Kang Tae-Hwa’s first love struck him like a sudden illness, burning intensely and refusing to fade. A decade has passed since he fell for Moon Cheong-Hyeon, a young man who once belonged to a world of privilege and seemed entirely out of reach. Yet that old fever still rages within Tae-Hwa when fate unexpectedly brings them face to face again. The dynamic between them, however, has drastically shifted. Once an impoverished boy surviving on the streets, Tae-Hwa has transformed into the ruthless leader of his own loan-sharking empire. Now, the formerly untouchable Cheong-Hyeon stands before him not as a distant dream, but as his newest debtor. Despite recognizing that the foul-mouthed and violent Tae-Hwa is dangerous for him, Cheong-Hyeon finds himself inexplicably pulled back into his orbit. The tension between their dark past and complicated present creates an undeniable gravity neither can easily escape. Realizing that his long-lost affection has finally returned to him under such precarious circumstances, Tae-Hwa resolves to hold on tightly. He refuses to let his first love slip through his fingers a second time, no matter what it takes to keep Cheong-Hyeon by his side.
