Pablo Bagnas (John Paulo Nase), a talented barista with a passion for coffee, runs Una Café alongside his quirky, loyal friends. One stormy night, Ken Suson (Felip Jhon Suson), a reserved yet curious man, stumbles into the café, seeking shelter, and discovers more than just the best caramel macchiato he has ever tasted in this lifetime. Night after night, he keeps on coming back, making himself believe he's just after his cup of coffee and pastry but jokes on him. His frequent coffee excuses may or may not be visible for the pretty barista who's working on a last minute but Ken knows he's not just into the divine caramel macchiato or the latte arts for he wanted to believe the barista behind the counter might just be the missing piece of his subject and heart.

Ken Dumpit is a self-proclaimed heartthrob and a certified playboy. He's charming, overconfident, at para bang laging may bagong future wife kada linggo. Subalit, lahat ng kalokohang alam niya sa pagpapaikot sa mga babae ay tila nawalan ng saysay nang makilala niya ang ultimate game-changer na si Paulo, ang tahimik at observant na tao na tulad niya'y certified foodie rin. They're total opposites; bittersweet and warm, rough and soft, cookies and cream and there's something about Paulo na lagi niyang binabalik-balikan. For the first time, Ken might just be down bad... tapos sa isa pang lalaki. Ang masaklap lang doon, mukhang hindi pa siya type nito.

For Paul (Pablo Nase), Wednesday is just a typical day at the Eighteen's Coffeehouse not until one Wednesday morning, a guy in corporate attire walks inside. What's odd is that he likes his coffee iced despite of the fact that it started raining outside. However, Paul didn't question it, clearly knowing that he was in no position over it. A series of Wednesdays have passed and the guy in the name of Sky (Stell Ajero) always comes by. Paul doesn't even know why Wednesday became so essential to him all of a sudden. It made him even more eager than usual. The guy sometimes comes in the morning or at lunch or maybe before he goes home but he won't miss any other day but Paul's now favorite day. It's still a mystery for him but he can't even utter a thing to talk to him than the usual pleasantries whenever the guy is standing before him. To say the least, he's so lost in the other man's beauty that his mind is completely blown away every time he beams at him until one particular Wednesday afternoon comes...

"She carries emotional baggage. He carries unmatched audacity." Lloyd Ramona Felecio, a beautiful disaster wrapped in pink blouses and unhealed wounds just wanted caffeine and silence.

He was an annoying and softhearted menace who have loved her and keeps on loving her silently from the sidelines. Every time he shows up, it irks her guts.

She's not so sure if she wants to strangle him or shove him off a cliff just to buy herself a minute of peace... but maybe it depends on the coffee counts. However, there are some nights were she thought, what if running away wasn't survival but just all her constant fears? And what if choosing him, or rather herself, is the bravest thing she will ever do? That, she wouldn't know, unless she'll stop blaming the world and do something about it. #8lettersNovellaWritingMonth #WriMo8L #8LNovellaChallenge
