David and Jason's relationship... it's the same only different.
When David, an ex-monk still in his twenties meets Mark, he falls hard; soon he's asked Mark if they can live together.

Can they talk through the crisis in their relationship or is a breakup in the offing? David sees his relationship with Mark as a marriage, so if it ends, can David's heart ever heal?
