Isabella Theodora (Isabelle) is a smart and ambitious girl who grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia. During high school, Isabelle was known as the brightest student in her class. She secretly had feelings for Carlo Rivera (Carlo), a new student from the Philippines who became part of her friend group. Despite their mutual feelings, they both decided to remain friends for various reasons. Isabelle often received help from Rafael Antonio (Rafael), her close friend who had long harbored feelings for her. Amid their friendship, Isabelle had to face bullying from Rebecca Cecilia (Becca), a classmate jealous of Isabelle's intelligence and popularity, and Angelo Martin (Martin), Isabelle's ex-boyfriend who remained obsessed with her.

On the other hand, Rafael had feelings of jealousy toward Isabelle, who was always close to Carlo, though he continued to support her. One day at the park, Becca asked Rafael to pretend to be her boyfriend to make Isabelle jealous of Becca and Rafael, although deep down Rafael didn’t want to date Becca. When Becca and Rafael started "dating," Isabelle became truly jealous, and Carlo, Catharina Angeline (Cathy), and George Harrison (George) encouraged her as she felt hurt and envious of Rafael and Becca’s affection.

At one point, when Carlo was about to confess his love to Isabelle, Rafael became truly jealous and emotional, seeing Isabelle and Carlo together. This led to a fight between the two, as they both competed for Isabelle's heart. A few days after the fight, Rafael realized his mistake and apologized to Isabelle before Christmas, admitting that Becca had asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend to make Isabelle jealous. He also planned to apologize to Carlo on Christmas Day.

On Christmas, Rafael apologized to Carlo via video call, and when Carlo returned to Indonesia, they reconciled in person, with Rafael expressing his desire to be Carlo’s true friend.

After graduating from high school, the five of them went to different universities and pursued different majors. Isabelle, who received a scholarship, studied management in the Philippines, and Carlo attended the same university, majoring in communication. Their other three friends studied in Jakarta; Rafael and George pursued law degrees, while Cathy studied architecture. Becca and Martin also stayed in Jakarta, both majoring in management.

Ten years after high school, they reunited at a school reunion. The school had remained much the same, though some parts had changed. During the reunion, Becca and Martin met Isabelle, Carlo, and Rafael, and their personalities hadn’t changed from their school days. During the reunion, they reconnected with their teachers and former classmates.

By then, they were all working professionals. Isabelle worked at a famous company in Manila as a business analyst, Carlo had become a successful actor with popular dramas and films in the Philippine entertainment industry, Rafael worked as a legal advocate at a prestigious law firm in the Philippines, often assisting well-known lawyers and handling major cases, Cathy pursued her passion and childhood dream of becoming an architect, and George had become a successful lawyer handling high-profile cases in Indonesia, sometimes partnering with Rafael on international cases. Meanwhile, Becca worked as a legal analyst at a law firm in Jakarta and was sent to intern in the Philippines by her office, and Martin worked as an accountant in Manila. Despite over 10 years passing, their friendship remained strong, and Isabelle and Carlo had been dating for 10 years.

Will Isabelle and Carlo's love continue to endure, or will it be tested by the presence of Becca and Martin, especially since Martin has been obsessed with Isabelle since high school? Or will Rafael, their close friend, end up developing feelings for Isabelle?
