One of the boys, Alfredalae Moren Zamora, stands as an image of a beautiful lady with a heart of a man: tough, resilient, and brave-just like her father, whom she's living with alone. After her sister died of cancer and her mother left for another family, Moren only had her papa to rely on. Even so, she has four 'boy friends'. The most annoying one is Ross, her childhood bestie, aka ENEMY. She hated him first. He hated her more. Eight words. Sigurado na si Moren na babae ang gusto niya. Hindi lalaki. At mas lalong hindi si Ross! Pero kapag inatake ka nga naman ng kamalasan, hindi ka makaiiwas. Moren unintentionally did something wrong. As a consequence, she has to act like a girl and pretend to be in love with Ross. All that to help him win Celine, his dream girl. From squabbling and petty fights, how will Ross and Moren make everyone believe they are together? Will Moren be able to help Ross win? Or will she find herself losing first? Will their eight words stay the same? Or will the fake dating proceed to something else? Ended: January 2022
