==AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION== Ini adalah terjemahan bahasa Indonesia dari novel Thailand berjudul ซอโซ่ล่ามธีร์ karya Brave2Y yang telah memiliki ijin resmi dari penulis. So, take a seat & enjoy your tea na.... ****** Di dunia game, kalah adalah hal biasa. Tapi bagi Thi, streamer terkenal yang dingin dan perfeksionis, kalah dari pemain baru bernama Zo adalah hal yang tidak bisa ia terima. Awalnya Thi hanya ingin mencari pemain itu untuk memuaskan egonya. Namun semakin ia mendekati Zo-yang polos, jujur, dan punya senyum berbahaya-semakin sulit Thi memahami perasaannya sendiri. Zo yang ia kira "musuh" justru berubah menjadi orang yang paling ingin ia jaga. Sementara Zo, yang selalu merasa dirinya kecil, perlahan belajar bahwa ia layak dilihat... dan dicintai. Namun hubungan mereka tak semudah menyelesaikan satu level game. Ada masa lalu yang tak selesai, dunia e-sport yang keras, dan perbedaan karakter yang sering membuat mereka bentrok. Dalam permainan ini, tak ada tombol reset-hanya keberanian untuk mengakui apa yang sebenarnya mereka rasakan. Mereka berdua mungkin memulai sebagai lawan... tapi apakah takdir sedang menjadikan mereka Player One dan Player Two di hati masing-masing?

== AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION === . Johan : "Kau bisa membayar hutangmu lima ribu jika kau memelukku dan sepuluh ribu jika mencium ku. Dan untuk yang 'lainnya', aku akan menagih nya lain waktu sampai kau membayarku dengan penuh." North : "Aku tidak akan membayarmu sepeserpun!!! Apa kau gila? Bagaimana bisa kau mengatakan aku berhutang padamu ratusan ribu?!" Johan : "Kalau begitu, jadilah pacarku, maka aku akan memaafkanmu dengan cuma-cuma."

What happens when years of arguments, pranks, and unresolved grudges stop feeling like hatred? What happens when the one person you can't stand becomes the person constantly woven into your days? As North steps into the same medical university as Johan, their rivalry only grows louder beneath fluorescent halls and sleepless nights. But somewhere between chaos, competition, and far too many shared moments, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

Johan Chavalwit is a cold-blooded C.E.O of Valhalla International Holdings, the ruthless empire behind half of Thailand's property and luxury developments. As one of the youngest billionaires in Asia, He respects no one-status, gender, or age mean nothing to him. His silence is power, and his cruelty? Legendary. On the other side of the world is North Natchanan, a sharp-tongued, brutally honest professor of advanced engineering at Chulalongkorn University. Feared by students, cursed by his colleagues, and praised by academic boards, North has a reputation for tearing down egos with a single sentence. Yet every student who survives his class becomes one of the best in the field. He's not rich, but he's the university's highest-paid professor-for a reason. They were never supposed to meet. But one fateful night at a bar, heat collided with heat-sarcasm met indifference, and sparks gave way to something far more dangerous. Since that night, North became possessive. Territorial. He doesn't want Johan touched, glanced at, or even spoken to. What he doesn't realize is that Johan has already fallen-hard-and Johan's obsession runs darker, deeper. He's willing to kill anyone who dares get close to North. In a world where love is twisted with power, and desire comes hand-in-hand with destruction, Johan and North are on a collision course with chaos. Because when possession meets obsession-no one is safe.

In a world of flashing cameras, luxury brands, and polished reputations, North lives like a firecracker set loose-explosive, misunderstood, and always one step away from scandal. The third son of a prestigious, image-obsessed family, he's a celebrated car racer with the face of an angel and the heart of a rebel. Branded as the black sheep, he's beaten down behind golden gates-by a father who raises hands, and a mother who cuts with words. Johan, on the other hand, is Thailand's golden boy-a billionaire heir with a venomous mouth, a devil-may-care attitude, and a loyalty so fierce it borders on obsession. He's everything North claims to hate: arrogant, loud, spoiled-and entirely too intrigued by the firestorm that is North. When a drunken night throws their paths into a collision neither of them expected, Johan remembers everything-but North doesn't even know who he slept with. And Johan? He doesn't mind keeping it a secret. Not if it means keeping North close. But secrets don't stay buried, not in their world. Especially when those closest to them-their brothers, their friends, their families-are already tangled together in love, loyalty, and lies. And yet, the more North tries to burn bridges, the more Johan walks through fire just to stand beside him.

I do not own the series or characters. The story continues after the san francisco trip, with a little twist, Daotok falls first for Arthit. It's just my imagination how their story will look like if dao fell first, Consider it a fanfiction. so just enjoy : )

Johan Crown, Arthit Clermont, Tonfah Creast, and Hill Lancelot lived in a world where only one percent of the population ever dared to dive in, a world of influence, power, and untouchable luxury. While hiding a few of his own secrets North navigates a new world filled with impossible beings. A mystical world far beyond North's reach or so he thought. Because, very soon, North would find himself standing at the center of that very chaos. Top Rankings: #1 Johan

At just 23, North had been molded by pain, his voice stifled by years of abuse. But everything changed the night he was sold to Johan Ratchata, the enigmatic heir to a mafia empire, a man whose gaze could ignite both fear and fascination. Johan was a storm wrapped in a tailored suit, a man who had never known love but craved possession. He saw North not just as a person, but as his most precious treasure-fragile and deserving of protection at all costs. His love for North was fierce and consuming, a fire that burned with an intensity that left no room for anyone else. As obsession twisted into something darker, Johan would do anything to ensure that North remained his, even if it meant crossing lines that could shatter them both.

At Bangkok High, everyone knows Johan - handsome, confident, and used to getting everything he wants. But when he meets North, the angelic, innocent, and fiercely truthful class leader, everything changes. Drawn to North's delicate features and unwavering kindness, Johan finds himself caught between curiosity, attraction, and a dare set by his mischievous friends, Hill and Arhit. As games, dares, and lies intertwine with genuine emotions, North's honesty and moral compass put him at the center of chaos - fights, family confrontations, and heartbreak - while Johan struggles to separate his feelings from the thrill of the game. Will their hearts survive the dares, the misunderstandings, and the manipulations of those around them? Or will innocence and truth be lost to pride, anger, and unspoken love? A story of innocence, temptation, and emotional turmoil, where love is as complicated as it is inevitable.

North has been in love with Johan for two years. Ever since he laid eyes on him. But Johan is too out of his reach for him to even consider a relationship with him. Or is he wrong?....
