Five years ago, Pond Naravit walked away from the love of his life without looking back.
Back then, Pond was ambitious, reckless, and terrified of choosing love over certainty. Phuwin Tangsakyuen-gentle yet quietly strong-was the one who paid the price when unspoken fears, bad timing, and a single irreversible decision tore them apart. They promised to never meet again, believing distance would make the pain easier to bear.
 It didn't.
 Now in their mid-twenties, fate brings them together once more under circumstances neither expected. Pond is a rising creative director returning to Bangkok for a career-defining project. Phuwin is a literature editor living a quieter life, one carefully built to hide the scars Pond left behind. Their reunion is accidental, awkward, and heavy with everything they never said.
 Old feelings resurface in stolen glances, unfinished sentences, and the familiar comfort that still lingers between them. But they are no longer the same people they once were. Phuwin has learned how to protect his heart. Pond carries regret like a second skin-and this time, he knows exactly what he lost.
 As they are forced to work within the same circle and confront shared memories, both must decide: is love worth risking a second heartbreak? Or are some stories better left unfinished?

Novel Introduction Ten years later, when they met again, Zhu Xu was married. His family was pressing him about marriage, sending people to drop hints: "You've been single for several years now. You ought to start dating someone again." Ho Yan Chau joked: "Date whom? Become a homewrecker?" Well then, he's clearly got his eye on a married woman. Less than six months later, Zhu Xu divorced. That person was delighted for him: "Mr Ho, you've got a chance now. You must seize the opportunity!" Ho Yan Chau was in good spirits: "Mind your own business."Content Warnings: Happy Ending (HE) / Both characters are not virgins Female lead is divorced; both are mature adults with romantic experience Male lead's character is rather perfect, whilst the female lead's is the opposite. (Since there's no virgin plot, I don't consider their respective romantic histories to be flaws. The above refers to their attitudes and behaviour towards each other in this relationship.) The female lead's marriage to her ex-husband lasted one year. The ex-husband was domestically abusive. After the second incident of domestic violence, the female lead sought divorce but couldn't escape. When the third incident occurred-which is where our story begins-the female lead rescued herself and left the abusive man, rather than relying on the male lead's help. (The text contains domestic violence scenes.) During these ten years, he never deliberately waited for her, nor did he meet anyone he particularly fancied.
