Meet me in the Afterglow

Akihiro Villanueva, the second eldest in the Villanueva clan, possessed an enchanting voice and captivating beauty that outshone even his cousins. His feminine allure often led people to mistake him for a girl, especially when his long hair cascaded down. Akihiro, however, cherished his locks and adamantly resisted any attempts to trim them.

Known for his stubbornness and sly nature within the family, Akihiro consistently emerged victorious in various endeavors, earning both admiration as a genius and accusations of being a cheater. Unfazed by such labels, he remained unapologetically himself until he encountered someone who would alter his course.

Enter Maureen Gomez, a woman of unparalleled beauty who captivated Akihiro's heart. Despite being his first love, Akihiro found himself navigating the complexities of their relationship. As he fell deeply for Maureen, he became her confidant, willingly adapting to a platonic friendship, even though his heart desired more.

The turning point came when a night of passion shifted their dynamic from best buddies to intimate partners. Akihiro, now entangled in a whirlwind romance, became devoted to serving Maureen's every whim. In a bold move, he mustered the courage to confess his feelings, unwilling to wait any longer. However, the aftermath of their intimacy shattered his hopes when Maureen rejected him, casting a shadow over their once unspoken connection.
