In a world where everyone wants to be aesthetic, she's used to being admired but never truly seen. Compliments come easy-"You're so pretty!" "You look amazing!"-but no one ever asks, "Are you okay?" For the longest time, she's felt like a painting in a gallery-gazed at, praised, but never really known.

Then there's him.

He's not the poetic type who spins metaphors about her beauty, nor the mysterious bad boy everyone secretly obsesses over. He's just... him. The kind of person who forgets his umbrella on rainy days, orders the same coffee every morning, and sometimes stumbles over his words when he's excited.

The first time they talked, he didn't stare too long. Didn't say she was breathtaking. Instead, he simply asked:

"Pagod ka na ba?"

And somehow, that meant more than any compliment ever did.

With him, she doesn't have to be perfect. She doesn't have to be put together, doesn't have to filter her words or curate every moment. She can be quiet, messy, lost in her thoughts-and still, he stays. He listens. He waits. He makes her feel like she doesn't have to be anyone else but herself.

Sometimes, love isn't about grand gestures or heart-fluttering moments. Sometimes, it's just someone who makes space for you, who stays even when the moment isn't aesthetic, even when you're not your best, even when you have nothing to say.

And for the first time, she doesn't feel like a painting in a gallery.

She feels like she's home.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Sunny says: "Bakit bigla kitang naging boyfriend?!" Cloud says: "Ayaw naman kitang maging girlfriend!" Will their story turns out a sunny happy ending or a cloudy sad one? Find out!-- Cheesiness alert. Disclaimer: This story was written when I was 17 or 18 years old. I first published this on 抖阴社区 way back in 2012 or 2013. I am not a writer, a linguist nor a grammarian. Anything that is out of place here is due to the lack of my knowledge in the area. I apologize for inconsistencies or plot holes but I still hope that you'll enjoy a story born from the chaotic mind of an awkward teenager with raging hormones. At first, I decided to delete this. Now I realized, I am now 27 and I don't write stories anymore. Gone are the days I have overflowing passion, motivation, energy and endless creativity for novels and the like. I won't delete this piece anymore because it's like a small window of my younger self playing outside on a sunny day while the current me is inside a four-cornered room where I only do 'adult chores'. Don't get me wrong but I am not depressed or anything. I just know that I am at that age where the reality and its responsibilities smack you hard on the face with a metal chair. Thank you to the people who supported, reacted (whatever emotions you felt) and congratulated me during my first views until it blew up to 4.8 million. I didn't get trophies, money nor certificates but I was happy... NO. I AM HAPPY. Oo nga pala. Naaalala ko pa. Minadali ko yung ending nito dati kasi naghahabol ako ng thesis proposal ko.

How do you know when love strikes you? Yun ba yung mga pagkakataon na nararamdaman mo yung 'butterflies in your stomach'? That giddy and nakakakilig na feeling? Or is it when you feel those sparks from your entwined hands down to your spine? Yung kunting skin to skin mo sa kanya, nakukuryente ka na agad? And with his every little touch you feel those hairs at the back of your neck come to life. Or baka naman yung feeling na kayong dalawa lang ang na-stuck sa mundo? Yung feeling na nag-fade away lahat ng tao sa paligid niyo at kayong dalawa na lang ang natitira? Baka naman yun yung certain ka na sa mga katagang, 'love at first sight'? Yung alam mo na nakatagpo mo na ang taong bubuo sa pagkatao mo. Yung tinatawag nilang apple to your pie or yung icing sa ibabaw ng cupcake mo, yung mga ganern. Whatever it is, siguradong sigurado si Dae that what hit him that one trivial night was that thing they called love. And being the stubborn spoiled brat that he is, he'll do whatever it takes to get his love of his life to reciprocate to his undying love. He even made it possible to get married to his dearest. Ang tanong, will he be able to make Knightly fall in love with him considering that he is gay and the object of his affection is straight? And how can he make their marriage work when his love is unrequited? Started: June 2020 Ended: May 2021
