Iriah Gaelle Noelle Zamora
By day, she's the face on the billboards. A model. Smile. Don't blink. Six hours straight.
By night, she's the voice and the fingers behind the piano of J'coeur Band.
A secret she has to keep.
Because if her agency finds out, her career is over.
That's why she's always tired. Always running. Always late.
And that's why he's always mad at her.
Caine Alistair Valeria Fausto.
The band's bassist. Cold. Hot-headed. Nonchalant.
The leader. The perfectionist. The cousin of her best friends.
For Alistair, discipline is everything. Being late is disrespect.
For Iriah, "5 minutes lang" is a way of life.
They fight with rules and silence.
But on stage, with only a foot of space between them,
they sing "I'll keep on loving you" to a crowd that has no idea
that they're the ones falling apart.
Sa J'coeur, ngingiti kami. Tutugtog kami.
Magpapanggap kaming okay kami.
Pero sa totoo?
Kami mismo yung nagkakabasag-basag.
