Six years had passed since Pete left Bangkok behind, fleeing from a story that still burned in his memory like a wound that had never truly healed. Germany became his refuge-the place where he finished his studies, cared for his father, and quietly protected his younger brother, **Alvin**, who was now sixteen. But it was also the place where, night after night, he remembered Ae's face... the face he had tried so hard to forget, yet never could.
After turning **twenty**, Pete remained in Germany for **four more years**, preparing for his return to Thailand with a clear purpose: to take over as the new **CEO of the Pitchaya family business**. It was a time of learning, responsibility, and sacrifice-a period in which he built a life far from Bangkok, even as the city and its memories continued to live on in his heart.
Now, as the plane descended through the glittering lights of Bangkok at night, his heart raced just as it had the day he left: with fear... and with love. Because returning meant facing everything he had left unfinished. Returning meant seeing him again, and finally taking hold of the life that had always been his.
Pete knew it was he who had made the decision to break up with Ae. He had done it out of obligation, pushed by his father's cold hands, by pressure, by fear, and by guilt. He had never wanted to leave him. He had never wanted to lose him. But he did... and sometimes, the choices we make to protect others end up destroying us from within.
Now, at **twenty-four**, as the new CEO of his family's company and with a life he is still trying to put back together, Pete returns to Bangkok with one undeniable truth beating steadily inside him: sooner or later, he will have to face Ae. Sooner or later, he will have to look into the eyes of the boy he left behind.
And although Pete does not know whether fate truly offers second chances... deep down, a part of him longs with all his heart to believe that it does.
