They started as best friends. Then came the cameras, the love team, and all the lines they were supposed to act out... until one of them stopped being just acting. Mika fell first. Brent refused to fall at all-at least not when it mattered. But what happens when pretending starts to feel more real than the script... and someone else starts looking at her the way he used to? DISCLAIMER: This is purely a fan fiction. The story, scenes, and character portrayals are fictional and do not represent the real personalities or real-life events of Mika Salamanca, Brent Manalo, or anyone mentioned. No harm or misrepresentation is intended.

They were never the kind of love story that ended in flames. Mika and Brent were just two people who tried-too young, too unprepared, but willing to build a life together anyway. And for a while, they did. They built a home, raised a daughter, and held on for as long as they could... until love slowly turned into something quieter. Years later, they meet in between weekends-co-parenting, moving forward, but never truly letting go. Because some stories don't end. They just find their way back.

She swore she didn't need anyone. He made her believe she deserved someone. [A MikBrent Fanfiction] Date Started: September 10, 2025 Date Ended: September 12, 2025

Mika Salamanca had everything planned-until she caught her fiancé cheating three months before their wedding. Heartbroken, she runs away to Bacolod. Brent Manalo had everything once-until his wife died five days after their marriage. Trying to escape their past, two strangers meet at a bar, drink too much whiskey, and make the dumbest decision of their lives. They get married. What was supposed to be a drunken mistake turns into months of healing, laughter, and quiet moments inside an old ancestral house. But when they discover the truth about their marriage, one question remains- Was it all just an accident? Or were they always meant to find each other?

A heart once lost. A love reborn. In the quiet rains of Baguio Brent meets Mika, a woman with a stranger's heart and a face that feels too familiar. But as the past begins to blur, he must choose... cling to a ghost... or fall for the woman standing right in front of him."

Seven years of love. Seven years of waiting. Seven years of choosing each other - even when doubt tried to win. Mika and Brent were college sweethearts who grew up side by side, building careers, surviving misunderstandings, and holding on through seasons of silence. But when the "seven-year curse" starts whispering in Mika's ear and one painful misunderstanding pushes her to walk away, everything they've built feels like it's about to fall apart. What she doesn't know? While she was counting the years, Brent was building their forever - brick by brick. From almost losing each other to finding their way home, this is a story about love that isn't rushed, promises that are kept, and the quiet courage it takes to choose the same person every single day. Because sometimes, seven years isn't the end. It's just the foundation.

A collection of MikBrent one-shots-different universes, different versions, same kind of love. Purely fictional. Just imagination, chemistry, and the kind of love that always finds its way back in every universe.

Six years ago, a misunderstanding ended what was supposed to be forever. Mika walked away thinking she was protecting the man she loved. Brent left believing he wasn't chosen. What neither of them knew was that silence would cost them six years - and a child. Now back in the same city, Brent meets a six-year-old boy with familiar eyes and a quiet strength that feels too close to home. When the truth finally comes out, grief for the years lost collides with the chance to begin again. But second chances aren't about rewriting the past. They're about choosing each other in the present. And this time, there are no more secrets.

Mika has always been protected. By her two overprotective brothers. By her best friends. By the reputation that follows her last name. But no one ever asked who protects her heart. Brent has always known his place. Best friend. Kuya figure. Safe distance. Until one afternoon outside the campus gates, when he sees three girls cornering the sunshine of their world-and suddenly, he doesn't feel like a kuya anymore. And maybe... he never did.

She writes the vows. He ends the marriages. Iris Salamanca sells the fantasy of forever. Cael Manalo cleans up the mess when it burns down. They have one rule: Stay platonic. But when Iris needs a fake boyfriend to cure her writer's block, the lines between "the practice" and "the verdict" start to bleed. In a game of pretend, who loses first?
