Traditions are important for some families. It is to keep the bond and trust of each other. 

One family tradition has been practiced ever since. The first child and second child both families should have an arrangement of marriage. May it be heterosexual or homosexual, no one can escape such tradition. Zyaire, 24, has been in love with his childhood crush though he has a girlfriend. But what will happen if he found out his childhood crush was a guy?

While Zyaire's best friend who treats him with care, love and treasures him deeply,likes him as well. Lots of betrayal and sorrow might come for Zyaire but who will he choose?

What if?

I woke up all while his jacket covered me and leaning against his shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked, caressing my face. 


"Yeah," I said with a hoarse voice as I leaned down and crawl a little bit, sitting on his lap while facing him. After resting some more, we wore our clothes and got back to driving as I slept some more. Lucas woke me up as soon as we arrived at the parking lot while Markus was outside, waiting with grumpy Christian. I guess something more happened with Caesar. 


I opened the door and stood up, but slightly stumbled as I took another step. Luckily, Lucas caught me. "Does your hips still hurt?" he whispered. 


I covered my right ear as I began blushing, slapping his shoulder jokingly. "Okay, friends with benefits. Time to separate," Markus sighed as they both approached us. Markus hugged Lucas and said his goodbyes and waved at Christian. "Take care, bastard." Markus pats his back. 


I looked at him directly in the eyes and was about to say take care but he requested both Markus and Christian to get his luggage as he held both of my hands, pulling me a bit closer to him. He kissed my forehead, saying "I give up," he smiled. "I was planning on to do that as soon as I took off but... The sooner the better?" 


I couldn't say anything as I looked at his face, crying while smiling. I stretched out my hands to his face, trembling as it hurts me inside, wiping his tears. "I love you and be happy," he cried. 


He held my hand, handing me his car key and key to his house, as he leaned down and gave me a kiss, taking his luggage and walk away, not bothering to look back. If only I knew it was the last time, I would've hold on to him and didn't let him go. 


"Lu...cas," I called, softly, while being frozen on my place. As tears streamed down my face, I came to realize how much of a coward am I again. I kept overthinking that I didn't even realize that I was in Lucas's car with Markus, driving. 


"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Markus said, patting my shoulder. 


"Markus," I called "Have you... ever... like have been dating someone in the present but then suddenly a person comes in and makes you feel some kind of connection?" 


"Hmmm, can you widen that thought more?" 


"Like for example, you're dating your friend which you always believed that she's the one. But then this person comes in, who makes you curious about him and unconsciously falls in love." 


Markus stayed quiet for a while as he thinks. "Maybe?" he answered. "I dated this girl for a while when we were in college. Then... I guess Lucas told you... I somehow met that Ian guy. I've noticed him for a long time but I was shocked that-" 


"No need to explain the part about the one night stand," I said
