Coffee at 6 AM

Two beds. One tiny studio apartment room. And two total strangers living on completely opposite clocks.

Drowning in Manila's endless bills and exhausted from her BPO graveyard shift, Rhia was desperate. Wala na siyang maidagdag sa pambayad ng renta. So when her best friend suggested sharing her room with a complete stranger, no choice na siya basta ba makakahati sa upa.

Enter Gael. He's a seaman on vacation leave, quietly saving up while waiting for his next ship deployment.

Because Rhia is a girl and Gael is a guy sharing a single room, they strictly kept the arrangement a secret from everyone. They enforced a strict rule: magkanya-kanya and no unnecessary contact. For weeks, their only interaction was stealthy movements in the dark, the lingering scent of freshly brewed coffee, and brief sticky notes hidden on the nightstand.

Until one morning, OT and heavy rain delay Rhia on her way home. Exhausted and completely drenched, she opens the door expecting an empty room only to find Gael sitting by the small table, quietly sipping his freshly brewed coffee.

Over two steaming mugs, what started as hesitant, sleepy hellos quickly turns into the single best part of their day. Si Gael ang unang liwanag ni Rhia bago matulog, at si Rhia ang unang ngiti ni Gael bago magsimula ang araw.

But Gael's countdown to deployment is already ticking, and his ship is set to sail back to open waters. When time is running out, can a romance brewed in secret, borrowed moments survive an ocean apart?
