--- 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. ---

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.

Luckily, his parents are long-time friends with Pond's wealthy family and arrange for him to live in Pond's luxury apartment In the same building, neighbour First keeps showing up to fix things, while Khaotung "casually" visits whenever First's around.

Phuwin Tangsakyuen is a brilliant and mysterious student with a secret life no one knows about. Coming from a powerful family that controls both legal and illegal empires, he's incredibly wealthy, but he hides it all. To everyone else, he's just a quiet, unassuming genius, blending into the background. Pond Naravit Lertratkosum, the son of a famous actress and a wealthy businessman, is cold, ruthless, and known for his bullying ways. When he targets Phuwin, he expects to break him easily, but what he doesn't realize is that Phuwin is far more than he appears.

With secrets that could change everything, Phuwin must decide if he'll continue to stay under the radar or reveal the power and wealth he's worked so hard to keep hidden. The question is, when the truth comes out, will Pond be ready for the storm that follows?

What happens when two people find each other in the same company- one an alpha who swears he doesn't need love, forced to find a fake boyfriend just to escape a marriage his parents are trying to trap him in... And the other an omega who's sassy yet gentle, fiercely independent, and loves his family enough to leave them behind for their sake? What happens when their pretend relationship starts to shift the ground beneath their feet- When something that was supposed to be fake begins to feel dangerously real? When complications appear in the form of a miracle, a heartbeat, something small yet powerful enough to change both of their lives forever? What happens when one of them disappears- leaving behind guilt, responsibility, and a love he never meant to feel- while the other is left heartbroken, confused, and angry? Was it truly hate... Or was it pain? Or was it a wound from loving someone who had to leave, even when he didn't want to? And then- what happens when they collide again five years later? One still carrying the ache of the past, and the other burdened with guilt for the hurt he caused but unable to erase the memories of the happiest- and saddest- days they shared. What happens when fate brings them back to the very love they tried to pretend wasn't real? Was it ever fake... Or was it love all along?

They say love is patient. Love is kind. But whatever Pond and Phuwin have? It's *neither.* Ever since they were kids, Pond and Phuwin have been each other's biggest headache. They bicker like it's a sport, glare like it's a habit, and compete in *everything.* So naturally... their families decide to force them into marriage. For tradition. For family business. For chaos. 😌 Now stuck in an engagement they never asked for, sharing space, showing up in public like a *"happy couple,"* and trying *very* hard not to kill each other, they both come to one horrifying realization: **This hate might not be hate at all.** And falling for your enemy? That was never part of the deal.

Omegaverse AU In a prestigious university where alphas dominate the top, Pond - a proud, arrogant alpha - and Phuwin - a fiery omega who refuses to act "soft" - have been rivals since the day they met. They bicker over *everything*: grades, attention, dorm leadership, even cafeteria seats. But fate doesn't care about pride or rivalry - and when they're forced into close quarters by an accidental bond during Phuwin's unexpected early heat... things change. What started as hate begins to blur. Touches linger. Glances burn. And when instincts clash with emotions, only one question remains: **Is it just the bond - or something more?** ---
