Playing with Fire - Black Orchid Book One Hitman × Escort × Informant Chicago has a club that rich people don't admit they visit. Black Orchid-velvet rooms, private rules, and a price for everything. Joong is the city's cleanest hitman. Quiet. Precise. Untouchable. The kind of man who doesn't threaten-he finishes. Dunk is Black Orchid's most dangerous escort. Not because he's soft. Because he's smart. He knows how to survive men who think money makes them gods. Then the police corner Dunk and turn him into a weapon: Get close to Joong. Get something real. No wires in a van. No interrogation room. Just silk sheets, controlled breaths, and questions asked with a smile. Joong keeps booking him anyway. Not because he trusts him-because he wants to know why. What follows isn't romance. It's a power game-slow, intimate, brutal. Joong tightening rules. Dunk learning how to bend them. Each meeting a test. Each touch a trap. And while they circle each other, Black Orchid rots from the inside: a new drug, corrupt money, and bodies that keep showing up "accidentally." Everyone is lying. Everyone is using someone. No one is innocent. This isn't a love story. It's a fire. And once you step into Black Orchid, you don't walk out untouched.

Dunk is the definition of gentle - soft-spoken, polite, hardworking, and painfully innocent. A scholarship med student juggling two jobs, he still brings soup to his mum after every shift. She's all he has. His whole world. When she suddenly collapses and needs emergency surgery, Dunk's life shatters. The cost is impossible. The hospital refuses to move without payment. No savings. No family. No time. And that's when Joong walks in. Joong - the city's most feared mafia heir. Cold. Ruthless. Emotionless. Except the moment he sees Dunk... something snaps. An obsession. Fierce. Immediate. Consuming. Dunk knows none of this. He only hears Joong's offer: "I'll pay everything - the surgery, treatment, private hospital. No limits. No debt. In return... you belong to me." Joong doesn't want money, favors, or work. He wants Dunk - the sweet, innocent boy who has no idea how dangerous he is. Dunk is terrified. But he's also a son watching his mother slip away. He signs. And Joong's obsession begins. • Moves Dunk into his penthouse • Controls where he goes, who he talks to, how late he's out • Drives him to university every morning • Assigns a "driver" who is actually a bodyguard • Threatens anyone who raises their voice at Dunk • Attends every hospital appointment • Watches him study like prayer Dunk is too soft, too pure, too good for Joong's world - and that only makes Joong more possessive. Anyone who looks too long disappears. Anyone who flirts regrets it. Anyone who challenges Joong's claim pays for it. Dunk was supposed to hate him. But Joong is gentle with him in ways no one expects - quiet, protective, almost fragile when Dunk is near. Because Dunk isn't just Joong's obsession. He's the last piece of innocence Joong has left. And Joong will burn the entire city before he lets him go. This isn't a love story. It's the story of a sweet boy who needed help... and the mafia man who chose to own him, protect him, and love him - to the edge of

💍 Their marriage existed only for the name's sake-an arrangement bound by law but not by love. 💔 All he ever asked from his legal husband was a motherly blessing... just one right that truly belonged to him-a baby. 👶 A life he could call his own, to fill the emptiness that echoed through his lonely days after marriage. 🌧️ He never complained about his husband's affairs, never spoke a word against the women in his life. 🌹 He accepted everything in silence-his only wish, a child. 🕯️ This story belongs to Bora. I'm just a fan rewriting it in our favorite couple version - Pond and Phuwin. 💗

--- TETHERED BY FATE Pond and Phuwin were childhood rivals turned best friends-brilliant, competitive, and inseparable. But everything changed when their secondary genders emerged. Suddenly, the balance shifted, and so did the world around them. Now, years later, they barely speak-caught in a silence built from roles neither of them chose. But fate doesn't forget. When a single moment throws them back into each other's orbit, old emotions stir, and unspoken truths begin to unravel. As feelings once buried resurface, Pond must face the truth he's hidden for years. Because some bonds never break. And some loves wait patiently... even when they're forbidden. ---

He ruled the city with fear-cold eyes, steady aim, and a heart made of steel. Until he met him. Phuwin Tangsa, the rareborn omega who smelled of rain and carried kindness like a weapon. One glance, and Pond Natachai-Alpha, enforcer, sinner-forgot how to breathe. But love in the mafia world comes with blood on its hands. When loyalty demands cruelty and power demands sacrifice, Pond must choose: protect his empire... or the boy who made him human. > "I'm your biggest mistake," Phuwin whispered. "No," Pond said, voice breaking. "You're my only peace."

