One summer. One stranger. One story they never meant to write together. Caught covering for his troublemaker friend, Caster Alaric Troy Callisto finds himself in the middle of a scandal that forces the school dean to involve their parents. In order for him to breathe, Caster's parents send him away alone to their vacation house in Cebu. That's where he meets Levaunni Mikhail Orlova, a journalism student, who's competing for LHEPC. Callisto tends to be the kind of person who is known, remembered, and approached first. He is also the type to forget people's faces and names, simply because he doesn't make the effort to remember them. But after that one encounter with Orlova, he doesn't just remember him, he lingers in his thoughts and stirs his curiosity. For the first time, he takes the initiative to approach someone first, wanting to know him better. Yet, what lies on the other side of that connection may be the very thing that keeps pushes his curiosity into another level. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
