Leaving home was supposed to be the hardest part.
At eighteen, Rai Marcus Victor leaves the quiet rice fields of Pangasinan behind to chase his dream of becoming an architect at Far Eastern University. Armed with a sketchbook, a suitcase full of hopes, and a heart that's never been this far from home, Rai finds himself learning that growing up isn't just about surviving sleepless nights, impossible deadlines, or getting lost around campus.
Sometimes, it's about finding pieces of yourself in a city that has never known your name.
On the other side of the same university, Ryuki Martin Bautista is trying to make the most of four years that already have an expiration date. Half Japanese, half Filipino, he carries a secret that makes it impossible to get too attached to anyone.
Their story doesn't begin with love.
It begins with an unpaid chicken meal, a forgotten wallet, and two strangers who had no idea they were slowly becoming each other's favorite place to return to.
Between Blueprints and Beginnings is a heartfelt coming-of-age BL novel about college life, homesickness, first friendships, architecture plates, coffee after class, rainy afternoons in Morayta, and the quiet realization that sometimes, the people who change our lives arrive on the most ordinary days.
