Lucas Emmanuel Rivera lives his life behind the lens of his camera - observing, capturing, but never really getting involved. That changes when he notices Nathaniel Lee Gonzales: the quiet, distant boy always painting sunsets no one else seems to care about.

Their worlds collide in the most unexpected way - through a photograph, a conversation, and a sky painted in shades of orange. Lucas becomes drawn to Nathan's silence, his art, and the sadness he hides behind his glasses and paintbrush.

As days turn into moments they never meant to share, Lucas starts to understand that some people, like sunsets, are meant to be admired from afar - beautiful, fleeting, and impossible to hold onto forever.

But what if this time, he wants to try?

A story about first love, fleeting connections, and the quiet ache of knowing that some goodbyes are written long before the story begins.

The Language of Summer by zhanliuxuan
24 parts Complete
Lorenz's life was predictable. A small, bustling coastal town in the Philippines, university applications, and the constant, familiar rhythm of his language, Tagalog. He was nineteen, easygoing, and entirely unprepared for the American summer that was about to arrive. Lucas flew in from the United States-handsome, refined, and completely out of place. He was the son of Lorenz's mother's close friend, sent to the tropics for a month-long vacation. He knew crisp English and nothing of the sticky heat, the crowded jeepneys, or the deep, complex hospitality of a Filipino home. The two were immediately bound by obligation. Lorenz was Lucas's unwilling guide; Lucas was Lorenz's linguistic burden. They were forced to navigate small spaces, loud family dinners, and streets full of noise, communicating through simple sentences and frustrated gestures. Every encounter became a study in translation. Lorenz struggled to find the perfect English phrase to explain a cultural nuance. Lucas struggled to understand why rice is life. But as the initial annoyance faded, something else began to form in the gaps between the two languages. In shared silences, in accidental touches, and in the effort to simply understand each other, the distance between them narrowed. This is a story about what happens when two worlds collide, and when the words you use aren't enough to contain the feelings you are trying to hide. ........

My Sight on You

19 parts Ongoing Mature

At Haneul National University, Seo Haerang just wants to keep his head down. Quiet, introverted, and newly transferred into the Abstract Arts program, he finds comfort only in his sketches-lines and colors that speak when he can't. But on his very first day, a chance collision scatters his drawings into the wind... and into the hands of Ivan, a tall, magnetic senior in the Education department. Ivan should've just handed them back, yet something about Haerang-his silver-blue hair, his quiet presence, the delicate beauty hidden in his art-captures Ivan's gaze completely. What begins as a simple apology turns into something neither of them expected: the slow, tender unraveling of two strangers who can't stop noticing each other. A story about seeing, being seen, and the fragile lines between admiration and love.
