🌙 Let's unfold Part 21,—a chapter where the breeze carries in not just peace, but reflection. Yam and Franc are no longer holding their breath. They’re finding a rhythm. But the thing about rhythm? It can shift. And sometimes, it leads you toward the next question you were afraid to ask.It started with a random comment over breakfast.Yam was cutting papaya. Franc was sipping lukewarm coffee. The fan was protesting softly—still alive, still dramatic.Franc said, “Do you ever think about what forever looks like?”Yam paused.“Define forever,” he replied.“Like... staying. Really staying,” Franc said. “Not just in this place. Not just in this chapter. In life. Together.”Yam set down his knife.“I think about it when I’m folding our laundry,” he said.Franc blinked. “That’s oddly specific.”“It’s when everything feels domestic and annoying and sweet. Like, I hold up your shirt and remember you complaining about how itchy it was. Or I find receipts in your pockets for things we laughed

🌠 Let’s glide into Part 23,—where Yam starts his residency in Manila and wrestles with solitude, inspiration, and the quiet ache of missing someone who now feels like a part of his every breath. Meanwhile, Franc holds their home steady, finding new ways to stay close even from afar.Manila is a noise.The kind that didn’t ask permission. Cars spoke in honks, buildings stood taller than dreams, and strangers passed with steps that didn’t look back.Yam arrived clutching two bags and one notebook. He was met by a coordinator named Sari who wore neon earrings and talked fast, but kindly.“Your space is small but cozy,” she said, guiding him into a shared studio. “Let it become yours.”The room had white walls, a desk with a flickering lamp, and a mattress that squeaked when he sat down. It didn’t smell like Franc. It didn’t hum like Sir Spins-a-lot. But it held space. And Yam promised himself he’d fill it with truth.Days passed.Workshops were intense. Writers shared trauma like curren

🌈 Here’s Part 25,—where Yam and Franc begin to realize that coming home isn’t the end of the journey, it’s a doorway. Their love has held through chaos, growth, and separation. Now, the question isn’t “will we last?” but “how do we thrive?”Yam’s bags were still by the door when he collapsed onto the couch.Franc joined him seconds later, legs draped over the armrest like he’d never stopped waiting. Sir Spins-a-lot whirred above them, faithfully offbeat.They didn’t speak at first.Just breathed.Then Yam said, “You repainted the sunflower.”Franc nodded. “She deserved a second bloom.”Yam smiled, tracing the edge of the mural on the wall.“So do we,” he said.The days that followed felt like relearning routine.Yam noticed the way Franc tapped his fingers when making coffee, the way he hummed while folding laundry, the way he paused before sending a text—like every word mattered now.Franc noticed Yam’s quiet glances out the window, his laughter when reading old poems, the way he al

🌟 Let’s drift into Part 27—the moment where Yam and Franc find themselves standing at the threshold of something unexpected: possibility beyond what they ever imagined. Their story, once a private rhythm between two hearts, now echoes in rooms they’ve never stepped into. But fame isn’t their goal—it’s connection. Let’s see what that brings. The email arrived on a Monday. Subject: International Literary Conference Invitation – “Love in the Margins” Yam stared at it. Then reread. A literary group based in Singapore wanted them to speak—together. About the power of storytelling, vulnerability, and queer love woven into everyday life. They’d found the book through a blog review that called it “a tender rebellion against silence.” Franc walked in mid-stare, setting down a bag of pandesal. “What happened?” he asked. “We’ve been invited,” Yam said, voice barely steady. “To do what?” “Speak. Tell our story. Abroad.” Franc blinked. “We’re exporting shelf chaos?” Yam laughed nervous

🌿 Stepping into Part 29—the chapter where Yam and Franc turn dreams into doors. Their studio isn't just paint and poetry now; it's possibility. And that quiet hope they sketched during rainy afternoons? It’s ready to welcome the world.Yam and Franc had always been dreamers, their minds filled with visions of a world where art and emotion intertwined seamlessly. When they stumbled upon the idea of creating a sanctuary for those seeking solace and inspiration, they knew they had found their calling. They called it Tahanan Para sa Titig, a home for gazes, a place where the soul could rest and the heart could speak.The transformation of the side room was a labor of love. They spent days scrubbing the walls until they gleamed, painting the windowsills in vibrant blues and yellows that seemed to hum with life. A cozy beanbag nestled in the corner invited visitors to sink into its embrace, while a small wooden shelf held a curated collection of books—some penned by local writers, others b
