It's true, romance dies when you're together for so long.

Ten years with Paul...

Sometimes I feel he doesn't love me anymore.

Everytime he says "I love you" to me,

it feels just like a force of habit.

He never missed the chance to tell me.

In fact, he says it more often,

especially when he made a mistake that almost ruined our relationship.

I've forgiven him...

I think.

It seems you miss teaching, sir, huh?

Hey, hey.

Class is now in session.

So...

You were telling me you wanna weigh in

the pros and cons of a throuple relationship, right?

Well, I am here

to help you out with that.

- Oh no, sir is serious. - Hey.

You have to raise your hand

if you want to talk.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

So...

being in a throuple relationship

is both economical and practical.

Yes?

The main benefit of having a third is

we'll also be having a third source of income.

Okay, well...

technically, second source of income

since I'm still looking for a permanent job.

So, more like...

two point five sources of income.

- Where did you get this picture? - Hey!

Sir...

Where did you get this picture?

I searched for it online.

Any problem with that?

Moving on.

Second...

Our game nights will be more challenging!

Well, I'm tired of always winning.

Irrelevant. Next slide.

Is that even possible?

Uh, I don't know.

It's self-explanatory, right?

No, sir.

I deserve an explanation.

I deserve an acceptable reason!

Wow, seriously? That's what you deserved, really.

Mature!

Okay, maybe this will spice up our sex life, right?

Okay?

Okay, next.

Lastly...

being in a throuple relationship means we get to go back

to the getting-to-know-you part of our relationship.

And in my opinion, that's the most fun part of dating, right?

Any questions?

- None? - Ah, sir!

You mentioned earlier

that there are pros and cons.

So what are the cons?

Oh well, I know you're gonna ask.

So, are you ready?

Tada!

We'll be washing more dishes.

There's the con.

Thank you for your presentation, group one!

Hey! I've put some effort in that!

The ball is now in your court.

To be honest, I'm almost convinced.

Almost?

Still undecided?

I have to meet this famous Jeremy first.

Okay.

I thought letting someone enter our relationship would excite us both.

And Paul will love me the way he loved me before.

Eventually, I was surprised that he agreed.

Imagine...

a guy I met in a club

who was interested in dating us both?

I guess the world has gotten bigger and smaller at the same time.

How did we get here?

How did I end up hurting two people who are important to me?

Is it really over?

Sex was good.

Really good.

Coming from none at all...

everything seems good and calm.

But do you know the feeling of being in a crowd makes you even lonelier?

And you try your best to cover it so that the pain won't show?

That's how I felt...

Didn't you have breakfast with Paul earlier?

He usually skips breakfast. He just packs something for lunch.

Oh, I see.

You're good with cooking.

You could really be a chef.

Wow.

Hey. That's just sauteed corned beef.

I'll teach you how to cook so you won't be easily impressed.

Are you a good teacher?

You just miss teaching, right?

I still do some tutoring.

So, why did you quit your teaching job?

Uh...

Well, it's like...

I just realized that

I haven't really lived life to the fullest.

Mhm...

You're still young.

You've got your whole life ahead of you.

Yeah, I know. But...

How should I say this...

I want the full gay experience

that I missed out on while teaching in a strict Catholic school.

Okay, I get you.

How would you define a full gay experience?

To be honest...

I envy you.

Your stories...

Your experience in...

gay saunas, bars, things like that.

- For real? - I never experienced those before.

Oh, come on!

I don't label those as gay experiences.

It's just hook-up culture.

But I know what you mean.

Paul has been your only boyfriend, right?

And... me.

Yeah...

But...

It's not really the hook-ups I'm after.

I want...

to be in gay spaces doing gay things.

- Okay. - I mean...

What if being Miss Gay is really my calling?

Like that. Do the gayest of things, right?

Paul is not into that anymore.

You know, he used to be so fun.

But lately...

He's been promoted at work so...

as his position becomes higher,

so does his sense of responsibility.

Well, I guess you still have time to explore.

To do what you want.

