"He was so sure about me before.So why did he suddenly act like I was never the person he wanted?"
✦ CHARACTER INTRODUCTION
CALIX DANTES
Age: 18
Height: 178 cm
Nationality: Filipino
Hair: Natural dark brown
Personality: Introvert, gentleman, calm, protective, thoughtful, quietly funny
Calix isn't the type to flirt with everyone.
In fact, he's the type who would rather stay quiet in a corner than start a conversation with someone he doesn't know.
But when he likes someone?
He makes an effort.
He's the kind of guy who remembers the smallest things.
Marc's favorite drink.
Marc's favorite snacks.
The time Marc usually goes home.
Even the random stories Marc told him months ago.
Calix never officially asked Marc to be his partner.
Instead, he chose the traditional way.
Courtship.
He would wait for Marc after class.
He'd send good morning messages.
He'd bring food whenever Marc forgot to eat.
He'd listen to Marc talk about his day—even when the story lasted an hour.
And whenever someone teased him about it, he'd simply smile.
"I'm serious about Marc."
Everyone knew.
Even Marc.
Especially Marc.
MARC SANTOS
Age: 18
Height: 175 cm
Personality: Friendly, independent, playful, slightly stubborn, caring, observant
Marc was used to people liking her.
But Calix was different.
He didn't rush.
He didn't pressure Marc.
He didn't demand an answer.
He simply stayed.
At first, Marc found it funny.
Then cute.
Then comforting.
Until eventually...
Marc started looking for Calix too.
If Calix wasn't around, Marc noticed.
If Calix didn't message, Marc wondered why.
And when Calix suddenly became quiet?
Marc couldn't understand why it bothered him so much.
Because technically...
They weren't together.
Calix was only courting her.
✦ THEIR FRIEND GROUP
JAY
Calix's best friend.
The first person to know that Calix liked Marc.
He's supportive—but also the type to constantly tease Calix.
"Bro, you're basically married already."
Calix would just roll his eyes.
NICA
Marc's best friend.
Protective of Marc and suspicious of Calix at first.
But after seeing how genuine Calix was...
She eventually became their unofficial shipper.
Unfortunately, she also notices when something is wrong.
And she's going to be the first one to ask:
"Calix... why did you stop?"
