In a world where everyone wants to be aesthetic, she's used to being admired but never truly seen. Compliments come easy-"You're so pretty!" "You look amazing!"-but no one ever asks, "Are you okay?" For the longest time, she's felt like a painting in a gallery-gazed at, praised, but never really known. Then there's him. He's not the poetic type who spins metaphors about her beauty, nor the mysterious bad boy everyone secretly obsesses over. He's just... him. The kind of person who forgets his umbrella on rainy days, orders the same coffee every morning, and sometimes stumbles over his words when he's excited. The first time they talked, he didn't stare too long. Didn't say she was breathtaking. Instead, he simply asked: "Pagod ka na ba?" And somehow, that meant more than any compliment ever did. With him, she doesn't have to be perfect. She doesn't have to be put together, doesn't have to filter her words or curate every moment. She can be quiet, messy, lost in her thoughts-and still, he stays. He listens. He waits. He makes her feel like she doesn't have to be anyone else but herself. Sometimes, love isn't about grand gestures or heart-fluttering moments. Sometimes, it's just someone who makes space for you, who stays even when the moment isn't aesthetic, even when you're not your best, even when you have nothing to say. And for the first time, she doesn't feel like a painting in a gallery. She feels like she's home.

π‘ͺπ’‚π’†π’π’–π’Ž 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓 π‘«π’š-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍 has spent his life chasing knowledge, not dreams. As the son of renowned biologist Dr. Ciro Sandoval and celebrated model-turned-entrepreneur Sereia Dy-Sandoval, he has grown up in the shadow of a love story that defied all odds. But to him, love is merely an illusion-an ideal shaped by nostalgia and fairytales. That belief wavers when he meets 𝒉𝒆𝒓-a girl who seems to exist in the delicate space between reality and fantasy. She isn't just another fleeting presence in his life; she is a mystery he cannot solve, a contradiction that draws him in despite himself. As fate continues to pull them together, Caelum must decide whether to hold onto his logic or surrender to the unexplainable. Because maybe, just maybe, love isn't just a fantasy-it's a force as real as the stars themselves.

𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒐 π‘«π’š-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍 has always been a man of the arts. Music, painting, poetry-these were not just his passions but the very language of his soul. As a band member and visual artist, his world was a canvas of sound and color. But no matter how many songs he composed or paintings he created, there was one muse he could never erase from his mind-π‘ͺ𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑬𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒂 π‘ͺπ’‚π’”π’•π’Šπ’π’π’. Cadence, the woman who once became the melody of his life. The inspiration behind his music, the story hidden within his every masterpiece. But just like a song that ended too soon, she disappeared, leaving Lucerene with an unfinished symphony and questions that had no answers. Now, fate has given them a second chance. But between the pain of their past and the feelings that never truly faded, can they rewrite the ending of the song they once left unfinished? Or, like a falling star meant only to shine for a fleeting moment, are they destined to burn brightly-only to vanish once more?

π‘ͺ𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 π‘©π’“π’Šπ’ˆπ’‰π’• π‘«π’š-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍 has always lived up to her name-a beacon of light, an unwavering star. As the eldest of the Dy-Sandoval siblings, she carries the weight of expectations with grace, excelling in academics and leadership while secretly longing for something more. Amidst her perfect faΓ§ade, she finds solace in the night sky, where she can dream beyond duty. Then, she meets someone who disrupts her carefully planned life-𝑲𝒐𝒃𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒐𝒏, a star athlete whose passion for sports burns as intensely as her pursuit of excellence. He is reckless where she is careful, spontaneous where she is structured. At first, their worlds seem too different, but with every unexpected encounter, Celest begins to question if the life she's built is truly hers or merely a reflection of what others expect of her. As they navigate societal expectations, personal aspirations, and the unspoken gravity pulling them together, Celest must decide-will she continue shining as the brightest among the stars, or will she dare to reach for something fleeting yet extraordinary, like touching the falling stars?

π‘¨π’–π’“π’†π’π’Šπ’‚ π‘¨π’”π’•π’“π’Šπ’†π’π’π’† π‘«π’š-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍, the twin who burned too brightly-too fiercely-for her own good. She was the wildfire that refused to be tamed, the golden girl who danced on the edge of chaos with a smile that never wavered. She was loud, passionate, and unstoppable. But even the most radiant stars have shadows, and no one ever asked if she was tired of keeping up the act. Then came π’π’†π’Œπ’Šπ’‚π’ π‘Ίπ’π’π’Šπ’” π‘·π’‚π’“π’Œπ’†π’“-the life of the party, the heartbeat of The Skylines, and the guy who could light up any room just by walking in. He was confident, bold, and reckless in the best way possible. If Astrielle was a wildfire, Zekian was the storm that kept it alive. They were two forces of nature-too much alike, too intense, too uncontrollable. They weren't meant to work. But they did. Until they didn't. Because not all stars are meant to stay in the sky. Some collide. Some explode. Some leave behind a brilliance that lingers long after they're gone. When the weight of expectations and unspoken wounds finally catch up to Astrielle, she faces a terrifying truth-what if she's been shining for everyone else but herself? And when the inevitable fall comes, will Zekian, the boy who has always lived like he has nothing to lose, be the one to catch her? A story of passion, chaos, and the kind of love that refuses to fade, even when the stars do.

But after the sudden loss of his father, Ciro, the boy who once saw the world through bright eyes begins to change. Though he still carries his signature charm and carefree smile, there's now a quiet weight behind it-a maturity shaped by grief, responsibility, and the struggle to find himself in the aftermath of loss. Caught between who he was and who he's becoming, Hoshiko finds himself torn between two women who each represent a different path forward. π‘³π’Šπ’π’Šπ’‚ π‘Ίπ’Šπ’Žπ’π’π’† π‘«π’Šπ’›π’π’, his childhood best friend, has always been his safe haven-the person who knows him better than anyone. But as their bond deepens into something more, Hoshiko questions whether love built on familiarity is enough to heal the wounds he refuses to show. Then there's π‘²π’‚π’†π’π’Šπ’•π’‰ π‘¨π’Žπ’‚π’“π’Šπ’” 𝑭𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒛-bold, free-spirited, and completely unpredictable. She challenges him in ways he never expected, pushing him beyond his limits and awakening a side of him that craves something more than just comfort. With Kaelith, every moment is a risk, yet it's the kind of risk that makes him feel alive. As he navigates the blurred lines between love, loss, and self-discovery, Hoshiko must decide: does he hold on to the past that shaped him, or embrace the uncertainty of a future that could change him forever? Beneath the broken sky, he searches for answers-but will he find the courage to face the truth his heart has been avoiding?
