In the heart of the city, Ajiha lives a harsh life — a girl with no family or support, relying only on herself while chasing her dreams. She works as a hostess at night, all while sharing a roof with her childhood friend Hotaka, who has now become a police officer. But her quiet world is turned upside down one night when she gets caught in a fight at her workplace… and there, she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with someone from her past — Kai, her first love, the boy she was separated from 15 years ago. The biggest shock? He’s no longer the innocent boy she once knew — he’s now the leader of one of the most dangerous mafia gangs! Caught between a past that refuses to stay buried and a present tangled in danger and desire, Ajiha finds herself trapped in a complicated love triangle: Between a man who has loved and protected her since childhood… and a man from her past who returns to reignite both passion and peril in her life. A forbidden love story wrapped in jealousy, passion, and danger… Will the heart be strong enough to overcome fate?
