Rhythmic Pherl clashes with an emotionally repressed Sohan.
Before Pherl Sein Artieth entered Sohan Liano Arcuin's life that man genuinely existed like an emotionally constipated refrigerator with unlimited money.
Gwapo?
Unfortunately, oo.
Yung tipong titingin ka lang mawawalan ka na ng mata.
Mayaman?
filthy rich, so much so kailangan may maglilinis ng nagkalat na paper bills sa balkonahe nila.
Personality?
Parang isinubo sa refrigerator for nineteen years and still haven't been defrosted,
not until she came like his own big bang theory.
Na para bang nabuo ulit yung nagguho na mundo nito.
-How Pherl's one hell of a smile became his entire world.
Sohan was raised inside a mansion so huge na mukhang kayang bumili ng sariling gobyerno,
Sohan grew up surrounded by luxury but emotionally neglected to perfection.
People admired him, feared him, wanted him-pero nobody really reached him.
Then suddenly-
Pherl happened.
Isang chaotic scholarship girl powered by instant noodles, caffeine, fake positivity, at unresolved trauma.
Too loud.
Too expressive.
Too alive.
She smiled through suffering like it was a daily side quest, until it became part of her.
Laughed like life wasn't actively trying to humble her,
and carried this weird rhythmic brio that slowly destroyed every emotional wall Sohan spent years building.
And nakakahiya man aminin-
the emotionally unavailable campus prince slowly started:
waiting for her
buying her favorite chocolate
noticing fake smiles
getting irritated kapag hindi siya kumakain
learning how to laugh
at pinakamalala sa lahat...
learning how to feel.
Which was honestly pathetic.
Because out of all things capable of ruining Sohan Liano Arcuin's emotional detachment-
it had to be one mentally unstable girl with three part-time jobs and the survival instincts of a hungry raccoon.
