Bar Series #2 Love for brewed coffee. That is one thing that Asha Montemayor and Skater Mejia have in common. Unang nakita ni Asha si Skater sa event ng company ng binata kung saan siya ang barista sa coffee booth. Asha is deeply aware that it wasn't love at first sight. In fact, it was hate at first sight. Possible ba 'yon? You just hate the person kahit na wala naman itong ginagawa sa 'yo. You just hate the mere fact that he is standing next to you. Or maybe it wasn't what Asha hated; it was the fact that Skater was paying attention to her. Asha just hates it when people care for her because she grew up not needing that care. Being dependent on someone else is the last thing she wants. Skater showing care means the man can see through her facade. She's not strong; that is why she wanted to become a lawyer-to be strong enough to fight for her rights. Love for brewed coffee. That's what they thought they had in common. Little did they know that the past they had left behind connects their future. One is trying to build a home; the other one is trying to find a home. Sa piling ba ng isa't isa sila uuwi? TRIGGER WARNING!!!!

[COMPLETED] "I know I'm in danger. But would putting a caution in my heart can make me stop from falling in love with you?" - Cladville Rios Lareho

✔ | Sun Rays Series #2 Words are powerful, even the ones you never say out loud. Redler, an ABM student, has always been better at writing things down than actually saying them. She's not trying to be invisible; it just kind of... happened. Being quiet is safer and less complicated, and she doesn't even mind staying in the background. Then there's Davin from the HUMSS, her complete opposite. The charming guy everyone knows who's carrying air that draws people in. An artist who believes that art has always had a place in this world, and somehow, he speaks about literature like it belongs just as much. He doesn't try to change her. He just stays and sees her in ways no one else ever bothered to. And for some reason, that's more terrifying than being ignored. Now Redler's caught between the comfort of being unseen and the risk of being known by someone who actually pays attention. Because what happens when the girl who hides behind her words meets the boy who believes those words deserve a place in the world? And what if, for once, she wants to be seen... instead of just writing herself away? Disclaimer: story is written in taglish. Date Started: 03/13/24 Date Ended: 07/16/24
