Kael Dela Torre has always believed in signs.
Red meant danger, but he chased it anyway - drawn to a boy who felt exciting in all the wrong ways. And when that love burned out, he found himself stranded in the ruins of what could've been, unsure how to move forward.
Enter Jet Cortez - steady, patient, and impossibly familiar.
The boy who held out a hand when Kael couldn't stand on his own.
The boy who stayed, even when Kael didn't notice.
The boy who'd seen every version of him-and never left.
As the seasons change and graduation approaches, Eli begins to see the world differently.
The red he once chased fades.
Green nudges him toward growth he didn't know he needed.
Blue teaches him peace, freedom, and clarity.
And yellow-warm, bright, unwavering-shows him the kind of love that lasts.
From stolen glances under the bleachers to confessions beneath a rain-soaked yellow umbrella, this is a story about choosing the love that chooses you back.
A story about healing, coming home, and finally realizing that the brightest color in your life might've been standing beside you all along.
For anyone who has ever chased the wrong light- this is the story of finding the right one.
