"You think this is just a game, Phuwin?" Pond's voice was smooth, but his eyes burned with something darker, something dangerous. "What else would it be?" Phuwin scoffed, trying to ignore the way his pulse quickened. Pond leaned in, his smirk sharp as a blade. "Oh, love... I don't play games when it comes to what's mine."

• "If you're here to kill me, do it. If you're here to ask me why I lied... I'll need forever to explain."----( Pond ) • "I looked at my best friend and saw a stranger. I looked at the monsters and saw a family. My whole world turned upside down in that alley."----( Phuwin) • "My assignment was to get close to you, to learn all your secrets. The one thing I never planned for was... you becoming mine." ---- (pond) In a modern city where ancient predators walk disguised as neighbors, one coven has found peace. Pond and his vampire family-the protective elders Tay and New, devoted couples JoongDunk and GeminiFourth-have built a quiet life, hiding in plain sight for decades. But their fragile peace shatters when retired special forces hunter Faifa moves to town. Armed with advanced technology and a personal vendetta, he represents everything they've feared. Their only advantage? His son, Phuwin. As Faifa closes in, Pond must balance protecting his family with protecting the human he was never supposed to love. And Phuwin must choose between the father who raised him and the truth staring him in the face. In this game of predator and protector, the most dangerous weapon isn't a silver stake or a resonance scanner-it's the heart that beats where it shouldn't. Love doesn't check for a pulse before it strikes.

Five years. From the first spark of a partnership on set to the quiet certainty of forever, their story unfolds in laughter, banter, and battles weathered side by side. Between the weight of the stage lights and the hush of late-night confessions, they learn that love isn't about who stands ahead, but about never letting go. A journey of beginnings, storms, tenderness, and the intimacy of choosing each other, always, with you.

Since childhood, Pond and Phuwin had been sworn enemies. While their parents-college best friends who built their lives side by side-dreamed of their sons growing up just as close, reality turned out completely different. Pond was loud, confident, and always ready to challenge the world. Phuwin was calm, sharp-tongued, and quietly competitive. Every family gathering turned into a battlefield-grades, sports, talents, even who their parents praised more. They fought over everything. They refused to sit beside each other. They promised never to like each other. But growing up changes more than just height. In high school, their rivalry deepens-academic competitions, shared friend circles, accidental touches, heated arguments that last a little too long. The tension between them starts to feel different. Less hatred. More awareness. More stolen glances. More heartbeats that don't make sense. What happens when the person you compete with becomes the only one who understands you? What happens when years of arguing turn into late-night conversations? As pride slowly cracks and misunderstandings unfold, Pond and Phuwin are forced to confront a truth neither of them is ready to admit-maybe they were never just enemies. Maybe they were always meant to find each other through the chaos. From rivalry to longing. From annoyance to protection. From enemies... to something far deeper. Because sometimes, love doesn't begin with sweetness. Sometimes, it begins with a fight. ❤️

One family hides their love, while the other celebrates it, creating tension, secrets, and devotion. Pond and Phuwin's love is their greatest secret, but with family pressures mounting, how long can they keep it hidden?

They called it chemistry. The cameras loved it. But somewhere between takes, teasing turned tender and neither of them called cut.

"Who would you want to see... if it were your last fifty minutes?" Not every goodbye is quiet. And not every minute is meaningless.

"Thirty is coming. So is the question they never answered. One promise. One year. One chance to choose." At twenty-two, it was supposed to be a joke. A half-laugh, a careless promise made on an ordinary night: If we're still single at thirty, we'll try. No rules. No pressure. No expectations. They never spoke of it again. Seven years later, Pond and Phuwin are adults in every way that matters-steady jobs, separate lives, carefully built routines. They are still best friends. Still each other's constant. Still the first person the other thinks of, even when they pretend not to. When circumstances force them back into the same space, old familiarity turns dangerous. Shared mornings feel too intimate. Soft touches linger too long. Conversations circle around everything they refuse to name. And somewhere between now and thirty, the promise resurfaces-not as a joke, but as a question neither of them knows how to answer. Because this isn't about falling in love. It's about admitting they already did-and deciding whether they're brave enough to risk the one thing they've never lost. Set in the quiet tension of adulthood, Somewhere Before Forever is a slow-burn friends-to-lovers story about timing, restraint, and the kind of love that waits patiently... until it can't anymore.