You know,

you're my complete opposite.

Since I was a kid, I have always known I'm gay.

I didn't even need to come out to my mom.

Call it cliche, but my mindset ever since is

YOLO!

Pascual?

That's Piolo.

Why don't we hit the bar later?

It'll be fun, I promise.

There's a drag performance. You'll enjoy that, for sure.

- Let's ask Paul to come with us. - Goodness!

- He won't come. He has work tomorrow. - You sure?

- Yes. - Let's just try.

I have an idea.

Let's take a selfie!

Make yourself handsome, okay?

- Okay. - So he'll go.

Game.

- Be cute! - Fine!

There!

He can't resist now, for sure!

Join us tonight, Paul! Please!

There!

- You know... - Hmm?

I think I'm still hungry.

Why?

What would you like to eat? Huh?

Have you messaged Paul?

We don't have to ask for his permission.

Are you for real? Let's ask him to come.

Boo, Marlon and I are out dancing. Wanna join us? Please.

How many times do I have to tell you? This is not his thing.

Let's dance!

Really, maybe he'll be up to it. Just wait, okay?

Hey, don't you remember this is where we first met?

- Right? - Yeah, that's right.

Enjoy. Don't stay out all night.

Will you stop texting Paul? Are we gonna dance?

Okay, fine!

Let's dance!

Jeremy excites me.

He's cool,

spontaneous...

But is it all there is with Jeremy?

He's just...

fun?

And everytime I look at him...

I miss Paul.

I miss what we had.

With just one mistake...

everything changed.

Here's the menu, sir.

Menu?

I love Marlon.

And I'll tell him that over and over again.

But if I'm being completely honest,

I wasn't into this kind of relationship at first.

But if it's the only way to save our relationship, I'll do what he wants.

But why do I feel like

Marlon is drifting away.

And with Jeremy around,

why am I letting Marlon go?

Good thing you two are awake?

Where did you two sleep?

In the guest room. Where else should we?

You'll just get mad if we wake you up.

Did I just hit myself with a rock?

Should we cook?

Let's just have delivery.

- Jeremy? - Huh?

We'll cook, or have food delivered?

Delivery.

Do you, guys, have insurance?

We already have, you don't have to sell that to us.

You fool, I'm not even an agent.

There's just too many forms I have to fill out,

and my financial advisor, Keavy, is not replying.

What food do you like?

Let's just have fast food.

I don't like fast food.

Jeremy?

- Any would do! - Any won't do!

- Japanese food? - I don't like Japanese food take out.

Why don't you order for us?

What if you don't like it? That'll be a waste.

- Mexican food? - Burrito? No, I don't like that.

Wait, who did you list as your beneficiary?

I've put Marlon and Mom. He did the same.

Mexican food?

That could do, but...

How about Filipino food?

That's it. Let's get Filipino food.

Aren't you tired of eating that?

Don't you like that we both liked it?

Majority rules.

Wait, so you can list your partner as your beneficiary

even if you're not yet married?

What do you mean majority rules?

It should be unanimous!

Unanimous? What are we? A court jury?

Unanimous your ass.

What are you implying?

That you always have it your way.

You ask us what we like, then you'll shut it down.

And so we're forced to do

- whatever it is that you like. - That's because

I had to make decisions for all of us.

Well, our opinion is never good enough for you.

So now you and Jeremy are teaming up against me?

If only you'd go out with us, we wouldn't have time to talk about you.

Someone in this house needs to work.

Someone needs to be a grown-up here.

So what are you saying? Huh?

That I'm a burden? Hmm?

- Isn't it you who is... - What?

What is it, Marlon?

Never mind.

What I'm saying is, don't keep scores on us

because we're all putting an effort to manage this household.

I'm not keeping scores here. It's just that...

instead of you two talking behind my back,

just say it straight to my face!

Right, Jeremy?

- What? - Do you share his feelings, too?

You think, I'm controlling?

My god!

Can we just order on our own so we won't need to fight?

No! Answer my question!

