What happens when the 'plan' goes off-script? When Pae decided to help Duang by getting close to Tong, he never expected to actually enjoy the view. The TongPae Chronicles is a collection of stories charting their journey-navigating secret identities, confessions, and the terrifying realization that what started as a scheme is much deeper than they ever thought. The quiet hours-the slow-burn realization that a relationship built on a lie can eventually become the only truth worth holding onto. These are the fragmented, ordinary moments of a love that has been weathered, worn smooth, and found its permanent rhythm in the silence between confessions.

This short story picks up immediately after Duang and Qin officially announce they are a couple, while Jamie finally reveals his longtime partner, Marvis Lee, to the rest of the squad. At the same time, another secret is revealed. The mysterious *Nong Cherry* that Tong has been obsessed with since last year is finally revealed to be none other than Pae-one of Duang's best friends. "I did it to help my friend," Pae claims. But little does everyone know, Pae is keeping an even bigger secret from his friends and truthfully from himself. Because there was a reason he chose Tong over Kim, despite having access to Qin's entire circle of friends. Just like there was a reason Tong kept returning even as it became increasingly obvious that he was being catfished, ghosted, and lied to. As there was a reason Tong held on for as long as he did. Because some secrets are revealed through fake names while some are hidden behind screens. But for Tong and Pae's case, some secrets have been standing right in front of them all along. **NONG CHERRY & ME** is a special short story starring Tong and Pae aka **TheeWave**.

After losing their parents at a young age, Thomas gave up his teenage years to raise his little brother, Wave, becoming his protector, provider, and entire world. Even twelve years later, the two remain inseparable, with Wave unknowingly driving away every person Thomas ever tried to love. But everything changes when Thomas meets Kong, a gentle coworker who finally makes him want to open his heart again. Though conflicted by the idea of someone entering their once-exclusive world, Wave decides to support his brother's happiness and becomes Thomas' unlikely wingman despite knowing nothing about romance. Meanwhile, Wave accidentally crosses paths with Thee, their university's famous varsity player and campus heartthrob, after kicking a stone that hits him in the leg. When a video of the incident spreads online, Wave becomes the target of obsessive fans and school gossip. Furious, he confronts Thee directly-only for their disastrous first meeting to become the start of something unexpected. As Thomas learns how to love for himself, Wave finds his carefully guarded heart slowly being challenged by the one person he thought he could never stand.

some people arrive in your life exactly when you need them. others arrive when the timing is all wrong. 𝗣𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁 "𝗣𝗵𝘂𝗺" 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻, a third-year literature student, believes every story has the perfect ending-you just have to be patient enough to write it. quiet, thoughtful, and endlessly romantic, he spends his evenings buried in novels and anonymously posting poetry that no one knows is inspired by the stranger who changed his life. 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻 "𝗞𝗶𝗻" 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶, an ambitious architecture student, has spent years designing buildings meant to last forever, even though he has never believed people do. with graduation approaching and a dream internship overseas within reach, he refuses to let love become another distraction. their paths cross on a rainy evening outside the university library. one forgotten umbrella. one conversation that lasts until sunrise. one person who suddenly feels like home. as semesters pass, shared coffees become traditions, late-night walks become confessions, and stolen glances slowly turn into something neither of them dares to name. but just as they're ready to admit what they've always felt, life pulls them toward different futures-one chasing his dream abroad, the other staying behind to care for his family. sometimes love isn't destroyed by betrayal. sometimes it's simply defeated by time. years later, fate gives them another chance beneath the same campus trees where everything began. But people change, wounds linger, and the question they've carried for years still remains: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸... 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼

Thee is a architect. He never expected a simple visit to Blue Horizon Marine Rescue & Aquarium to change his life. But when he meets Wave, a passionate marine biologist devoted to protecting sharks, he's drawn into a world where every rescued animal carries a story and every tide brings a new beginning. As Thee falls for the man who calls the ocean home, his friends find love of their own: Copper, a wildlife photographer captivated by a gentle sea turtle specialist, and Ryujin, an ER doctor whose guarded heart slowly melts for an optimistic marine keeper. Together, they'll discover that healing isn't only for the animals they rescue. Sometimes, the sea rescues people too.
