[Work in Progress] Author here! Just wanted to see if anyone would actually read this, so I'm publishing a Prologue sort of thing first before I write up a bunch of stuff, just to end up not publishing. Themes: Modern Royal AU, Romance, Angst - It's all fun when it starts off as a vow between ancestors to jokes between friends, but what if it really ends up happening due to circumstances? Keng Harit Buayoi, the Crown Prince of the Buayoi Kingdom. Cold, sharp, and most of all handsome. Namping Pingmuang, the Crown Prince of the Pingmuang Kingdom. Shy, quiet and cute. - When all is going well, until it isn't and fate brings them both together when their minds are telling them that they are enemies while their hearts beat otherwise. "I, Harit Buayoi, take you, Namping Pingmuang, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow," Keng spoke as he gritted his teeth through a lopsided smile. "I, Namping Pingmuang, take you, Harit Buayoi, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow." Namping said as he wistfully looked down at both of their Grandfathers, who sat there, eyes softening while looking at their lineage finally getting together. "Finally." both of their grandparents whispered while looking at the newly wed couple. - Lmao hope y'all like this, idek what I'm writing atp but hopefully the story strings along well... and hopefully many of y'all like it cuz I'm like OBSESSED WITH KHEMJIRA AND CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM AT ALL!!! Hence I had to resort to writing my own KengXNamping FF cuz I love them a little too much.

Bangkok never sleeps. By day, it thrives in sunlight and laughter. By night, it belongs to shadows, ruled by a name whispered in fear-the empire of a ruthless mafia boss and his four sons. Keng, Tle, Jimmy, and Thomas were born into blood. Each carries the weight of their father's legacy-loyalty, violence, silence. But none of them expected that their hearts would lead them into even more dangerous territory. Because in the same city live four young men bound not by crime, but by secrets. Namping hides bruises behind his smile. Firstone works himself to the bone to repay debts that aren't his. Ohm is trapped between loyalty to a detective father and the mafia world he never asked to be part of. And Kong-carefree on the surface-is the son of a rival empire. When the mafia's heirs collide with the four best friends, their lives twist into a storm of love, betrayal, vengeance, and longing. In a city of neon lights and unspoken truths, where family means everything and freedom costs blood- Can love survive the shadows? Or will secrets destroy them all?
