Breath by MAME - Fan-Translation

Brief: This is the story of Tul and Hin. This is a Sadistic Sexual relationship, and for a long time, it is not a healthy Sadomasochistic relationship. While all of the sex is consensual, consent is not sufficient without safety measures and aftercare practices in place. Therefore, please know that what you read here is first fiction and second not something you should do yourself. Within the scope of Sadomasochistic relationships, there are safe practices. Before trying Sadomasochistic sex, learn about those safe practices.

Synopsis: Tul and Hin are Thai college seniors. They attend one of the nation's top business schools. Tul, the firstborn of an affluent family has an extensive history of childhood trauma from his paternal grandmother's abuse, his mother's abandonment, an emotionally distant father, and the trauma of a violent kidnapping. Hin, the son of the family chauffeur and head cook, has been Tul's emotional support and often punching bag through it. Raised together, the two share a deep and complex bond rooted in both friendship and co-dependence.

Both Tul and Hin exhibit psychopathic tendencies and malignant narcissistic traits. The story unfolds during their final year of college and explores the shifting dynamics of their bond and Tul's vengeful relationship with his half-brother, Tinn. Interwoven flashbacks reveal the intricacies of their shared childhood and the experiences that shaped them.

Despite their flaws and psychopathic neurotypes, the novel has an eventual happy ending-a resolution that honors their true selves and provides a nuanced portrayal of their psychological complexities.
