'Do you ever feel that way sometimes? Like everyone's expecting so much from you that they gave you everything, so you feel like making them happy is the least you can do?'

University radio DJ Ellice Sanchez has always been good with words. But she can't seem to find the right ones to explain to her friends how and why she never felt any romantic feelings for her now ex-boyfriend (or anyone else, to be exact). Engineering major Alex Yu is good at math (as all Chinese kids are. . . supposedly). But for the longest time, he's been struggling to figure out how to go after the Literature degree he's always wanted while fulfilling his family's expectations.
When they accidentally meet again after being sort-of-strangers in high school, Ellice and Alex fall into an unlikely yet shockingly easy friendship strengthened by fairly unproductive study sessions and Ellice's chaotic semi-weekly university radio show. With Alex's unquestioning acceptance of Ellice's newly discovered aromantic-asexuality and Ellice's persistence in pushing Alex to chase after what he wants, they are unexpectedly what each other needs.
