Frank Guzman is a sociable and over-achieving business management student who excels in everything. However, he has two secrets. One, he has never fallen in love. He's happy on his own and was never really attracted to anyone else. Two, for some weird reason, he can sometimes see other people's future. This isn't useful nor even interesting to him though. First, he cannot choose whose future he can see. Second, he can only see one particular event in some random day in that other person's future life.
Drake Domingo is a popular varsity player with a long history of flings and is notorious for not dating a girl for more than two weeks. His world revolves strictly around basketball and dating. He has his entire life figured out: He'll graduate as MVP, play basketball professionally, and maybe start a family when he gets tired of flirting around.
Pluem Guzman is Frank's older brother and Drake's best friend. However, he is way more similar to Drake than he is to Frank. While Frank enjoys the company of their dads, Tay and New, Pluem had built a wall between him and the rest of his family. Two, he's not an achiever either. In fact, if it wasn't for his parents, he would have been kicked out from the university a long time ago.
Chimon Fernandez is a complete clone of Frank. He's also friendly, smart, talented in his own right and over-all, a nice, likeable person. But unlike Frank, he was born to poor parents and was only able to enroll at USC because of a scholarship. Growing up in a poor family has made him extra kind to everyone. He's humble but driven, simple but ambitious.
As one of them loses both parents in an accident while one of them gets diagnosed with cancer, their lives become entangled. Frank's 'vision' of his future husband doesn't help either. Especially not when he has never been attracted to anyone in his entire life. Especially, not to another man.
"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you."

William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life.
His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark.
He can't help it, this is just how it's always been.
Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be.
With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex.
Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up.
He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child.
Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh.
On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead).
