Hiyasmin Macaraig, who chose to stay in Japan after the restaurant she was working at closed, works different odd jobs to provide for her family in the Philippines. Cynthia Mae Valdes or CM is an English Tutor. When her work contract ended, she also decided to stay in Japan to provide for her jobless live-in partner and their kid. While Mitch Sarmiento is a Masteral student in Kitakyushu. She’s bright, but she got herself into gambling, as a way to relieve stress from her academics and her recent heart break.
