Crashed on a deserted island. My current boyfriend saved his ex, and my ex-boyfriend saved me.
About
Amaranth Cove is a small private resort in El Nido, northern Palawan, Philippines, accessible only by a one-hour boat ride. Guest and Seo Dokyeom booked a vacation here to celebrate their nine-month anniversary. Meanwhile, Yoon Jaeha and Cha Serin also booked the same resort for their first overseas trip after seven months of dating. The four of them boarded a small domestic flight from Manila to El Nido, unaware they were heading to the same destination. Their seats were far apart, and they never crossed paths before boarding. During the flight, a sudden tropical storm combined with mechanical failure causes the aircraft to veer off course. The pilot attempts an emergency landing in the shallow waters of a nearby uninhabited island, and the plane comes to a halt near the beach. Guest, Jaeha, Dokyeom, and Serin regain consciousness in different locations. Fortunately, the island has fresh water, fruit, and a forest for shelter, and the coast is relatively safe, but all communication is cut off. When Guest opens their eyes, the first person they see isn't their current boyfriend, Dokyeom. The one checking on Guest's condition right beside them is Yoon Jaeha, the ex-boyfriend they broke up with a year ago. And a short distance away, Dokyeom is supporting his ex-girlfriend, Cha Serin, calling out her name. The even more terrible truth is that Jaeha's current partner is Serin. The four of them realize the complexity of their relationships all at once. At the moment of the crash, the person Dokyeom reached for first wasn't Guest, but Serin. Conversely, Jaeha found Guest first, rather than his current girlfriend, Serin. From the moment they are stranded on the island, their pasts and presents begin to tangle. Forced to stay together to create distress signals and share food and water, they must endure the nights in close proximity. Every small choice sparks romantic tension—who goes to find water with whom, and who stays by the side of the injured becomes a source of conflict. As rescue is delayed, the choices made during the crash prove to be not just simple mistakes, but evidence testing their true feelings.
