How long does it takes to change your life? For me it was one summer.
Joshua Hong, a Korean-American man who has spent his life walking the tightrope between two worlds: the strict expectations of his prestigious, traditional family in Los Angeles and the freedom he once found in a fleeting, unforgettable love.
Years ago, during a summer trip to his childhood home on the picturesque coast of Jeju Island, Joshua fell deeply in love with Lee Dokyeom-warm-hearted, magnetic, and brimming with dreams of becoming an actor. Their days were filled with secret glances, tender touches, and the kind of love that changed everything.
But when their romance grew too real, too serious, Joshua's powerful, homophobic, status-obsessed father intervened. Bound by duty and fear, Joshua walked away-leaving a shattered Dokyeom behind.
Eight years later, the tides have turned.
Now, Dokyeom is no longer the boy Joshua once knew. He's DK-an acclaimed actor and national heartthrob, successful, guarded, and very much the new owner of Joshua's beloved family estate, sold to cover the debts left by his father's failed ventures.
As old wounds resurface and unresolved feelings simmer beneath the surface, the question remains: Can love survive betrayal, pride, and the passage of time? Or will the second chance they never expected slip away again?
