But it becomes different...

when the person you believe is the one for you... finally arrives.

Right there at that moment...

you'd finally want to take the leap.

Ben, what's up? How are you?

Wow! Nothing has changed.

Hey! You're speechless!

It's just me.

Uh... Jim, it's you!

That's too much of a reaction.

Good thing you're awake.

You woke me up.

How are you?

Did I miss you? Not that much--

What are you doing here?

As usual, Nanny Elma only cooked a vegetable dish.

I'm starving.

For sure, you have leftovers here.

It's really you.

Can't you believe that it's really me?

Do I seem like a dream to you?

You always dream of me, don't you?

That's how much you missed me!

How arrogant!

Never! I didn't even know you were coming back.

I actually forgot about you already.

Oh? Is that why Nanny Elma told me you were there

at our house the whole day waiting for me?

I was just keeping her company

because she's alone, I feel lonely for her.

Wow!

Did you make this?

It's my favorite! Did you bake this for me?

No. I am selling those! I'm an online seller.

Aren't you studying? Computer Engineering?

See! Why do you know that?

Are you stalking me on social media?

-That's what I thought! - Of course!

I always ask Nanny Elma how my best friend has been doing here.

And you? I saw you heart reacting my post on social media.

Post? Heart? Where?

On social media!

Oh that? Well, that's nothing.

It's my support for you.

I pity that you put post videos there that no one reacts to.

That's just that.

See? You have time to check stuff like those,

but you never replied to my messages for you.

Message?

Yes, my messages.

Ah... well, I must have overlooked.

I'm not the one who opens my account sometimes.

Who does? Your girlfriend?

You were not expecting that I'm coming home...

yet Nanny Elma told me you fixed our tree house for me?

That's neat.

I have an idea. Let's drink there!

What? No! There's liquor ban.

Liqour ban? That's nothing. It's just the two of us.

They won't stop us. Let's go.

It seems like everything I do is not enough for that.

Picture this. I'm 24, turning 25

but he still sees me as an innocent kid.

Maybe he's just looking out for you.

I know, yes, he wants something for me.

But I want something different for myself too.

I want to explore a little bit.

I want to try everything.

Try?

Yes!

As in everything?

Everything!

Like with you.

What?

You! You can do anything you want.

Your mom is not controlling you.

You do online selling.

Maybe you're doing "shows" already?

Silly!

But...

Dad changed.

Ever since mom died.

He became very disapproving.

Wait, isn't your business booming in Davao?

Even that! Dad disapproves that!

He would always say

"Jimson, you are good for nothing".

See?

Wait...

why am I the only one telling stories.

How about you? Tell me, how have you been?

Perhaps you've brought a ton of girls there in your house,

because you have the place all to yourself.

There's none.

None? That's impossible!

Come on, spill.

Really, there's none.

Don't be so boring! Come on, tell me!

So, how many?

Jim, it's like this...

Okay, go on.

- I had relationships before... - See?!

Let's count them.

Like JC...

JC, that's one.

RC...

RC, two.

Jan...

Jan. That's three! You're something, man!

How many more?

There Olive... ver.

Olive. Then Ver?

JC, RC, Jan, Olive, Ver. Five?

You had five?

Uhm...

Oliver... James... Leo.

Wait, aren't those guys' names?

Ben, look at me.

Ben, I said look at me.

Ben!

That's okay!

Whatever makes you happy,

I'll support you.

I'll be there... as a friend.

Friends with benefits--

I mean best of friends.

As a friend, who's always there for you.

As a friend, okay? As a friend.

Yes, friend.

Don't worry,

I will remember that...

friend.

Don't worry,

I will never go more than that...

friend.

Okay...

friend.

friend.

Jimson...

Hey, it's getting late.

Let's go inside to sleep.

We'll get insect bites here.

Friend, I don't want to yet.

We're still drinking...

I'm not done with my beer yet.

Let's stay longer...

just promise to keep your hands off.

The nerve!

I will never touch you.

"Friend", what are you doing?

I thought you said no touching.

You assume too much. Never!

Stay here all you want. I'll go.

Jim...

get out of bed. It's lunch already.

I have hangover. Ben made me drunk last night.

Wow, so it's now my fault?

Hello loyal customers!

We are now back to our live selling.

And for our next item,

this is the Korean Samgyup grill set.

It's only 1,100 pesos, with drip cast

and pot for shabu-shabu.

- This is the perfect thing for your family bonding [Mark: Our live seller seems to be lifeless today.]

- this ongoing lockdown. - [Flo: He was awake all night thinking of Jimson Alcantara.]

- Reminders for commenters, perhaps it's nicer - [Vincent: The hot guy from Davao? Don't worry Ben, you're not alone.]

if you would only give related comments.

[Bogs: Ben, how's the job application? Are you still gonna wait for online graduation?]

Like what I said, please send related inquiries only.

- That's why-- - [Whistle]

Friend!

Isn't it too early to fantasize about me?

Excuse me, it's not early anymore.

It's already noon. You woke up late!

Oh, so when it's noon

it's okay to drool on me already?

The nerve!

What a jerk! [Flo: He's talking to someone.]

Hey, friend!

I didn't know you're there.

I'm about to fix this car, do you want to give me a hand?

Uhm... I don't think I want to.

You might surmise that I don't know anything

about cars just because...

Just because what?

Are you supposed to be confined to being domesticated?

Can't you be one who could also do manly jobs?

Not really.

Why? Are you trying to tell me that

you are good in everything?

I didn't say I'm good in everything.

I'm just doing what I'm good at, okay?

