CHASING ETHAN: Love on the Front Line
A story of whispered secrets, campfires, and the pain of letting go.
Rein didn't expect to find love in the middle of a crowded swimming pool or on a dusty school motorcycle path, but Ethan Ramirez was a force he couldn't ignore. What started as a playful dare-a "prank" confession-spiraled into a secret romance hidden behind the strict walls of a Christian school and the prying eyes of judgmental classmates.
Now, as the Pathfinder Camp begins at Northern Iloilo Christian School, the tension is higher than the ziplines. Surrounded by 350 students, tents, and the scent of woodsmoke, Rein and Ethan find themselves in a delicate dance of duty and desire.
As a staff member and a deputy, they are leaders on the outside, but inside, they are still two boys trying to navigate the messy aftermath of betrayal, jealousy from an ex-best friend, and the crushing weight of a love that society refuses to name.
In a world of rules and "Yokes of Obedience," Rein must decide: Is he chasing a ghost of the past, or is there still a spark left to fight for?
