Ten years. 3,650 days. A lifetime of bestfriends and nothing more. "In all our years together," Dunk started "I didn't know you liked guys​" "I didn't know I did," Joong responded, "Until I met Fluke."​ "Wait..." Dunk's voice cracked "So you mean, we've shared everything together for years? We've slept in the same bed, Joong. My head has been on your shoulder more times than I can count, and you didn't feel that spark with me? Not even once?" "Dunk... I've just never thought of you in that way. You're clearly gorgeous, But I just don't see you in a romantic way" "Are you saying Fluke is more attractive than me? Is he better than me? Is that why you could feel it with him in a few months, but not with me in ten years?" "Dunk... this is ridiculous, i don't get why it bothers you that you're not my type" "Is... is there something wrong with me, Joong?" "There's nothing wrong with you. You're perfect. But why do you suddenly care? You've never thought of me in that way either, Dunk. Not once in ten years did you look at me and want more. You never minded the fact that I didn't think of you like that why now? he laughed "I just..." Dunk started "You're my best friend. That's the box I put you in." "Don't pretend you mind being 'not my type' just because you're bored with your girlfriend." ​"I'm not bored," Dunk whispered.. ​"I have to go now. Fluke might get lonely if I leave him too long." The silence Joong left behind wasn't just empty-it was insulting. Bored. The word felt like a slap. Joong really thought this was about View? That Dunk was just looking for a distraction from a stale relationship? He was gorgeous. He was perfect. But he wasn't the type. It wasn't heartbreak-it was a sting to his ego. After a decade of being Joong's everything, he was suddenly just the guy who didn't make the cut. ​"You said I wasn't your type, Joong Archen? Well, suddenly... I mind."

**** cette histoire ne m'appartient pas, je l'ai traduite pour mon plaisir et celui des fans ;-) désolée s'il y a des fautes **** Pafon, étudiant à l'université, se retrouve ivre dans un bar et embrasse un inconnu. Mais il n'a pas le temps de se remettre de ses frasques car il doit absolument trouver un stage pour obtenir son diplôme. Heureusement, grâce aux relations d'un ami, il en décroche finalement un. Cependant, en arrivant dans l'entreprise, il découvre que le PDG n'est autre que Patlom, l'inconnu du bar. Ce dernier se montre particulièrement entreprenant, avec une approche loin d'être subtile. Ironiquement, c'est donc le stagiaire qui devra coacher son propre patron pour qu'il apprenne à le courtiser correctement...

It was just a dare. Just one kiss. Just one night. Joong still calls himself straight. Dunk still pretends it meant nothing. But nothing doesn't come with jealousy, late-night touches and the kind of tension that ruins friendships. Friends with benefits was supposed to be easy. Catching feelings wasn't part of the deal.

In a world where alphas, betas, and omegas exist together - love isn't simple. Men can bear children. Status defines everything. And emotions? They're dangerous when mixed with power. Solaris Dynamics, a billion-dollar company, leads the world toward clean energy. Behind its success is Joong, a young CEO who seems to have it all - money, power, and women chasing him. But one night, in a dim-lit bar after celebrating another global award, a drunk stranger bumps into him in the bathroom. That stranger is Dunk, a quiet engineer from another firm. A single night. A spark. A kiss that shouldn't have happened. Two months later, Dunk faints at work and wakes up in the hospital with shocking news - he's pregnant. Confused and scared, he starts searching for the man responsible. Until fate plays its cruel trick: the man he's been avoiding... becomes his new work partner. Joong and Dunk's worlds collide again through a company collaboration between Solaris Dynamics and EcoNova Energy. Joong doesn't remember that night clearly - only flashes of a "beautiful man" in his arms. But as they work together, something about Dunk feels... too familiar. Dunk, on the other hand, tries to hide everything - the pregnancy, the truth, the feelings. Yet destiny has other plans. From rivals to lovers. From strangers to soulmates. And from one secret night... to a family that changes everything. "They wanted to save the world - not fall for each other."

For six years, Dunk Natachai stood beside Joong Archen under the same spotlight. But when fame narrows its focus, one of them is slowly erased-by the company, the fans, and finally by the silence of the person who once defended him. When the industry replaces Dunk, he chooses to disappear instead. Only then does Joong realize that love isn't proven onstage-but in who you refuse to leave behind. #joongdunk

Patlom is an arrogant Chinese-Italian CEO of a media and printing company who cares only about his job. That is, until he meets Pafon, a senior student who has applied for an internship at his company. The reason? He remembers that this guy is the same one who kissed him when they met at a bar. Patlom never thought he'd see him again, so he vows to himself that this time, he'll do everything he can to keep Pafon from slipping through his fingers again, even going so far as to make him his honorary (nude) photographer. He'll try to win Pafon over, not by being sweet, but by being a real pain.

In the dangerous underworld of Thailand, Joong is known as a ruthless and untouchable mafia boss, feared by everyone who crosses his path. But everything shifts when he walks into a quiet flower shop and meets Dunk Natachai, an innocent and kind-hearted owner who treats him like nothing more than a grieving son. What begins as a simple purchase for his father's funeral turns into an unexpected connection neither of them can ignore. As Joong's violent world begins to collide with Dunk's gentle one, love slowly blooms between them-fragile, forbidden, and powerful enough to change them both. * *This is a work of fiction.

Joong Archen was counting down to his wedding day-until the screech of tires and a sickening crash turned his world to ash. Dunk Natachai's hands on the wheel took Dao Ransitang (Joong's fiancée) from him, left him lying silent on the rain-soaked asphalt. Prison was too clean, too easy a way out. So he forced Dunk to stand where he was meant to stand, to say the vows he'd practiced a hundred times, to wear his ring on a finger that didn't belong there. Blue is the hue of bruised skin, of tears that won't stop falling, of the cold emptiness in his chest that mirrors the distance in Dunk's eyes. Every touch is a reminder of loss, every word a lash of blame-but it's all a cover. The truth is, he never loved the man who died. He used the tragedy as an excuse to marry Dunk, a way to claim what he'd truly wanted all along. They're bound together by blood and pain, two ghosts living in a marriage that was never meant to be. But can this agony they share ever become something more... or will it drag them both down into a darkness no one can escape?
