Tien's three friends - bartender Yu, flamboyant CC, and fitness fanatic Alan - are worried about Tien's growing interest in Bai and warn him off with an exaggerated tale of Bai's scandalous past, in which the heartbroken became a heartbreaker.

Despite this, fate keeps bringing Tien and Bai together, until they finally acknowledge their love for each other and spend the night together. But the next morning, Bai goes missing while Tien is in the shower. Unbeknownst to Tien, Bai has a secret that changes everything...
