Paradox (n.) \'per-ə-ˌdäks, ˈpa-rə-\ : something (such as a situation) that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible but is actually true or possible We are all people in this world. We are similar in countless ways, yet we are different in thousands of other ways. We have different thoughts, mannerisms, beliefs and personalities. No two people are exactly alike, and yet, sometimes it is our differences that brings us together. In the busy streets of London lives Sapphire, a girl who made the wrong choice, who gave her trust to the wrong person. In the crowded city of Manila, she meets Brett, a boy who stays in the background, willing himself not to be seen. They're polar opposites, Sapphire being an unbelievably positive and outgoing person, while Brett is rather silent and painfully shy. Some might think that two people like them aren't supposed to get along, but they do. They thought they were too different, impossible. But it was possible.Because they were a paradox

Engineering Love Malfunction

Park, a no-nonsense, by-the-book Engineering student, has always kept his head down, focusing on blueprints, equations, and the occasional workshop banter. He has no time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of Beam, the infamous Medical Casanova of the university. Beam, on the other hand, is charming, flirtatious, and effortlessly glides through life with a dazzling smile and a trail of admirers behind him. Their worlds collide-quite literally-when Park's friend lands in the university hospital after a late-night hazing incident. That's where he meets Beam, the effortlessly charismatic medical student who seems to have a witty remark for everything. From the moment they cross paths, it's a clash of oil and water: Park finds Beam annoyingly smug, while Beam is far too entertained by how easily Park gets riled up. What starts as irritation soon turns into an unavoidable series of encounters. Whether it's at the hospital, in the cafeteria, or even during inter-faculty events, Park finds Beam inexplicably everywhere. Beam, for his part, is intrigued-Park isn't like the people he usually flirts with. He's sharp, serious, and completely immune to his usual charms. So naturally, Beam makes it his mission to break through Park's walls, just for the fun of it. But when an accidental moment of vulnerability exposes a side of Beam no one usually sees, Park is forced to confront the possibility that there's more to the university's famed Casanova than just a smooth-talking flirt. And as they continue to butt heads, Park realizes that maybe, just maybe, sparks aren't always a bad thing. After all, opposites may clash, but sometimes, they combust into something unexpectedly bright.
