The story begins with the life of 4 close friends, Peachy, Wacks, Kiko and Chris. Wacks and Kiko met Mickey in a basketball game and they became good friends. Peachy met her old childhood friend, JM when she was riding her bicycle. JM suddenly hit Peachy's bike with his car. Love blossomed between them. But the couple only lasted for a while because JM was still in love his ex-girlfriend, Michelle. So he broke up with Peachy. But then when he was with Michelle, he realized that Peachy is the one he truly loves. Unfortunately, when he went back to Peachy, he saw her lock in an embrace with Joaquin. Since then, JM and Joaquin competed for Peachy's love and attention while Mickey and Cris started developing their love affair from a joke they actually created.
