"IT'S A PHUWINPOND STORY." In a world built on legacy, contracts, and names that carry more weight than the people who inherit them, two lives quietly collide under circumstances neither of them chose. Pond moves through life like he's trying not to disturb it-soft-spoken, careful, always a step back from taking up too much space. He smiles easily, but never lingers where he feels like he doesn't belong. Phuwin, on the other hand, exists in precision and silence-controlled, composed, and far too used to keeping everything exactly where it should be. When their worlds overlap, nothing about it feels simple. Not the distance between them. Not the way conversations stop short. Not the way presence alone begins to mean more than words ever do. Surrounded by people who see too much, say too little, and understand far more than they should, both of them are forced to navigate something that doesn't fit neatly into expectations or arrangements. Some things are written down. Some things are carefully agreed upon. And some things begin quietly-without permission, without warning, and without ever asking to be noticed.

"Even if it takes a thousand years, I'll find you again" This story is made after Jimmy said "A Thousand Years by Christina Perri" suits Sea the most. 🥹 The song is a powerful expression of deep, timeless love and unwavering commitment.

To the world, he's a billionaire king; to his husband, he's home. To the world, he's a quiet professor; to his husband's enemies, he's a ghost. One man rules the light, while the other bleeds for him in the dark. When the masks finally shatter, will the love survive the truth behind the steel?

"And in the end, we didn't find forever. We built it"

"THIS FANFICTION IS INSPIRED BY THE ONGOING KOREAN DRAMA 'OUR UNIVERSE' PLEASE NOTE THAT NO KIND OF PLAGARIZATION IS INTENDED. THE STORY IS PURELY INSPIRED, NOT COPIED. THE CORE OF THE TWO WILL BE 100% DIFFERENT" When tragedy strikes, life doesn't wait for anyone. At 24, Phuwin loses his older brother and sister-in-law in a sudden accident-leaving behind a tiny, six-month-old baby and no family to care for them. With his parents long gone and no one else to turn to, Phuwin makes a choice that will change everything: he takes the baby in. He's not alone. His closest friends-Pond, his steadfast roommate; Joong, the sarcastic neighbor with a surprisingly soft heart; and Dunk, the dramatic yet lovable chaos-magnet-step up to help. Together, they form an unconventional family, navigating sleepless nights, first cries, and the terrifying responsibility of raising a child who needs them more than ever. Between work deadlines, unexpected hospital visits, and the constant chaos of apartment life, bonds are tested, hearts are challenged, and love-both platonic and something more-grows in ways none of them expected. Phuwin learns that family isn't always born, sometimes it's built in the middle of chaos, laughter, and midnight lullabies.

"Thirty is coming. So is the question they never answered. One promise. One year. One chance to choose." At twenty-two, it was supposed to be a joke. A half-laugh, a careless promise made on an ordinary night: If we're still single at thirty, we'll try. No rules. No pressure. No expectations. They never spoke of it again. Seven years later, Pond and Phuwin are adults in every way that matters-steady jobs, separate lives, carefully built routines. They are still best friends. Still each other's constant. Still the first person the other thinks of, even when they pretend not to. When circumstances force them back into the same space, old familiarity turns dangerous. Shared mornings feel too intimate. Soft touches linger too long. Conversations circle around everything they refuse to name. And somewhere between now and thirty, the promise resurfaces-not as a joke, but as a question neither of them knows how to answer. Because this isn't about falling in love. It's about admitting they already did-and deciding whether they're brave enough to risk the one thing they've never lost. Set in the quiet tension of adulthood, Somewhere Before Forever is a slow-burn friends-to-lovers story about timing, restraint, and the kind of love that waits patiently... until it can't anymore.

At sixteen, awkward and sun-kissed Fourth Nattawat feels invisible in his elite high school-buried beneath braces, thick glasses, and the glow of his two confident best friends. But his heart beats only for Gemini Norawit, the school's golden boy: rich, kind, and completely out of reach. When his friends hand him a glittery self-help book titled "10 Teenage Tricks to Make Your Crush Notice You (Or Die Trying)," Fourth transforms himself-braces off, skin lightened, confidence faked. Suddenly, everyone notices him. Everyone... except Gemini. Enter Phuwin, Gemini's sharp-eyed older cousin, who transfers into their school-and sees Fourth immediately. While Gemini smiles politely, Phuwin looks like he means it. And when Gemini starts dating the school's prettiest majorette, Prim, Fourth lets himself fall for someone else... just to feel chosen. But what Fourth doesn't know is: Gemini has always seen him. Since second grade. Since mango sticky rice and a kindness he never forgot. He just didn't realize-until now-that watching from afar would never be enough.

"We were strangers made husbands by name. But I fell for you from the first day-and waited for you to love me back." Por never believed in love between men. So when his family arranges his marriage to Teetee-bright-eyed, loyal, endlessly warm-he signs the papers but shuts his heart. Teetee, on the other hand, falls for Por on their wedding day. He tries. He waits. He hopes. But loving someone who won't love you back? It hurts. When Por's best friend advises Teetee to pull away, Teetee goes quiet-protecting his heart by going cold. Only then does Por realize what he's about to lose. Just as their love begins to bloom, a sudden accident steals Teetee's memories. Now, Por must face the man he hurt-and win back a love that doesn't remember him. But what if Teetee's heart remembers everything his mind forgot? And what if this time, they choose each other for real?
