- "Some flames you run from. Others you beg to burn you." Inspired by the haunting emotional tension of "Mind Games" ---{BOOK COVER UPDATED} At an elite academy carved into the mist-shrouded cliffs of Da Lat, every secret has a price-and every student is playing a game they can't afford to lose. Phuwin Tangsakyuen has rules. Cold. Unbending. Necessary. He's a legacy student at The Gracen Institute, where power is inherited and vulnerability is weaponized. But when Pond Naravit arrives-transfer case sealed, smile unreadable, aura laced with danger-Phuwin's system begins to fracture. Pond doesn't follow the rules. He doesn't flinch when threatened. And he sees through Phuwin's armor with unsettling precision. Their connection isn't love-it's obsession. It's manipulation. It's a slow descent into chaos disguised as intimacy. As twisted histories unravel and the stakes turn deadly, the line between control and surrender blurs. Is Pond here to ruin Phuwin? Or has Phuwin already become everything Pond ever wanted to claim? Because some games aren't played for fun. They're played for keeps. And even the moon? It burns for the ones who dare to love recklessly. ---

They were best friends - inseparable, safe, familiar. Until one confession changed everything. Pond is a boy who grew up believing love only ruins people. Phuwin is a boy who fell in love anyway. Between jealousy, storms, broken memories and silent tears, one runs while the other waits. But when feelings turn into wounds and distance becomes unbearable, they must decide: Will fear win? Or will love finally be braver than pain? A story about healing, heartbreak, and the quiet moments where hands meet and hearts almost confess.

Phuwin has loved Pond for years. Pond never saw him- not until they became roommates. Now every glance lingers, every touch burns, and the line between friendship and something dangerously deeper keeps getting thinner. Two best friends. One apartment. Years of unspoken love finally catching fire.

"You don't get to touch me like that. Not after what you did to me in the past." "Then why are you shaking?" "Because I haven't decided whether to slap you... or ride your face." Pond Naravit was the golden boy of high school - popular, charming, athletic... and heartless. He made sure everyone laughed at Phuwin, never once thinking about the damage he was causing. Back then, Phuwin was his easiest target. But people change. Phuwin Tangsakyuen returns a year later. No longer the quiet boy with oversized glasses and tear-filled eyes. He's confident now. Sharp. Cold. And he hasn't forgotten a thing. Now fate throws them back together at university, where Phuwin becomes the one holding power. The tables have turned, and revenge has never looked this calm, collected... and dangerously sexy. Pond doesn't even recognize him at first. But when he does? It's already too late. Then comes a challenge - a reckless bet, daring Pond to make Phuwin fall for him again. A game that blurs lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous. What starts as a twisted rivalry slowly becomes something more. Obsession. Guilt. Lust. And a haunting question Pond can't escape: "Can you love someone you once broke?" --- Bully romance, angst, and slow-burn redemption. High tension. Emotional scars. Enemies with benefits. Heavy smut will be here. 🔞🫶🏻 With side ships: JoongDunk & GeminiFourth bringing chaos, love, and loyalty. (Or maybe more angst) Some scars fade. Some burn forever. And some... turn into love.

Phuwin is impulsive, spoiled, and mood shifting, yet warm-hearted at his core. He is cherished deeply by his father, Dr. Ohm Tangsakyuen. When junior doctor Pond Naravit joins the hospital, he never expects to be drawn to the owner's unpredictable son. Their easy friendship deepens into something neither of them planned. But as Pond gets closer, he uncovers truths about Phuwin's life, and realises that loving him means stepping into a world protected for years. After everything he learns... will Pond ever see Phuwin the same? Some truths heal. Others destroy. Love decides which one this will be. Pond - Phuwin AU 🦋

Pond and Phuwin have been rivals since the first day of school-grades, attention, even oxygen. They hate each other so much, it's practically a full-time job. But when Pond moves into Phuwin's neighborhood and their moms-lifelong besties-discover the boys are classmates, everything spirals. Suddenly, they're forced to play nice. Fake friendship. Shared dinners. Coordinated tutoring sessions. And worst of all? Their moms think they're adorable together. Pond is the school's bad boy-motorbike, charm, and a trail of broken hearts. Phuwin is the academic menace-sharp-tongued, caffeine-fueled, and secretly unbothered by Pond's theatrics. They clash like fire and sarcasm. But when someone else tries to hurt Phuwin, Pond's fury is instant. And when Phuwin sees Pond vulnerable-really vulnerable-something shifts. Enemies to lovers? More like enemies to "I hate you so much I'd die for you."

The lives of Pond and Phuwin are marked by deep familial bonds and unspoken desires. As Pond grapples with the responsibilities of family and business, he finds himself yearning for the attention of some true love. "I feel so lost and empty inside."
