A lost town, forbidden magic, secrets and a love story that refuses to vanish with time.

Daou thought his biggest problem was surviving corporate life at NOVA SPACE Properties until his roommate moved out and Bangkok rent started personally attacking his bank account. Offroad thought his biggest problem was his leaking apartment ceiling, impossible architecture deadlines, and emotionally recovering from work every day. According to Mixx, the obvious solution was making them move in together. Now what was supposed to be a temporary and financially responsible arrangement has slowly turned into shared routines, late-night conversations, movie nights, domestic arguments over kitchen organization, and a level of comfort neither of them fully understands yet. Surrounded by chaotic coworkers, intrusive friends, accidental jealousy, and one extremely entertained friend group, Daou and Offroad are beginning to realize that living together might have been the best and most dangerous idea Mixx has ever had.

After three years together, Offroad walked away, leaving Daou a broken piece. But Offroad came back-persistent, familiar, and saying all the things Daou once longed to hear. But something is different. There's a weight in his gaze, a hesitation in his touch, as if he's chasing time he won't acknowledge. He's careful with his words, leaving spaces where the truth should be. He wants Daou back. He needs him back. But some stories don't come with second chances-only unfinished endings waiting to be written before the last fireworks fades away.
