In a world where academics come first, Robin Villamor never expected to fall for someone so deeply. As a first-year Computer Science student and a consistent Dean's Lister, he always thought love could wait. But everything changed when he met someone who seemed perfect in every way-until things took a turn for the worst. With heartbreak and unexpected goodbyes, Robin must navigate the pain and find himself again, all while balancing the pressures of university life.

What if the only dream that keeps you alive... is the one you can barely afford to chase? Elian Ramos, a 20-year-old tourism student, only wants two things in life: To become a flight attendant like his late father, and to take his sick mom to the places they used to dream of. He's a full-time student, a part-time service crew in a Japanese restaurant, and a full-time caregiver to the only person he has left. Between exams, overtime shifts, and unspoken grief, Elian has mastered the art of surviving. Until Mark comes in, a nursing student with a soft voice, warm eyes, and a kind of calm Elian isn't used to. But not every journey goes as planned. And sometimes, the hardest part of chasing dreams is surviving the reality that comes with them.
