Childhood friends. Music. Fashion. Love. Chase. Shadow.

Amelia Lorraine Ruiz and Kirk Yvan Juarez had been best friends since childhood, inseparable and always sharing laughter. But when a tragic accident stole Amelia's memories, she was forced to move abroad, leaving Yvan behind without a goodbye. Feeling abandoned, Yvan hardened his heart and distanced himself from emotions.

Years later, they unexpectedly reunited at their senior high school. As a popular member of the band 4BROS, Yvan caught Amelia's attention, and she pursued and chased him eagerly. However, Yvan, still nursing old wounds from Amelia's leaving without saying goodbye, turned down her advances even though he secretly cared for her.

But when Amelia's attention shifted to other things, the tables turned as now it was Yvan who was chasing after her. Their story took a turn when they became an almost - lovers, but Amelia couldn't shake the feeling that Yvan's affection for her was superficial, driven more by her pursuit than genuine love.

How long would Amelia chase after Kirk? And could she ever reach a love that seemed elusive, like a fleeting shadow, hard to grasp and harder to hold onto? Until when will she hope that someone will truly and faithfully love her?
