They met when they were fourteen. A mischievous boy and a calm golden boy who somehow changed his world. What started as teasing, shared chocolates, and quiet corridor glances slowly turned into something neither of them could escape. Years passed, promises were made, and their lives moved forward. But life has a strange way of rewriting love stories. When Pond and Phuwin meet again years later, something between them feels painfully familiar... yet distant at the same time. Because sometimes the heart remembers what the mind refuses to.

"He ruins reputations by morning, but speaks like a love song when he says my name." (Book Cover Updated)- At Laksara University, Pond is a name whispered with intrigue-tattoos, fast bikes, flunking classes he's too bored to attend, and a reputation for turning hearts into cautionary tales. He's the kind of boy who never apologizes, never explains, and never lets anyone get too close. Until Phuwin. Bright-eyed and endlessly sincere, Phuwin is the kind of student who greets security guards by name and brings extra snacks "just in case someone forgot." He's adored by professors, classmates, and even the stray cat that lives behind the chemistry lab. And somehow-*somehow*-he becomes the only person who makes Pond show up to class on time. They're not supposed to mix. Pond is late nights and bruised knuckles. Phuwin is Sunday mornings and library laughter. But when Pond's voice drops to something soft-*only* for Phuwin-and he starts looking at the world like it might be worth staying in... rumors fly, hearts race, and everything begins to unravel. This is a love story built between campus fights and quiet café corners. The kind where the bad boy doesn't change-he just chooses to be better when *he's with you.* ---

⚠️ DISCLAIMER This story contains mature themes, including bullying, emotional manipulation, toxic relationships, obsession, trauma, violence, and dark romance elements. Reader discretion is strongly advised. If you are sensitive to intense emotional content, dark psychology, or morally grey characters, please proceed with caution. This is a work of fiction meant for mature audiences only (18+). Ten years ago, Pond bullied the only boy he ever loved- and it broke Phuwin enough to make him disappear. Now Pond is powerful. Feared. A man who takes what he wants. And what he wants... is the boy he destroyed. But Phuwin isn't delicate anymore. He's a flame-sharp, dangerous, and ready to burn Pond alive. Let the game of love, obsession, and revenge begin.

Pond Naravit stopped believing in love after a heartbreak that left scars too deep to ignore. He built walls around his heart, determined never to let anyone in again. But when Phuwin Tangsakyuen-his mother's best friend's gentle and quiet son-returns from London to stay with his family, Pond's world begins to shift. Phuwin's kindness is disarming, his presence calm yet unshakable. What happens when a man who has lost faith in love meets someone who quietly teaches him how to believe again? #Pond Naravit #Phuwin Tangsakyuen #Pondphuwin

The economics department of Chulalongkorn University runs on caffeine and academic pressure, and yeah, everyone knows two things: Pond Naravit and Phuwin Tangsakyuen are incapable of existing peacefully, and neither of them knows how to lose. Whether it's grades, basketball, or academic pride, their rivalry burns through campus like wildfire. But somewhere between late-night study sessions, ruthless competition, and moments that linger a little too long, things begin shifting into something far more dangerous. Because beneath Pond's effortless confidence and teasing grin, Phuwin starts noticing cracks that nobody else seems to see. And no matter how many times he tells himself otherwise, he can't seem to look away. Somewhere between rivalry and obsession, Phuwin realizes Pond isn't nearly as untouchable as he pretends to be.
