Pond Naravit is broke enough to answer a suspiciously vague job listing titled: "Private Companion Needed for Social Events." The pay is ridiculous. The expectations seem simple. Pretend to be someone's boyfriend. Attend fancy dinners. Look convincing. What Pond does not expect is for the client to be Phuwin Tangsakyuen-rich, composed, and rumored to be the kind of person you really shouldn't annoy. Phuwin didn't expect Pond either. But somehow the chaotic university student who talks too much and smiles too easily ends up signing the contract anyway. It's temporary. Strictly professional. Just a public arrangement for appearances. There are rules. There are boundaries. And absolutely no emotional involvement. Unfortunately, Pond has never been very good at following rules.

I am sucks at descriptions.... Despite their opposite reputations, both are deeply isolated; Pond has no friends because he is a target, and Phuwin has no friends because he chooses to be an introvert that everyone is too terrified to approach. You... you didn't have to do that, Topper. You'll be a target now." ​"I don't care," Pond said, turning around and reaching into his bag. He pulled out the slightly squashed sandwich and held it out. "You didn't get to eat it. Please take it. It's the one Mama made for you." ​Phuwin looked at the sandwich, then at Pond's bright, determined face. For the first time, a tiny, almost invisible ghost of a smile touched Phuwin's lips. He took the sandwich, his fingers brushing against Pond's. ​"Your Mama..." Phuwin started, his voice a low, shy murmur. "Does he really put spicy tuna in these?" ​Pond beamed, his heart practically bursting. "He did! Come on, I'll show you the best spot on the grass to eat. No one will bother us there." pondphuwin JoongDunk

"He ruins reputations by morning, but speaks like a love song when he says my name." (Book Cover Updated)- At Laksara University, Pond is a name whispered with intrigue-tattoos, fast bikes, flunking classes he's too bored to attend, and a reputation for turning hearts into cautionary tales. He's the kind of boy who never apologizes, never explains, and never lets anyone get too close. Until Phuwin. Bright-eyed and endlessly sincere, Phuwin is the kind of student who greets security guards by name and brings extra snacks "just in case someone forgot." He's adored by professors, classmates, and even the stray cat that lives behind the chemistry lab. And somehow-*somehow*-he becomes the only person who makes Pond show up to class on time. They're not supposed to mix. Pond is late nights and bruised knuckles. Phuwin is Sunday mornings and library laughter. But when Pond's voice drops to something soft-*only* for Phuwin-and he starts looking at the world like it might be worth staying in... rumors fly, hearts race, and everything begins to unravel. This is a love story built between campus fights and quiet café corners. The kind where the bad boy doesn't change-he just chooses to be better when *he's with you.* ---
