. As he unravels the mystery of its creator, he also uncovers a story of love defiant against time, prejudice, and war. But will he lay bare the artist behind the Naked Soldier―or will the search instead strip him bare of his own carefully guarded disguise? ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ Language: ENGLISH-FILIPINO Genre: BOYS' LOVE Date started: AUG. 9, 2023 Date finished: AUG. 12, 2023 Type: NOVELLA Word count: 18,000 Status: COMPLETED