No! Why don't you answer my question first!

When will you two update your insurance?

Jeremy! Can you be serious for once?

How did our insurance policy came into this?

I'm serious.

What is it that we're talking about here, anyway?

Isn't this about our relationship as a throuple?

Can't I raise a new concern we can fight over?

It's always me who has to adjust for the two of you!

Every single time you fight!

So, answer my question.

When will you two update

your insurance policies?

Hello, Keavy? Hello!

Oh, sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Just put my mom as my beneficiary,

and my emergency contact as well.

Okay, okay. Thanks!

When Jeremy entered our lives,

I thought Marlon and I would get along better.

But the way he sees me didn't change...

Marlon sees me as a failure.

And I understand why.

Maybe that's why I feel at ease with Jeremy.

He doesn't know my past.

He doesn't know our pain.

When I'm with him, it's chill...

He makes me want to forget and start all over again.

Paul?

What time will Marlon be home?

His tutorial's just for three hours.

Ahh...

Okay.

And what about you?

Let me just finish this.

Um...

Paul...

I'm sorry I got mad yesterday.

I know I shouldn't have asked you about the insurance policy.

I mean, how can I even measure up to Marlon, right?

You've been together for ten years

and I have just been here with you for what, two months?

Sorry, I got upset as well.

Don't worry, we'll settle everything with Marlon.

Thank you. No rush, though.

Aren't you done with that?

You're always working.

And you even bring your work at home.

Well, I'm just new to the company

so I need to up my game.

Why? Are you the company president?

You'll never know...

One day!

But that's not a far-fetched goal.

How about you? What's your long-term goal?

What's the natural trajectory for your career?

What's that again?

Script superv...

Script continuity supervisor.

- Or script con. - There, there.

But I'm still happy.

You know, I'm still learning a lot.

Especially about film making.

Eventually, I would like to be an assistant director.

Then you'll be a director?

Oh! No, no, never! I don't want that!

So how are you going to make me a star then?

You? A star?

Would you like to be a bit player first?

Besides, I don't want the pressure of being a director.

When the shooting's done, what I wanna do is

pack up, go home, and sleep.

But at least you know what you want in life, so...

that's good.

Ask me again in five years, I might change my mind.

Whatever it is, I will support you.

All the while I thought we wouldn't get along.

Stop thinking about it.

You and Marlon are different.

He's been jobless for almost two years, so...

I'm just worried.

Is that why you've been arguing with him?

I'm not arguing with him.

To be fair,

he seems happier since you've been here.

And more carefree.

The question is, is he the only one who's happy?

Of course, I'm happy too.

So, make up with him, please?

We're not fighting.

You know what, I have an idea.

Valentine's Day is approaching, right?

- So? - Don't think about that just yet.

Sometimes, I wonder...

Who is this all for?

Is this for Marlon's happiness...

or mine?

I'd hate to admit it, but I'm beginning to question...

If it's right to love another one...

We've been waiting for you, Marlon. It's Valentine's Day. Where are you?

Marlon. Marlon? Answer us!

Where are you? Hello?

Sir, what time should we serve the food?

Just a moment, we're still waiting for someone.

Alright.

Boo...

Do you think Marlon would like this?

Of course.

If he shows up. I've been texting him nonstop.

- What? - He's not answering.

Maybe he's just stuck in traffic. He'll be here soon.

What a waste if we can't use this place.

I hope Marlon shows up.

I'm hungry.

Aren't you hungry, too?

Actually, I'm starving.

He could be here any moment. Let's just wait for him.

I should have told him the day before,

so he could free up his schedule.

It's not your fault, okay?

It's our first Valentine's together.

I really wanna make it extra special.

We can still make it special.

How?

Happy Valentine's Day, boo.

Aw!

Wow!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Aren't you bored?

I wanna do something.

Let's go.

What is it?

Jeremy, wait.

- We're in a public place. - So?

The waiters might see us.

Boo, loosen up.

Free your mind. I got you, okay?

We're just killing time while waiting for Marlon.

