Dunk: I married him because I loved him. I paid his debts, I raised his daughter, and I hid my heart because I knew he could never love me back. Joong: I married him because I had nothing left. I let him save us, but every day I live in fear that he will wake up and realize a broken, struggling single dad is not worth his time. Two men. One abandoned little girl. A marriage built on desperation, wealth, and the heaviest secret of all: a fifteen-year unrequited love that is dangerously close to breaking them both.

CALL ME LADY Dunk Natachai has a simple life. A tiny house with his mother. Paint under his fingernails. Fresh cakes in the oven. Handmade jewelry on his desk. And enough stray cats outside his window to make him question whether he actually owns the house. He likes his quiet life. Until "Laila Archen Aydin" finds him. Laila is twenty-four, the youngest daughter of the powerful Aydin family-and she has been living abroad for years. No interviews. No public appearances. No recent photographs. Only old childhood pictures and a few teenage memories remain of her. But Laila hasn't simply been away. She disappeared on purpose. She's been secretly investigating her own family, trying to uncover what happened inside the Ayden Household. And now she needs Dunk. Because Dunk's father died years ago. Officially, it was an accident. Dunk has always believed it. Until Laila tells him otherwise. His father's death may be connected to the Aydin family. And Laila has been searching for the truth. So when she asks Dunk to take her place, he agrees. There is just one tiny problem. "Dunk is a man." A very pretty man. Now he has to return to the country as Laila Archen Aydin, the daughter who has finally come home to claim her place beside her older half-brother, Joong Archen Aydin" for The Ayden Heir Inheritance Ceremony The Ayden Heir Inheritance Ceremony is an old private tradition held whenever the next generation of heirs formally comes into their position. It isn't simply a celebration. It is the moment the Ayden family publicly acknowledges: These are the people who will inherit the Ayden name, wealth, companies and influence. And that's why Joong and Laila must be present. Nobody has seen the adult Laila closely enough to know what she looks like now. Which means Dunk has a chance. A very small chance. Because pretending to be a wealthy heiress is one thing. Surviving her family is another. And surviving Joong? That might be impossible.

Silk and Secrets JoongDunk AU Dunk serves the powerful Archen family with perfect loyalty. Calm. Efficient. Untouchable. But everything begins to change the moment someone else decides they want him.

TITLE: GOLDEN CAGE STORY DESCRIPTION: Dunk Natachai was born into wealth, power, and silence. From the outside, his life looks perfect-expensive clothes, guarded mansions, elite education, and a family name that opens every door. But inside his home, every step he takes is controlled, every mistake punished, and every desire rewritten into obedience. Freedom is something Dunk has never truly known. Everything changes the night he meets Joong Archen. Joong lives on the opposite side of Dunk's world-uncontrolled, unpredictable, and dangerously free. He and his circle do whatever they want, fear no authority, and answer to no one. To Dunk, they are everything he has been denied: laughter without permission, choices without consequences, and life without chains. Drawn like a moth to fire, Dunk begins following Joong and his friends in secret. What starts as curiosity slowly turns into addiction... and then into something far more dangerous-love. For the first time, Dunk starts living instead of obeying. But freedom always comes with a price. When Dunk's father discovers the connection, he gives him an impossible choice: - Leave Joong and ensure their safety OR - Stay with Joong and watch everything he loves be destroyed piece by piece Now Dunk is trapped between two worlds-one that owns his blood, and one that owns his heart. And Joong, who has never belonged to anyone... might be the first person Dunk is willing to lose everything for.

When Dunk Natchaï walked away from Joong Archen Aydin, he believed he was doing the right thing. The breakup was quiet but final-no shouting, no blame, just a polite farewell to a love he thought was never meant to last. What Joong didn't know was that behind Dunk's calm goodbye lay a secret-a threat from Joong's own mother, and a growing life that neither of them expected. Now, years later, fate begins to weave them together again... Will the truth finally come to light, or will love once lost remain buried beneath silence and sacrifice?

Battle Hearts This Military x Doctor AU was inspired by one of my wonderful readers, Lezza. 💛 I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I loved creating it. Joong and Dunk have been married for years-a quiet, steady kind of love built on routines, inside jokes, late-night dinners, and knowing each other better than anyone else. Their marriage isn't perfect. It's real. Joong serves in the military. Dunk is a doctor. Both have dedicated their lives to helping others, but their jobs come with sacrifices neither of them can control. When Joong receives orders for a high-risk deployment, their world changes overnight. Six months. No communication. No promises except the hope of coming home. As distance grows and uncertainty settles in, both men are forced to face fears they've spent years avoiding. Because sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought on the front lines. Sometimes they're fought in silence. In waiting. In loving someone when every day comes with the possibility of loss. Battle Hearts is a story about love, sacrifice, resilience, and the people who keep choosing each other even when life makes it difficult. Not because love is perfect. But because some people are worth fighting for.

