Dear Sky,

Have you ever liked someone you were never supposed to get close to?

Den had already mastered the art of loving from afar. Hanggang happy crush lang. Hanggang tingin. Hanggang kilig-because he believes that some people are easier to admire from a distance than risk losing up close.

So when he joined a five-day summer retreat during his last year in college, love was the last thing on his mind. Until he unexpectedly got close to Sky-the calm, frustratingly kind facilitator from the library he had secretly admired for months.

What starts as accidental conversations, teasing friends, handwritten letters, beach talks, and quiet late-night realizations slowly turns into something Den never expected: being seen.

But what happens when a happy crush starts growing into something deeper?

In five days filled with confessions, quiet moments, lingering glances, and feelings too real to ignore, Den finds himself asking a terrifying question: What if distance was never the safer choice after all?
