Ang grupo ng magkakaibigan na kinabibilangan nina Ezekiel, Mario, Landre, Warren, Peter, Gino, Kent, Zeke, at Zack ay madalas magkita-kita sa isang lugar na tinatawag na THE BOY'S BAR. Si Ezekiel ang bida sa kuwento, isang modelo na kamakailan lang ay naghiwalay sa kanyang ex-wife na si Cyline. Dating palabati at palakaibigan si Ezekiel pero naging malayo at mailap matapos ang kanilang paghihiwalay.

Si Mario naman ay isang freelance photographer na kilala sa kanyang palabang personalidad at mga corny na biro, kaya madalas siyang hindi pinapansin. Si Landre ang pinakamatanda at mas mature sa grupo, nagtatrabaho bilang isang abogado. Si Warren ay isang singer na may kontrata sa MSP entertainment, kilala sa kanyang rebeldeng ugali at sa pagtakas sa kanyang manager paminsan-minsan.

Si Peter ay modelo rin, ngunit nahihiya siya kapag nasa harap na ng kanyang crush, na nagkataon namang manager ni Ezekiel. Si Gino naman ay nagtatrabaho bilang western chef sa DON QUIXOTE at kilala sa pagiging palakaibigan, mahinahon, at sweet. Si Kent ay isang detektive, binansagan na A Quiet Handsome Detective ng mga fans niya na sa tuwing siya ang incharge as detective sa isang kaso , at may seryoso, savage at masungit na katangian.

Si Zeke ay modelo at social butterfly na kasal sa pinsan ni Ezekiel na si Irene. At sa wakas, si Zack, ang kambal na kapatid ni Zeke, ay may-ari ng isang bookstore at kilala sa kanyang mahinahon na ugali at pang prince charming na personalidad.

Ang kanilang mga pagtitipon sa THE BOY'S BAR ay tiyak na puno ng kasiyahan at mga kahanga-hangang kwento. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat, hindi maikakaila na mayroong malalim na kalungkutan si Ezekiel dahil sa kanyang paghihiwalay kay Cyline.

Landre, feeling deeply concerned for his long-time friend Ezekiel, decided to reach out to their close-knit group of friends for support. He knew that he couldn't face this complicated situation alone, so he enlisted the help of their mutual friend, Mario, to gather everyone at The Boy's Bar.

As Landre made the call to each of his friends, his voice filled with a mixture of worry and hope. One by one, they all agreed to meet at the bar, understanding the urgency in Landre's voice. They knew Ezekiel had been isolating himself in the old condo he used to share with his ex-wife, Cyline, for the past month, drowning in memories of their painful breakup.

When the group finally gathered at The Boy's Bar, Landre opened up about his concerns for Ezekiel. He explained how Ezekiel had visited the old condo alone, intending to celebrate what would have been their four-year anniversary. Landre's voice trembled as he spoke, revealing the weight of worry that had consumed him.

Faced with this revelation, their friends grew more worried for Ezekiel, understanding the depths of his self-imposed isolation. They had all witnessed the beautiful love story that Ezekiel and Cyline had shared, and it saddened them to see it come to such a painful end.

As the evening wore on, Landre and their friends discussed ways in which they could help Ezekiel break free from the clutches of his painful past. They knew that their love and support were crucial in guiding him towards healing. They decided to devise a plan to visit Ezekiel at the old condo, hoping to remind him of all the beautiful memories they had all shared together.

"Ezekiel needs us," Landre said, his voice filled with concern. "He's not the same person we used to know. It's been two years, but the pain still feels fresh for him."

Mario, who was busy capturing moments at the bar, stopped and looked at Landre. "You know, Landre, sometimes my jokes aren't even funny to me. But I still make them for all of you. For Ezekiel."

Landre smiled. "Thank you, Mario. I know you love Ezekiel too. All of us do."

Warren, who was in the middle of singing, paused and looked at them. "Guys, we know how much Ezekiel is hurting. But we can't help him if we don't let him face the pain."
