Zeke's character was an a.ssh*le most of the time. I think he was the real villain of the series. Our Story The Series innovated because the good guy in the story is the villain at the same time. Let's get to the facts: Zeke wasn't reciprocated by Kevin and that's no big deal. It's normal to not have love reciprocated. Kevin never had an obligation to respond to Zeke's love. Nobody has. It's true that Kevin was harsh when he said Zeke was disgusting, that was mean. But gay men who haven't come out of the closet can still have this kind of reaction when confronted about their sexuality. I have the impression that the story implies that Kevin had an obligation to respond to Zeke's love, which is not correct.
The point is: Kevin is not the monster Zeke says he is. The fact that Zeke had depression after Kevin's rejection is not Kevin's fault. No one is obligated to respond to another person's love. Just as Kevin lacked maturity in dealing with his friend's confession of love, Zeke also lacked maturity in accepting rejection.
Then Zeke goes to Manila, falls in love with Fifth. Everything was fine until Kevin got back. Then, Zeke freaks out and treats Kevin like a demon, not accepting his excuses. Out of nowhere, he changes his attitude and starts to notice Kevin and starts treating Fifth with indifference. Zeke gaslights both Fifth and Kevin. He makes Kevin feel guilty about the past and mistreats him all the time, while at the same time letting him get closer and giving him hope. On the other hand, Zeke makes Fifth feel like he's in the wrong for being jealous of Kevin, even though Fifth did NOTHING wrong. And Zeke had the nerve to lie to Fifth, saying that Kevin was just a childhood friend, hiding the fact that he was in love with Kevin his entire childhood. Fifth breaks up with Zeke because Zeke lets Kevin get close without telling him to stay away. It's obvious that Fifth felt betrayed when he saw his boyfriend flirting with another guy.
Zeke's gaslighting was so well done that he makes EVERYONE apologize to him, but he doesn't apologize to anyone. He treated both Kevin and Fifth like shit most of the time, yet he ended up like the misunderstood victim in the end as they both came crawling to his feet to apologize. Sorry for what? Kevin had indeed been wrong in the past, but he had been humiliating himself by apologizing for months. Zeke saw his suffering for his past mistake and stepped on him out of spite, out of pure revenge. As for Fifth, until the last moment, in the hospital, he is the one who apologizes to Zeke. He goes so far as to say he was selfish! Hey?! When has he been selfish? He was the most selfless guy on the show. He tried to help Kevin in the beginning, he tried to be understanding, he always apologized when he was wrong. While Zeke lied to Fifth multiple times and did NOT apologize even once!
Just because he was in a car accident were all his mistakes forgotten? Zeke's mother accused Kevin of being to blame for Zeke's accident! Turns out it wasn't anyone's fault but his own for driving and using his phone at the same time! Even the accident was on Kevin's account! Absurd! To make matters worse, after treating Kevin well for several days in Baguio, he rejects the poor guy at the hospital once again! Kevin comes to say goodbye at the hospital and he complains: "What are you doing here?" What??!! Zeke must be bipolar, it's unbelievable! He keeps changing sides and playing with both Kevin and Fifth all the time!
The only good thing here is Jason/Joel. They were, at least, funny.
