Some people believe love is loud. Confessions. Fireworks. Chaos. But sometimes... love is quiet. A 21 year old music major who doesn't believe in love. A 25 year old kindergarten teacher who believes in it - but not for himself. Between morning drop-offs, soft melodies, messy paint, and tiny hands holding onto big ones... something begins. Not loud. Not rushed. Just slow. From denial... to forever.

"You're staring again," Est whispered. "I'm memorizing," William said. "In case you forget to come back tomorrow." _____________________________________ In the 1860s, Siam stood between tradition and change. William, the son of a loyal servant, spent his days tending the gardens of the grand Khunthara estate. Est, the family's gentle heir, had been raised for duty, to study, to obey, to become the man his lineage demanded. They found each other in quiet corners and sunlit courtyards, where laughter softened into something neither dared to name. Beneath the banyan tree, love had taken root, fragile, forbidden, and achingly real. Yet in a world ruled by hierarchy and silence, even the softest affection could become a dangerous rebellion. A tender historical romance about devotion, loss, and the courage to love when love itself had to hide. A WilliamEst story. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story explores historical and cultural repression, instances of homophobia, and the darker sides of class and society. It also contains moments of intimacy and emotional intensity. While written with sensitivity, some scenes may be heavy or difficult to read. Reader discretion is advised.

William Jakrapatr and Est Supha are rivals at school. They seem to hate each other's guts. Especially William. William hates Est the most, he thinks he's too...perfect. However, that is far from the truth.

A story about a quite innocent student name Est Supha met a popular campus fuckboy name William Jakrapatr.

Everyone says Est Supha is made of ice-cold, distant, untouchable. But William remembers the warmth he saw ten years ago. Now William's grown, and fate puts him right back at Est's side-this time as his bodyguard. Est doesn't recognize him. He probably wouldn't care even if he did. But William remembers every second. And he's not just here to protect him. He's here to be the one Est lets in-and maybe the only one who can warm the ice around his heart.

Est never wanted attention, but when a persistent admirer corners him, he panics-grabbing the nearest boy and blurting out a lie: "He's my boyfriend." The problem? That boy is William, the cold, dangerous student everyone avoids. What starts as a fake relationship to escape trouble slowly turns into something far harder to deny.

"I want more. Do you want something casual between us?" Est asked. William's world is one of cold control, a mafia king stained with blood, "On my terms". Est, a soul of quiet fire, finds himself bound by a tether of impossible terms: no questions, and never a kiss. Some desires, though, refuse to play by the rules. Especially when a shattered soul begins to crave. #Highest Ranking 🏅 #4 williamest ⚠️ Disclaimers: Rated Mature for description/slight visual images of blood.

William's all softness wrapped in mischief. Est's the calm storm everyone admires. When they end up sharing a home, tension brews-not from fights, but from glances held too long and touches that linger. What begins as quiet rivalry turns into fierce devotion, and soon, Est isn't just protective-he's possessive. William was never looking for love, but now he's found something deeper, and far more dangerous.

🖤 In a world ruled by shadows and syndicates, Est Supha is untouchable-Thailand's most feared mafia boss, ice-cold and calculating. William Jakrapatr is just as dangerous, forged by betrayal and ambition. When war forces them to share battlegrounds, their rivalry sparks something even deadlier than bullets: desire. Neither man believes in softness, in surrender, or in peace. Yet behind locked doors, tension erupts into raw intimacy. Their love isn't sweet-it's sharp, volatile, and laced with sacrifice.

Young CEO Est is struggling under pressure-until a visit to the café across the street and a chance meeting with William begins to change everything. In the heart of Bangkok's business district, best friends William and Nut open Chapters and Cups, a cozy book café where every cup of coffee comes with a handwritten message-and sometimes, a gentle nudge toward healing. Let's see how William and Est find comfort, connection, and maybe something more... one cup at a time. Snippet: He walked up to the counter slowly, eyes scanning the menu, although he wasn't really reading it. "You're new here," the barista said, already watching him. Est looked up. "How did you know?" The barista smiled, easy and confident. "Because I'd remember your face if you weren't." That made Est pause. His lips twitched, amused despite himself. "I'm William," the barista added, extending a hand. "Let me make you a drink. I've got just the thing." Est raised an eyebrow. "Do I get to know what it is?" "Nope," William said cheerfully. "Only question is-do you trust me?" Est stared at him for a second, then nodded. "Surprise me."