I’ve never done it in a restaurant.

Well, I'm so glad I'm here with you for your first time.

Do you know where my friends went?

Sorry, sir, I don't know. I'll see if they're in the restroom.

Okay, thank you.

Sure, sir.

Wow.

Wow.

Oh... Am I disturbing you?

I've been waiting for you downstairs.

- Is it good? Huh? - Marlon.

Is this what you two have been doing when I'm not around?

Marlon, come on. Join us.

No, no. Go ahead.

Don't mind me. Finish up first.

- Go, I'll wait for you guys to finish. - Please don't make a scene.

- You're drunk. - So what if I'm drunk?

And I don't care if they could hear us here.

What's your problem?

We've been waiting for you. It's our Valentine's dinner.

It's already late and you got here just now.

Well... It looks like you're having fun without me, right?

- You're both doing good without me! - Wait.

Are you jealous?

Can't we have sex without you?

But if it's the two of us screwing, I guess that's okay for you.

Jealous?

That’s not what I'm feeling right now.

- I feel betrayed. - What?

- Where did that come from? - I was just shocked.

You expect me to believe that?

Words have meaning, Marlon.

You can't just say that I betrayed you,

then act surprised by my response.

I don't know how any of this can be a shock to you.

Why don't you ask Paul?

What is he saying, Paul?

Yeah.

Why don't we talk about it, Paul?

Why don't we discuss

how you screwed your office mate

on your office table?

What's his name again?

- Dave, right? - Why do you keep bringing up the past?

We're done talking about that, right?

I tried to forget about it, Paul. I really tried.

I'm still trying.

But you can't expect me to just move on as if it didn't happen.

You know what...

Deep down, I believe you're doing nothing wrong.

But...

Why am I feeling this way?

Why do I feel like you're cheating on me all over again?

What do you want?

I've done everything for you.

I resigned from my high-ranking job.

You wanted a throuple relationship? I said yes to that.

Gay experience? Here we are.

Damn it, Marlon! What else do you want?

What else?

No matter what you do,

you can't change the fact that you cheated on me.

Because I'm still hurting.

If that's how you feel, we should have just broken up then.

Wait a sec. Answer me.

What am I here for?

Who am I to you, huh?

Tell me, Marlon.

Did you just use me to hurt Paul?

- Jeremy, it's not like that. - No.

Answer me, Paul.

Did you just give in to Marlon

because you regret cheating on him?

I thought we were really into each other.

But it seems like the two of you just used me.

Huh?

All this time...

I thought you both loved me.

I'm sorry.

I’m sorry if I can't fix your damaged relationship.

I’m sorry if I'm not the right person for the both of you.

It's over.

It's tough to enter into an already dying relationship.

And Paul and Marlon knew that.

No band-aid can heal their failing relationship.

- Welcome home! - Wow! Thank you, guys!

Gosh, this was a surprise.

- You shouldn't have bothered. - What's that?

Air fryer, a gift from mom.

- Oh, let me help you with that. - Thank you.

Come on, Jeremy.

Wow!

You’re cute.

I made beef stew for lunch.

Isn't that your favorite?

- Yes! - I know.

Now I'm hungry.

So, what do you think?

Marlon, this is such a nice place!

Well, thanks to Paul.

- Make yourself at home! - What a pity.

I loved them both.

Aw...

You and Paul traveled a lot together.

It's difficult because...

- it feels like twice the pain. - This house is so full of your memories.

Don't worry, we'll add to that.

We can travel to places Paul and I already visited,

or we can go to places we all haven't been to.

- Do you promise that? - Promise.

- Us three? - We'll make new memories.

- Thank you. - Starting today... Come on.

- Let's take a selfie. - Okay, okay.

Come here, Paul!

Let's take a selfie with your phone.

Maybe if they were okay when I came in...

Happy first day. One, two, three.

- Happy first day. One, two, three. - ...we could've lasted.

Smile!

One, two...

Cheese!

Maybe if they were just honest from the start...

What a waste.
