Dale Mendoza, a diligent nursing student, and Eric Santos, an architecture graduate, are both chasing dreams shaped by their families' high expectations. In the fog-draped streets and hidden corners of Baguio City, they find each other amidst the relentless pressures of final exams and career ambitions. Despite an undeniable connection, they make a pact: no romance until they've passed their board exams and proven themselves worthy in their families' eyes.
What begins as a friendship built on study sessions, late-night talks, and the occasional stolen glance slowly deepens into something neither expected but both long for. Dale struggles with a family that won't accept his truth, while Eric faces pressure from his own past, including a possessive friend who'd rather keep him single. Together, Dale and Eric discover pockets of freedom in Baguio's misty trails, lush parks, and rooftop views-spaces that allow them to be themselves, if only for a moment.
When exam results finally bring victory, Dale and Eric embark on a journey through Baguio's hidden wonders, falling even more in love with each other and the city. But their newfound happiness comes at a price; career opportunities will soon pull them in opposite directions. With family expectations and miles between them, Dale and Eric make a bittersweet promise to return to Baguio one day, ready to build a future together.
In a story of resilience and self-discovery, Beyond the Skyline follows two young men as they navigate the complexities of love, family, and ambition, finding that sometimes, the best dreams are the ones you come back for.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
