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

Meanwhile, while the boys were going back to the university, Lino still could not believe that he had felt agitated about Ersel bumping into the former. Unbeknownst to Lino, Xavier was also watching him when he stared at Ersel with the cold, piercing glare. 


[What’s wrong with me?] Lino thought with his face looking very serious. [I can’t believe that I got mad after Ersel bumped into me. Am I really that easily agitated or what?] 


[Lino’s looking so serious again.] Xavier thought while observing Lino very closely. [He even stared at Ersel with that intense glare while we were in the convenience store, and it bothers me so much for some reason. I should talk to him.] 


“Hey, Lino,” Xavier called, which caught Lino’s attention quickly this time. 


“Yes, Xavier?” Lino asked while looking directly at Xavier’s eyes. 


“Are you okay, man?” Xavier said with his usual gentle smile. 


Lino smirked to hide what he was actually feeling and replied, “Of course, man. What’s the matter?”
