In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete

Paper Boats in a Drizzling Day
They were just classmates, nothing more, nothing less. He was the boy everyone knew wasn't into girls. She was the girl who kept her feelings buried, knowing they had no chance. But deep in her heart, she was hoping na baka kung sakaling umamin siya ay may pag-asa. Baka may nararamdaman din ito para sa kaniya. But nothing happened. No confessions, no heartbreak, just a quiet understanding that they could never be more than classmates. Years passed. Life happened. They lost touch. Even forget that once in their life, each other existed until one email, an invitation for their senior high school reunion. A high school reunion brought them back together. Familiar faces, old memories, and one too many drinks. And somehow, by the end of the night, they ended up in the same bed. One night doesn't mean anything right?
