"Don't expect anything from this marriage." Those were the first words Johan Gauntlet ever said to him as his husband. North Natchana didn't flinch. He only smiled-soft, gentle, almost patient-as if those words didn't cut deeper than anything else ever had. "...I won't," he replied quietly. Because he never expected anything to begin with. Not from the marriage. Not from Johan. And especially not from the man he had loved long before he was ever allowed to stand beside him.

At just 23, North had been molded by pain, his voice stifled by years of abuse. But everything changed the night he was sold to Johan Ratchata, the enigmatic heir to a mafia empire, a man whose gaze could ignite both fear and fascination.

He saw North not just as a person, but as his most precious treasure-fragile and deserving of protection at all costs. His love for North was fierce and consuming, a fire that burned with an intensity that left no room for anyone else. As obsession twisted into something darker, Johan would do anything to ensure that North remained his, even if it meant crossing lines that could shatter them both.

The Missing Variable In a world shaped by legacy and expectation, Hill, Johan, Tonfah, and Arthit have always moved as one. Born into wealth and power, raised in the same elite circles, and bound by a friendship that began in elementary school, the four heirs have never questioned their future. They conquered undergrad together, and now, in a prestigious MBA program, they prepare to inherit empires built long before they were born. Everything in their lives has always followed a plan. Until someone unplanned walks in. North transfers from another province with a quiet confidence that doesn't try to impress - yet somehow does. Smart, sharp-tongued when needed, soft in ways that catch people off guard, he refuses to be intimidated by privilege or polished reputations. When a major academic project places him in the same group as the four lifelong friends, proximity begins to blur lines. Late-night strategy sessions turn into laughter. Competition turns into comfort. And Johan, who has always been steady and composed, begins to lose control of something he has never had to manage before - his heart. Falling was never part of the equation. But North doesn't fall easily. Guarded by reasons he doesn't share and scars he doesn't show, he keeps affection at arm's length, even as Johan moves closer. What begins as partnership becomes tension, teasing becomes longing, and friendship begins to tilt under emotions no one prepared for. Because love is messy. And when you've grown up in a world where everything is calculated - status, success, reputation - choosing your heart might be the riskiest business decision of all. In the middle of ambition, loyalty, and unspoken fear, one question remains: When the missing variable finally appears... will they solve for love - or lose everything they've built?

This is a fan fiction based on JohanNorth, characters are from the original book North, How Much is Your Love? by Howlsairy. North, a university student, was satisfied with his life except for one thing - his love life never worked out. At first, he believed that he was just unlucky in love, but when he turned 20, he started to experience strange things, like how, at night, while going back to his dorm, he would feel that someone was following him or how whenever he was interacting with any girls, he would feel someone was staring at him but the strangest thing was whenever he turned to look, no one was there. But one night it all changed.... He finally met him... JOHAN, the King of the Underworld-beautiful, terrifying, and impossibly familiar. He claims North is the reincarnation of his lost lover, a soul he's spent centuries searching for. And worse... he's not asking for North's love. He's come to reclaim it. JOHAN - "You've loved others in this life, but you were never theirs-you've always been mine, across centuries, across death, across every flame the world tried to burn us in. And this time I will never let you go again." As North's world begins to unravel - dreams turning to memories, strangers recognizing him by a name he doesn't remember- he must decide whether to run from the darkness... or surrender to the love that defies time, life, and even death itself.

From the get-go, the new Omega seems to avoid ―almost despise― Johan for no apparent reason. Every interaction between them is awkward, tense, and nearly unbearable. But when a project forces them to work together, the tension that kept them apart begins to shift. It's no longer rejection. It's something deeper. More dangerous. More real.
