SUPERFICIAL THINGS Trivial drama. Stupid games. Petty deals. 
Things Fiel never imagined he'd be dragged into, especially not after finally making it to college. He had only two priorities: school and family. That was the plan. But within the first few weeks, reality hit harder than he expected. Overwhelmed and cornered, he found himself making a deal he never thought he'd consider; with none other than the school's infamous heartbreaker. Karson Icarus Silverio. A name that screamed wealth, charm, and trouble. All Karson wanted was to win over Fiel's best friend. And Fiel? He just wanted the cash. Becoming a reluctant wingman felt like a small price to pay...at first. But as the days blurred and boundaries thinned, Fiel began to realize something unsettling: nothing was going according to plan. And maybe, there was more between him and Silverio than either of them cared to admit. Questions started to race in his head. How long could they keep pretending? 
And when would they admit that these weren't just superficial things anymore? Nonetheless, when a pill is begging to be swallowed, it would be difficult to deny it. Not when it keeps you up until dawn.
