Synopsis:

Green Nuñez has always known hardship. At 16, he was sold by his alcoholic, money-obsessed mother to the Akimichi family, becoming a servant in their household. Now 19, he’s well-loved by everyone, especially the youngest children, Kiera and Akio. But one person remains a thorn in his side—Kaito Akimichi, the eldest son.

Kaito, now 20 and studying Political Science, is the epitome of cold indifference. Ever since his British mother passed away when he was seven and his father remarried a Filipino woman, Kaito’s world became a battleground of emotions. His stepmother tried everything to earn his trust, but the birth of his half-siblings only deepened his bitterness and distance.

Green, a simple Tourism major, strives to keep his head down, focusing on his duties and his friends at school. Working as Kaito's Yaya isn’t easy; Kaito does everything to push him away, yet Green can’t help but notice the cracks in his icy demeanor. Beneath Kaito’s aloofness lies pain and an untold story of loss that resonates deeply with Green, who carries his own scars.

As Green’s warmth begins to seep into Kaito’s guarded heart, the lines between servant and master blur. Hugo, Kaito’s only true friend and the easygoing Canadian in their group, sees what Kaito refuses to acknowledge—that Green’s presence might be the key to healing the wounds of their shared loneliness.

In a world of complicated family dynamics, buried grief, and unexpected connections, Green and Kaito find themselves drawn together in ways they never anticipated. Can Green break through the walls Kaito has spent years building, or will their differences and past traumas keep them apart?
