Always Liked but Never Pursued

For Clyvants Ishmael, he is the type of guy that is not hard to be like. Lahat kasi ay madali niyang nakasusundo, lahat kasi ay kaya niyang pakisamahan... at hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero lahat din kasi ng nagugustuhan niya ay nagugustuhan siya pabalik.

But that all changes when he realizes he is the type of guy who's always liked, but never pursued romantically. Palaging ginugusto pero tinutuldukan na lang nang hanggang doon. Palaging ginugusto pero palagi ring pinagsasawaan. Palaging ginugusto pero hindi kayang sugalan.

One night at a club, he met Hoshea Nathan, but unlike Yael, Hoshea was never liked by anybody. Kahit ang mga magulang niya ay inaayawan siya, pakiwari niya'y lahat ng tao ay kaya siyang talikuran. But one day, Hoshea wakes up in the morning seeing himself being liked by someone. Pero ang tadhana ay malupit, dahil sinukuan din siya ng natatanging taong gumusto sa kaniya.
