Joong Archen works at the Natachai company as nothing more than a regular employee.
Quiet. Poor. Easy to overlook.
Dunk Natachai is the chairman's son - rich, beautiful, reckless, and the kind of person who treats love like a game he already won before it even started.
And Joong falls for him anyway.
Not because Dunk is kind.
Not because Dunk deserves it.
But because Dunk knows exactly how to make himself feel impossible to leave.
A soft voice after midnight.
A jealous look that lasts one second too long.
A kiss that feels real until morning comes and Dunk pretends it meant nothing.
That is how he keeps Joong.
Never enough to call it love.
Always enough to keep him waiting.
While Dunk disappears into other nights, other people, other bodies, Joong stays behind rebuilding the pieces of himself Dunk keeps breaking apart.
Because the cruelest thing about Dunk is not that he hurts Joong.
It is that he knows exactly how much Joong loves him - and uses it anyway.
But love built on crumbs cannot survive forever.
And one day, after too many lies and too many chances, Joong reaches the point where he still loves Dunk...
...but cannot survive him anymore.
And for the first time in his life, Dunk Natachai learns that sometimes the person who forgives the most is also the one who leaves for real.
