Sugar & Sweat Book One - The Beginning of Us (Boxer x Pâtissier)
Joong Archen is built from violence and survival. The crowd calls him The Black Reaper-a fighter who wins with blood on his knuckles and silence in his eyes. He doesn't drink. He doesn't party. He doesn't let anyone close.
Dunk Natachai is the opposite: warm hands, soft heart, a pastry shop that tastes like heaven and feels like safety. He believes in big love the way some people believe in religion-quietly, stubbornly, painfully.
When a stupid bet pushes Joong into Dunk's orbit, it should be simple. Thirty days. A game. A distraction.
But the moment Joong steps into Dunk's shop, something cracks.
Dunk smells like vanilla and home.
Like a memory Joong buried when he was eight.
And Dunk-without knowing why-starts to feel it too.
A childhood promise. A blue flower ring. A boy in a treehouse who once whispered: You're my yellow.
Now they're adults, and the world is sharper. Joong's grief is a loaded weapon. Dunk's softness is a target. And the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes-because Joong's darkness is real...
...and Dunk might be the only thing that can pull him back.
If the truth doesn't destroy them first.
