In Kyle’s early 20’s, he experienced lot of heartbreaks. All the girls he dated has only one same reason for dumping him.
‘It because you are too kind.’
When Kyle dated Sharmaine, he thought he finally found a woman whom he will spend all of his days with. But just like his past relationship, she dumped him in the most miserable way.
Kyle knelt down, even begged not to leave him alone. Yet Sharmaine left him alone in the rain.
‘Ahh. Maybe I am not really a person deserves of love,’ Kyle thought.
The rain poured down. He stayed on his position, kneeling. He was too embarrassed that he does not have any strength left to stand and flee. Until someone approached and shed him shelter under an umbrella.
Kyle lifted his head to see who is this good Samaritan. Her eyes are small and her cheeks are fluffy, making her look innocent.
“I am giving free umbrella,” she said. “Go and get this.” After handling the umbrella on his hand, the woman turned her back and left.
Vincent and Slyvester told Kyle that he has emophilia, someone who tends to fall in love fast and often. Kyle would agree. Because if there’s really nothing wrong in him, then he won’t get interested at the woman who only gave her the umbrella after he broke up from Sharmaine.
‘I am really crazy,’ Kyle admitted.
Ever since he met that girl, she never left his mind. However, he was relieved that he won’t meet her again. Yet the one in a million chances happened.
Ryan came into the boarding house as his new boardmate.
Was it really a coincidence? What if this his prayers were answered in this way?
“What is your ideal type?” Ryan read out the question that Kyle prepared.
It was him who wrote it, taking the 16% chance that she will pick it up. Kyle couldn’t stop the smile on his lips. He thought it’s really his destiny to meet her again. However…
“I don’t have an ideal type,” Ryan answered, scratching her nape. “But I am waiting for someone.”
Kyle’s smile faded away. Based on Ryan’s answer, it’s clear that her heart already belongs to someone else. Therefore, Kyle chanted this spell on himself:
‘Why should I fall in love with someone who likes another guy? I’ll just hurt myself again.’
Since then, Kyle promised never to harbor feelings with Ryan.

Yawning with disheveled hair, Kyle walked down the stairs. As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, which is the first place he goes to every morning, he saw the anti-social guy in the area.
“Good morning,” Kyle greeted the guy who’s having a coffee and reading newspaper.
He glanced at Kyle.
And that’s all.
No greeting, no hello, nothing.
Well, Kyle anticipated he won’t get anything from the anti-social guy named Terban.
“Ahhh,” Kyle gasped, as if remembering an important thing to say to Terban. “We make schedule for those who will prepare the breakfast.”
“I don’t want to prepare breakfast for another people,” said Terban, then flipped the next page of the newspaper.
Kyle’s lips twitched. There’s a limit on his kindness after all.
‘How dare he when he’s younger than me,’ Kyle cursed internally.
“Don’t mind him,” Vincent came into the scene. “I don’t want to eat the food prepared by a bastard like him.”
Terban placed the newspaper down. He looked at Vincent who called openly called him ‘bastard’ without filters.
“Did you just call me bastard?” Terban asked.
Vincent smiled at him and repeated, “BAS-TARD.”
Kyle quickly held Vincent’s shoulder. He whispered, “Vincent, don’t start a fight with him.”
“It’s too early to fight, guys,” Chaylen complained, entering the kitchen. He is half naked with only a batman printed boxer.
Terban shook his head at the horrible sight.
“Hey. Did you steal my ice cream?” Vincent accused Chaylen.
“It is yours?” Chaylen pretended innocent. “Sorry. I will just buy you a new one.”
“Next time don’t touch my things,” Vincent bickered.
“I apologized, okay? You should put label on your things, next time.”
Kyle stayed silent. He wanted to nag at Chaylen because he clearly told him not to mess with Vincent’s ince cream, yet Chaylen ignored his warning. However, once it reach Vincent that Chaylen deliberately stole his ice cream despite knowing the truth, Kyle feared that Vincent will cause havoc.
“It seems everyday these cockroaches will be this noisy,” Terban whispered to himself, which reached the ears of the three.
They all looked at Terban.
“C-Cockroaches?” Kyle repeated in disbelief.
“We? Me?” Chaylen even pointed his handsome face.
Vincent sneered. He approached Terban then…
“Oops,” he murmured before he bumped his hand against the sandwich on the table. It fell on Terban’s pants.
“F*ck!” Terban cursed, standing up. He wiped the crumbs in his pants and stared back at Vincent.
“Sorry,” Vincent said in not so sorry tone. “As a cockroach, I didn’t mean to do that.”
“You sh*t,” Terban murmured before he grabbed Vincent’s collar.
“Wow. This is entertaining,” Chaylen reacted, as if he’s watching a movie.
On the other side, Kyle went busy to set the two apart.
“Stop it, guys! Why are you bickering over a small thing? You’re not elementary students for Pete’s sake!”
“Just let them be,” Chaylen instigated. “Give them knives so they can stab each other.”
Terban and Vincent both looked at Chaylen and said in unison, “Shut up.”
“Woah,” Chaylen gasped. “After fighting each other, I am your next target?” He clapped his hand. Chaylen did add gasoline on the fire.
Slyvester came to the scene. His eyes were still closed as he walked towards the kitchen. Just like Chaylen, he is also just wearing a spongebob printed boxer. Maybe it slipped out of his mind that there’s a woman in this house.
“What’s up?” Slyvester asked.
“Good morning boxer buddy,” Chaylen greeted Slyvester and even offered a high five.
Though confused, Slyvester gave him high five. He was in daze, not until Ryan arrived.
“Good mor…” Ryan was about to greet when he saw the two men wearing nothing but their thin boxers.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” She screamed and covered her eyes.
“Oh sh*…!” Slyvester gasped before he hid behind Chaylen, who also wears nothing but his batman boxer.
