Meanwhile, a handsome single father enters the picture, sparking an unexpected romance subplot that Stell is determined to play matchmaker for.

Risa Quijano's life is a series of flat notes. A struggling songwriter with a mountain of bills, she thinks her luck has finally changed when she lands an interview at Vibe Records. That is, until she spills a double-shot Americano all over the pristine white suit of Stell Ajero-the company's brilliant, sharp-tongued, and terrifyingly perfectionist CEO. Instead of suing her, Stell hires her. His reason? He needs someone "brave enough to be a disaster" to manage his chaotic life. But life at Vibe Records is a battlefield. Risa is caught between two worlds. As the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Risa realizes that working for Stell isn't just about organizing schedules-it's about finding the music in the silence between them. But when office politics, a budget-obsessed CFO named Erick, and a looming scandal threaten to tear the company apart, Risa must decide: Is she just a temporary employee, or is she the missing bridge to Stell's heart?

At 2:00 AM, Stell Ajero's world is made of vanilla bean, measured grams, and the rhythmic hum of industrial ovens. As the head pastry chef of Cloud 9, his life is a predictable, sweet science-until Ken Suson walks through the door, damp from the rain and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. One is a baker who finds peace in the silence of the night; the other is a dancer lost in the noise of his own head. What starts as a late-night refuge from the pressure of the spotlight soon turns into a recipe for something deeper. Between flour-dusted confessions and buttercream lessons, the lines between friendship and "something more" begin to blur. In the heat of the kitchen, they'll discover that some things are worth more than a temporary moment of joy. Some things are meant to be savored forever.

In 1896, Stell was the golden voice of the revolution-a kundiman singer whose melodies carried secrets of the Katipunan. But when a Spanish bullet finds its mark in a bloody courtyard in Intramuros, his song is cut short. He expected the afterlife. He didn't expect to wake up in a sterile hospital room in 2026. Now trapped in the body of a modern-day P-pop trainee with a failing career, Stell is a "fish out of water" in a world of TikTok, iced coffee, and "metal carriages" that move without horses. To make matters worse, his savior is Ken, the cold, cutthroat CEO of a massive entertainment empire who looks exactly like the officer Stell failed to save a century ago. Ken has no time for "nonsense." To him, Stell is just a talented but eccentric artist who suddenly started speaking like a 19th-century poet after a fainting spell. But when Stell begins reciting family secrets that were buried in 1896 and showing "magic" that makes the city air turn sweet, Ken's logic begins to crumble. Bound by a mysterious ancient seal on their wrists, the CEO is forced to take the "ancient intern" under his wing. But as the melody of the past begins to harmonize with the chaos of the present, they both realize that some debts aren't paid in gold-they're paid in soul.

A beloved Literature Professor at a top-tier Tokyo university, he has spent his twenties convinced that a "traditional" life is his only path to happiness: a stable job, a beautiful wife, and a house filled with children.
