Some days are easier than others. New has a good job, people who care about him, and a boyfriend who loves him more than anything. From the outside, his life looks ordinary. Happy, even. But depression doesn't always look the way people expect. Behind every smile, every completed task, and every reassuring "I'm fine," New is fighting a battle no one else can see. Not because he wants to hide it, but because he no longer knows how to explain what it feels like to be exhausted by simply existing. As the distance between what the world sees and what New experiences grows wider, Tay begins to realize that loving someone isn't the same as understanding them. And sometimes, even love isn't enough to silence the lies depression tells. [This is just a fictional story from my brain]

The nights grow colder the further they travel, and the distance between Tay and New disappears faster than it should. They were never meant to be paired. But here they are; ten nights in one tent, with no room to hide. New has always known his place; steady, reliable, nothing more than a Beta who fights like something else. Tay has always relied on control, because he knows exactly what happens when an Alpha loses it. But out there, far from their pack, something goes wrong. There is a scent that shouldn't exist. A heat that can't be stopped. A moment neither of them chooses, but neither of them can escape. By morning, everything has changed. Because New is not who he thought he was. And Tay has already crossed a line he swore he never would. What happened between them should never have happened. But it did. And some consequences don't fade... they follow you home.

At this university, reputation is everything. New has built a career out of understanding that better than anyone. For the right price, he becomes exactly what people need him to be: the attentive boyfriend at family dinners, the perfect date for formal galas, the convincing rebound in carefully curated photographs. He sells presence, charm, and intimacy polished to perfection. There are rules: - No sex. - No real relationships. - No feelings. - Everything is negotiated and controlled. He has never broken a rule. Tay Tawan was never supposed to need someone like New. As the heir to a powerful family and one of the university's most admired students, Tay is used to managing his image with effortless precision. But when a public breakup turns him into the villain of his own story, he needs more than silence to restore his reputation. He needs someone believable. Someone untouchable. Someone who knows how to perform. Hiring New is supposed to be strategic. What begins as a transaction quickly turns into something far more complicated. The staged smiles start to feel natural. The paid touches linger longer than they should. The line between performance and truth begins to blur, and neither of them is prepared for what happens when the act no longer feels like an act. Because New has spent years selling the illusion of love without ever letting himself experience it. And Tay is about to offer him the one thing that was never part of the deal. In a world where image is power and vulnerability is dangerous, they will have to decide whether what they built was only ever pretend, or if it was real all along. **He sells love for money, until someone offers it to him for free.**

Two years ago, New disappeared from Tay's life without a word. No explanation, no closure, just absence. When New suddenly reappears on campus, Tay doesn't understand it. New is distant, controlled, and acts as if the past never happened. Every attempt at contact is ignored. Every unanswered look only makes the frustration grow. Tay can't let it go. Not the silence. Not the way New refuses to acknowledge him. Not the feeling that something is being deliberately kept out of reach. Then, at the end of an ordinary school day, Tay meets a small boy in the hallway. The encounter is brief, confusing and unsettling in ways Tay can't immediately explain. Until New appears moments later, scoops the child up, and walks away with him. And that moment changes everything... Main couple: TayNew [This is just a fictional story from my brain]

Tay lives a quiet, carefully balanced life in the heart of the city. He has his routines, his apartment, his distance. Love feels complicated, fleeting, and just out of reach, especially during the holidays. Then, on Christmas Eve, a package arrives at his door. One mistaken delivery turns into an intimacy Tay can't unsee - or forget.

At Hogwarts, love was never meant to break the rules... but theirs breaks them all. Tay, a half-blood Ravenclaw, has always believed that magic is meant to heal. New, pure-blood heir to an ancient Slytherin line, was raised to believe it must obey. In a world divided by blood, duty, and tradition, their connection is unthinkable... and yet, irresistible. What begins as rivalry turns into something quiet and tender, something they can only share in secret corners and whispered spells. Because two boys from houses that were never meant to meet cannot simply fall in love. Not without consequences. But when tragedy strikes, New refuses to lose the one person who ever saw him as more than his name. He breaks the oldest vow of his bloodline, casting a forbidden spell, a magic that binds his life to Tay's. One heart revived, two fates intertwined. Now, as ancient power stirs and the mark of his sin burns beneath his skin, New must face the question that love itself has left behind: What if saving someone you love comes at the cost of your own soul?

Until Tay finds someone else. Suddenly, the games don't feel so fun, and the emptiness is impossible to ignore. Only then does New understand that losing Tay might mean losing the only love that was ever real. Main couple: TayNew [This is just a fictional story from my brain]

Tay and New have spent years circling each other like enemies, sharp words, sharper looks, and an unspoken agreement to never get too close. But one night, a strange ritual changes everything. When they close their eyes in the real world, they wake in another life. A world where they are Pete and Kao, two engineering students deeply in love, sharing an apartment, a history, and a bond that feels both foreign and painfully familiar. Each night draws them deeper into that shared life. Each day, it becomes harder to separate memory from dream. And somewhere between two worlds, Tay and New must face the question they've tried to avoid: Are they destined to be nothing more than rivals... or have they been each other's all along? Main couple: TayNew [This is just a fictional story from my brain]

It begins with a kiss, breathless, unexpected, too much and not enough. One night, alone in a room, Tay and New cross a line they've both been dancing around for months. The sex is intense, overwhelming and far too real to be meaningless, but New insists it doesn't change anything. Tay agrees, even though neither of them believes it. Weeks later, New discovers he's pregnant. He doesn't tell anyone, least of all Tay, afraid that staying out of obligation would hurt more than leaving. But secrets can't stay hidden forever, especially when they grow under your skin. Main couple: TayNew Side couple: MarkJunior [This is just a fictional story from my brain]
