Five years ago, Phuwin disappeared.
Not because he was weak. Not because he gave up.
But because survival demanded something unforgivable.
When his child was born too early - out of love from his boyfriend, his first love - still in highschool, drowning in hospital bills and threatened by men he should never have trusted, Phuwin signed a contract with a club that promised money in exchange for his freedom.
It was meant to be temporary.
It became a cage.
His days belong to Lina - his daughter, his reason to breathe.
His nights belong to the contract he cannot break.
Five years stretched.
And then, he appears. Pond. His first love - his supposed boyfriend, the father of his child which he never knew, the one he thought he lost forever. The one who caused his heart to shatter years ago with a cruel bet.
On his birthday.
A stupid celebration. A private room. Drunken laughter.
"We booked someone for you. Birthday privilege."
Pond didn't expect anything. Didn't want anything.
And then the door opened.
Phuwin stepped inside - composed, distant, professional.
He looked at Pond the way he looks at every client.
"Happy birthday," he said quietly.
The words shattered something in Pond's chest.
Because this wasn't a stranger.
This was the boy he loved.
The one he broke with a cruel bet.
The one he's been searching for.
The father of a child he never knew existed.
"No," Pond said.
His friends laughed, confused.
"I said no." His voice was calm now. Controlled. Dangerous. "Cancel it."
He wasn't refusing the booking.
He was refusing to let Phuwin stand there like he belonged to anyone else.
Like he belonged here - in a bar. To serve people.
Not again.
