Vitals & Values (Taft Avenue Series #1)

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.
