Between Purpose and You (Fragments of Us Series #1)
2 parts Ongoing The moment Vien entered senior high school, her only goal was simple: to pass-with or without academic achievements. Hindi niya kailangan maging honor student; ang mahalaga, makabawi siya sa Tatay niya at makapagtapos nang maayos.
She was everything bright and carefree: outgoing, cheerful, madaldal, and full of life.
And then there was Accius-her longtime crush.
Accius lived with the weight of purpose on his shoulders. Family pressure, expectations, and the future he must build all demanded perfection. He didn't have time for distractions. He didn't have space for vulnerability. He didn't even have room for someone like Vien-someone who felt like sunshine he wasn't supposed to touch.
But Vien never hid her feelings. She was persistent, honest, and transparent in ways that scared him.
That's why they often slipped into something soft, something dangerous, something they never named.
And every time Accius found himself drawn to her-her laugh, her sincerity, her warmth-he would ask himself the question he feared most:
Is she just a distraction... or the part of his life he never planned but truly needed?
