College life is normal... except for Vladimer "Vladdy" Norbe, who makes every day feel alive. A passionate volleyball player and a talented dancer, he finds freedom on the court and comfort in rhythm. As the only child of two well-known media reporters. Vladdy grew up in a household that was often busy and fast-paced, he spent most of his childhood with his Nanny Loli, who became more than just a caretaker... she became his safe place, his guide, and the closest thing to a mother figure in his life. Erynion Jaes De Lecharrie is a half-french and half-filipino, lives for the truth. A sharp, observant detective, he notices everything... every detail, every silence. When a string of mysterious events leads him to a university, he expects only to investigate. That's when he meets Vladimer. Vladdy wasn't supposed to matter. He was just someone Erynion needed to observe... maybe even suspect. But the more Erynion watches him... the way he laughs with his teammates, the way his eyes soften when he talks about dance, the way he looks completely unaware of the darkness surrounding him, the more the detective finds himself distracted. This wasn't part of the investigation. Now the question isn't just whether Vladdy is involved in the mystery. It's whether Erynion can keep his heart out of the case. --- This story is written in Taglish.
