12 parts Ongoing MatureArielle Ysabel Mercado and Elian Rafael Soriano have been academic rivals since freshman year, the kind of rivalry everyone knows about because they're always fighting for the top spot, always getting called "the golden pair" by professors, and always pretending they don't notice the way they stare at each other during recitations.
But in their third year, one class changes everything.
When their professor announces a long-term research project and randomly pairs them together, Arielle thinks it's punishment.
Elian calls it fate.
As competition turns into comfort and tension turns into something warm, they begin to realize:
Maybe the heart never meant to choose.
Maybe... A love beyond the words.
And maybe the enemy they spent years trying to beat was the person they were meant to love without meaning to.
