"In another world, we might have met at the right time... but this isn't that world." In Between the Lines, two strangers from vastly different realities keep crossing paths-as if fate is rewriting the rules. Every encounter feels familiar, every glance loaded with something they can't name, as though they've already lived this story somewhere else. But in this universe, their lives are divided by power, danger, and choices that could tear them apart. As truths unravel, they begin to question everything-Is their bond just coincidence, or proof that some souls are destined to find each other in every world? Between tangled loyalties, hidden scars, and the shadows of parallel lives, they must decide if love is worth risking not just this reality... but all of them. - a JoongDunk Au Finished: 09/15/2025

The King of Rajgarh, His Majesty Joong Archen Aydin, is feared and worshipped. A war hero. A ruler with no scandal... until he's forced to marry to secure his throne. But the groom chosen for him? Dunk Natachai Boonprasert. A sharp-tongued socialite with zero filter, zero shame, and one secret mission: destroy the royal family from within for what they did to his father. Too bad Dunk didn't plan on actually liking the dangerously hot king he was supposed to seduce and betray. And too bad the king has a thing for mouthy husbands.

This is a story about two boys who never chose to be family... but fate tied their lives together anyway. Dunk - the older one - grew up too fast, learned to hide his pain behind power, money and silence. Joong - the younger one - ran away from truth, from emotions, from everything that broke his heart. They loved each other in different ways... and hated themselves for those feelings. Years passed. The world changed. But the string between them never broke. Life took everything from them - parents, peace, childhood innocence - and yet destiny kept pushing them together again and again. This is not just a romance. This is a story of pain, denial, loss... rediscovering love, fighting fear... and finally choosing each other. Two stepbrothers. One forbidden love. One destiny. And in the end, they do not just become lovers. They build a family. A home. A forever.

In a university filled with ambition, rivalry, and hidden emotions, Dunk and Joong-once high school enemies-find themselves constantly clashing over grades, sports, and old grudges. Dunk, strong yet haunted by a tragic past and lingering panic attacks, meets Joong, a cold and wealthy perfectionist who only shows warmth to those close to him. Their constant teasing, arguments, and moments of jealousy slowly give way to unexpected care, and a single, desperate act during a panic attack changes everything. From bitter enemies to reluctant allies, their relationship slowly evolves into a passionate, possessive, and deeply emotional romance neither can resist.

Joong Archen Aydin had everything. Fame, fortune, and the world at his feet. But when one reckless mistake ruins it all. He was exiled to a quiet mountain village, stripped of everything that once made him untouchable. And then there's Dunk Natachai. The silent boy who doesn't care who Joong is. The boy who looks at him without fear, without awe, like he sees straight through the chaos. Joong should hate it. Instead, he craves it. The more Dunk pulls away, the deeper Joong falls. What started as punishment soon becomes obsession... and Joong isn't sure he ever wants to escape. --- Ig: dunkdynastyyy A small credit goes to my friends who helped me with the storyline and editing cover.
