    Summary

    Est Supha was never supposed to meet William Jakrapatr.

    He was a high school gang leader — violent by reputation, shaped by a childhood he never healed from. William was the mayor’s son, stubborn and soft-hearted in ways Est didn’t know how to survive.

    They weren’t supposed to fall in love — nor Est became pregnant.
    They weren’t supposed to become parents at eighteen and sixteen.
    And Est was never supposed to leave.

    But he did.

    Seventeen years later, Est was a rising prosecutor with a spotless record and a carefully rebuilt life. He convinved himself the past had been buried, even between his cold sweat at nights.

    Until a faded baby bracelet resurfaces.
    Until William — now a tired father — stands in his office and says, “Help him. He’s your son too.”
    Until a seventeen-year-old boy demands to know why he was never told.

    This is a story about absence and consequence. About the parent who stayed and the one who ran.
    And somewhere between co-parenting and late-night conversations, between guilt and rebuilding trust, two men discover that first love doesn’t always disappear.

    Sometimes it just waits for you to grow up enough to choose it properly.
