When the chasing ends, and the quiet begins. Love finds its way between what's left unsaid.
Shaun Dane Villanueva, a sports writer, has loudly admired Andrei Gutierrez, a photojournalism student, for years. His affection has never been subtle, never quiet, always worn like a headline meant to be read by everyone except the one it was written for.
But admiration, when left unanswered, begins to blur into longing. Andrei lives behind his lens, capturing moments without ever stepping into them, while Shaun chases stories on the field, unaware that the most important one might be unfolding in the spaces between them.
As the last bell rings and campus noise fades into silence, both are forced to confront what remains unsaid. Is love meant to be declared loudly, or discovered gently in the quiet moments after everything else ends? And when youth, fear, and timing collide, will Shaun's devotion finally reach Andrei's heart, or will it linger only on the surface, like ink that never quite sinks into the page?
