In the tranquil yet subtly complex world of Apo University, Nine and Aya, bound by a unique friendship, navigate the pressures of academics and a budding romance. But as Aya dreams of the Ambassadress crown, a hidden truth about Nine's past—a dark family secret—threatens to unravel their delicate balance. Can their bond survive the shadows emerging from Nine's past, or will the pursuit of justice and personal ambition tear them apart?

The tranquil quiet of Apo University's two-week break was a temporary reprieve, a calm before the storm of sophomore year's pressures. Birds chirped, green trees swayed, and only a few students broke the silence. The cycle of eat, study, and sleep was about to resume, a relentless rhythm for ambitious students like Nine, who felt the weight of expectations.

“Nine, let’s go. I’m hungry,” Aya whispered, her voice a soothing balm that sometimes felt like a tease. She thumped his shoulder, a surprisingly heavy touch for someone so angelic. Nine chuckled at his own thoughts, the absurdity of her strength.

“Aya, you know what?” he began, stepping closer, close enough to hear her heart beat a rapid rhythm. He raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “Why does your heart beat so fast?”

Her face flushed crimson, eyes wide. “What?” she squeaked, a high-pitched protest.

“We need to go, you’re hungry, right?” he said, taking her hand and leading her away, heading toward her favorite fast-food chain. The conversation, the unspoken truth between them, could wait. It wasn’t the right time. Not yet.
