At Seiren Private Academy, there's a clear rule: never mess with the top of the food chain. So when number-one-since-forever Kiyotaka Ayanokouji meets the newly transferred Russian ice queen, Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou---who just aced the hardest entrance exam in school history---naturally, things should stay quiet. But Alya's glares are sharper than midterms, her tsundere barbs hide behind a veil of Russian muttering... and Ayanokouji, who definitely understands Russian, just plays dumb for fun. Genius meets genius. Seatmates. War begins. Also, no one knows why pigeons keep showing up outside their window. Probably unrelated. *** A/N: Kiyataka enrolled since the first year of Junior High. And never hold back. Expect White Room students.

It began with a drunken kiss and ended with a kiss full of love. *** Maleha's life seemed perfect with a great job, her own condo, and a loving boyfriend, Jero-until he cheated, turning her world upside down. After breaking up, she found comfort in Arion, a friend's cousin. They made an agreement to help her forget Jero, promising not to fall in love. But as time passed, their connection deepened. When past lies and misunderstandings caused chaos, Maleha's life spiraled further, and painful choices had to be made. With love and betrayal at play, will Maleha and Arion find a way through the heartbreak? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish, a combination of Tagalog & English. COVER DESIGN: Louise De Ramos
