She cannot stand to see him suffering, so Alys agrees to his request to seduce Drake and keep him away from his ex. The possibility that she could genuinely fall for him is the furthest thing on her mind. 

As Alys pursues Drake, his cousin, a frustrated photographer, enters the picture. Tripp Marco Palma, played by Dylan Menor, lives by the mantra, “go with the flow”. He’s into motorcycles, guitar hero…andupon meeting Alys, he’s also into her. This is bound to stir things up between him and Drake, whom he is secretly envious of. 

Ethan David plays Sheen Mendoza, a football player and the best friend of Alys. He is friendly, but is also a crybaby. Even after their breakup, his love for his ex hasn’t diminished and he’s desperate to gether back.

Frost Sandoval plays Kent Valdez, Sheen’s classmate and friend, a smooth talker with a playboy streak. He’ll try to work his charm on Aya.

Sara Joe plays Shaira Silos, Drake’s friend. She fondly calls him “husband/hubby” as he’s actually her first love, but it’s Tripp who was in love with her. She is nice, but has suicidal tendencies.
