Kannagi Lacanlali, or Kann, suffers daily from social anxiety. Siya na ang nakatoka bilang caretaker sa mansyon ng mga Gulmatico, na nasa ibang bansa, buhat nang ma-admit ang tita niya sa ospital.
Pero nang dumating ang stepson ng may-ari ng mansyon na si Clyvedon Escarchia, a.k.a. Clyve, a skater boy, everything turns upside down. He is Kann's "hate at first meet." To make matters worse, they become classmates and are always at each other's throats.
Desperate to pay the hospital bills for his aunt, Kann borrows money from the infamous guy in Merryfield High, Beast Mond. Pero sa oras ng singilan, wala siyang pambayad kaya hinabol siya nito hanggang sa makarating siya sa Night Bazaar sa Morlon Street. For a socially anxious person like him, seeing the crowd results in uncomfortable physical symptoms: a racing heartbeat, an upset stomach, and sweating.
Rubbing salt into the wound, the rain starts falling; people are rushing to the nearby tents, leaving him alone. Before Kann reaches rock bottom, Clyve shows up, holding an umbrella--saving the lit candle from the pouring rain.

It was August - Season 2 (BL COMPLETED)
Started writing April 10,2023 Finished writing April 12, 2023 AUGUST SEASON 2 (BXB) Napatunghay ako sa papalayong tren. Sa mga luntian at tuyong dahon na sumasabay sa ihip ng malamig na hangin. Tumingin ako sa aking orasan at inayos ang suot kong makapal na leather jacket. Napahinga ako ng malalim bago tumingin sa aking wrist watch. Mukhang ma-l-late na naman ako. As I was to go back para sumakay sa aking sasakyan biglang may nag vibrate sa bulsa ng aking jacket. It was my phone. I immediately took it out and answered the call. It was Zacharious. "Augustine-" The deep voice of Zacharious lingered my ears. "Everything is okay. Tomorrow is my flight, I know. And I am okay." Putol ko sa taong nasa kabilang linya. "I know uhm, yeah may dinaanan lang ako. Pabalik na rin ako, tell him to behave. Sige, bye." I said as I end the call. Muli akong napahinga at napatingin sa kalangitang makulimlim. Going back to where I came from is not on my list or, plan. But, I guess I can never run forever. It is winter. A cold and calm season. Yet a dangerous and deadly one. Pain really changes people. And time doesn't heal wounds. It only leaves scars. Scars to be remembered and never forgotten.Complete

Note: April 30, 2020 PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING!!! I wrote this story po way back 2013 sa notebook and transferred it to ms word 2014-2015. Marami pong cringe part na may emojis at tunog na **beep* *kraash** ganyan. Jejemon era pa nun ih, hehehe sorry. Then napublish ko sa wattpad 2016, hindi pa ko maalam non kaya I stopped. Yung chapter 34 onwards, ayan yung sinulat ko ngayon na matino na ang lahat though may grammatical errors pa din, sorry uli hehe. Sana this explain why yung movies, novels at iPhone models sa story ay super outdated na. Pinag iisipan ko pa kung ieedit ko yung nga cringe part, pero that's me before e, yun kasi uso non at tatapusin ko muna tong story na to before coming to editting. Thankyouuuu!! ✊ 💖Complete
