Castañeda

For three years, Aldrei Arcevedo observed Cohenn Castañeda from a distance.

Not because he was interested...

But because something about him felt wrong.

As a third-year forensic psychology student, Aldrei trusted patterns, behavioral cues, and instinct. And Cohenn, a third-year criminology golden boy, son of a General, campus prodigy - did not move like someone ordinary. He was too controlled. Too composed. Too unreadable.

Then one night, Aldrei caught him holding a bloodied knife under the dim campus lights.

That was the first time their eyes truly met.

What Aldrei thought was a crime turned out to be a staged final requirement for a course subject major. But the encounter changed something.

After three years of silent observation, avoidance, and subtle suspicion, they were finally forced into the same space.
And the more Aldrei studied him, the more he realized,
the real mystery was not whether Cohenn was dangerous.
It was why, despite the dark aura, Aldrei's heart kept choosing to stay.
