In the gripping tale of "Bonds of Fate," the paths of two worlds collide. On one side, there are Phuwin and Dunk, orphaned brothers, guided by their loving aunt in the warm embrace of a small-town restaurant. On the other, there are Pond and Joong...
Throughout the day, Phuwin couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling he had about Pond and Naomi. He spotted them together several times, always looking affectionate and inseparable.
First, in the morning, as Phuwin entered the college campus, he saw Pond and Naomi walking hand in hand, laughing together as if they were the only ones in the world.
During their first class, Phuwin couldn't focus as he kept stealing glances at Pond and Naomi, who were sitting together, whispering and giggling.
At lunchtime, Phuwin saw them sitting close to each other in the cafeteria, sharing food and exchanging sweet gestures. It made Phuwin's heart sink.
Later in the afternoon, while passing by the college library, Phuwin caught a glimpse of Pond and Naomi behind one of the shelves, engaged in a passionate kiss. Phuwin froze, feeling a mix of shock, hurt, and anger.

Unable to bear seeing them together any longer, Phuwin turned away and hurried to find a secluded spot, where he could be alone with his thoughts. He couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal and couldn't understand why Pond would treat him like this. . . . . . . . . .
Dunk was growing increasingly frustrated as he observed Joong's growing closeness to Prim throughout the day. It didn't sit right with him, especially since he had overheard some girls in the canteen mentioning that Joong had never shown any interest in Prim before.
As he watched Joong and Prim interact, Dunk couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. He knew Joong well enough to recognize when his actions seemed out of character, and this sudden attention towards Prim didn't seem genuine to him.
Unable to contain his annoyance any longer, Dunk decided to confront Joong about it later, once they were alone. He needed to get to the bottom of what was really going on between Joong and Prim. . . . . . .
On the other hand, college life held a different story for Marcus and Elijah, one that bloomed in secret. Marcus, notorious for skipping classes with the privilege of his wealthy parents shielding him from consequences, found himself relaxing on a sun-drenched university terrace. Just as he was about to light a cigarette, a figure materialized beside him, snatching the cigarette from his lips and taking a long drag in one smooth motion.
"Mind if I join you?" It was Elijah, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
Marcus rolled his eyes, a familiar annoyance flickering across his face. He mumbled a half-hearted greeting and made a move to leave. But Elijah was quicker. With a lightning-fast reflex, he wrapped his arm around Marcus's waist, pulling him back into a tight hug.
Marcus struggled playfully, his frustration laced with a hint of amusement. "Elijah, let go! People are staring," he hissed, but his voice lacked conviction.
Elijah, ignoring his protests, pressed a soft kiss to the sensitive skin behind Marcus's ear. The touch sent a shiver down Marcus's spine, instantaneously calming his feigned anger. Elijah leaned closer, his voice a husky murmur in Marcus's ear.
