He gave five years to someone who betrayed him. Fell for a stranger who was never his to love. Just when he thought his story was over... Life handed him a new beginning. Love wasn't the plan. Healing barely was. But sometimes, the people who save us aren't the ones we wait for. They're the ones we almost didn't meet. And sometimes, the ending you think you know... Is only the beginning of something unwritten. --- 📘 A soft, emotional BL story about grief, quiet love, and the people who walk into your life when you stop searching.

Perth had it al figured out; he'd just moved away from his hometown, started his dream job and was trying his best to build the best future possible for Domiia.

Alpha lawyer Perth's quiet life is upended when new neighbors move in - an omega with sharp, guarded eyes, and a young baby boy in tow. But there's something off about the way the omega watches him from across the street. Who's that mysterious alpha who keeps visiting? Why does the omega seem so wary of him? And why does Perth find himself so intrigued?

In a world divided by legacy and bloodlines, Santa, the golden boy of a revered family, is light incarnate-gentle, warm, beloved. Perth, raised in shadows with a lineage etched in cruelty, is everything Santa was warned against: calculating, cold, and untouchable. Their first meeting is not just a clash-it's war. A rivalry forged in family hatred and personal pride. As the chapters unfold, the two are forced into each other's worlds-one drenched in sunlight, the other cloaked in dusk. Enmity grows cruel, almost obsessive, until Santa tries to escape the toxicity. But once away from the safety of love and family, he learns that light does not protect; it only blinds. Perth, meanwhile, discovers that the sun he thought he wanted to burn out may be the only warmth he's ever craved. What starts as a mission to destroy the light turns into a reluctant obsession to possess it. But obsession and love are not the same-especially when pain has always been their language. Together, they navigate betrayal, legacies, power, and a bond that is too jagged to be called love-until it becomes something more dangerous: truth.

Perth plays guitar, sings like a sin, and walks around like he's above it all. I'm Santa - dancer, chaos incarnate, and unfortunately very into emotionally unavailable men with nice hands. He's the cold, untouchable rockstar of campus. I'm the loud, unbothered showstopper who never knows when to quit. This isn't a love story. It's a slow-burn collision. And I'm not walking away without leaving a mark.

[Kanghan x Gun] ''Are you sure you've done your research properly? What if this guy ends up being like, a serial killer or something? You'll be giving away your one and only precious son to a cold-blooded murderer.'' ''Gun, the fact that you're my only son would mean that I've picked out nothing but the best for you. Besides, his pôr and I know each other way back since our university days.'' Without even having to look, the male already knew that his son was pouting. ''Lukk, you know why I'm doing this. The government laws dictate that if you're not married by the age of 26, you won't be able to access the inheritance I've left for you should anything happen to me. If I leave it up to you, I doubt you'd find anyone to match your standards.'' ''Wow, there was absolutely no need to personally attack me like that.'' His father laughs loudly, raising the cup of tea to his lips. ''How many boyfriends have you had since university? Too many to count, but no one lasted more than a year.''

Perth, the enigmatic Crown Prince of the Shadow Kingdom, is known far and wide for his cold demeanor, sharp tongue, and aura of mystery. Feared by many and loved by none-he's accepted his fate as the heir who walks in darkness. Then there's Santa-a ray of sunshine from the neighboring Solaria Kingdom. Adorably clumsy, hopelessly cheerful, and always dressed in bright colors, he's a royal envoy sent to learn diplomacy...and ends up living in the same palace as Perth. Santa smiles at Perth. Perth glares. Santa bakes cookies. Perth scoffs-but secretly eats them all. Santa trips into Perth's arms. Perth pretends to be annoyed-but his heart races. Let the chaos (and sweetness) begin.

Santa Pongsakpak laughed like the world was endless. Perth Tanapon watched quietly, holding pieces of a heart he didn't know would break. They grew up together, chasing sunsets, until distance turned their smiles into memories. > "Some people leave quietly, but their absence echoes forever."

They met in dreams, where love was effortless. They searched in reality, where love was tested. Between distance, silence, and years apart destiny kept them waiting. He was Santa's dream. He became his distance. But in the end, he was his forever.
