Thailand Fashion Week was supposed to be just another obligation for Zee Pruk Panich. As the CEO of Super Sun, fashion shows, brand deals and red carpet appearances had long since become routine. Beautiful faces blurred together beneath flashing cameras and runway lights, rehearsed smiles and practiced charm no longer capable of holding his attention for more than a passing second. Until he sees him. A boy dressed in oversized cardigan moving quietly through the backstage chaos like a literal celestial being. Soft eyes, blonde hair and a face so breathtaking that for one impossible moment, Zee mistakes him for one of the runway models. An angel, thats the only way to describe him. And then the angel disappears. What Zee doesn't know is that Nunew Chawarin was never supposed to be there in the first place. A fashion design student with a dangerous amount of curiosity, Nunew sneaks backstage with the help of his friend - an assistant to one of the photographers covering the event. Between carrying equipment, helping overwhelmed staff with last-minute fittings and fixing backstage disasters seconds before the models walk, Nunew blends so perfectly into the background that most people mistake him for just another member of the crew. On paper, he was never there at all. But Zee cannot forget his face. After two sleepless days spent tearing through guest lists, model agencies, employee records, and event staff with no trace of the mysterious "angel" from the fashion show, Zee does the one thing nobody ever expected from the cold, untouchable CEO of Super Sun: He asks the public for help finding him. Unfortunately for Zee, searching for someone who technically doesn't exist may be the first thing in his life that money, power, and influence can't solve.

When twenty-three-year-old Nunew moves into the house next door, Zee expects nothing more than a polite introduction. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the bright-eyed neighbor who fills every quiet moment with laughter. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing feelings between them. But Zee can't stop thinking about the nine-year age gap separating them, while Nu struggles with loving someone who refuses to believe he's worth the risk. A slow-burn BL romance featuring neighbors-to-lovers, age-gap romance, jealousy, emotional tension, first love, found family, and a heartwarming happy ending.

A soft romance blossoming between Step Dad and Step Son. One contract marriage changes Nunew's entire life, leading him to a loving family-and to Zee, the gentle man who slowly becomes his home, his comfort, and the love he never expected.

Di malam ulang tahunnya yang ke-13, NuNew Chawarin mengalami malam terburuk setelah dipermalukan dan dikunci di dalam lemari oleh geng anak populer sekolahnya. Dalam keputusasaan dan tangisnya, NuNew memegang rumah boneka pemberian Zee-sahabat kecilnya yang gemuk dan tulus-sambil merapalkan keinginan magis untuk langsung menjadi dewasa, sukses, dan populer di usia 30 tahun. Keinginannya terkabul. NuNew terbangun di masa depan sebagai megabintang nomor satu di Thailand, didampingi oleh Poppy, manajernya yang super kocak, heboh, dan dramatis. Namun, kemewahan itu terasa hampa saat ia bertemu kembali dengan Zee Pruk, yang kini telah menjelma menjadi fotografer karismatik yang sukses. Akibat keegoisan NuNew di masa lalu, hubungan mereka merenggang dan Zee tidak lagi mengenali NuNew. Di tengah kerasnya dunia hiburan dan sabotase rekan kerja, NuNew selalu mencari perlindungan pada Zee. Perlahan, ingatan dan cinta masa kecil Zee kepada NuNew mulai bangkit kembali. Namun, sebuah hantaman kenyataan pahit menghentikan segalanya: Zee ternyata telah bertunangan dan memantapkan diri untuk menikah dengan orang lain demi utang budi masa lalu. Terjebak dalam kelabilan ego Zee yang enggan membatalkan pernikahan namun tidak ingin kehilangan dirinya, NuNew mengalami patah hati terdalam di usia dewasanya. Sadar bahwa cinta di dunia dewasa terlalu rumit dan penuh kepengecutan, NuNew berlari kembali ke rumah boneka lamanya. Dengan air mata penyesalan, ia memohon keajaiban waktu untuk memulangkannya ke usia 13 tahun. NuNew bertekad memperbaiki garis waktu dari awal, mendekap kembali Zee kecilnya, dan memastikan bahwa masa depan yang menyakitkan itu tidak akan pernah terjadi.
