COMPLETE Phuwin, a charming and dedicated secretary, finds himself deeply in love with his boss, Pond, a successful CEO trapped in a loveless marriage. Despite knowing the risks, Phuwin becomes Pond's secret lover, leading them both down a path of hidden passion and emotional turmoil.

Final-year medical students Pond, Joong, and William have exactly three goals: survive their last year, graduate with whatever remains of their sanity, and avoid getting publicly humiliated by their professors. Unfortunately, the hospital has other plans. Enter Dr. Phuwin Tangsakyuen, the cardiothoracic fellow whose face should probably be classified as a workplace hazard. Alongside him are Dr. Dunk Natachai, who knows everyone's business before they do, and Dr. Est Supha, who runs on caffeine, surgical skill, and questionable decision-making. With two days in cardiothoracic surgery, two days in neonatal medicine, and two days in general surgery, the students are trapped in an endless cycle of rounds, lectures, surgeries, night shifts, and increasingly suspicious eye contact. Pond is definitely not staring at Dr. Phuwin. Joong definitely has his life under control. William definitely isn't babysitting two grown adults. Nobody is developing feelings. Nobody is making bad decisions. Nobody is one inconvenience away from a complete emotional breakdown. As friendships blur into something far more complicated, hospital gossip spreads faster than medical records, scents become impossible to ignore, and six people discover that medicine can explain a lot of things. Hearts, unfortunately, are not one of them.

He doesn't want to be seen. Phuwin Tangsakyuen returned to school after a year away, and the rumors returned with him. Trouble. Bad news. Someone to avoid. He's learned to keep his head down, his mouth shut, and his walls high. One semester. That's all he needs. Then he can disappear for good. He doesn't know how to look away. Pond Naravit is everything Phuwin isn't: popular, bright, the kind of person who collects friends without trying. So why can't he stop noticing the boy in the back of the classroom the one who never speaks, never stays, never lets anyone close? What starts as curiosity becomes something neither of them expected. A story about the spaces between people. About the courage it takes to reach out and the courage it takes to let someone in. About two boys from different worlds, learning that sometimes the person who sees you most clearly is the one you've been trying to hide from. Some walls are built for protection. Some are built for loneliness. And some are built to be climbed.

He was just a teacher-Pond Naravit, carrying responsibilities too big for his age, working to support his younger sister while trying to stay steady in a world that rarely gave him room to breathe. Phuwin Tangsakyuen was just a student. Reckless. Untamed. The kind of boy who slept through lectures, laughed at warnings, and lived like consequences belonged to someone else. Trouble followed him-but he never bothered to run from it. And then there was Pond. The teacher who should've stayed out of his way. But Phuwin didn't. He started flirting like it was a game he couldn't lose-smirks from the last bench, careless remarks in quiet classrooms, lingering looks that said too much and nothing at all. Bold enough to test boundaries, reckless enough to ignore them. Pond told himself it meant nothing.

"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.

Pond Naravit Lertratkosum is a self-made tech CEO-cold, commanding, emotionally shut off. Raised to believe queerness equals weakness, he built his empire by burying every part of himself that could feel. Now, his father threatens to take it all away-unless he agrees to one thing: marry a man. Phuwin Tangsakyuen is everything Pond was taught to despise-openly gay, elegant, and the biological son of two powerful fathers in a world where mpreg is completely natural. A fashion mogul in his own right, Phuwin once loved Pond silently, clinging to a fleeting moment of college kindness. So when the chance comes to marry him-even through a loveless contract-he says yes. Because maybe, the boy he once believed in still exists beneath all that ice. But what begins as a cold business arrangement quickly unravels into something messier. Resentment. Buried desire. Emotional scars. And a past that refuses to stay buried. But will Phuwin finally get the love, he's always ached for or will he have to watch the one thing he wanted most, burn him from the inside out? This is not a sweet romance. It's messy, raw and painfully human. 🔥 Slow-burn | Enemies to lovers | Arranged marriage | Mpreg AU ⚠️ Verbal/emotional abuse, internalized homophobia, heavy smuts, angst, mpreg. Reader discretion advised. 💫 Joong × Dunk and Gemini × Fourth appear as side couples-offering warmth (or more angst) and contrast to the chaos.

They say love is patient. Love is kind. But whatever Pond and Phuwin have? It's *neither.* Ever since they were kids, Pond and Phuwin have been each other's biggest headache. They bicker like it's a sport, glare like it's a habit, and compete in *everything.* So naturally... their families decide to force them into marriage. For tradition. For family business. For chaos. 😌 Now stuck in an engagement they never asked for, sharing space, showing up in public like a *"happy couple,"* and trying *very* hard not to kill each other, they both come to one horrifying realization: **This hate might not be hate at all.** And falling for your enemy? That was never part of the deal.

PondPhuwin | Dark Romance | Slowburn | Arranged Marriage | Black Flag × Black Flag | Obsession | Angst | 18+* In the glittering cage of Bangkok's elite, two heirs are forced into a marriage neither wants. Pond Naravit Lertratkosum - cold, calculating, the untouchable heir to an empire built on ruthless deals. He doesn't do love. He does control. Phuwin Tangsakyuen - sharp, unyielding, the quiet storm hiding behind perfect smiles. He doesn't beg. He breaks things that stand in his way. Their families merge fortunes to crush rivals and silence whispers of scandal. A contract is signed. A wedding is staged. And the rules are simple: - Keep up appearances. - Don't touch unless cameras are watching. - Never let it get personal. But rules shatter when obsession creeps in. Pond installs trackers "for security" and watches Phuwin's every move like a predator. Phuwin hacks the feeds and sends back proof he sees everything - including Pond's late-night secrets. Jealousy becomes a weapon: one brings home strangers to prove indifference, the other flirts in public just to watch the mask crack. They sabotage each other in boardrooms and bedrooms. Fake threats. Stolen sketches. Hidden photos. Bloody "rescues" that feel too real. Every fight ends with hands too close, breaths too shared, and words that cut deeper than knives. "I hate you," one whispers in the rain. "Good," the other replies. "Hate me harder." This isn't a love story. It's a war where surrender feels like victory, and possession is the only mercy they allow. Slow. Painful. Addictive. They won't back down. They'll burn each other first. **Warnings** ⚠️ - Extreme angst & emotional manipulation - Possessive/obsessive behavior (mutual) - Dark themes: psychological games, violence (not between mains), power imbalance - Intense smut (rough, consensual, delayed payoff) - Black-flag leads (no soft redemption arc) - 18+ only | Read at your own risk
