Some connections arrive quietly. Others arrive when you are already breaking. Venice Reyes has mastered the art of endurance. To the world, she is composed, independent, and unshakeable-running a small café by day, fulfilling obligations by night, and carrying a life shaped by loss, control, and expectations she never chose. Behind her calm exterior is a woman learning how to survive a reality that feels increasingly like a cage. Justin De Dios is a rising musician caught between ambition and longing. Driven, observant, and unexpectedly gentle, he lives in a world of noise-spotlights, schedules, and songs-yet finds himself craving stillness. When he meets Venice, he doesn't try to save her or fix her. He simply sees her. And for the first time in a long while, that is enough. A spontaneous road trip, a storm that forces them to stop, and a night where unspoken truths come dangerously close to the surface-what begins as comfort slowly deepens into something neither of them planned. But some feelings arrive at the wrong time. And some loves must learn how to wait. As Venice is pulled back into a life dictated by control and appearances, Justin is left standing at the edge-wanting more, yet refusing to demand what she cannot give. Between late-night drives, silent goodbyes, and moments stolen from reality, they discover that love doesn't always roar. Sometimes, it steadies. Sometimes, it holds you together when the storm inside is too loud.

This is a fanfiction of SB19 Ken Suson. This story is a stand alone and not connected in any of my books. Author's Note: Hello my co-Atin's and Sisiw's!! Your author here, a Filipina, currently 24 years old. This is my first time again, after how many years of experiencing writer's block. I'm an amateur writer and I write books since 4th grade whenever I felt the urge or when I get motivated.

And now thanks to our Manoken 🐥, I got inspired to write a book once again. I hope ya'll appreciate it. Please leave comments and hit stars to motivate me more, salamat!!!
