== AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION === . Johan : "Kau bisa membayar hutangmu lima ribu jika kau memelukku dan sepuluh ribu jika mencium ku. Dan untuk yang 'lainnya', aku akan menagih nya lain waktu sampai kau membayarku dengan penuh." North : "Aku tidak akan membayarmu sepeserpun!!! Apa kau gila? Bagaimana bisa kau mengatakan aku berhutang padamu ratusan ribu?!" Johan : "Kalau begitu, jadilah pacarku, maka aku akan memaafkanmu dengan cuma-cuma."

"You want to talk about abuse of authority?" he said in a voice so low and calm it sent a cold shiver down my spine. He stood, walking slowly around the desk, his eyes fixed on me the way a lion might look at a deer that just wandered too close. "Real abuse of authority, North," he said, now barely a breath away, "would be me bending you over this desk and taking you right here, right now." My jaw dropped. "Excuse me!?" I choked, scandalized _________ North had harbored a deep-seated resentment toward Johan ever since they were children. From the earliest days, Johan took a peculiar pleasure in pushing North's buttons, expertly navigating every opportunity to get under his skin and provoke a reaction. Their relationship was a complex dance of antagonism, with Johan's smug confidence clashing relentlessly against North's guarded demeanor. Curious about the twists and turns that define their fraught dynamic? Dive in and discover the full story of their tumultuous, often combustible connection - a tale filled with rivalry, unexpected emotions, and the fine line between hatred and something far more complicated.

In college, Johan and North were known for their cold rivalry, their cutting words as sharp as the scalpels they trained to wield. But under the tension burned something hotter-something primal. They became secret fuckbuddies: no strings attached, no promises, just stolen nights and raw release. Johan fell first-but he never confessed. And then, he left. Sent abroad for medical training, Johan disappeared without a word. North assumed he was just another notch on Johan's bedpost-just another body Johan left behind. He moved on. Or so he told himself. Years later, Johan is a top-tier surgeon, a department head at Bangkok's most prestigious private hospital-a hospital owned by his family. He works alongside his closest friends, who also happen to be brilliant doctors in love. His world is polished, controlled, successful. Until the hospital welcomes a new doctor. Dr. North. Still devastatingly attractive. Still impossible to ignore. And this time, he's not a student. He's a colleague. When their eyes meet again in the hospital lobby, everything tightens-Johan's chest, North's fists, the silence between them. They both swore that what happened in college was just physical. A phase. A mistake. But within a week, Johan is already dragging North into on-call rooms and behind operating theatres, where white coats fall and mouths stay quiet. Old habits die hard. Lust is harder to kill. But in a place where reputations are everything, and everyone's watching, can they really keep this up? Or worse... what if they can't stop?

"Break up with your girlfriend..." North shivered when he heard Johan's baritone voice right next to his ear. It was commanding, powerful, and full of conviction-like anything he said had to be obeyed. North closed his eyes and tilted his head back when he felt Johan's lips press against his neck. He gripped the armrest of the gaming chair as he adjusted his position on Johan's lap. A moan escaped him when Johan sucked on a spot on his neck that would definitely leave a mark. "Yes..." he whimpered. "Yes?" Johan let out a soft chuckle. "Oh, baby, I'm not asking you to break up with her. I'm telling you to." He smirked as he sank his teeth into North's neck, making the younger moan even louder.
