Pretending was supposed to be easy... until desire entered the ring. William, 21 years old, a rising boxing star, is determined to stay away from dating until he wins gold at the Asian Games. But constant pressure from his family to start dating proves more distracting than actually dating. So William hatches a plan: pretend to be gay and enlist his trainer Est, 27 years old, legend in Thai boxing and a notorious playboy who flirts with new girls constantly, to fake a relationship and keep his family satisfied. Est agrees to pretend to be gay and fake date as well to keep William focused on boxing. Living together to make the lie believable, every shared meal, training session, accidental touch, heated sparring match, and stolen glance blurs the line between pretense and reality. What started as a harmless act slowly awakens feelings neither of them expected, forcing them to confront desires they never knew were there. # Highest Ranking 🏅 #1 mxm #1 williamest #1 estsupha #1 discoveringyourself #2 fakedate ⚠️ Disclaimers: Contains: Intense feelings, strong language, borderline toxic push and pull, angst but served with hotness, self discovery -- be ready for a rollercoaster!

Est's life is shattered by the loss of his sister, leaving him to raise his young nephew, but the arrival of a mysterious neighbor, William, may open the door to love and hope. ___ Est's carefully structured life collapses in an instant when a hospital call delivers the worst news imaginable: his sister Earn is gone, leaving her four-year-old son, Tawan, in his care. Thrust into the unexpected role of single parenthood, Est struggles to navigate grief, work pressures, and the chaos of raising a young child. Through sleepless nights, tantrums, and small victories, he slowly learns the rhythm of fatherhood, finding strength he didn't know he had. On the morning Tawan starts nursery school, a chance encounter with a mysterious new neighbor, William, hints at a connection that could forever alter the course of their lives.

An enemies-to-lovers story that follows William and Est-two boys bound by childhood rivalry, stubborn pride, and an unspoken connection that never quite went away. When Est moved into William's quiet Chiang Mai neighborhood, he didn't just bring noise and confidence-he brought change. To William, Est was loud, flashy, and infuriatingly good at everything. To Est, William was cold, smug, and impossible to impress. Over the years, they clashed like fire and ice, turning every shared moment into a silent war of words, glares, and video game showdowns. But everything changes when William finally follows his older brother to university-only to find himself roommates with the one person he swore he'd never tolerate again. Older now. Sharper. Still rivals... but something feels different. Because sometimes, hate lingers too long.
And sometimes, it starts to feel a little too much like something else.

Follow the story of rival actors between William Jakrapatr and Est Supha who both casted for a romance thriller movie by Thailand's renowned director. How can two industry rivals work together not only as leads but two leads that fall in love with each other..

Young CEO Est is struggling under pressure-until a visit to the café across the street and a chance meeting with William begins to change everything. In the heart of Bangkok's business district, best friends William and Nut open Chapters and Cups, a cozy book café where every cup of coffee comes with a handwritten message-and sometimes, a gentle nudge toward healing. Let's see how William and Est find comfort, connection, and maybe something more... one cup at a time. Snippet: He walked up to the counter slowly, eyes scanning the menu, although he wasn't really reading it. "You're new here," the barista said, already watching him. Est looked up. "How did you know?" The barista smiled, easy and confident. "Because I'd remember your face if you weren't." That made Est pause. His lips twitched, amused despite himself. "I'm William," the barista added, extending a hand. "Let me make you a drink. I've got just the thing." Est raised an eyebrow. "Do I get to know what it is?" "Nope," William said cheerfully. "Only question is-do you trust me?" Est stared at him for a second, then nodded. "Surprise me."

Est had a quiet crush on his colleague, Punch. Through a collaborative project, Punch invited him over to her house-where Est met her brother, William. Sharp jaw, deep eyes, quiet and soft-spoken. Est was shaken. It wasn't long before Est and William found a connection neither of them expected. Snippet Before William could take a step, Est called out, "Hey." William turned, brows raised. Est closed his laptop, his heart suddenly racing. "There's a new café opening next week near the Ari BTS. I passed it on the way home last night-looks like they serve fancy cakes and all that." William blinked. "Yeah?" Est tried to sound casual. "I thought you might like it. I mean, you obviously have strong opinions about lemon tarts." That earned a real smile. Small, but honest. "They were too sour." Est smirked. "Exactly my point." William hesitated, then asked-almost too carefully, "You... wanna go check it out?" Est nodded. "If you're free. No pressure." William paused, fighting the smile already tugging at his lips. "Yeah. Sure. Sounds cool."

Love was never part of the plan. But neither was falling for the mafia brothers. The Titicharoenrak family-a feared mafia clan disguised as a trading empire-thrives in the underworld, ruled by power, strategy, and ruthlessness. Sky Wongravee, the heir-in-progress, is a man of action, feared yet reckless. His younger brother, Gemini Norawit, is the brains behind their empire, strategic and dangerously charming. Alongside their stepbrothers, Perth and William, they are unstoppable. On the other side stands the Jirochtikul family, a prestigious business dynasty built on success, luxury, and unbreakable sibling bonds. Eldest brother Nani runs a renowned fashion empire, Est is a sharp-witted doctor, Santa dominates the influencer scene, and Fourth, the youngest, just opened a bakery that quickly became a city sensation. When fate entangles their paths, love sparks in the most unexpected places-a mafia heir captivated by a soft-spoken fashion mogul, a wounded assassin falling for a sassy doctor, a playboy strategist bewitched by a kind-hearted baker, and an enforcer meeting his match in a confident model. But in a world where love is a weakness, can they afford to fall ? Or will the hidden dangers tear them apart before they even begin ?
