When Sebastian was sad and desperate, the first thing that came to mind was Charlie, and wanted Charlie to move in with him. Charlie was afraid that Sebastian couldn't think about it, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.

Another month later, when Tim confessed to Charlie, Charlie hesitated, he still had Sebastian in his heart, although he also loved Tim. But the difference between love and friendship is that love is exclusive and has the characteristics of dictatorship, while friendship is open-ended. Charlie’s hesitation caused Tim to pull away and said to him: "The feeling you feel for Sebastian is not love, but a childhood obsession. You can open your heart to others before contacting me. ".

It happened to be Halloween that day. Sad Charlie drank a lot of wine with his friends. When he saw Sebastian flirting with other men, Charlie, who was drunk, could no longer restrain his liking for Sebastian. , Kissed directly. Sebastian pushed Charlie away, and in the car that went back together, Sebastian also took the man he flirted home with.

Charlie did not fall asleep quickly because of drunkenness when he returned home, tossing and turning on the bed. In the end, he couldn't restrain his impulse again and rushed into Sebastian's room to see Sebastian and the man preparing to do something indescribable. Taking advantage of this stall, Charlie told Sebastian what he had suppressed in his heart all these years.

After waking up the next day, the two could finally sit down and have a good chat. Sebastian said: "Why destroy everything we have? So that we can have such a bad sex for a little while. Love? What about after that? After that, we broke up and ended like this, and fifteen years of friendship were in vain." Charlie replied, "Yes, you are right. I can't stay here anymore." Sebastian said again: "Do you know what will happen, right? When you stop loving me, you will know what a terrible person I am." Charlie left without speaking.

Charlie finally decided to be with Tim, and the two lived an uninterrupted cohabitation life. Tim won the position of principal pianist of a famous San Francisco symphony orchestra, and persuaded Charlie to go to San Francisco with him in the next year. At this moment, there was the sad news that Sebastian's father committed suicide in prison. A group of friends got together again. At a dinner party, Sebastian said that he was ready to start again and that he planned to sell the apartment to compensate those who were cheated. He also said that he wanted to live with Charlie and his mother for a period of time, and moved out when he was settled.

Charlie didn't know how to answer, because he had just promised to accompany Tim to San Francisco. He said to Sebastian: "Can we discuss this issue later?" Sebastian asked him, "Is there anything I can't say in front of everyone at the dinner table, we are all one family." In front of everyone, Sebastian asked if it was because of Halloween night? He also told the story of their kissing that night. Hearing this, Charlie was also a little overwhelmed. Tim comforted him and said, "No matter what happens, I won't care. I know I have you."

Charlie had to tell everyone that he had agreed to go to San Francisco with Tim. Upon hearing this, the two women and the man who had a good relationship with Charlie and Sebastian also expressed their blessings and wished him his happiness. Then the male friend said to Sebastian if he If you want a place to live, you can go to him. Hearing this, Sebastian felt very uncomfortable and ran to the balcony emotionally.

Charlie immediately chased him out and told everyone not to follow, otherwise the situation would get worse. After being comforted by Charlie, Sebastian finally gave up the idea of ​​seeking death, hugged Charlie and kissed him, saying that we are together? Charlie tried to push Sebastian away. This scene happened to be seen by Tim and a few other friends who came after him. Tim immediately pushed Sebastian to the ground and said, "You took someone else’s Money, do you want someone else's boyfriend now?"

Then they were pulled away by other friends, and Tim took Charlie's hand to let him go away from him. Charlie broke free and blamed Tim for not pushing Sebastian to the ground. Tim asked him: "You are speaking for him." Charlie replied, "I'm not speaking for anyone." Tim: "You will always choose him instead of me, will you?" Charlie: "No, I Love you..." Tim: "Sorry, I quit, I just don't belong here."

At the end of the movie, Sebastian, who recovered his senses, still called Tim secretly and quietly gave him as a compensation gift to Charlie.

Leilei thought, in fact, Sebastian also loves Charlie, but as a rich man, he has seen too many love stories ending in a breakup. Maybe his father and mother were such a result, although it was not mentioned clearly in the movie. So he was afraid, afraid that after being with Charlie, it would end up like this in the end, even friends could not do it, and more than ten years of friendship fell to nothing.

This kind of love may be called: do not seek possession, but hope that the other person is happy.
