A first-year med student from UST Medicine, Gabriella Beatrice Morel always knows that she can do anything she wants because of wealth and a pretty face. She finds solace in jumping from one fling to another because committing is not her thing. That's why entertaining the first-year med student from UP Medicine, Lourde Reagan Laxamana, and a fourth-year med student from UST Medicine, Aldous Francois D'aureville at the same time thrills something within her. A challenge. A game. A distraction from studying. One taught her that love can be felt in silence and consistency to achieve one's goal to become a doctor. While the other taught her that love can be freedom and palpable tension without knowing what tomorrow awaits. To look in front of the mirror and not recognize the person that she was looking at. To realize that over the years her identity was only built by what other people think she is. To see that she was never in touch with herself in the first place. As she reflects, all those wrong decisions, indecisiveness, and mistakes shaped her to become or not to become. That even when the rain and wind come forth to dim her sky, it cannot quiver, for it mirrors strength and love-a strong woman she becomes in the eyes of becoming a doctor. In spite of that, how can she handle another breakthrough when colossal storms with sword thunder come in to barge into her solitude skies? STARTED: JUNE 26, 2025 FINISHED: JANUARY 04, 206

(After High Series # 3) Lily Delphine Borromeo came to UPLB to build a life that was entirely hers-until Sandro Cantavieja decided to follow her there. She never questioned why her childhood friend chose the same university instead of staying in Seattle. She never asked why he looked at her like that. She was too busy pretending they were just friends. But some truths refuse to stay buried, and some feelings become impossible to ignore. Lily has spent her whole life avoiding complications, taking the safe path, running from anything that might disrupt the carefully constructed world she's built. Sandro has spent years being patient, waiting for her to stop running. When their fragile balance finally shatters, Lily learns that hiding from problems doesn't make them disappear-it makes them explode. And sometimes the thing you're most afraid of losing is the only thing worth fighting for.
