The Four Walls of 1996

1996.

A time of vintage cars in crowded parking lots, flip phones tucked inside uniform pockets, blue eyeshadow and pink lipsticks ruling the halls, and the faint smell of cigars lingering in the university corridors.

Inside these four halls, reputations are built, rivalries are born, and pride means everything.

At the center of it all stand two names the entire campus knows.

Corene Christiana Cayetano - warm, responsible, and admired by almost everyone. The beloved president of the Department of Architecture who seems to carry the weight of leadership with effortless grace.

And then there's Keita Hyacinth Mejes - sharp, untouchable, and dangerously brilliant. The cold and reckless president of the Department of Civil Engineering who never learned how to care about what people think.

Two departments.
Two leaders.
Two egos too big to bend.

When a university renovation forces Civil Engineering and Architecture to work together, their worlds collide in ways neither of them expected.

What begins as irritation turns into rivalry.
What begins as rivalry might turn into something far more dangerous.

Because sometimes, the strongest structures aren't made of concrete or steel-but of pride, tension, and two stubborn hearts that refuse to admit what they're building together.

Welcome to the university of 1996,
where the halls remember everything.

Even the love stories that were never meant to happen.
