Nicholas Alejandro Yaco has mastered the art of pretending. To his circles, he is reckless, desired, and untouchable. In truth, he is none of those things. He is a virgin hiding behind bravado.

The quiet in the apartment became a special place for Alexis Dwayne Villavicencio, the landlord, and Jared Clark Santiago, the tenant. They did their usual things, and their daily routines became a habit. Alexis loved art. He was passionate about painting and creating beautiful things. Jared was a basketball player. Sports were his world, and he dreamed of making it big. At first, they were just strangers. But over time, they became best friends. They shared stories, helped each other, and laughed a lot. It felt like they had known each other forever. But one day, everything changed. The wind shifted, and suddenly, those best friends became strangers again? The closeness disappeared, and a secret they kept was suddenly revealed. A secret that could change everything. It wasn't just about love. It was about a promise, a choice, and a truth that was never meant to be spoken. Because if the wrong person found out... someone's future or life could be destroyed. But what was the secret they tried so hard to protect? Why couldn't they tell anyone, not even the people they trusted most? And now that it's out... who's willing to walk away, and who's willing to fight for the truth? What if their past was the reason? Their past was the reason everything fell apart so fast from strangers to best friends, and then back to strangers.

"Life itself has its own story. Have you ever wondered if our lives have their own book, then who's the author? Just like Kenmarl, who believes that his life isn't just a span of time he's destined to live in this world and wait for the final chapter to close. He keeps on asking whose hand is writing his story, when he can't even understand the pages he's been going through. The plot twist he thinks is just a loophole the unknown author didn't notice... until one accidental kiss snaps everything and turns every page of his life into something he didn't think to happen."
