Radio Hearts is a youth romance set in 2006 at Green High School, a quiet campus in a small town where the broadcasting club once recorded a weekly radio show that reached every classroom-and sometimes, the heart.
Mika de Guzman only joined the broadcasting club in her third year, thinking it would just be another creative outlet. But the moment she stepped into that dusty recording booth, everything began to change. Her feelings for Kai Mendoza-the quiet, brilliant sound tech-started to unfold in ways she couldn't control.
Caught between the familiar comfort of Kenji Yamada, her childhood friend who's always been by her side, and the silent pull of Kai, who hides more than he reveals, Mika is torn between two frequencies of love.
As the trio navigates the chaos of teenage friendships, awkward broadcasts, and late-night editing sessions, they're also learning to speak their truths-on air and off. But when the microphones turn off, their hearts make the loudest noise.
The radio becomes a metaphor for everything they can't say out loud: emotions transmitted but often misheard, signals full of longing and confusion, voices that echo across emotional distance.
In a story about unspoken feelings, secret confessions, and the messiness of growing up, Radio Hearts captures the vulnerability and wonder of falling in love, finding your voice, and tuning in to what really matters.
Will Mika listen to her heart before the signal fades?
Off air, it's all about the heart.💜

Rock's Life - Background Noise
In a valley that never changes, all it takes is one wrong kiss, a song on the radio, and a winter night to make everything fall apart. 🎬 Early 2000s. Flip phones snap open like promises, songs drift slowly through MP3 players, and headphones crackle with dreams too big for a mountain town frozen in time. The Rusty Dreamers have always played: three friends, one band, one hope that echoes louder than anything else. Filippo pounds the drums to drown out the chaos inside him. Jacopo, bass and madness, is a wildfire waiting to burn. Manuel, guitar and steady mind, says little-but holds everything together. And then there's Cat: sharp, witty, always there. She doesn't play, but she's their silent constant. The girl who's been secretly in love with Filippo for as long as she can remember. And no one knows. Not even him. But when Emma arrives-a girl from the city-the balance shatters. Everything changes. In one final year of high school, filled with goodbyes and new beginnings, between secrets, jealousy, and unspoken truths, music becomes the voice for everything they can't say. Love tangles. Scars remain. Dreams grow too big for a valley stuck in time. 🎧 And that constant background noise? It's music. It's growing up. It's chaos. It's life. 🎸A story of small towns, music, jealousy, and first times. 🎧 Of friendships that hurt and love that makes you grow. 🔥 Of dreams too big to stay in the valley. 🛻 With a vintage feel-amplifiers, vinyl, and wild, messy hopes.

Two Souls, One Journey
Kai and Ryu's lives were never meant to intertwine in the way they did. In a world where silence often speaks louder than words, their connection grew in the quiet spaces between their conversations-moments of vulnerability, shared smiles, and a bond that felt too strong to ignore. Kai, with his open heart and determination, has always been comfortable with who he is. But when it comes to Ryu, the boy who hides his heart behind walls of doubt, Kai finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about love and trust. Ryu has always kept his emotions locked away, scared of the vulnerability that comes with giving himself fully to someone. Haunted by fear and insecurity, he finds in Kai a source of solace-and also his greatest fear. Can he really open up? Can he truly allow someone to love him, just as he is? As they navigate the challenges of high school, societal expectations, and their own hearts, Kai and Ryu learn that love is not just about finding the perfect person-it's about accepting each other's imperfections, growing together, and trusting that no matter how hard things get, they are stronger side by side. With every quiet touch, every tear shed, and every shared moment of understanding, they realize that love isn't something you just feel-it's something you choose, again and again. But the question remains: Can they overcome their own fears and take that leap together into the unknown future? A story about love, fear, and finding yourself in someone else's heart. A journey of discovering that the most beautiful things in life are often the ones we can't see, but feel deeply. If you believe love can be as tender as it is fierce, join Kai and Ryu as they learn to embrace the love they never saw coming.Complete
Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete

When We Tune In Again
Some stories don't end. They just wait to be heard again. From the world of Radio Hearts comes When We Tune In Again-a slow-burn, second-chance romance filled with quiet yearning, late-night scripts, and the kind of love that never really goes away. In Radio Hearts, Mika and Kai captured hearts as two high school students hiding their feelings behind radio shows and shared silences. Now, years later, their story continues-older, wiser, and far more complicated. Mika de Guzman is doing her best to move forward. As a junior scriptwriter at PBK Broadcasting, her days revolve around deadlines, coffee, and keeping things strictly professional-until her past walks right through her front door. Kai Mendoza. Now a producer-director at PBK. Now her boss. Now... her unexpected roommate. They say it's temporary. A coincidence. Strictly work. But how do you stay detached when the person you once loved is suddenly everywhere-editing your scripts, sharing your space, and stirring up every quiet feeling you tried to bury? In high school, silence kept them safe. But now, those silences are louder than ever. And this time, there might not be anywhere left to hide. Perfect for fans of Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, When We Tune In Again is a moving, character-driven romance about missed chances, creative intimacy, and finding your way back to the words left unsaid. Tropes: • Second-chance romance • Forced proximity • Workplace romance • Mutual pining • "There was only one bed" (emotionally, if not literally) • Creative partners to maybe-something-moreComplete
