Thirteen years ago, Go Hyuntak walked out of the Accetta Estate carrying nothing but his pride. Wrongfully accused and betrayed by the only home he had ever known, the maid's son left behind his childhood, his memories, and a boy who never got the chance to tell him how much he meant.
Now twenty-seven, Hyuntak has become a respected criminology professor and a special investigator assigned to assist in solving a series of violent school bullying cases in Italy. His return to the Accetta Estate is meant to be temporary-a simple visit to say goodbye to the woman who once raised him like her own grandson.
But the estate has changed.
The quiet heir he once teased has become Marco Accetta, the feared King of the world's most powerful empire. The cheerful boy who secretly learned to paint beside him has disappeared behind years of responsibility, silence, and regret. Neither of them knows that the other has spent thirteen years carrying memories they never dared to let go.
Surrounded by family expectations, buried misunderstandings, old friendships, and secrets that refuse to stay hidden, Hyuntak and Marco are forced to face the past they both believed was over. As forgotten truths begin to surface and hearts long convinced to move on start beating for the same person once again, one question remains:
Can two people find their way back to each other after thirteen years of silence... or are some goodbyes never meant to be undone?
