*** Pinagtagpo sila dahil sa isang misyon, pinaglayo ng galit at sakit. Ngunit sa muli nilang pagkikita, hindi na emosyon o kung ano pa man ang pipigil sa kanilang nararamdaman, kundi ang naging bunga ng gabing minsan nilang pinagsaluhan. "You deserve someone better, Mom. Yung matinong lalaki at hindi kagaya ng biologic dad ko. Someone like... Tito Duke." "That's it! You are definitely going back inside my balls! And if there's a chance that you come out again, sa inodoro na kita ipuputok!" "See what I mean, mom? My father's really an as*hole." April 22, 2025

Adriel Gaze Arnoult has everything--wealth, looks, and a last name that carries weight. But despite his privileged life, the one person who keeps him grounded is his college bestfriend, Gaea Carlaine Romero. They have been inseparable since college, swearing they'll never be like those cliche best friends who fall in love. To Gaea, romance with Adriel has always been unthinkable. He's reckless, arrogant, and dangerously magnetic-everything she swore to avoid. Their friendship is the only thing she trusts, and losing it would destroy her. But when a long-buried secret comes to light, their carefully built walls begin to crumble. A single moment of weakness ignites something neither of them can deny. Late-night talks turn into forbidden confessions, fleeting touches burn into memory, and the fear of losing each other twists into something darker, more consuming. Now, caught between desire and destruction, Adriel and Gaea must decide: will they risk everything for a love that could save them-or ruin them completely?

Ayaw ni Dasha ng nahihirapan. Kung saan sa tingin niya ay magiging madali para sa kanya, iyon ang pinipili niyang daan. She didn't like taking risks because it only meant having the chance to lose as much. She didn't like giving her all to something she knew she would have to let go in the end. Kaya nang mapagtanto ang unti-unting umuusbong na nararamdaman para sa kanyang kaibigan, sinubukan niya iyong kalimutan. She couldn't imagine losing him in the middle of this endless mist getting in between them. But the more she tried to get rid of her feelings, the more their thread grew stronger - so much that she devastatingly developed a desire to change herself, so he would notice her as a 'girl' he could date and fall so hard for, not his 'best muscle buddy' he could play baseball with anytime he wanted. Ayaw niya ng nahihirapan, ngunit sa unang pagkakataon, sinubukan niyang sumugal - isang bagay na pinangako niya sa sariling hindi niya kailanman pagsisisihan... ...not when all the risks were worth taking for her best friend.