I know I'm not perfect,

I'm just willing to learn

and I know I could become more.

I heard you were good with women.

They said you broke a lot of

women's hearts in Davao.

Hey, hey, hey!

That's fake news.

I am very loyal.

And when I love someone,

I just stick to that person.

Unlike others who are out

to complete the letters in the alphabet.

JC... RC... O... J

Whatever!

So what now, are you gonna help me here?

I'll teach you how to handle the parts.

Who knows, I might let you handle some of my "parts"

you haven't handled before.

Instead of you filming me.

I'll go ahead!

Benny, have you seen the latest video of Jimson on social media?

Check it out! Take a look!

He's so hot!

Hot? He's full of himself!

You talk as if you know him so well.

Yes, I told you he lives next door.

He went home for the ECQ.

Really?

He assumes that just because I'm like this

I would automatically like him?

That I would chase after him?

That's the reason why a lot of gay men

are afraid to come out to their straight friends,

because they would instantly assume such.

As if we never had any connection as childhood friends.

Imagine how shallow he views me as a person.

It's already 2020 and he still thinks that way.

It's true that he's popular and all...

rich... self-made... sought after.

I could just imagine how people would be disappointed

once they see how medieval his mindset is.

No matter what you say, I will never change the way I see him.

I still stan him.

There is nothing who could say

that can make me hate him.

So, you're saying, that he's alone in his house now.

Yes.

So this video that he's fixing his car

was taken in his house?

Yes, that's in their yard.

So, if this video was taken today, and he's alone now

and you're also alone now...

that means...

you're the one who took and uploaded this video?

No! Not me!

Some other person who hates him must have done it.

I don't feel any hate on this unknown account.

In fact, it feels like the uploader has a crush on him.

Excuse me, I don't have a crush on him.

He's very arrogant.

His feet stink.

And in the morning, his mouth smells rotten.

So it was you who uploaded this anonymous video?

Alright, enough! I still have to do live selling.

Hey, sell your dignity first.

Because it's loud and clear. You have a crush on your childhood friend!

Whatever!

Ben, the call has not ended yet!

The lady of the house is so busy.

What do you want?

Why so grouchy?

I'm just here to borrow your Wi-Fi password.

Ours got disconnected.

There he is.

He's only kind when he needs something.

You're so ill-tempered.

There!

Thank you!

Don't be mad already.

when you uploaded my video?

Did I lash out on you?

I'm not the one who uploaded that.

Are you sure?

Who, then?

I only learned about it when a friend

messaged me that it was already circulating

on gay social media pages.

What did you say?

Circulating...

in gay social media pages.

You know what? Just leave.

Hey! What did I say wrong?

I don't mean to infer that you are--

which by the way is the truth--

Just leave!

It's already 2020 and you're still not politically correct,

shame that your father is a politician.

Perhaps that's the reason why people are shooing you away.

Even by your own parents.

[Let's bake the frustrations away. #ECQHits]

[That looks delicious]

[Nanny Elma, I didn't know you have IG]

[May I have some of that cake? Bring some here at our house.]

[Okay. I'll just finish it.]

I don't accept peace offering.

You are so rude!

I'm sorry.

Here's the cake you asked for.

This cake tastes really delicious.

You can begin selling this stuff.

I'm not confident yet.

The customers might not like it.

What are you talking about? It tastes good.

Hey, Jimson. Stop fixing that thing.

Come have a taste of this cake Ben made.

Nanny Elma, it's alright.

The one who made that might count it against me.

- No, I don't-- - Nanny Elma, that cake is for you.

Only for you.

Don't force it on people who think highly of themselves.

Really? I don't have any plans of tasting that.

How could someone so full of bitterness

make something delicious?

Everything he makes will end up bitter as well.

Nanny Elma, we are living perfectly fine here.

Until a nuisance arrives.

Self-absorbed, when the truth is,

he's being drive away by people.

Maybe that's why he was exiled here.

That's why Nanny Elma, that cake is only for you.

Finish it, all yours, because you're sweet and kind.

I will never touch that thing, I might get contracted with--

Nanny Elma!

I think I better go!

Thank you for everything.

For the moments we shared.

For the friendship.

I thought everything is still the same.

But clearly, you've changed.

That's why Nanny Elma...

I'll go ahead.

J... B... 06... 05... 2015...

June 6, 2015?

What an asshole!

Who does he think he is?

- Mine... - Leo?

How did you get here?

Mine, let's talk please.

I'm really sorry, okay.

I promise I won't hurt you anymore.

Just promise not to break up with me.

Are you drunk?

Mine... please call me mine!

I never agreed for us to break up in the first place.

Please, mine, come back to me.

You're drunk! Let's talk some other time.

No! We never broke up!

And I know that you still love me!

Not anymore.

What?

I don't believe you.

You're mine.

Leo, stop!

How dare you!

You know what Ben,

you should be thankful

that I'm still here lurking around for you.

You know why?

Because no one is there left to love you.

You can't brag about having anyone else...

because you have no one.

Wifey?

Jim... please.

What do you need from my wife?

Jim... please.

What's happening here? Who is this?

Who are you?

And who is this asshole?

Is he the one you replaced me with?

Mine?

Stop calling him mine.

He belongs to me.

I don't believe this shit.

Please mine, let's stop this nonsense.

Hey, Ben!

Come, let's play!

I don't know how to.

Come, I'll teach you how.

Jim, I have a favor to ask you.

Get a score from me first.

Hi, who are you looking for?

I'm looking for my boyfriend.

He lives in this house.

Boyfriend?

Yes, maybe you know him.

Jim? Jimson Alcantara.
