Faced with trauma throughout the years, a lurking pain continues to haunt his supposed to be joyous college life along with Jenna, who shoulders Peter's worries, and Owen, who lives a blissful life, influencing Peter to do the same.

After summer break, the trio continues to thrive in the academe and society, however they did not expect an addition to their group, Henry. His entrance was nevertheless beguiling to the three, even though someone never admitted it. The foundation of their group started shaking as feelings started to surface within the group. Henry and Peter share one common thing, a tragedy which they never thought they sunk to. As the days pass in Peter's life, the livid scenes endured in his mind despite being surrounded by optimists.
Henry and Peter's connection were something that brought them closer together, but at what cost? What will happen to the four when things became shaky?

Secret relationships (alternative story)
ANOTHER REALITY OF SECRET RELATIONSHIPS In a world where emotions are hidden behind the masks of social conventions, four young men find themselves entangled in a labyrinth of forbidden feelings and unexpected connections. This story is inspired by the Korean series Secret Relationships but unfolds in an alternate universe, where familiar characters take on entirely new personas, with different personalities and reimagined events. The first six chapters pay homage to the original plot (though they are not identical), but then the story takes a turn in a completely new direction, diverging from the original narrative. Four distinct personalities, four different destinies, bound together by a complex web of emotions, passion, and inner turmoil. What happens when secret desires rise to the surface? When traditional notions of love are challenged by the undeniable truths of the heart? In this bold and intense story, the characters face a difficult choice-stay loyal to societal expectations or follow the call of their own hearts. Their personalities deepen, relationships grow more complicated, and emotions burn stronger than ever. From innocent encounters to fiery 18+ scenes.Complete
