At an elite university in Bangkok, where reputation is everything and ranking means survival, two names are always spoken in the same breath-Freen Sarocha and Rebecca Patricia Armstrong. Top of the class. Flawless. Unbeatable. And absolute rivals. Their competition is legendary-sharp words in lecture halls, calculated pranks, stolen victories by fractions of a mark. To everyone else, it's entertaining. To them, it's war. But away from the noise, hidden in the quiet stillness of the university library, lies something neither of them planned. Inside the pages of a well-worn novel, notes begin to appear. Signed only as "F" and "B," what starts as a passing reply turns into something deeper-late-night confessions, teasing conversations, truths they've never said out loud. In ink, they are softer. Braver. Real. They fall-slowly, helplessly-for someone they've never seen. Until one day, the margins lead them face to face. And everything unravels. Because the person who understands them the most... is the same person they've been trying to outdo, outsmart, and outrun. Now, caught between pride and something far more dangerous, their rivalry shifts into something neither of them can control- glances that linger too long, jealousy that burns too fast, and moments that feel far too close to be just hate. In a story where love is written between the lines, Freen and Becky must decide- Is it easier to keep fighting each other... or finally admit they were never just rivals to begin with?

In a city that never truly sleeps, the night belongs to something older than fear-and far more seductive. Freen Sarocha rules from the shadows: elegant, ruthless, and utterly untouchable. Whispers call her a myth. A monster. A queen with no pulse and no mercy. Becky Armstrong was never meant to get close enough to find out which is true. She was sent to kill. Instead, she lingers. Because something about Freen is wrong. The way her presence lingers under Becky's skin. The way danger starts to feel like desire. The way every step closer feels like crossing a line she won't come back from. And in a world of blood-soaked alliances, silent wars, and predators dressed in silk, getting too close to the wrong person doesn't just risk your life- It changes you. Irrevocably. Now, with the city tightening its grip and something dark awakening between them, Becky faces a choice she doesn't understand... Run from the monster- or let it ruin her completely.

Description In the neon pulse of Bangkok's midnight, billionaire Freen Sarocha Chankimha lives a life of precision and control - perfect on the surface, fractured underneath. When she meets Rebecca "Becky" Armstrong, a young journalist with fire in her voice and empathy in her eyes, the encounter awakens desires Freen buried beneath layers of discipline and denial. But passion becomes peril when control turns into obsession and tenderness masks power. Beneath the glimmer of wealth and secrets, two women collide in a dance of dominance and surrender - confronting not just each other's bodies, but the ghosts that haunt their hearts.

At Thailand's most elite medical institute, everyone fears Freen Sarocha Chankimha-rich, brilliant, violent, and one fight away from expulsion. Becky Patricia Armstrong is a quiet first-year student who just wants to survive orientation week, not get noticed by the most dangerous girl on campus. But after a brutal brawl on the football field, Freen sees Becky in the crowd... and chooses to stay-for her. In front of the whole campus, Freen claims Becky with one sentence: "She's mine." What begins as control turns into obsession. What begins as attraction becomes addiction. And when Becky is forced to choose between her family's honor and Freen's love, Freen doesn't beg. She demands.

At St. Rose Academy, money isn't just power-it's law. Four wealthy heiresses, known as Q4, rule the campus with charm and cruelty. No one defies them. No one ever dares-until Freen Sarocha, a poor transfer student with too much pride and a stubborn sense of justice, refuses to kneel. Her defiance catches the attention of Becky Armstrong, Q4's cold‑eyed leader whose world has never known resistance or rejection. Their clash ignites a storm of obsession, jealousy, and temptation that spreads across every circle of privilege. In this academy where affection is forbidden and feeling is weakness, love itself becomes the ultimate sin. Genre: Dark GL Romance | College Empire Drama | Enemies to Lovers | Jealousy | Power | Obsession | Humor Setting: Elite private university in Bangkok, owned and ruled by wealth, politics, and powerful families-until one fearless scholarship girl crashes their golden world

