Akash Sinha and Ricky Tamang are childhood friends. But there is a caveat. They are not of the same status. Akash is born into a well established family while Ricky is their driver's son. Ricky's father goes to jail in his brother's place when he kills a man while driving drunk. They go through massive upheavals in their lives and have to part ways when Akash's elder brother mysteriously disappears and his father goes bankrupt. But neither of them forget the other, specially Akash who secretly nurtures a crush on Ricky from the age of 16. Those feelings grow deeper as he grows older and joins Ricky in his real estate restoration business. Ricky is now well established, running his own successful business. Even though he is a team leader, deep in his heart Ricky doesn't believe that he deserves to be with someone like Akash. He still sees himself as a servant's son, remembering all the taunts and insults he was subjected to by everyone around him. Even when they come together, Ricky feels inadequate. He decides to buy back Akash's ancestral home which his father had lost during his bankcruptcy as a gift to Akash. What was meant to be a gesture of commitment and pride in his achievements opened a can of worms of old secrets and hidden guilts. While Akash refused to accept this gift, other sinister forces turned their lives upside down. Once again, Ricky and Akash find themselves in the middle of a maelstrom which was not of their own making. A swirling, darkness had been building force ever since their childhood, unbeknownst to them. It finally erupted, almost destroying the new lovers' lives. Until they face it and conquer it, there couldn't be any hope for peace. Sometimes life throws incredible challenges in peoples' paths. Sometimes the solution is also not easy to find. It is often said that under tremendous pressure diamonds are formed.

Starting the story from after Da-yeol left Tae-hyun Not really following the original story 3years later........ Three years ago, Lee Da-yeol walked out of Jo Tae-hyun's life and never looked back. After an emotionally intense and confusing relationship during their final year of high school, Da-yeol vanished without goodbye taking with him Tae-hyun's trust, warmth, and the only piece of comfort he ever had. In the years that followed, Da-yeol buried the past beneath ambition. Now, he's the founder and CEO of LUMIVEL, a luxury design empire, and lives a life of flawless control - clean lines, sharp suits, and no emotional attachments. Jo Tae-hyun, on the other hand, never moved on. Now a respected businessman at the head of BLACKROSE HOLDINGS, he is outwardly everything society admires: brilliant, successful, untouchable. But behind the image is a man suffocating in grief and guilt - blaming himself for pushing Da-yeol away. Silent panic attacks, sleepless nights, and hidden scars line his world. When the ache becomes unbearable, Tae-hyun turns to the only thing that numbs him: pain. Neither of them expected to see each other again. But fate doesn't ask for permission. They cross paths by chance in a luxury hotel lobby in Seoul strangers now, in name and form, but still tethered by the past. One glance is all it takes for everything to resurface: the anger, the longing, the heartbreak they never healed from. Will they walk away again or finally find the courage to stay?
