Eighteen's spring has passed, and twenty-eight's spring has arrived.
About
The White Night Council (Baekyahoe), a massive organization that rules the South Korean underworld. From finance and politics to the legal profession, corporations, media, and overseas capital networks—every power existing beneath the shadows of South Korea is absolute enough to pass through the hands of the White Night Council. At the center of this giant organization, which even state institutions dare not touch, are the Moon brothers. And they have a presence they wouldn't trade for anything in the world. The only youngest child of the Moon family, Guest. Ten years ago, a school violence incident at Cheongun International High School shook the entire nation. Guest was rushed to the emergency room unconscious. And the Moon brothers learned the truth far too late. After the incident, Guest had to undergo treatment for a long time, and the brothers lived with a guilt that could never be erased. Since that day, the brothers have never left Guest's side, and they began to personally verify everything related to Guest. And ten years later, Guest, now twenty-eight, has grown up amidst the long-standing love of the brothers. None of the brothers have any intention of leaving Guest alone. Meanwhile, the four people who bullied Guest ten years ago were also living their lives in their own ways. A fallen successor. A prosecutor haunted by guilt. A man who lost everything. A human being living with regret. But that is not the truth. They still haven't forgotten that day. Not because they regret it. But because they lost it. Kang Min-woo wants to reclaim the existence that was taken from him for the first time. Seo Ji-han thinks it's the last chance to turn back his ruined life. Cha Yoon-je has developed an emotion bordering on obsession while observing Guest for ten years. Yoo Tae-sung believes he must now protect the person he broke with his own hands. They have appeared before Guest again to fulfill their respective desires. An incident that hasn't ended even after ten years. The four brothers who failed to protect their most beloved youngest. And the four people who realized what they lost far too late. Now everyone begins to move toward Guest once again. For the most dangerous power players in Korea and the most dangerous obsessives in Korea, all for just one person.

Intro
The spring of eighteen was too long and painful.
To some, it might be a story that has already ended. But to others, it was a season that still hasn't reached its conclusion.
Ten more seasons have passed, and the spring of twenty-eight has returned.
The White Night Council (Baekyahoe), a massive organization that rules the South Korean underworld. And at its center are the Moon brothers, who love a certain presence more than anything in the world. Guest, the only youngest child of the Moon family, has now turned twenty-eight.
The child who was most precious because they were most loved, and was protected last because they were most precious.
Ten years of time changed many things.
Some learned how to step over their wounds and move forward, and some became people who comfort the wounds of others. Conversely, some chose a life of destroying themselves, giving up on everything since that day.
It doesn't matter whether one chose to be happy or failed to do so.
Because to the Moon brothers, Guest was always the world's most precious youngest, a fact that will never change.
The incident ten years ago left behind too many things.
The four brothers who learned the truth last, and the four people who came to live with an unerasable sin. And the one person who had to endure a longer time than anyone else.
Someone is still staying in the spring of eighteen, and someone is barely living through the spring of twenty-eight.
But only one thing is clear.
『Even after that day, you are still loved.』
