Simula ng iwan niya ako halos hindi ko na makilala ang sarili ko. Halos ibinigay ko na sa kaniya ang lahat pero mas pinili niyang sumama sa iba. Until she came into my life, she changed my whole world. She give me another reason to love again and this time I know I'm safe with here.

Bianca has always been kind to everyone she meets, no matter how they treat her in return. She gives warmth and kindness without expecting anything back. Gavin is the opposite. He keeps his distance and often acts like he does not notice her attempts to be friendly. At first, they were just classmates who barely interacted with each other. But time has a way of changing things. Through quiet moments, small conversations, and unexpected moments, they slowly became friends. What once felt distant eventually turned into something familiar and easy. And somewhere along the way, Gavin began to see Bianca differently. Not just as a friend, but as the girl he never expected to fall for. Now he is stuck between what they used to be and what they could become somewhere between almost and always.

This is the story of two hearts shaped by fear-one who runs from love to stay safe, and one who clings to love to feel safe. Ezekiel has an anxious attachment style. To him, love is everything-constant communication, emotional closeness, and reassurance that he won't be left behind. Silence feels like punishment. Space feels like abandonment. He loves fully, but always with a quiet question in his chest: "Will you stay?" Juliana, on the other hand, is an avoidant. Her love is real but quiet, restrained. Vulnerability unsettles her. She needs space to breathe, independence to feel in control. Love, for her, isn't about closeness-it's about freedom. And when it feels too intense, she pulls away, afraid of losing herself in someone else. Their bond sparks quickly-unexpected, magnetic. Ezekiel is drawn to Juliana's calm, her mystery. Juliana is intrigued by Ezekiel's depth, his sincerity. But as Ezekiel reaches in, Juliana steps back. As Juliana pulls away, Ezekiel panics and holds on tighter. They love each other-but in opposite directions. And in the tug-of-war between holding on and letting go, they start to question: Can love survive when one is always chasing, and the other is always running? Between the distance and the chase, can two opposites find the courage to meet in the middle-not to fix each other, but to understand?
