A love that's A crown of heavy gold, a stage of blinding white, She walks in a royal hush, he dances in the light. Her duty is to protect her family's reputation with an endless spotlight. His duty is to appease his fandom, with a desperate, hungry need. Two worlds that cannot mingle, separated by crowd force. Yet caught within the electric, silent, smoky air. A stolen glance at midnight, behind the velvet screen. Main Characters: Roi Antonio Vinzon Carmella Noelle Ford

Matapos ang matamis na pagtatapos sa unibersidad, akala nina Carmelle at Anton ay sapat na ang kanilang pagmamahalan para labanan ang mundo. Ngunit ang realidad ay hindi isang daang simpleng musika. Nang makuha ni Anton ang kanyang pangarap na maging bahagi ng New York Philharmonic, ang distansya ay unti-unting naging pader sa pagitan nila. Habang nilulunod ni Anton ang kanyang sarili sa gilas ng Manhattan at sa mga bagong mukhang susubok sa kanyang katapatan, nanatili si Carmelle sa Pilipinas bilang isang dedikadong Music Teacher. Ngunit paano mo ituturo ang ganda ng musika kung ang sarili mong puso ay unti-unting nawawala sa kumpas? ⚠️CARTON FANFICTION STORY

Sa loob ng prestihiyosong mga pader ng St. Jude Academy, isang kolehiyo ng musika, magbabanggaan ang dalawang magkaibang mundo: ang masiglang "Soprano Sunshine" na lumalaban para sa kaniyang pangarap, at ang malamig na "Piano Prodigy" na pilit tumatakas sa anino ng kaniyang pagkatao. Ito ay isang symphony ng asaran, kaba, at mga lihim na tanging musika lang ang makakapagbunyag. ⚠️CARTON FANFICTION STORY!

Carmelle, a campus journalist. She's a bubbly, loud, and cheerful person, the personal sunshine of all the people she walks with. She was always easygoing and very light to be with, a kind girl to top off. Anton, a campus photographer, a calm guy, but also fun to be with and kind with everyone. He was best friends with Carmelle, always bantering, always fighting, but never had real heat to it. It's just something friends always do when it's platonic. It's just friendship right? Well, until Anton fell. He had a soft spot for her, and is willing to just be friendzoned when it means he can be by her side and make her laugh. •~ A sunshine, and a blue sky. ~•

ANTON is the school heartthrob- the quiet type, basketball varsity player na consistent MVP. Everyone adores him... except CARMELLE, a member of the musical club ng school who thinks he's too mayabang. Nairing lang naman kasi ni Carmelle si Anton rejecting a fangirl that's why. Meanwhile, Anton actually isn't mayabang, he's just shy, and hates attention and this GUY she is calling MAYABANG?-- is secretly listening to her practices at school. Sa bawat nota ng boses ni Carmelle, parang natatanggal lahat ng pressure ni Anton. To him, her voice feels like home. And maybe... just maybe, he's starting to fall for the girl who can't even stand being near him.
