Akihira Pascual has always been the girl who carries the weight of her world with quiet grace. A Business Administration freshman, she's brilliant, talented, and the proud vocalist of the Victorian Squad Band. But behind her perfect grades and confident smile hides a broken story - a mother who betrayed her father, a family scarred by lies, and a heart that refuses to believe in love. For Akihira, love is nothing but a distraction... a mistake she swore she'd never repeat.
Then came Kheidee Asuncion, a first-year Engineering student with a calm demeanor and a storm inside. Living alone in a small condo, juggling two jobs as a barista and tutor, he's learned early how cruel and complicated life can be. His father's arrogance and his mother's silent suffering taught him one thing - love only brings pain. So he keeps his walls high and his world small.
But fate has other plans.
When the top business student crosses paths with the quiet engineering genius, sparks fly - in the classroom, on stage, and everywhere in between. From academic debates to late-night band practices, their rivalry slowly turns into something softer, sweeter, and far more confusing.
They'll challenge each other's dreams, test each other's patience, and unknowingly heal each other's wounds. Because in a world of deadlines, pride, and heartbreaks... sometimes, love is the subject you never meant to learn - but the one that changes you forever.