🌹🗝️ Dating Is Easy When You're the Only Option A dark romantic comedy of obsession, isolation, and very inconvenient feelings. Joong doesn't believe in love. At least, not the kind that lasts. He's witty, bitter, and perpetually three emotional breakdowns from deleting all his dating apps. So when he jokingly writes in his profile, "Just kidnap me already. I'm tired." he thinks he's being sarcastic. Dunk doesn't do sarcasm. He does plans. Blueprints. Strategies. Eternal, undying devotion. When he matches with Joong, it's not a swipe-it's a promise. One candlelit date and a spiked glass of wine later, Joong wakes up in a secluded villa, tucked in velvet sheets, with his new boyfriend smiling sweetly at him from the doorway. "You said you wanted to stop looking. So I made sure you wouldn't have to." There's no signal. No Wi-Fi. No exit. Only gourmet meals, endless compliments, and a boyfriend who quotes Joong's tweets back to him from memory. As days melt into nights, Joong can't decide what's worse: being trapped by a psycho... or realizing he kind of, maybe, likes it.

Dunk is the definition of gentle - soft-spoken, polite, hardworking, and painfully innocent. A scholarship med student juggling two jobs, he still brings soup to his mum after every shift. She's all he has. His whole world. When she suddenly collapses and needs emergency surgery, Dunk's life shatters. The cost is impossible. The hospital refuses to move without payment. No savings. No family. No time. And that's when Joong walks in. Joong - the city's most feared mafia heir. Cold. Ruthless. Emotionless. Except the moment he sees Dunk... something snaps. An obsession. Fierce. Immediate. Consuming. Dunk knows none of this. He only hears Joong's offer: "I'll pay everything - the surgery, treatment, private hospital. No limits. No debt. In return... you belong to me." Joong doesn't want money, favors, or work. He wants Dunk - the sweet, innocent boy who has no idea how dangerous he is. Dunk is terrified. But he's also a son watching his mother slip away. He signs. And Joong's obsession begins. • Moves Dunk into his penthouse • Controls where he goes, who he talks to, how late he's out • Drives him to university every morning • Assigns a "driver" who is actually a bodyguard • Threatens anyone who raises their voice at Dunk • Attends every hospital appointment • Watches him study like prayer Dunk is too soft, too pure, too good for Joong's world - and that only makes Joong more possessive. Anyone who looks too long disappears. Anyone who flirts regrets it. Anyone who challenges Joong's claim pays for it. Dunk was supposed to hate him. But Joong is gentle with him in ways no one expects - quiet, protective, almost fragile when Dunk is near. Because Dunk isn't just Joong's obsession. He's the last piece of innocence Joong has left. And Joong will burn the entire city before he lets him go. This isn't a love story. It's the story of a sweet boy who needed help... and the mafia man who chose to own him, protect him, and love him - to the edge of

They went to Rome as friends. Joong kept his distance. Dunk tried to pretend nothing had changed. But it had. Between fanmeetings, stolen glances, jealous moments, and one too many silences, something started to break - and then burn.

Some people walk into your life by chance. Others leave without a goodbye. Dunk Natachai never wanted to be noticed. Quiet, shy, and hopelessly introverted, all he wished for on his first day at a new school was to blend into the background. But fate had other plans. The only empty seat in the classroom happened to be beside Joong Archen Aydin-the school's golden boy, adored by everyone, impossible to ignore. The more Dunk tried to keep his distance, the closer life kept pulling them together. What began as nothing more than two classmates slowly turned into an unbreakable friendship. Joong became the one person who could effortlessly bring Dunk out of his shell-the person who made school feel a little less lonely and the world a little less overwhelming. Then, one day... Joong was gone. No explanation. No goodbye. Not even a single message. Left behind with nothing but unanswered questions, Dunk convinced himself of the only explanation that made sense: Maybe I was never that important to him. Seven years later, fate brings them together once again. But time has changed everything. The cheerful, innocent boy Joong once knew has disappeared, carrying scars no one can see. And Joong has no idea what Dunk has endured during the years they spent apart. Some distances are measured in miles. Others are measured in silence, heartbreak, and everything left unsaid. Now that destiny has given them a second chance, will they find the courage to uncover the truth, heal old wounds, and rediscover what they once had... Or are some goodbyes meant to last forever?
