"I never wanted to be your enemy, Pond. I just wanted to be the person you could rest against. The one who made things easier." "Then why didn't you tell me? Why did you let it get this far?" "And maybe you shouldn't have doubted me before everything came down," Five years ago, Pond and Phuwin stood face to face-hearts full of unspoken feelings, just seconds away from something more. But before they could cross the line from friendship to love, Phuwin disappeared without a word, leaving Pond with silence... and a shattered heart. Now he's back. But they're no longer just two boys with a past-they're the center of a shocking arranged marriage neither of them saw coming. The air between them is heavier than ever-thick with tension, buried wounds, and feelings that never died. Can they survive the secrets, family pressure, and years of heartbreak long enough to find the truth? Or will their second chance slip through their fingers... just like the first? --- ⚠️ This story contains: Mpreg Heavy smut 🔞🫶🏻 Angst Slow-burn, high-stakes romance Side couples: Joong x Dunk & Gemini x Fourth 💬 This is my first story - thank you for reading & supporting! 🫶 #1- menlovemen 28/06/25, 11/08/25 #1- GeminiFourth 13/08/25 #8- b×b 06/07/25 #5-PondPhuwin 06/09/25

Pond X Phuwin Warning: An age-gap, dark romance exploring the twisted bond between art, control, and captivity.Stockholm Syndrome!! "Do you think I liked you just because you're good at drawing?"

Breathe only for me."

Every night at 12:05 AM, the messages come. He ignores them. But his body doesn't. The bruises. The whispers. The pleasure-felt but never given. Someone is trying to take him. Or maybe, he was never his to begin with.

⚠️ Trigger Warning This story contains things that may be triggering for some, including: Self-harm Suicidal ideations Grief Mentions of trauma and self harm scars Mental health struggles toxic family dynamics this story also includes m-preg 🤭 When Phuwin agrees to a marriage of convenience Pond Naravit, he knows exactly what he's trading: two years of his life, a child to secure the lineage, and the fragile promise that his parents would finally stop resenting him. What he doesn't expect is a husband who despises him, a girlfriend who refuses to leave the picture, and the suffocating weight of secrets that can't stay buried forever. To Pond, Phuwin is just a name on a contract necessary, replaceable, irrelevant. At least until the cracks begin to show. Until scars are revealed. Until irritation turns to guilt... And guilt becomes something far more dangerous.