This is a story about two boys who never chose to be family... but fate tied their lives together anyway. Dunk - the older one - grew up too fast, learned to hide his pain behind power, money and silence. Joong - the younger one - ran away from truth, from emotions, from everything that broke his heart. They loved each other in different ways... and hated themselves for those feelings. Years passed. The world changed. But the string between them never broke. Life took everything from them - parents, peace, childhood innocence - and yet destiny kept pushing them together again and again. This is not just a romance. This is a story of pain, denial, loss... rediscovering love, fighting fear... and finally choosing each other. Two stepbrothers. One forbidden love. One destiny. And in the end, they do not just become lovers. They build a family. A home. A forever.

He kills without hesitation. I cry over spilled milkshakes. Dunk Natachai is sunshine in human form clingy, pouty, and way too sweet for the world he lives in. Joong Aydin is the cold, quiet heir to the Aydin mafia smart, possessive, and terrifying to everyone but one person. When a milkshake, a pout, and a kiss turn friendship into something dangerously real, Joong learns that love is the one thing he can't control... and Dunk learns that even monsters can be gentle with the right heart. 🖤 He's the mafia's heir. I'm just his favorite weakness. #joongdunk #pondphuwin #geminifourth #ForceBook #bestfriendstolovers #mafia

On the night of his forced engagement, a heartbroken heir escapes the glittering party and the chains of expectation. Seeking freedom, he finds himself in the arms of a stranger - a reckless night meant to numb his pain. But fate plays cruel games. Weeks later, he learns he's carrying the child of that mysterious man - the one he once called a monster in bed, now the father of his unborn babies. They shared only a night, their faces hidden in darkness, yet their souls were marked forever. What destiny awaits when love is born from rebellion, and a stranger becomes the center of his world? This story belongs to Bora. I'm just a fan rewriting it in our favorite couple version - Pond and Phuwin. 💗

Pond, now 32, is a divorced single father trying to balance his job and raising his 4-year-old daughter, Mali. He's emotionally burnt out, still healing from a messy divorce where his ex-wife left not just him-but seemed to detach from their daughter too. Phuwin, 20, is Pond's charming and confident nephew. He moves to the city for following his passion and temporarily stays with Pond. Their age difference. Their blood relation. The daughter sleeping in the next room. So many reasons to keep their distance. But Phuwin never was good at staying away.

Dunk has spent years in the ER saving people on the edge of death-but the one they rush in at 2:17 a.m. shatters every rule he's learned to live by. A stranger, carved open by knives, grazed by a bullet, and covered in scars that speak of a life soaked in violence. A stranger who should mean nothing to him... yet the moment Dunk touches him to stop the bleeding, something beneath his calm fractures. A pull he can't name. A memory he shouldn't have. Then the stranger's eyes snap open-wild, unnervingly aware-and all the noise of the ER seems to fall away. He looks at Dunk not like a doctor, not like a rescuer, but like a man who he had lost ... and never stopped searching for. Before Dunk can move, the stranger seizes his wrist with a desperate strength. "Dunk... please don't disappear ever again." Words that make no sense-yet feel like a grief he's already lived. And just as suddenly, the man collapses. Unconscious. Dying. Leaving Dunk with a bruised wrist, bloodstained gloves, and a question that claws at him long after the gurney disappears into the ICU: How can a dying stranger say he's already lost Dunk once... and why does some part of Dunk believe him? As secrets surface, memories blur, and danger coils closer, Dunk is about to discover that the man he saved isn't a stranger at all-just the key to a past he doesn't remember... and a future someone is willing to kill for.