One year. That's how long Freen Sarocha Chankimha is willing to cage the stranger who once crossed her path on the worst night of her life. In Bangkok's glittering underworld of riverfront towers and private sky bars, Freen has turned her family name into a weapon. Polished clubs, luxury deals, and quiet violence all move at her command. She is feared, obeyed, and-most importantly-never surprised. Until a familiar face appears in her city. Rebecca "Becky" Armstrong is a Thai‑British designer who swears she's only in Bangkok to work, to visit, to breathe. She has a boyfriend, a plan, and a restless ache she can't quite name. The last thing she expects is to catch the attention of a woman whose world is built on power, loyalty, and blood. Freen has been waiting. Watching. Choosing her moment. When Becky steps into the wrong place at the wrong time, Freen's answer is as simple as it is unforgivable: she doesn't let her walk back out. A locked penthouse, a city full of enemies, and a single offer that sounds less like protection and more like a sentence-one year by Freen's side, under Freen's rules. No one calls it love. Not at first. Set against the neon haze and hidden alleys of Bangkok, One Year to Be Yours is a dark GL mafia romance about obsession, control, and the dangerous comfort of a beautiful cage. As lines blur between captor and protector, Freen and Becky must confront a single, impossible question: when the year is over, will freedom still feel like something either of them wants?

Every summer, Becky Patricia Armstrong returned to the forest. And every summer, Freen Sarocha Chankimha was waiting. There was only one rule: If they touched, Freen would disappear. But some loves are worth the risk - even if they only last until the fireflies fade. ⚠️ Disclaimer This story is inspired by Hotarubi no Mori e. I do not own the original concept.

In a mansion built on silence and rules, every step echoes differently when she arrives. Becky-sunlight wrapped in defiance-doesn't understand what her presence disrupts. Doesn't understand what she awakens in someone who has spent a lifetime mastering control. By day, Freen Sarocha Chankimha is untouchable- the flawless Student Council President of St. Rosalie Academy. Admired. Feared. Unreachable. By night, she is simply the daughter of a perfect family. Until Becky becomes her step-sister. At school, Freen watches her from across hallways lined with whispers and expectation. At home, she feels her in every silence. Becky doesn't obey the rules of distance. She steps too close. Looks too long. Speaks like Freen is human-not untouchable. And that is the most dangerous thing of all. Because this isn't love. It's restraint wearing thin. Possession hidden behind composure. Obsession contained in quiet glances and controlled breathing. Freen was never meant to want anyone. But Becky was never meant to belong anywhere else. And in a world built on control- She belongs to her.

High in the mountains, where mist never fully lifts and secrets never truly die, stands Crimson College. To the world, it is a place for the gifted and the privileged. To Freen Sarocha, it is a place she swore she would never return to. Cold. Powerful. Untouchable. Freen is more than just a trustee of the college-she is someone with a past buried in centuries of silence. Then Becky arrives. An orphaned scholarship student with quiet strength and unfamiliar eyes that feel... hauntingly familiar. From the moment she steps into Crimson College, strange things begin to happen. Accidents. Shadows. Whispers in the dark. And Freen starts losing control. She keeps her distance. She hides behind cruelty. She refuses to explain. Yet she watches over Becky from the shadows, protecting her from dangers Becky doesn't even know exist. Because some secrets are too deadly to reveal. Some love stories are written in blood. And some destinies refuse to be forgotten. At Crimson College, love is not safe. But it is inevitable.

In a world where power is normal but feelings are not, the three Chankimha sisters have built an empire so stable that nothing threatens it-except love itself. ​ Raised to lead, not to be vulnerable, Engfa, Namtan, and Freen know how to control markets, manage crises, and protect their family name, but none of them knows how to handle a racing heartbeat or an unexpected attachment. Their perfectly balanced world shifts when three very different women walk into their lives and refuse to treat them like untouchable queens. ​ Freen, the cold and hyper-controlled youngest CEO, meets Becky, a fearless outsider who argues with her in boardrooms, steals her chair, and refuses to be impressed by her last name. Namtan, the dramatic chaos-bringer of the family, finds herself falling far too fast for Film, the calm woman who sees through every joke she makes. And Engfa, the quiet protector, discovers a rare sense of home in Charlotte, someone who understands her silences better than most people's words. ​ Between office wars, sarcastic banter, sister interference, accidental intimacy, and slow, confusing jealousy, the Chankimha mansion shifts from a place of pure power to a house full of laughter, arguments, and late-night confessions. This is not a story about losing the empire-it's about three powerful women learning that the one thing more terrifying than responsibility is letting themselves actually fall in love. From the author: This story is my love letter to GL, to chaotic family dramas, and to every reader who wants romance that makes you laugh, ache, and scream at your screen-all without losing the warmth of a strong, non-toxic family at its core.
