Ranette Faye Sefuentes has spent her whole life being measured by what she could give. Not loved for who she was, but valued for what she was supposed to become. A future provider, a promise her parents built their survival on. And when she couldn't live up to it, the weight of their disappointment hollowed her out. Worthlessness settled into her bones, and she learned to endure it quietly: behind long sleeves, behind silence, behind a version of herself that never felt enough. Pain became something she managed alone. No noise. No complaints. Just the familiar sting of a blade and the numb comfort it left behind. Until him. He's the kind who notices what everyone else overlooks. The tightness in her breath, the fading bruises of her exhaustion, the way she disappears into herself when the world asks too much. Gentle where she is guarded, patient where she is breaking, he becomes the one person who stays without asking her to be anything more than what she already is. But when Ranette vanishes after graduation, convinced she is too fractured to offer anyone a future, he lets her go, yet carries her with him through the years that follow. And when life brings them together again, neither of them are who they used to be. The wounds she hid are still tender, the shadows still familiar. But he remains steady, holding space for her darkness without fear, and holding the pieces she once threw away.

Kei Aeron Virell spent ten years loving someone who never stayed. When it ended, he was left with silence, scars, and only half of himself to carry forward. Then came Neriah Solene Dava. Fierce, kind, and broken in her own way. She believed in honesty, in second chances, and in not settling for almosts. She reminded him it was okay to feel, to rest, and to begin again. But love isn't easy when everyone is still healing. Kei's heart is still tethered to the past. Neriah's torn between two families that never felt whole. And his ex is still haunted by a love that made him believe he wasn't worth keeping. They're all carrying halves. Of guilt, of love, of grief. As old wounds resurface and feelings grow too loud to ignore, Kei and Neriah must decide: can two broken people make something whole? Or are they just pieces in a story that was never meant to fit? Because sometimes, love doesn't ask for everything. Just the half you're brave enough to give.

‎For Leigh Simone Villarreal, summer was supposed to be the happiest season of her life. It was the season she first fell in love with Sebastian Morelli, and the season she thought she would marry him. But in that same summer, he broke her heart in ways she never imagined. And just as everything fell apart, she mysteriously wakes up ten years in the past, back to the summer of her senior year. This time, things are different. She crosses paths with Zen Serrano, a boy she never noticed before, and begins to realize that one choice, one moment, can change everything. Now, torn between the love she once fought for and the unexpected bond she's found, Leigh must decide if love is about holding on to the past or daring to chase a new future.

Keira and Dylan met at the very start of their careers-two rising actors thrown together under the bright lights of the industry. Their chemistry was undeniable, on-screen and off. But when the pressure of expectations, criticism, and self-doubt became too much, Keira walked away. She convinced herself she wasn't ready, that she needed time to be worthy of standing beside him. Years later, fate reunites them on a new film set. He's moved on-at least, that's what everyone believes. She's determined to start over, to prove she was wrong to leave. But between them stands everything unsaid: regret, jealousy, and the ghosts of what could have been. As rehearsals blur the lines between fiction and reality, past wounds resurface, forcing them to confront the roles they played in each other's heartbreak. This time, Keira refuses to run. But in love, as in acting, timing is everything. And in a world where emotions are scripted and every moment is captured for an audience, they must decide-are they just another scene in each other's story, or is this their second chance? After all, love-like film-is full of outtakes. But sometimes, the best moments are the ones that were never meant to happen.

"Hating the one thing you love is a pain worse than losing it." - Wynther Fynne Clemenceau Wynther never had a dream-until he heard his father play the bass. In that moment, music became his purpose, his passion, his future. He dreamed of standing onstage, a bass in his hands, performing alongside the man who inspired him. But fate had other plans. His father's sudden death shattered his world, taking his dream with it. The music that once filled his heart with fire became a reminder of everything he lost. So, he let it go. For three years, Wynther drifted through life in muted grays-until he met Luna. Vibrant, stubborn, and full of dreams, she saw the light in him that he had long forgotten. She pulled him back into the music, back into the dream he thought he had buried. With her, the stage didn't seem so far away. With her, the dream didn't feel empty. With her, his world had color again. But love and loss have always played the same cruel tune in his life. And when Luna disappears, Wynther is left with only echoes of melodies they once shared-memories strung together by pain and longing. Will he walk away from music once more? Or will he learn that some dreams, even in the face of heartbreak, are worth chasing?

Semi never dreamed of love-she only wanted to survive. Juggling multiple jobs and keeping everyone at arm's length, she built walls too high for anyone to climb. Until Teo came along. Wealthy, persistent, and utterly smitten, he had no business chasing after a girl like her. Yet, he did. She let him stay-not because she believed in love, but because she liked his presence. And for the first time, someone made her feel like she wasn't just rust-like she could be something beautiful, like roses blooming through the cracks of her broken past. But when her violent father resurfaces, demanding the money she never spent, and the mother who abandoned her turns out to be tied to Teo's world in the worst way possible, Semi is forced to confront the reality she tried to escape. A painful betrayal, a cruel promise, and a desperate choice threaten to pull them apart. Yet, Teo refuses to let go. Even when she runs. Even when she breaks. Even when she tells him it's over. Because for Teo, Semi isn't just someone he loves-she's his home. And he'll do anything to keep her.

"When you choose to love, you must understand from the very beginning that pain is inevitable." - Zyrelle Dayne Locre Zyrelle never believed in perfect endings, but she thought their love could withstand anything. From the moment she met Dwayne in college-ruining his thesis and nearly his future-they were caught in a whirlwind of conflict, friendship, and, eventually, love. She stood by him, believed in him, and when the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking, she was the one who pushed him toward it, even when he didn't want to go. She promised to wait. He promised to return. But distance is a cruel thing. When whispers of betrayal reached her, she refused to believe them-until she saw the truth with her own eyes. The man she loved, the man she had waited for, lay in a bed that was no longer just theirs. She walked away without a word, carrying nothing but the weight of regret. Three years later, Zyrelle is still piecing herself back together, but the scars of the past remain. Some choices are impossible to undo, and some pains never truly fade. But when fate forces their paths to cross once more, she must decide-will she keep running from the past, or will she finally face the shadow of what they once were?
