"The moment she let go... time chose to catch her."
Elira Caelino lives in silence. Bullied by her stepsister Alysthea, blamed for ruining their family, and ignored by her alcoholic mother, she finds comfort only in memories of her late grandmother. Tired, broken, and hopeless, Elira climbs the school rooftop... and jumps.
But before she hits the ground, time freezes.
In that breathless stillness, she meets Lioren Valecruz - a silver-haired boy with calm eyes and a quiet promise: "I won't let them hurt you again." They walk together through a world where everything is paused. And for the first time, Elira feels peace.
She wakes up thinking it was all a dream. But the next day, he appears at her school - now a mysterious new transfer student. Slowly, Elira learns the truth: Lioren is a goblin from another world, a guardian of time who's been secretly watching over her.
As she begins to heal and fall for him, time begins to crack. Strange glitches. Moments that repeat. Lioren's presence is affecting both worlds - and if he stays, everything might collapse.
When chaos hits, Elira makes a choice: she saves Alysthea, the very girl who tried to destroy her. And Lioren must return to his realm... but not without a promise:
"If you call for me, kahit bulong lang... makikinig ang oras."
Now, Elira walks forward - no longer just surviving, but truly living. Forever changed by magic, love, and the second chance that stopped time just for her.
