Gountiverous Stories

Operating on Love ‎ ‎Sa gitna ng isang medical mission kung saan bawat desisyon ay maaaring maging pagitan ng buhay at kamatayan, nagtagpo sina Dr. Alice Fernandez at Dr. Risa Velasco. Si Alice-isang masayahin, energetic, at dedicated na doktor na laging may dalang ngiti, at si Risa-isang magaling pero notorious na masungit na surgeon na matagal nang isinara ang puso sa kahit anong klase ng love life. ‎ ‎For Risa, trabaho lang dapat. Wala siyang time for drama, pabebe moments, or any kind of distraction. Pero dumating si Alice-makulit, palangiti, at walang takot na asarin siya every time they're in the OR together. At hindi niya in-expect na ang isang taong kayang tapatan ang kasungitan niya ay siya ring gigising sa damdaming pilit niyang kinalimutan. ‎ ‎Sa bawat surgery na magkasama sila, sa bawat banat ni Alice na nakakainis pero nakakatawa, at sa bawat palihim na titig na hindi niya kayang iwasan, unti-unting nabubura ang walls na matagal na niyang itinayo around her heart. ‎ ‎Pero enough ba ang isang medical mission para i-heal ang sugat ng nakaraan? O iiwan lang ni Risa si Alice, just like how love once left her? ‎

‎In the cold, structured world of corporate life in Ortigas, Risa Velasquez, a stoic and composed project manager, is hiding a truth even she struggles to face: she's in love with her subordinate, Alice, a lively, sunshine-filled employee who brings warmth to every room she enters. ‎ ‎But in a company built on professionalism and appearances-and in a world where Risa still isn't ready to embrace her full identity-love must be hidden. ‎ ‎Each day becomes a battle for Risa. She's torn between following the strict rules she's made for herself and the growing desire she tries to smother in silence. While Alice reaches out with gentle teasing and kind smiles, Risa pushes her away-conflicted, terrified, and already falling too deep. ‎ ‎What begins as quiet admiration soon becomes unbearable tension. They are paired for a high-stakes project. Forced into close proximity, Alice begins to hope. Risa begins to break. ‎ ‎As misunderstandings pile and feelings get buried beneath clipped responses and cold stares, their silent love story unfolds-not in declarations, but in lingering glances, hurt silences, and a secret gallery full of candid photos Risa has taken of Alice... moments Alice never knew were captured. ‎ ‎Because while Alice shines in the open, Risa only knows how to love in the shadow.
