One fights because he has no choice. The other has never made one. Joss Wayar learned long ago that dreams don't put food on the table. Every bruise, every broken bone, every drop of blood spilled in underground fighting rings keeps a roof over his family's head, pays for his mother's medical care, and ensures his sister can have the future he never did. His own dreams can wait. They always do. Gawin Caskey has everything a person could ask for: wealth, prestige, a place at one of the country's most elite universities, and a future already carved in stone by generations before him. Yet for the first time in his life, he feels trapped. When a reckless search for excitement leads Gawin into the brutal world of illegal street fights, he finds himself face-to-face with a man who lives in everything he has been taught to fear. A man who bleeds for every tomorrow. A man who refuses to stop fighting. As their worlds collide, both are forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: The poor are not lazy. The privileged are not free. And sometimes the people who seem to have everything are just as lost as those who have nothing. In a city divided by money, power, and survival, two young men will discover that the hardest fight isn't for freedom. It's for a future together.💕🤭

Gawin survived the stalker, or at least he thought he did

A sequel to "Close Enough to Touch"

Gawin aspiring to become a doctor lives with his mother and older brother at their uncle's house. One day, his cousin - struggling with drug addiction - falsely accuses him to avoid getting into trouble himself. Meanwhile, Joss - an upright police officer infatuated by Gawin - finds himself in an unexpected situation. As events unfold, their paths cross in unforseen ways, binding their lives together in a twist of fate.

Parallel worlds exist. They say you'd only ever see your other version if you both died at the same time. A fucking coincidence with no witnesses. Until now. Gawin, a mercenary who lives for money and the rule that every move has a price, dies in an explosion. In another plane, Gawin-a destined, enslaved omega-poisons himself to escape his torment. Their souls converge, and with one calculated shove, the mercenary falls into the dying body of the slave. He wakes up in the palace of Emperor Joss, a man of profound darkness whose cruel kindness shines for only one: his future husband and the "only love of his life." Together, they made the original omega's existence a bottomless pit of misery. Now, a guest with killer instincts and a mouth full of curses occupies that weak body. "A shitty body, a contemptible concubine title, and two men in power who think I'm still the same toy... What a pair of idiots!" He, who isn't afraid to kill and has a special talent for driving anyone crazy with hatred, begins his masterstroke. But the board has an unpredictable piece. Because Emperor Joss himself guards a secret not even his beloved knows: he rules as if he harbored two souls in a single body. The game is set.

Joss, a celebrated novelist, retreats from the noise of city life, media scrutiny, and creative burnout to a secluded family manor deep in the winter woods of Pennsylvania. What begins as a quiet escape meant for healing and solitude slowly fractures into unease. In isolation, memories resurface, and the ghost of his past refuses to stay hidden anymore.

Some people are loved only after they are gone. Gawin grows up feeling temporary. Temporary child. Temporary family member. Temporary replacement. And Joss Wayar Sangngern becomes both the thing that hurts him most and the thing he wants most.

Gawin is a rebellious young man who has just turned 17 and is forced to live with his mother after falling out with his father. He is having difficulty with the sudden change and the routine in the rural region that he finds tedious. Until one day, he ends up meeting a mysterious man who lives inside the forest called Joss, and his life will never be the same again. What secrets does he hide?

(Joss x Gawin) Instagram vibes/Narrative chapters // What happens when rising singer Gawin crosses paths with Joss, the heir to one of the most powerful companies in the country? Their connection is instant-undeniable. But in a world of flashing cameras, silent scandals, and unspoken rules, love isn't always enough. Between late-night songs, hidden glances, and the weight of everything they're not allowed to feel, they'll have to fight for their story... If they want it to last.

Años atrás, Joss y Gawin fueron amantes. Jóvenes, impulsivos, soñadores. Pero la vida los separó: Gawin viajó a Europa para perseguir su carrera como músico, mientras Joss se quedó en Tailandia intentando olvidarlo a través de la fotografía. Cinco años después, el destino los reúne en París. Joss llega a exponer su trabajo en una galería local -una serie de retratos titulada "Silencios"- y, sin saberlo, una de las piezas más elogiadas es una antigua fotografía que tomó de Gawin.
