Between research defenses and late-afternoon revisions, will they finally learn the truth behind the sunflower that was never accepted and the love letter hidden in a thousand-peso bill?

Love in Tangerine Skies (Comets Chasing Stars Series I)
Filipino BL Trapped in a pattern of dating disasters and emotional denial, Centi seeks love via any means-only to realize the one person he's been running from is the one he's always needed. This story is about two very close friends who would label themselves 'a shoulder to cry on' for each other. Centi has always been hasty on love and tried everything to get loved. In the other hand, Rham is his 'straight' bestfriend who labeled himself 'NGSB' since he does not want to be in a relationship at the moment. However, does he not want to love because of that reason or has he been in love all this time? Disclaimer: This story was/will be written originally by the author (Sai which is me). Note: This story has a hint of my life, so it can also be an anecdote of the light and angst inside of me. If similar scenes occur in real life, it will be most possibly my life and the other percent is purely coincidental. :3 Writing again for so long. I would write and upload the chapter as my mind required since deadlines would be the end of me, I thought that free writing can have the most well-thought stories ever. | To those who desperately seek for love; hopeless romantics | This the first of the series. Hope you'd like it!

This is a bl story, and if you're not a fan of fast-paced romances, this might not be for you. You can skip this story, and read the other series. Don't worry, even if you skip this, it won't affect the other series because each one has its own story. Honestly, I wrote this under pressure, which is why the story unfolds so quickly. I'm not keen on rewriting or deleting this because ONC actually motivated me to keep writing. note: please bear with any grammatical or typographical errors. i will revise it soon. ࣪ ִֶָ☾. 06.22.24 - 09.08.24Complete
