When Songs Were Us

"Before you, music was just a sound. With you, it became a memory."

Zephaniah Eros Velarde, a quiet and introspective high school senior, would rather hide in music rooms than in crowded cafeterias. For her, music isn't about fame-it's survival. Her only anchor? Her best friend, Caius Emery Ilustre, the only person who knows her past and her passion.

Enter Aziel Lirienne Castañeda-the charismatic, wildly popular vocalist of Reverie, the most admired university band in the country. He's bold, brilliant, and everything Eros isn't.

Their worlds collide at a university music exchange program. Eros joins the summer arts program after getting a scholarship recommendation. She didn't plan on meeting Aziel. And Aziel didn't expect a quiet girl with a cassette player to challenge everything he thought he knew about music-and about himself.

As melodies turn into memories, and lyrics begin to blur with reality, they'll face one question:

Was it ever just music?
