To fulfill her father's dream of her becoming an accountant, Hiraya 'Aya' dela Fuente is bound for the ABM strand. But with the National Achievement Test (NAT) approaching, the exam that could seal her future, Aya is paralyzed by a secret truth: her belongingness to art. Her resolve wavers on the last night of summer during an unexpected encounter with Karya 'Kahi' Monterey, a quiet, sentimental neighbor foolish enough to sit on a bench and let mosquitoes feast on him under the moonlight. Yet, when this boy overhears her whispered scrutiny regarding his strange behavior, the crickets seem to hold their breath. And so, the night first sang their encounter. ━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━ • Cover photo not mine. Credits to the rightful owner. • A gentle light-romance and slice-of-life story.
