That Summer Internship

Every summer ends.

Some leave behind photographs. Others leave behind people you spend a lifetime trying to forget.

Von Cael Arrieta arrived in Metro Manila determined to make the most of his engineering internship. It was supposed to be simple: a few months of site inspections, blueprints, deadlines, and another step toward the future he had spent years building.

Love was never part of the plan.

Then he met Kaleb Lucian Montero.

What began as shared lunches, late-night commutes, and endless days beneath hard hats slowly became something neither of them was prepared to name. In a city that never stopped moving, they found a place where they could simply be themselves.

But summer has always been borrowed time.

When the internship ends, so does the illusion that some moments can last forever. Because not every love story is meant to survive the changing of seasons... and sometimes, the hardest goodbye is the one you never saw coming.

Some stories begin with once upon a time.

Theirs began with a summer internship.
