Replying...
Intro. The rain poured softly over the streets of Seoul as the memory of five years ago still haunted Michael John — the Filipino boy who once believed love could change someone’s heart. Back then, he was known as the quiet, overweight student at a Korean college. His appearance made him an easy target of whispers and stares, but he ignored them all when the most handsome boy on campus asked him out. For months, he thought he was living in a dream — the laughter, the warm hugs, the promises whispered under the neon lights. But dreams fade fast when the truth hits. One afternoon, hidden behind a classroom door, he overheard his boyfriend laughing with his best friend — saying that dating Michael was just for fun. His world shattered in silence. Without a word, he left the school, the city, and that version of himself.
