Campus Series #1 Love hurts. Of course it does. Who ever said it wouldn't? For someone like Hairen Venice Montefiore, love is something you cherish and preserve. But is love itself enough to make people stay? Why don't you ask her? She's someone who loves unconditionally-someone who doesn't look at titles, appearances, or status. She sees people for who they truly are. She assesses, understands, and looks right through them without judgment. And perhaps, that is what made the most stoic and hopelessly romantic Student Council President fall for her. Czeion Apfixiel Mendoza, a first-year medical student, is the epitome of good morals. Good grades. A seemingly perfect family. A spotless background. But let's not talk about his personality. He's... kinda mean. He'll say exactly what he thinks and simply shrug it off with, "I'm just being honest." He isn't the type to sugarcoat his words because he believes that, no matter what happens, words will sting. Words can flip the narrative, but they can never flip the truth. Yet behind that stoic personality lies a dog lover, a gentle heart, and a warm spot reserved only for her. No one could crack him the way she could. But can loving each other protect them from the storms that are slowly brewing? When the clouds turn gray, can they shield the love they've built? And when paradise begins to fall apart, will they still find their way back to each other? Perhaps the answer lies somewhere between love and fate. Because even when the skies darken, love will always find its way toward you-even through the darkest clouds of paradise.
