Chrisnah Shely Perez has it all—a loving family, a close-knit group of friends, and a life of privilege. Despite her perfect world, she's never been spoiled; instead, she's kind-hearted, beautiful, and true to herself. Chrisnah is a lesbian, content with her circle of friends, and has no interest in romantic relationships. But her peaceful world is turned upside down when she meets Michael Gabriel Dela Fuente, a charming and bubbly new student who is, unexpectedly, a gay guy. 

Michael’s difficult upbringing couldn’t be more different from Chrisnah’s. Raised by a single father after being abandoned by his mother, Michael’s life has been a struggle. Yet, he’s determined to rise above his past. Even though he's confident in his identity as a gay man, his encounters with Chrisnah start to stir something in him—something that challenges both of them.

As they grow closer, their bond deepens into an unexpected romance that defies expectations and social norms. But just when it seems like they’ve conquered every obstacle, fate throws them a devastating curveball. Michael has been secretly battling a congenital heart disease his entire life, and now, his health is rapidly deteriorating. Chrisnah clings to hope, pushing Michael towards a life-saving heart transplant. 

But will love and faith be enough to overcome this ultimate test? Can Chrisnah share the life-changing news she’s been holding back, or is it already too late for their happily ever after?

She's He. He's She.

The roaring crowd beyond the curtain was loud enough to make my heart pound, but I wasn’t the one trembling. 


“Oh my gosh! Oh my GOSH!” Michael’s voice cut through my thoughts as he frantically paced in front of me, his footsteps echoing like anxious drumbeats backstage. 


I turned to him, watching as he nervously chewed his lip. His usual flamboyant persona had all but dissolved, leaving behind someone I barely recognized. Is this really Michael? The guy who could strut down the hallway like he owned the world? Right now, he looked like he might bolt at any moment. 


"Hey, are you okay?" I asked, though it was painfully obvious that he wasn’t. 


Michael froze mid-step, his eyes wide, darting from me to the stage and back again. "Girl, do I look okay?! Look at me!" His voice climbed an octave, panic filling every word. "I’m panicking, I’m not okay! I am NOT okay!"
