Elira Soleil De Castro was a typical MedTech student, brilliant on paper but quietly struggling beneath the surface. With all the expectations and disappointments weighing on her, sometimes she wished she could just test her heart to see how many times it had been pushed to the limit.

Her parents were gone, and she was raised by her loving grandparents. Life wasn't easy, but all they asked was for her to finish her degree, no more, no less.

So Elira kept going. Sleepless nights, endless pressure, and the loneliness that came with it. It was easier to be the top of the class than to admit she didn't know why she was even fighting anymore.

Her anchor was herself and Asher Valentino Valdez. A BSMT graduate, and now pursued medicine. Against all odds, he was there, watching, understanding, silently supporting. She clung too tightly to that silent comfort. Even without words, without promises. But what Elira didn't realize was that in holding everything together, she was slowly disappearing, fading into the shadows of her own expectations.

Somewhere Between Us by wrizzy_verse

"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

Clueless by Maryhadyou

Once upon a time, in a world where destiny held sway, there lived a woman named Mariffey Aleomy Fidal. She was a whirlwind of ambition and creativity, a young woman who painted her dreams onto canvases and sculpted her future with the strength of her spirit. But fate had a different plan for her. At the tender age of eighteen, she was destined to marry a man, a man chosen for her by a force beyond her control. His name was Xian Matthew Velasquez, with a compassionate heart and treated everyone with respect. He was everything Mariffey wasn't-grounded, patient, and a pillar of stability in a world that often felt chaotic. Their marriage was a union of two souls, bound by a destiny that they couldn't escape. Xian, with his gentle nature, took on the responsibilities of their life together, providing for her, supporting her dreams, and loving her unconditionally. He was her rock, her anchor, the steady presence she needed in a world that often felt like a storm. As the years passed, a slow, steady flame ignited between them. They started to see each other beyond the constraints of their predetermined union. They found solace in each other's company, laughter in shared moments, and a deep, unspoken understanding that transcended the boundaries of their arranged marriage. Mariffey, however, held a secret, a truth that she couldn't share with Xian. A secret that threatened to shatter their fragile happiness. It was a secret that whispered in her ear, a voice that told her she was not meant for this kind of love, that she was meant for something more, something wilder, something that defied the boundaries of destiny. But Xian, with his unwavering love and gentle understanding, had a way of calming the storm within her. He saw her, truly saw her, beneath the layers of doubt and fear. He loved her not for who she was destined to be, but for who she truly was.

The Song's Memory (Engineering Student #2) by eraeyxxi

What the mind forgets; the heart remembers. You're always there to lift me up. I don't have a friend, everyone hates me, but you chose to be with me. Kaya hindi ko makakalimutan kung paano mo binago ang buhay ko. Nagpapasalamat ako dahil dumating ka sa buhay ko. Ang tahimik kong mundo, nagkaroon ng magandang musika. Nasanay ako na nandiyan ka sa tabi ko kaya sobra akong nalungkot nung sinabi mong aalis ka para sa iyong pangarap. Pero anong magagawa ko? Pangarap mo 'yan, eh. Before me, you have your dreams. So, chase your dream first. I will always be here... waiting for you. Siguro makukuntento na lang muna ako ngayon sa mga masasayang alaala natin. Sa ngayon, makikinig na lang muna ako sa musika nang mag-isa. I will wait for you until you hear me playing piano again. Nandito lang ako, Kai. -K.

Loving in Monochrome: The Girl I Saw That Day by porqueee

"He saw the world in black and white... until he met the girl who loved in every color." Aiden Castillo never believed in fate - only in timing, and how often it betrayed him. High school was a blur of laughter, failed crushes, and questions about what *real love* should feel like. But everything changed when he stepped into college - a new world, new faces, and one familiar name that never left his memory: "Selene Villarez". From awkward texts and first ice cream dates, to quiet nights under the city lights - their story grew in unspoken words and half-meant glances. She was a mystery, a girl who loved both men and women, and yet made Aiden feel seen for the first time. But love, like all fragile things, isn't always painted in color. Sometimes it blooms in shades of gray - between friendship and romance, hope and heartbreak. This is the story of how it all began. A story of first love, almost love, and the moments that made Aiden believe that even monochrome can be beautiful.
