This story is inspired by Still with you by Jungkook. "Though our footsteps may be out of step, I still want to walk this path with you." Three years ago, a single misunderstood conversation and a dead phone battery during a violent Bangkok storm tore Pond and Phuwin apart. They didn't just break each other's hearts; they split their entire lives in half-right down to their pets, leaving Pond with Parker the dog and Phuwin with Hanabi the cat. Three years of silence. Three years of walking out of sync. Now, both are successful art majors working for the same prestigious creative agency. When a massive joint project forces them into the same office, the walls they spent years building begin to fracture. They try to act like cold, distant professionals, but the unspoken words between them are louder than thunder. From suffocating elevator rides to the burning sting of jealousy at a crowded restaurant, the universe refuses to let them forget. But when a mandatory work trip traps them together in a remote coastal cabin during a historic storm, the electricity goes out-and the alcohol comes out. With three years of repressed longing, tears, and rage finally exploding, will they find the courage to clear the fog of their past? Or are some footsteps meant to stay broken forever? Featuring: ✨ Pond and Phuwin ✨ Extreme Angst to Comfort / Slow Burn / Second Chance Romance. ✨ Workplace & Co-workers Trope ✨ Severe Misunderstanding & Yearning.

Six years ago, Pond lost contact with the boy he secretly loved. Now, Pond lives a quiet life running his café, while Phuwin has become a famous actor and singer whose life is far from peaceful. Phuwin doesn't know that the mysterious stranger who saved him that night was the same boy he left behind six years ago. When fate brings them together again, Pond becomes Phuwin's bodyguard. Some feelings fade with time. Others were never meant to.

THE DOLL In the Kingdom of Ruby, Prince Phuwin Tangsakyuen is nothing more than a beautiful doll-silent, obedient, and forgotten by his own family. But behind his delicate face hides a Pure Omega, a brilliant mind, and a strength no one knows exists. Then comes Pond Naravit, the powerful Crown Prince of Flame Kingdom. When their paths cross, the forgotten prince suddenly becomes the center of attention-and the perfect balance between two powerful kingdoms begins to crumble. He was raised to obey. Pond was raised to rule. But fate never asked either of them what they wanted.

In the cutthroat world of Thailand's most elite universities, the rivalry between the prestigious Naravit and Norawit families is as legendary as it is vicious. But when a chance encounter at a high-stakes gala pulls their heirs into a web of forbidden attraction, the line between competition and obsession begins to blur. For Pond and Phuwin, love is an exhilarating, volatile dance of dominance and rebellion. While Pond struggles to contain his impulsive, bratty possessiveness, Phuwin fights to keep his own ambitions alive, constantly forced to pull his lover back from the edge of catastrophe. Meanwhile, the ruthless Gemini Norawit finds his cold, calculating life upended by the sharp-tongued, spirited Fourth. What began as a game of intimidation and social sabotage spirals into a chaotic, messy, and all-consuming romance-one that threatens to incinerate the very legacies they were born to protect. As secrets unravel and the weight of their families' expectations presses down, the four of them must navigate a treacherous path where marriage is a cage, jealousy is a weapon, and one wrong move could cost them everything. Caught between the duty to their names and the hunger of their hearts, they are forced to decide: will they burn the world down to be together, or will their toxic rivalries finally consume them?

Phuwin Tangsakyuen is a spoiled, sharp-tongued university student who has everything except the freedom to choose his own future. His life turns upside down when his family announces that he has been arranged to marry Pond Naravit, a ruthless young CEO and the heir to a massive business empire. Pond and Phuwin already hate each other. They constantly clash, compete, and deliberately push each other's buttons. Pond thinks Phuwin is an entitled brat, while Phuwin thinks Pond is an emotionless control freak who needs to be humbled. But the marriage becomes unavoidable. Forced to live under the same roof, their endless arguments slowly turn into late-night conversations, stolen glances, jealousy, and moments neither of them knows how to explain. The man Phuwin once despised starts becoming the one person he feels safest with, while Pond discovers that the spoiled diva he couldn't stand is the only person capable of making his carefully controlled world completely chaotic. They entered the marriage as enemies. Neither expected to fall hopelessly in love.

Phuwin is a clumsy, cheerful college student with a heart far too pure for the cruel world around him. Charming without even trying, he has a habit of making friends wherever he goes and believing there is good in everyone. Until he crosses paths with Fourth. Fourth is everything Phuwin isn't-cruel, unpredictable, and fascinated by watching people suffer. When Fourth crosses a line one day, Phuwin loses his temper and slaps him without thinking. That single moment changes everything. But Fourth isn't the real danger. His elder brother, Pond, is colder, harsher, and far more terrifying. A powerful man who treats everyone around him like they're disposable-including his own younger brother. Between Pond and Fourth lies years of resentment, fear, and a broken brotherly bond. Standing beside Fourth is Gemini-Pond's trusted right-hand man and closest friend. Gemini understands Fourth's pain better than anyone, yet he can never completely take it away. All he can do is stay beside him and silently promise to protect him for the rest of his life. Then Phuwin's world turns upside down when he is suddenly forced into a marriage with Pond. Believing that Fourth is taking revenge for the slap, Phuwin enters the marriage terrified and confused. But he is wrong. Fourth didn't arrange it. Pond did. Now Phuwin and Pond are trapped in the same cage, bound by a marriage neither of them can easily escape. One wants freedom. The other has no intention of letting him go. And somewhere between fear, resentment, obsession, and unexpected tenderness, Phuwin begins to wonder- Was he really forced into Pond's cage... or was Pond waiting for him to enter all along?

POND NARAVIT ruled the city like a ghost dressed in black. Feared by everyone and understood by no one, the heir of the Vachirawit empire carried a strange habit before every murder. White lilies. Freshly cut. Pure enough to cover the scent of death. Hidden in a quiet alley stood Lunaria, a flower shop untouched by the violence outside. That was where Pond met PHUWIN for the first time. Soft voice. Pearl earrings. Pretty hands arranging flowers beside shattered glass and fresh blood. While everyone else feared monsters, Phuwin only looked at Pond with calm curious eyes and asked the one question nobody ever dared to ask. But neither of them knew that this meeting was never an accident. Because long before Pond became obsessed with the beautiful florist, Phuwin had already spent years waiting for him.
