Two students. Two struggles. One unexpected connection on the avenue that never sleeps.
In the middle of Manila's most student-filled street, amidst daily deadlines and crowded corners, destiny quietly does its work.
Aeros, a third-year Accounting student at De La Salle University, has it all on paper-looks, height, skill, and a bright future on and off the volleyball court. But beneath the green-and-white jacket is a heart still plagued by previous heartbreak, quietly looking for something real.
Seina, a first-year Nursing scholar at a public university, radiates ambition and grace. With goals bigger than her surroundings and a dance group that keeps her spirit alive, she's determined to make a better life for herself and the family she decided to escape to.
They came from different lives-and meeting each other wasn't part of the plan.
But in Taft, where time moves fast and fate plays by its own rules, some connections just can't be avoided. Between hushed stares and busy LRT rides, something begins to develop.
But as academic pressure, personal pain, and unspoken dreams begin to weigh them down, Aeros and Seina must figure out if love can survive in a world that never hits pause.

Traffic Kilig
Manila is loud, messy, and traffic-filled-but sometimes, love blooms right in the middle of the chaos. Aira is a hardworking college student, juggling classes, part-time jobs, and the daily grind of jeepney rides and cafeteria food. She's practical, outspoken, and never afraid to roll her eyes at people who think life is easy. Enter Javi: the effortlessly charming "conyo boy" with his designer bags, Frappuccino habit, and English-first vocabulary. He's used to comfort, not chaos. He's used to being admired, not corrected. But when he sits across Aira in the library and begs her for math help, their worlds collide in the most unexpected way. At first, it's just banter-his conyo humor versus her no-nonsense Tagalog. But soon, tutoring sessions turn into late-night coffee runs, jeepney rides home, and confessions in the middle of Manila traffic. Between the laughter and misunderstandings, Aira finds herself drawn to Javi's sincerity hidden beneath his jokes, while Javi discovers that love doesn't always come wrapped in luxury-it sometimes comes with fishball oil and handwritten notes. Traffic Kilig is a campus romcom set in the heart of Manila-funny, messy, kilig, and heartwarming. A love story about two people from different worlds who somehow find themselves caught in the same ride.

Loving in Monochrome: The Girl I Saw That Day
"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.
