Two men. One secret conversation. A truth that broke everything. Tyler hated Mikael long before he fell for him, and falling for him might be the one thing he can't charm his way out of. *** Tyler Coast Alderidge Cervando has always had everything, except genuine connection. Charming and privileged, he returns to the Philippines for college carrying ambition and old grudges. Chief among them: Mikael Jasver Chua, the last person Tyler expects to matter to him. What begins as rivalry quietly shifts when an anonymous late-night conversation strips away titles, wealth, and walls, and two people begin to see each other clearly for the first time. But when the truth surfaces, so does the damage. Tyler & Mikael is a story about what happens when two people who were never supposed to fall in love... already have.

One fateful encounter left Rafael hopelessly thinking about the guy he kissed at his friend's party-the guy whose name he forgot to ask before he left. He wanted to find him. God, he wanted to. But he didn't want to look desperate. So Rafael convinced himself that if it was meant to be, they would meet again. He never expected it to happen during his first month of college, though. He saw him. Or did he? Was the guy standing in front of him really the same person he kissed? Because when Rafael asked, the guy insisted he wasn't at that party. Had Rafael imagined the whole thing? Had he been too drunk that night? Or did he simply remember his face wrong? But he could swear they looked exactly alike. The same face.
The same dimples. Yet Rafael felt nothing. Not the slightest spark. Not even a flutter in his chest. He was certain this wasn't the same guy. And he was right. Because when Rafael finally saw the real him again, his heart knew before his mind could catch up. His heartbeat quickened. His nerves came alive. A quiet certainty settled within him. Every part of him knew. It was him. BL On-going 🖇️ Date Started: February 18, 2026 Date Finished: ****
