Бен и Джим

Ben, a 23 year old guy who lives alone, is supposed to graduate from college after 8 years, but then the pandemic happens. As soon as the lockdown starts, he begins selling online to pay bills and prove his parents, who already reside in the US, that he can make it here alone. Then, he learns from his next door neighbor’s housekeeper that his childhood friend, who he had been harboring deep feelings for, will return to spend the lockdown. Suddenly, memories of old feelings return to him, making him anxious about how it’s going to be between them this time.

After finally meeting his childhood friend Jim again, Ben try to reconnect with him, despite the obvious distance they now have. Worse, when Jim learns about Ben’s true self, he begins making his days uncomfortable for the latter. Is this the end of their friendship, or will Ben’s hidden feeling finally coke through?

Just as about Leo is to bring a dark cloud to Ben’s life, Jim arrives and rescues him. This simple gesture leads to them reconnecting once again ang being comfortable to each other. Ben begins to hope for him and Jim to take everything to the next level. And then... the girlfriend arrives.

Things were going right for Ben and Jim, but then Yana, Jim’s girlfriend arrives. Ben is once again brushed to the side. As Ben watches Jim and Yana with jealous eyes, he feels he is running out of time to have the chance to be with Jim. Will he hastily jump into making a move, or will he finally decide to let Jim go and bury his own feelings?

The previous night was a very awkward moment, and it became obvious as there’s friction between Jim and Ben days after. They want to reconnect and talk, but it seems like to one has the courage to do so. Jim feels Ben is slowly moving away from him, and an unexpected gesture from Olan makes Jim realize that Ben could slip out of his hand any moment, something that he’s not ready for.

Finally, Ben and Jim have told each other how they feel. This is not without all the complications and consequences. The moment of bliss between the two is to be cut short when all the outside forces come to haunt them; Jim’s relationship with Yana, Olan’s intention with Ben, Jim’s disapproving father, Leo’s return, and a dark painful secret lurking and just waiting to come out and haunt them.
