TITUSGREY
The Philippines thinks Senators Rafael De Torre and Lea Salonga should date.
Every shared laugh becomes a TikTok edit. Every Senate hearing becomes another compilation. Every time Rafael slides a glass of water toward Lea before she asks for one, the comments explode.
JUST DATE ALREADY.
They laugh about it publicly.
Because nobody knows.
Nobody knows that long before the Senate, before medicine, before law school, before cameras learned their names, Rafael and Lea had already belonged to each other. Secretly.
Decades later, Lea belongs-or thinks she belongs-to somebody else.
Rafael belongs to nobody. Except perhaps the girl he promised he would wait for.
Now the whole country is asking the question neither senator has had the courage to answer:
What if they were never the wrong people? What if it was only the wrong time?
And what happens when Rafael finally admits that for all these years- he has still been hers?
A story inspired by the song "Lifetime (Reimagined)" by Ben&Ben (2026).
An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.
