Sweet Lethality He rules the city with fear. The only man who doesn't fear him runs a bakery. Joong runs the city with quiet precision. Fear clears rooms before he even speaks. Deals end the moment he decides they should. And the Obsidian Circle ensures no one forgets that. Control has always been easy. Until a small bakery appears on a quiet street. Dunk doesn't fear him. Doesn't flatter him. Doesn't even seem impressed by the reputation that makes the rest of the city careful with their words. Instead, he watches Joong the way a baker studies a recipe - calm, observant, patient. Joong should walk away. Curiosity, however, is far more dangerous than anger. Because Dunk may look sweet, but sweetness can hide sharper edges than anyone expects. And when two men built on control begin circling each other, the city might discover that some things are both- sweet enough to disarm and lethal enough to end everything. This is a DunkJoong ff. It's a Bakery Owner X Mafia Boss trope. It will have mature content. Read at your risk. Constructive criticism is accepted. Outright hate comments will be deleted.

Perth's eyes were dark, wounded. "So what?" he asked bitterly. "Should I get drunk too? Go kiss someone else and come home pretending it meant nothing?" Santa shook his head frantically, tears falling faster now. "No... please, no. I'm sorry, Phi Perth. I didn't mean to. I love you. I can't... I can't be without you." Perth laughed once, sharp and broken. "Ta," Perth said, his voice low. "Was it only Pond?" Santa's breath caught. "...What?" "When you were drunk," Perth continued, every word tearing him apart. "Was it only him? Or were there more?" Santa went completely still. "I didn't-" he started, but was cut off. Perth's voice broke. "Did you go further?" he whispered. "Were they... better than me?" Santa stared at him like the question had stabbed straight through his heart. "No," he cried, shaking his head violently. "Never. I swear. I've never been with anyone else. Only you. Phi Perth, please believe me." He broke down completely then, his hands covering his face. "I'm sorry," Santa sobbed. "I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you." Perth stood there, watching the person he loved most fall apart because of his words... because he broke his silence. *** Was it really a drunken mistake? Even if Perth forgives him, will their relationship go back to what it used to be? What if Santa regrets begging Perth to stay because it starts suffocating him to the point he wants to die to end it all at once?

Prescribed Distance Joong doesn't want recovery. He wants quiet-an end to the noise that never leaves his head. After an overdose that almost kills him, he's sent to rehab- not out of concern, but necessity. Dr. Dunk has seen cases like this before. Patients who resist. Patients who break. Patients who don't try. But Joong isn't just another name on a file. He's guarded. Volatile. Carrying something heavier than addiction. And the more Dunk tries to keep his distance, the more he realizes- some people don't need to be saved. They need someone who will stay long enough for them to choose to live.

Sky is a man who never believed he was meant to be loved, carrying a life shaped by silence, control, and wounds he never spoke about. Nani, warm, expressive, and quietly strong, walks into his life unexpectedly... bringing noise, color, and a kind of care Sky never asked for but slowly begins to need. Their marriage wasn't planned. It wasn't chosen. And it definitely wasn't built on love. But somewhere between shared meals, unspoken understanding, and small moments that feel too real to ignore... Something begins to grow. Not love at first sight. Not even close. Just two hearts, bound by fate... learning that some love doesn't rush-it waits.

To the world, Sky is feared, untouchable, and carved from violence. To Nani, he is nothing but a prison in human form. Cold silences replace vows. Distance replaces love. And hatred becomes the only thing keeping Nani from breaking in a world he never chose. But something doesn't feel right. Sky never forces him. Never crosses the lines Nani sets. Never becomes the monster everyone claims he is. Instead, he watches. Protects. Waits. And as danger closes in - betrayal, bloodshed, and enemies rising from every corner - Nani begins to question everything he thought he knew. Because when Sky's life is threatened... Nani is forced to decide: Is he still a prisoner of this marriage... or has he already become someone willing to burn the world just to keep his husband alive? In a world built on violence and secrets, love doesn't bloom gently. It survives in silence... and grows in scars. --- Themes: Forced Marriage → Slow Burn Love Hate → Understanding → Devotion Soft Love in a Violent World --- Content Warnings: ⚠️ 18+ / Mature Mafia Violence (guns, blood, death) Kidnapping & threats --- Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

When Joong suddenly becomes guardian to his newborn nephew, everyone says a single man can't raise a baby alone. Desperate and heartbroken, he turns to the one person he once loved-Dunk. To protect the child, Dunk does the unthinkable: He marries Joong. What begins as a marriage of convenience slowly turns into soft midnight feedings, quiet touches, shared smiles... and feelings they thought were gone forever. A tiny baby brought them together. Love will make them stay.

Dunk didn't think heartbreak could get worse. But after his boyfriend cheated and his father forced him into a marriage with a cold, silent man he barely knew - he stopped believing in love altogether. Now married to Joong, a man who says nothing but remembers everything, Dunk finds himself stuck in a life he didn't choose. But the quiet gestures, the soft glances, the way Joong never walks away... slowly begins to shake the walls he built. At the same wedding, Phuwin, Dunk's best friend, meets someone again - someone he'd only brushed past once in a crowded club, but hadn't forgotten since. Pond - Joong's enigmatic cousin, all smiles and mystery - remembers him too. And this time, he's not walking away so easily. Two couples. One arranged by fate. One drawn together by it. A story of silence, healing, attraction, and love that blooms in the most unexpected ways.

(my version) Dunk Natachai, 23, is a sunshine-hearted disaster of a final-year student-too loud, too emotional, too messy for his own good. His life is already chaos when he crashes into a stranger in a black suit and ruins his entire assignment. The stranger doesn't apologize. Doesn't blink. Doesn't even pause. Dunk curses him for days... until he walks into his new internship and finds that same man sitting at the top of the biggest company in the city- Joong Archen, 33. CEO. Brilliant. Untouchable. And once married... until tragedy turned his heart to stone. Years ago, Joong lost the only person he ever loved in a fire he couldn't reach in time. Since then, he's built walls no one can climb, choosing silence over connection, cruelty over vulnerability. And then Dunk appears-messy, bright, talkative, alive-everything Joong swore he would never let near him again. Joong should ignore him. He should push him away. He should pretend he feels nothing. Instead, he personally selects Dunk to work under him. What begins as irritation turns into obsession neither of them understands. Dunk, who fills every room with warmth, slowly breaks under Joong's cold indifference. Joong, who has forgotten what it means to feel, finds himself watching Dunk too closely, protecting him too quietly, wanting him too deeply. But jealousy burns. Trauma wounds. And fate is cruel. A panic attack in a trapped elevator. A confession made in anger. A sick day that cracks a frozen heart open. A fire that almost repeats the tragedy Joong spent years trying to forget. When Dunk's life hangs by a thread, Joong finally breaks- "I couldn't save him... I can't lose you too." A slow-burn Thai BL romance filled with raw emotion, heartbreak, healing, and the impossible love between a man who stopped believing in tomorrow and the intern who accidentally taught him how to live again.

Dunk believed mates were meant to protect each other. Until the day his destined alpha rejected him in front of everyone. Heartbroken and humiliated, Dunk decides to live without love. But the moment Dunk starts healing, the alpha returns-jealous, desperate, and ready to claim what he threw away.
