Filipino BL. I'm Centi. I have a 0.01% chance of falling in love with my best friend. And his name's Rham, my platonic soulmate that I wish the word 'platonic' never existed.

Adam thought he had found solace in Nate, a safe distraction from the wounds of his past. But then came Kenzo. Gentle and unassuming, he slipped into Adam's life like a quiet storm. At first, Adam dismissed it as nothing. Just another passing connection. After all, Kenzo was already with someone else, someone who, beneath the surface, was quietly pulling the strings in ways no one could see. As Adam wrestles with his growing feelings, the lines between what is real and what is merely convenient begin to blur. Was it ever Nate he truly wanted, or was he just hiding, running from a truth he wasn't ready to face? And if Kenzo is the one he has been searching for all along, the one who feels like home in ways he cannot explain, is he already too late? A story of misaligned timing, quiet realizations, and emotions left unsaid. A game of hide and seek where the heart is both the player and the prize, and sometimes, losing is the only way to finally understand what it means to love.

In a world where he's used to winning easily, Morgan quickly realizes that getting her attention-and her heart-is the hardest game he's ever played.
