== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Adrien was born on 17 August 2027 at Tanay, Rizal, Philippines to Joshua Buenviaje, a mechanical engineer working at San Miguel Corporation, and Alexa Fernandez, a housewife. He was the third child and second son—having older siblings: Arron Jean and Alexis Jane; and younger siblings: Arlene Jenna and Austin Judah. Their father, hoping that all of them would be licensed engineers, was noted to be disappointed of him when he decided not to take an engineering course; when after passing the college entrance exam for aeronautical engineering, he decided to switch course at enrollment. Due to his impulse decision, his father gave him an ultimatum that he won't be paying for his tuition, which Adrien survived on by being a scholar from first enrollment until graduation.
It was during first day of first year college at PATTS College of Aeronautics, with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Air Transportation, did Adrien met Vasilisa Alyona Verano, the second child and eldest daughter of the current Chairman of the wealthy and famous Verano Group of Companies. Despite being of different status in life, the two became best friends when he had been the only one whom didn't take advantage of Vasilisa's popularity and wealth. It had been implied that he had fallen in love with her and decided to keep his feelings due to their social standing and in order to protect their friendship. Not to mention that at their initial meeting, Adrien was in a relationship with Kiara Yllana, his childhood sweetheart and classmate from elementary until high school. However, Kiara broke up with Adrien at the end of first year's first semester after accusing him cheating on her with Vasilisa.
Though it was true that Adrien had been infatuated with Vasilisa since the beginning, he didn't cheat on Kiara at all, which Vasilisa even laughed about because of the baseless accusation. Their friendship, however, led for Adrien to appear as some sort of Vasilisa's "gatekeeper" against anyone who would dare try to court her. After all, it had been known throughout the college as well that they were more than friends; even though the two insisted that there was nothing going on between them. Privately and between the two of them, they've started to grow feelings to one another.
Both Adrien and Vasilisa graduated as part of the Class of 2049 with honors: Adrien as Summa Cum Laude, and Vasilisa as Magna Cum Laude. The two separated ways on their own careers while still keeping on touch. Adrien decided to leave home right away after finding a job as a ramp agent of Malyari Air, the same subsidiary company that Vasilisa's family owned. Initially, Adrien was offered a flight training scholarship, but he declined.
