Yolo never expected his heart to betray him- least of all for Trever, the guy he loved pissing off, the presence he keeps pretending he isn't desperate to feel again. A basketball varsity player and an architecture student, Yolo always believed his life was simple, predictable, and straight. But growing apart didn't make the feelings disappear. If anything, the distance only made every accidental eye contact sharper, every avoided conversation heavier, every unspoken word louder. And worst of all, Trever's attention is already leaning toward someone else- leaving Yolo with nothing but the ghost of what they used to be. Now Yolo is caught in the cruel tension between wanting and pretending, torn between the safety of denial and the ache that refuses to quiet down. How do you let go of a feeling you were never supposed to have- especially when it's for the one person you never stopped looking for? book cover by sereighn arts

"Not everything bitter stays that way." In the bustling heart of Davao City, where the tropical rain often hums its soothing rhythm, lies a little café glowing with warmth and promise. Sweet & Green is a haven where the delicate bitterness of matcha meets the familiar comfort of Filipino desserts, and where two very different souls find themselves drawn together. Alistair Knox Crane is a grumpy, burnt-out writer nursing wounds he won't admit - scars etched deep by disappointment and solitude. Despite himself, he keeps returning to Mathea Tea Midori's café, seeking refuge in the quiet corners and the gentle sweetness of her creations. Mathea, a sunshine-hearted pastry chef with a knack for turning matcha and native flavors into magic, serves more than just desserts. She offers a sanctuary of kindness without questions and silence without pressure-a rare gift for a man guarded by bitterness. As the rain falls and flavors blend, the walls Alistair built begin to crumble. In the warmth of Mathea's smile and the subtle green of her matcha, he discovers something unexpected: not everything bitter stays that way.
