[FINISHED] Categories : Boys' Love • Contemporary Romance • LGBTQ+ Kannagi Lacanlali, or Kann, suffers daily from social anxiety. Siya na ang nakatoka bilang caretaker sa mansyon ng mga Gulmatico, na nasa ibang bansa, buhat nang ma-admit ang tita niya sa ospital. Pero nang dumating ang stepson ng may-ari ng mansyon na si Clyvedon Escarchia, a.k.a. Clyve, a skater boy, everything turns upside down. He is Kann's "hate at first meet." To make matters worse, they become classmates and are always at each other's throats. Desperate to pay the hospital bills for his aunt, Kann borrows money from the infamous guy in Merryfield High, Beast Mond. Pero sa oras ng singilan, wala siyang pambayad kaya hinabol siya nito hanggang sa makarating siya sa Night Bazaar sa Morlon Street. For a socially anxious person like him, seeing the crowd results in uncomfortable physical symptoms: a racing heartbeat, an upset stomach, and sweating. Rubbing salt into the wound, the rain starts falling; people are rushing to the nearby tents, leaving him alone. Before Kann reaches rock bottom, Clyve shows up, holding an umbrella--saving the lit candle from the pouring rain. 🖇️ First Published: January 5, 2023 🖇️ Completed Date: July 20, 2023 🖇️ Word Count: 45,000 - 50,000 Content warning: This story explores themes of anxiety, toxic masculinity, mentions of death, strong language, and alcohol use. 🏅 Best in Teen Fiction, Humor, and Romance (TFHR) Category in The WritersPH Awards 2024 🌟 Featured on RomancePH's "Love Bound" Reading List (January 2025)

#1 out of 4.55k stories under the boyslove tag category! [1/25/2022] [A PaperInk Publishing House's BoysLove Collaboration Series] ---COMPLETED--- PUBLISHED UNDER PAPERINK PUBLISHING HOUSE "If you ever realized you're still in love with me, come meet me again here... by the water fountain, at a quarter past ten." Kinley Dane Villafasco has always loathed himself for making mistakes in his life. Naisumbat na siguro sa kanya ng kanyang ama ang lahat ng pagkakamali niya sa buhay, maging ang pagkilala niya sa kanyang kasarian at sa hilig niya sa pagguhit. But perhaps, the most frustrating mistake he ever did was to fall in love. Hindi lang ang umibig, kundi maging ang mahulog sa mga bisig ng isang straight man na tulad ni Elvis Umber Tan. Para kay Kinley, hindi bungad ng pagkakataon ang pagkakatagpo niya kay Elvis sa tapat ng fountain na 'yon sa kalagitnaan ng siyudad. He believed that Elvis can be the one who could help him fix his "mistakes," even if he knew about the risk of falling for him. With little certainty but a lot of hope, they kept on seeing each other at the very spot where they almost fell to the ground. Little did they know that that very water fountain had already become a landmark between their hearts. Will their love sprout endlessly just like how the water flows from the fountain they knew all too well?
