Some people are born into a family. Others find one. Pond, Phuwin, Gemini have spent their entire lives growing up together-living only a floor apart, sharing meals, birthdays, holidays, heartbreaks, and every ordinary moment in between. They're neighbours by address, but family by choice. Pond has loved Phuwin for as long as he can remember. He just never planned on telling him. As childhood quietly gives way to adulthood, friendships begin to blur into something deeper. Long-kept secrets surface, impossible choices test unbreakable bonds, and the people they've always called home suddenly become the ones capable of breaking their hearts. With an overprotective older brother who notices everything, best friends who know each other a little too well, and feelings that refuse to stay hidden forever, love is bound to complicate even the strongest found family. A slow-burn romance filled with longing, laughter, heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that grows over years instead of days. Tropes: • Childhood Friends to Lovers • Neighbours to Lovers • My Brother's Best Friend • My Best Friend's Brother • Found Family • Protective Brother Trope • Slow Burn • Mutual Pining • Friends to Lovers • Happy Ending • Mature themes near the end

Like any other teenager, I wanted a damn break from school. Well, a murder on campus gave me that break. Sadly (for me, mostly) the murder had to do with my new... "friend": a homicidal, obsessive, cunning, and possessive stalker with an irritating sense of humor. How did I stumble onto the stalker of all stalkers? no. damn. clue. What I do know is that they text me obsessively, kill people around me, and threaten my friends and family if I throw away my phone or tell the cops. Well, they cover the categories of insane, murderous, and annoying, so I'm already screwed. But that doesn't mean I'm going down without a fight.

Seungcheol should've never taken the bet. But when his parents told him that he 'cannot hold down a relationship with a man for six months' his pride answered before his brain did. He said he could. They said he couldn't. And just like that, a stupid family bet turned into a Christmas nightmare. Because his boyfriend dumped him last month. And instead of admitting he lost, Seungcheol just... kept pretending the relationship still existed. Right up until his parents announced they were coming over for the holidays to finally meet this mysterious six-month boyfriend. Enter the only person he trusts enough to ask for help: his House mate Jeonghan. Actor. Busy. Generally allergic to other people's problems. STRAIGHT. and absolutely not interested in getting dragged into a bet he didn't sign up for. Too bad he's the only one who can make this lie survive Christmas. "So... remember that bet my parents made? The one where they said I couldn't stay in a relationship with a guy for six months?" "If you're about to ask me for something, the answer is no." "I just need you to pretend-" "No." "You didn't even hear the rest-" "NO." Or The very overused plot of "christmas fake dating ( ft.Jeonghcheol )

"Hello. I'm Seungcheol Choi... Chaerin's boyfriend." The chopsticks slipped from Jeonghan's fingers, clattering against the plate. The chair next to him scraped the floor, and suddenly a warm body settled into it. His fist clenched against his thigh as he chewed on tteokbokki a little too fast, trying not to look. He had expected a lot when he came home for summer: The dog giving birth again. The backyard swing finally fixed. Long, slow afternoons that smelled of sun and dust. But not this. Not his sister introducing her boyfriend to their parents like it was normal. Not the way Seungcheol's smile lingered a little too long, deliberate and dangerous. He swallowed. Summer was supposed to be simple. Somehow, this wasn't.

Yoon Jeonghan is "The Nation's Angel," a superstar whose golden voice and charming smile hide a soul weary of the spotlight's lonely glare. Choi Seungcheol is "The Wolf," a feared mafia boss who rules the underworld with an iron will, his heart as cold as the steel he carries. Their worlds collide when Jeonghan's company, drowning in secret debts, fails to pay the immense sum it owes to Seungcheol's syndicate. Seeing an opportunity, Seungcheol doesn't just demand money; he takes possession. His price is Yoon Jeonghan himself. Kidnapped from his green room and thrust into a gilded cage, Jeonghan responds the only way he knows how: with defiant fury. He insults his captor, challenges his authority, and vows not to give him a moment of peace. To Seungcheol, the singer is just an asset, a pawn. An infuriatingly beautiful, sharp-tongued pawn who refuses to be intimidated. But hatred is a cold bedfellow, and proximity breeds a dangerous understanding. Behind the barbs and the power plays, a twisted bond begins to form. Jeonghan sees cracks in the monster's armor-a hidden kindness for the forgotten, a soul as lonely as his own. Seungcheol finds himself drawn to the fire in Jeonghan's eyes, a flame that doesn't flicker even in the face of death.

Valemont Academy. Where power is inherited, wealth is worshipped, and one wrong move can ruin you. Seungcheol is a scholarship student-cold, disciplined, untouchable. Jeonghan is rich, reckless, and sharp-tongued, a boy who thrives on mocking everything Seungcheol stands for. "You think you belong here?" Jeonghan sneers. "I belong wherever I choose," Seungcheol snaps back. Rivalry turns to obsession. Insults become kisses, hatred twists into desire, and the line between enemies and lovers blurs... dangerously. At Valemont, some battles aren't fought in classrooms-they're fought in shadows, behind closed doors, and on knees.

Jeonghan's affection for Joshua was unswerving, at least that's what he thought until life threw him a curveball, in the form of Seungcheol's child growing inside him.
