Lia Santiago is always late—but it’s never because she’s careless. Between helping her family, juggling part-time work, and surviving school, she barely has time to breathe. Enter Damien Delgado: mysterious, charming, and always waiting at the gate, iced coffee in hand, with a teasing smirk that never fails to annoy her. What starts as playful morning banter quickly turns into something more. Sticky notes, shared walks, and whispered jokes become a rhythm they both secretly look forward to. But when small misunderstandings and rumors threaten their budding connection, Lia and Damien must navigate their feelings, their insecurities, and the delicate timing of love. Because sometimes… being five minutes late is exactly how you arrive on time for the heart.
