Joong Archen works at the Natachai company as nothing more than a regular employee. Quiet. Poor. Easy to overlook. Dunk Natachai is the chairman's son - rich, beautiful, reckless, and the kind of person who treats love like a game he already won before it even started. And Joong falls for him anyway. Not because Dunk is kind. Not because Dunk deserves it. But because Dunk knows exactly how to make himself feel impossible to leave. A soft voice after midnight. A jealous look that lasts one second too long. A kiss that feels real until morning comes and Dunk pretends it meant nothing. That is how he keeps Joong. Never enough to call it love. Always enough to keep him waiting. While Dunk disappears into other nights, other people, other bodies, Joong stays behind rebuilding the pieces of himself Dunk keeps breaking apart. Because the cruelest thing about Dunk is not that he hurts Joong. It is that he knows exactly how much Joong loves him - and uses it anyway. But love built on crumbs cannot survive forever. And one day, after too many lies and too many chances, Joong reaches the point where he still loves Dunk... ...but cannot survive him anymore. And for the first time in his life, Dunk Natachai learns that sometimes the person who forgives the most is also the one who leaves for real. _______ Story wish inspired by: @odronatachai ♡ Thank you for trusting me with your idea and letting me turn it into something of my own. While the original inspiration came from the request above, the entire storyline, plot, character development, emotional arcs, scenes, dialogues, and overall structure of this AU were fully created and written by me.

Joong's life is ruled by structure-he runs a top architectural firm, lives in a pristine, minimalist home, and has zero tolerance for unpredictability. Unfortunately, Archen, his 6-year-old son, is pure chaos in human form. Whether he's painting the dog green, fake-marrying his classmates, or launching a "potato war" at school, Archen constantly drags Joong into embarrassing parent-teacher meetings and emergency room visits. Enter Dr. Dunk, the adorable pediatrician who always has cartoon stickers, a silly joke, and infinite patience for children. He becomes Archen's favorite adult instantly-and Joong's accidental problem solver. But Joong faces a bigger problem: A once-in-a-lifetime business deal requires him to present a "stable family unit." No wife? No deal. On a frustrated impulse, Joong blurts out a lie during the deal meeting-he's married. Now he just needs a spouse to play along.

Joong has two problems. One: His ex-boyfriend is marrying his cousin. Two: His grandma will hand the family empire to said cousin unless Joong proves he's in a serious relationship. Naturally, the solution is to hire a fake boyfriend. Enter Dunk: barista, blunt-tongued, gorgeous, and alarmingly good at kissing like he means it. Joong expected this to be business-only. A few hand-holds, some couple selfies, pretend-giggling. No feelings. No... moaning in expensive bathrooms. But Dunk is too calm, too honest, too firm with those hands and that voice. And Joong? Joong's forgetting this is fake. Especially when Dunk says things like: "If we're going to sell it, we better kiss again. Practice, right?" A fake relationship. A nosy family. One wedding, endless sexual tension, and a hundred chances to fall stupidly in love. Warning: May contain intense hand-holding, emotionally blunt tops, closet makeouts, surprise orgasms, and one (1) very betrayed cat.

They made it out. But survival is not the same thing as peace. Outside Black Halo, the world is wider, colder, and far less merciful than any of them imagined. The people who escaped are no longer trapped behind one institution's walls - but they are still trapped inside everything that place turned them into. Old loyalties deepen. New fractures open. Love becomes more desperate, more obsessive, more painful than before. And the line between devotion and destruction grows thinner with every step forward. Black Halo - Book 2: Tied to Me is not about healing. It is about what remains after the cage breaks - and the terrifying ways people cling to each other when they no longer know how to survive alone.

Echoes of Redemption (Sequel to Echoes of Vengeance) The war is over. The echoes remain. But this time... they don't hurt the same. After everything they lost, everything they broke, and everything they survived-Joong and Dunk are no longer standing on opposite sides of pain. They are standing together, learning what it means to live after destruction... to love after everything that tried to tear them apart. In a home that once held silence and shadows, laughter now lingers. Soft moments replace sharp words. And in the center of it all is Aven-their light, their beginning, the quiet proof that even the most shattered hearts can rebuild something beautiful. But healing isn't instant. Forgiveness isn't loud. And love... this time, is something they choose every single day. Echoes of Redemption is a story of second chances-not the kind that erase the past, but the kind that grow around it. It's about learning to stay, to trust, to hold on... even when it's hard. Because some echoes never fade- they just learn how to become something softer.

Black Halo is not a hospital. It only wears one. Buried far outside the city, behind locked gates and chapel glass, it houses the criminals the world no longer wants to understand - men too unstable for prison, too dangerous for mercy, too convenient to erase. Inside, they are not healed. They are watched. medicated. restrained. corrected. And in the deepest wing of the institution, beneath the cameras and the crosses, lives Joong Archen. The inmate no one mentions carelessly. The silence at the end of every warning. The thing behind the glass. Then there's Dunk. Sweet face. Bright laugh. Good behavior on paper. A long-term patient trusted with small tasks and sharp corners - files, laundry, medication carts, blood no one wants to talk about. He smiles too easily, jokes at the wrong time, and walks through Black Halo like the locks were built for somebody else. The staff think he's harmless because he looks soft. The patients know better. Because Dunk is not fragile. He is not safe. And he is definitely not afraid. The first time he stops in front of Joong's isolation cell, everyone expects fear. Instead, Dunk smiles. And something inside Black Halo opens its eyes. What starts as curiosity turns into fixation. Then possession. Then something far worse. Because Joong is cold, deliberate violence - and Dunk is chaos dressed up as a sweet boy with a crooked grin. One is feared by the whole institution. The other is underestimated by it. That is the first mistake. In Black Halo, every wing has rules. Every rule has a punishment. And every game ends with someone on the floor. But the most dangerous thing in the building was never the monster behind the glass. It was the boy laughing in front of it.

"Joong, I-" "Yes or No." His voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding. Dunk didn't say anything. He knew if he replied with only Yes or No then it will bring up more Misunderstandings. But His silence was enough for him. "The lies, the betrayal... You really thought I wouldn't find out?"

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.

Genre: BL | Billionaire Romance | Dark Mafia | Super Hot | Possessive Love Description: Phuwin was just a sweet, soft-spoken university student who walked into the wrong party at the wrong time. Pond was the billionaire mafia boss who ruled the city from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and dangerous. One night. One look. That's all it took for Pond to claim Phuwin as his. Dragged into a world of luxury and power, Phuwin finds himself trapped inside Pond's dark mansion-where secrets hide behind every door, and rules are written in lust and control. He should hate the man who caged him. But how do you run from someone who touches your soul... and sets your body on fire? A twisted tale of obsession, dominance, and a love that defies every rule. This is not your average love story-this is Burning Ties.
