Gabriel Manalo is the golden boy everyone adores.

Tall, athletic, polite, with "Clark Kent" glasses that hide the sharpness of his gaze.

On the surface, he's every parent's dream and every girl's crush.

But when it comes to Samantha de Leon, his mom's best friend's daughter, he turns into a storm-short-tempered, easily provoked, and annoyingly competitive.

Underneath the bickering, though, is something he doesn't admit even to himself.

She's the only one who can get under his skin because she's the only one who matters.
