[ BL | TAGALOG | BOOK 1 ] Some summers never end; they just stay with you. Pat's quiet life in the family coconut grove is upended when Rameses, the arrogant and impossibly handsome son of the hacienda owner, arrives from Manila for the summer.

Patji has always loved Ryujin from a distance, believing he could never belong in the warm, beautiful world Ryujin creates for everyone around him. So he keeps his feelings hidden, writes messages he'll never send, and convinces himself that loving quietly is enough.

The trouble maker Ryujin and his President Patji.

Wave attempts to escape the hell he is living in with his boyfriend by taking up a job to manage an esport team but soon meets the man who would pull him out of it.

Ryujin's smile disappeared instantly. "You stole from who?" This time Ryujin stood up, walking toward Fifa, his expression tight-angry. Fifa took a step back. "Copper Phuriwat... do you know who that is?" Before Ryujin could answer, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen. Ryujin's jaw clenched. "I have him," he replied. "I'll send you the location. Just come here." He hung up. Ryujin lifted his phone and tapped once. Click. Every door in the apartment locked automatically. "You just robbed the most dangerous man in the city."

Patji has loved Ryujin quietly for years, watching from the sidelines as Ryujin teased, ignored, and even insulted him. But when Patji finally stops trying-turning cold and distant-Ryujin feels a gnawing emptiness he didn't expect. The one he thought he didn't want becomes the one he can't live without.

Stressed, overworked, and running on pure caffeine, art student Wave is on the verge of failing his finals if he can't find the perfect model for his masterpiece. Enter Thee: a literal prince who just fled the palace to escape an arranged marriage and the suffocating weight of the crown. When a chaotic sidewalk collision and a sudden royal manhunt force Thee to drag Wave into a back alley-ruining Wave's expensive art supplies in the process-a desperate deal is struck. Thee needs a place to hide from his bodyguards, and Wave needs a flawless face to paint. The solution? Thee is moving into Wave's messy, cramped apartment. But hiding a modern-day royal who speaks like a Shakespearean play, doesn't know how a microwave works, and stands entirely too close isn't easy. As the space between them shrinks, Wave finds his ultimate muse... and Thee finds a freedom-and a feeling-he never wants to give up.

A quiet student living with a hearing disability has long stopped believing in love, choosing instead to focus on surviving each day while taking care of his younger brother. His world is heavy with responsibility, routine, and silence where emotions are something he no longer allows himself to feel. Everything changes when a teacher enters his life, someone who sees beyond his silence and refuses to treat him like he's invisible. Despite boundaries, circumstances, and unspoken fears, the teacher begins to reach out in ways that slowly challenge everything the student thought he knew about connection and love. In a world where silence once meant distance, something unspoken starts to grow between them something neither of them expected, and neither of them is ready for.
