Not a word spoken. Feelings captured and expressed physically and with their eyes. Beautiful boys, on the edge of becoming men.

Gosh. How could a 3 minutes movie with no dialogue shake our feelings like this? 😦

Our generation is extremely touch starved if we take a look at the comment section of this video.
Not sexually but just the feeling of belonging is what we yearn for. A hug is more than enough to make us cry. We are not greedy...we are needy for someone who'll call us their own. Many of us, don't deny that many of us are introverts but we aren't thoughtless or feeling less. We want someone too...to hold our hand gently and whisper to us that everything will be alright.

Ignorant Parents play a big role in contributing to the emptiness but sometimes even while surrounded by people, we yearn for a particular someone, the only one soul mate.

You said
"That was the best summer of your life"
But for me
"That summer never ended"
What a quote ❤️

This movie is like a visualization of my dreams hahaha

I'm having a crush with my best friend since college. And a few months ago, before this pandemic, we were planning for a summer vacation together. He said he just got his motorcycle repaired and gonna test it for a long trip. So he asked me to take a leave from work and join him this summer to go to a beach I never visited. He knows that I really love going to the beach and he knows I won't refuse.

But it's kinda sad to realize that it has to be delayed until uncertain time. I wasn't planning to confess to him, I just want to meet him. But the dreams about telling all my feelings are always on my mind. So, watching this movie is really hits me deep hahaha


edit: thanks everyone for the replies and for sharing your story with me. let's walk our way to reach our love!
still not much to update since this pandemic still not getting any better. wish all of us good health physically and mentally. xoxo

*Hi again, I've got some "updates" on the latest comment. Thank you so much for all your support.

I fell for my best friend once.

We used to go everywhere together. We used to talk about everything together. We used to have friendly dates together.

We used to.

... Until I leaned in and tried to kiss him.

Let's just say it didn't turn out like how this beautiful short film turned out to be. We're still friends, but we both made it clear that we will only be, and will never grow further as, just friends.

We don't talk much often like we used to anymore. I miss my best friend. 💔

To everyone saying they wish this was a full series, I highly recommend the series I Told Sunset About You!
It is also a cinematic masterpiece with incredible characters, acting, OST and it also follows two best friends who realize their feelings for each other.

Is it bad to fall in love with your best friend?

[hanibunch]

Just saw this on adss AND I DIDN'T SKIP IT BECAUSE IT SO GOOD AND I TRIED TO REMEMBER THE TITLE AND HERE I AM WANTING TO HAVE THIS A MOVIE OR SERIES

[kimjeon]

The other man is a perfect guy. He knows that he sometimes act more than friends to him and after realizing that the other guy fell for him, he stand for his actions. There are people who shows they love you, but when you lov ethem bavk, they will avoid you, but in reality they are the one who made you think that he may have feelings for you.

Some of us, wished we had summers like that. The love seen here. Some of us just grow old... living that lonely life.
