Two boys, Ersel and Lino, were childhood best friends for three years. One day, while Lino went to visit his grandparents with his parents for several days, Ersel suddenly goes to Manila with his parents without even leaving a word or letter, making the former sad and angry. Ten years later, the two suddenly meet again as college students. How will Ersel make up to Lino for disappearing without a word ten years before? Will their friendship go back to the way it was? Or will their meeting trigger a new emotion - love?

Back to Our Paradise

Van and Ersel went to the park inside the school together to make sure that they were far enough for Lino and the others to hear. They looked for a shady spot since the sun was so high. 


“So? What are your two plans, man?” Van inquired with a serious facial expression. 


First, Ersel looked at the time on his phone and said, “Okay, we still have some time before our next class.” Next, Ersel also wore a serious facial expression and, while looking directly into Van’s eyes, replied, “Well...Van, these two things that I would ask you to do might be too much for you, so…” Ersel’s eyes went down to stare at the grasses and continued, “...I’m not really sure if you would agree to them.” 


Van’s eyes narrowed to look at Ersel more closely, and the former could see that the latter felt somehow embarrassed about assigning the former with the two seemingly hard-to-do missions.
