That is the start of a beautiful friendship that Felix cherishes from the bottom of his heart.

After three years, the two decide to meet up, but what will happen when the person that Felix meets up with is the one who originally broke his heart by cheating on him? Will he truly be able to recover, or will he be giving his heart a second chance to either be mended or shattered even more?
