5 years ago was Ohm and Nanon's biggest break. It was the airing of their series entitled Bad Buddy.

During and After the airing of the Series was one of the busiest years of their career, it comes with multiple partnerships with companies and brands. And more dealerships means that they have to spend more time together.

It was exciting. Getting all the attention, bagging all the awards and sponsorships. But Nanon's young and naive self was unaware of what might come with it.

It was just like this night today. A chilly but peaceful night. Everything was the same.

Except it wasn't.

Nanon received a message.

"Nanon let's hang at the usual"

He thought it was the same 'hang' that he always received. Where they go to their favorite coffee shop, getting the same drinks, talking about everything.

Talking about how everything seems to pass by faster than they imagine and at that moment they pause. They are not actors, they are not a figure, and they don't have a million followers. They are just simply, them.

And that is enough. More than enough.

The late-night coffee, the cold breeze, the snickering, and the peaceful conversation became the bubble that protects them from the noise of judgment, the flood of expectation.
In this bubble lies Ohm and Nanon, away from the media and closer to each other. Closer to themselves.

Nanon got to the coffee shop at the usual time. He was met with Ohm sitting casually at their table.

"What's with the dumb smile on your face?" Nanon said but unbeknownst to him he also had the same goofy smile

"Cause I have news that I want you to know first"

"What is it this time?"

"Oy just on time. Nanon since you are my one and only best friend I want you to know first. This is Lily.."

Just as he was saying the name of someone I don't know, an elegant lady walked to us. and Ohm wrapped his hands to her slender shoulder and said..

"my girlfriend"

Those were the last words that I remembered until I got to a phase of daze.

In the bubble we created to be the realest we can ever be, I lied.

I lied when I said I was happy for you. They were all lies, the smile, the laughter, the teasing that I gave you. But at that moment I didn't care.

I didn't care about the coffee. I didn't care about the bubble which was already one with the air. I didn't care about you. Because at that moment all I ever want to do was go home.

To forget, to forget that you ever
messaged me that night.

To forget the fact that when you tried to complete your heart,



you broke mine.
