"You're staring again," Est whispered. "I'm memorizing," William said. "In case you forget to come back tomorrow." _____________________________________ In the 1860s, Siam stood between tradition and change. William, the son of a loyal servant, spent his days tending the gardens of the grand Khunthara estate. Est, the family's gentle heir, had been raised for duty, to study, to obey, to become the man his lineage demanded. They found each other in quiet corners and sunlit courtyards, where laughter softened into something neither dared to name. Beneath the banyan tree, love had taken root, fragile, forbidden, and achingly real. Yet in a world ruled by hierarchy and silence, even the softest affection could become a dangerous rebellion. A tender historical romance about devotion, loss, and the courage to love when love itself had to hide. A WilliamEst story. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story explores historical and cultural repression, instances of homophobia, and the darker sides of class and society.

Nani Hirunkit thought signing with Phoenix Media would be simple-act in a BL drama, survive his manager's fujoshi fantasies, and pretend he knows how to be a convincing bottom on screen. Easy... right? Wrong. On his first week, he accidentally tackles his CEO, Sky Wongravee Nateetorn-a man so dangerously handsome he should come with a warning label. When Nani unintentionally saves Sky from an attack, he becomes part of a world he never asked for: mafia secrets, real danger, and a boss whose quiet intensity keeps setting off explosions in his very straight heart. Sky doesn't need protection. He doesn't need romance. He definitely doesn't need a chaotic actor with zero BL experience. But he can't seem to ignore Nani.

And he might not be as straight as he thought. When acting and reality start to blur, Nani's biggest challenge is no longer the BL script... It's surviving Sky Wongravee himself.
