[BL story] Ares Vaughn is trouble wrapped in charm... rich, reckless, and untouchably free. When his family sends him to their ancestral ranch to straighten out his life, he expects boredom, rules, and isolation. What he doesn't expect is Orion. Orion is everything. Disiplinado, hard-working, at tapat sa trabaho. Their first encounters are fire and sparks, filled with clashing egos and constant bickering. Para silang aso't pusa na nag-aaway. Walang ayaw magpatalo, parehas may gustong patunayan. But behind the hostility, desire simmers. When Orion confesses his feelings, Ares is forced to confront the chaos of his own heart. Straight? That's what he claims, but some truths are louder than words. What begins as a reckless attraction turns into a fragile, passionate bond. Yet, some secrets refuse to stay buried. A revelation threatens to destroy everything they've built, leaving them burned... and bound in ways they never imagined.

this is a bl story! Two chasers, a journalist who's chasing what he left behind. And a barista, who's chasing the goodness of his past. Both chasing their yesterdays, so they might finally see how beautiful their tomorrow could be. 𓍼 It all started when Elisian Hendery Tuazon Tolentino and Jandrix Noah Alcantara Aquino, childhood best friends, reunited at their high school reunion. Their gazes met, sparking flashes of memories - like scenes from an old film. Noah and Eli's story was a long one - woven with friendship, connection, care, love and trust. But one truth remained, Eli knew it would never be the same again. Noah had left without a word, and Eli's fear of abandonment twisted into anger, and made him hate the latter's guts and existence. A reunion? Perhaps it was the coming together of two hearts that had been separated for years, trying to reconnect, only to discover a deeper bond than before. One will come to realize that he'll bend what's been rigid within him, all for the sake of his feelings. And maybe - just maybe - their chase for their yesterdays will finally come to an end. cover by: yours truly. .ᐟ ps : this is unedited so i'm sorry for all the errors. :)
