To Severino, she was a season he had already outgrown. To Damarie, he was the only sun worth chasing. As a Junior Civil Engineering student, Severino is as rigid and unyielding as the structures he designs. To him, Damarie is simply the girl from next door-a permanent fixture of his past who belongs in the "younger sister" category. He greets her presence at the university not with a warm welcome, but with a cold, biting indifference that feels like a perpetual winter. He has his blueprints, his lab partners, and a world that doesn't include the clingy childhood friend who looks at him with stars in her eyes. But Dam is a Marketing major, and she knows when a brand needs a total reinvention. Tired of freezing in his shadow, Damarie stops chasing. She stops waiting by the engineering building. She trades her pining for ambition, throwing herself into the fast-paced world of Marketing Management and becoming a woman Seve no longer recognizes. She becomes distant, polished, and-most frustratingly-unbothered by him. Seve hated her persistence, but he finds he hates her silence even more. As the frost of his indifference begins to crack, he realizes that the girl he tried to keep in the "past" has become the only future he wants to build. But thawing a heart isn't as easy as reading a floor plan, and Seve must learn that if he wants to see the flowers, he has to survive the storm he created.

Sa mata ng lahat sa Engineering Department, si Liana ang "perfect student"-matalino, masipag, at laging maaasahan. Pero sa likod ng mga matataas na grado, may isang madilim na sikretong pilit niyang itinatago: isa siyang "Collection." Si Marco, ang mapang-api at kinatatakutang "King" ng departamento, ay may hawak sa leeg ni Liana. Dahil sa isang pagkakamali sa nakaraan, napilitan si Liana na pumasok sa isang toxic na "deal" para protektahan ang kanyang pamilya. Para kay Marco, si Liana ay isang pag-aari lang-isang trophy na kailangang pasunurin. Isang pusong kailangang palamigin. Ngunit sa gitna ng unos, dumating si Laurence. Ang tahimik at matalinong research partner ni Liana na nagpakita sa kanya kung ano ang tunay na halaga ng pagiging malaya. Sa init ng pagkakaibigan ni Laurence, unti-unting nahanap ni Liana ang lakas na lumaban. Sa pagitan ng isang lalaking sumira sa kanya at ng isang lalaking pilit siyang binubuo, kailangang pumili ni Liana. Kaya bang tunawin ng pag-ibig ang isang pusong binalot na ng yelo? O mananatili na lang siyang isang sketch sa isang kwentong punong-puno ng sakit?
