"What's okay? That I'm a mess?"
"We're all a mess, Pete. You're not special."
As comforting words go, that's not the best speech Kit has ever made.
However, it makes Pete laugh. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Pete, a Filipino born and raised in Thailand goes to the Philippines and meets Kit, a Thai-Filipino who knows Manila like the back of his hand. Amidst the hustle and bustle of Manila, they find themselves drawn to each other. They both have truckloads of emotional baggages but in between exploring the city and traversing complicated feelings, Kit and Pete learn to trust, let go, and fall.
However, things are rarely ever easy and their budding romance is tested when one of them learns that their unexpected meeting is, in fact, not as random as it seems.

When I spoke, his eyes glimmered, but the next thing I knew, his eyes were blank. The gentleman I knew was changing in front of me because of me, and that hurt.
