Kairos Levi Soledad de Merced was chaos and wildness altogether. A lover of the world and all the pleasures it has to offer. Love and commitment? That never existed in his vocabulary. He was the type to give you the highs and all the best things in life, leaving you wanting more, only to be forgotten by him the next day. Chasing the wild tide of life and living without inhibitions was his way of life. He prefers all things physical and casual. He wants his life to be simple, easy, and hot- the same way he wants his woman to be. Ma. Anisa Sta Ines is smart, confident, strong-willed.... and smart again. Matalino, matapang, magaling. Pero hindi maganda. All her life, she has been nothing but an extra in everyone's story. The wingman, the third wheel, and the go-to person for everyone interested in her friends. She knew she was never meant to be chosen, never meant to be pursued. She was the calm of a Wednesday morning; The stability that people usually take for granted. But her stability and peace ceased to exist when Kairos rejected her love letter in front of the whole Eunthastica. Not because he rejected her in front of the whole school. But because the letter wasn't for him, it was supposed to be for Iñigo, his cousin. ---- Started: June 2025 Completed: September 2025

[BOYS' LOVE] My champagne problem is that you and I are opposites, at least for me, but the world insists we are the same. We are bonded. We are one. And I despise it. ⋆౨ৎ⋅˚₊‧⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅‧₊˚ ⋅୨ৎ⋆ He swore he would never fall in love with someone shorter than him. That was Leroy Leonel Borromeo's silent rule ever since he began exploring his sexuality. His family was perfect. His friends were closely bonded. But Leroy's love life? A complete mess. He had never been one for committed relationships. To Leroy, it was always a challenge to keep up with someone who demanded too much. But everything changed when Christopher Titus Reyes made his move, threatening to unravel Leroy's sanity. Naguguluhan kasi siya kay Titus. Urong-sulong. Sweet ngayon, bukas hindi na. In short, walang paninindigan! Sino ba naman kasi 'yang lalaking 'yan? Eh mas matangkad naman siya diyan. But what frustrated Leroy even more was that, despite everything, he could never truly distance himself from Titus. What was it about this guy? Why were they always drawn together, yet still so far apart? They were never certain what they were. Friends, lovers, or something in between. Yet somewhere between holding on and letting go, could they discover what would eventually become theirs?

Despite his beauty and the countless men who made their move to him, he didn't entertain any of them. He may look innocent, but he knows how to handle himself, especially men. His only goal, when he and his friends transferred to a new university for their final year, was to graduate. Build a house for him and his grandmother. Have a stable job and live a happy life. Not until he met his roommate, Ashton Rize Tecson, a fiery, tall, basketball player from Summit Peak University known for his frigid aura. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't smile that much. In short, Ashton is the ultimate opposite of Beniel's type; the least Beniel could do is not fall for him. But he did. Were the looks and intimacy enough for love to bloom, or was love more than just what we see and feel? Were the sayings proved that having a crush on someone was just a phase? What happens when two opposites collide? What could go wrong when you place something where it simply doesn't belong? Like water on fire, or a flower in a volcano.

When you are paired with someone who matches your personality and follows the same routine as you, that's how connection and, eventually, love bloom.

Is it possible for two people who despise each other to fall in love despite the odds? How can they fix the dissonance, when their similarities only fuel their hatred?
