"You'll always be my bro... my special person."
That was Joong Archen-affectionate, dramatic, and unapologetically loud in how he loved. He said it with a laugh, locking Dunk Natachai in a playful chokeslam as Dunk tapped frantically at his wrist in a mock protest.
But then his tone shifted, laughter softening.
"What if... your wife doesn't approve of me in the future?"
Dunk coughed out a laugh, brushing it off like he always did with Joong's strange questions and cryptic remarks. That was just Joong-chaotic, unpredictable, somehow always pushing boundaries Dunk never knew he had.
They couldn't have been more different. Joong was an extrovert who thrived on attention and late-night chaos; Dunk was an introvert who craved quiet, routine, and peace. But somehow, they worked. They balanced each other-fire and calm, noise and stillness. A friendship that shouldn't have made sense, but did.
Until Joong fell in love.
He never meant to. But it happened-quietly, completely. And it broke him, because he knew-he knew-his homophobic best friend would never feel the same. Or so he thought.
When a moment of vulnerability turned into a mistake too big to ignore, Dunk chose to walk away.
7 years passed.
Joong became a rising star-model, singer, and heartthrob. Dunk built an empire of his own as the CEO of Mon Amour, Bangkok's most beloved bakery. Their worlds had changed, but the wounds remained.
As they come face-to-face once more, the weight of unspoken words and the sting of broken promises hang heavy between them. Yet, beneath the years of silence and pain lies a bond too deep to be forgotten.
As they rebuild what was broken, their journey becomes one of rediscovery-not just of each other, but of themselves. The past collides with the present as they explore if love, when it's real, can survive time, heartbreak, and fear.
Because real love doesn't fade.
It waits-for the right moment to begin again.

Strawberries and Cigarettes
"Fucking... asshole..." Dunk cursed under his breath, his body trembling from the overwhelming sensations. Joong leaned in, voice low and vicious against his ear. "That's right," Joong growled, his hips snapping forward, thrusting into Dunk with increasing force. "I am fucking an asshole." For generations, the Boonpraserts and Aydins have stood side by side-two of Thailand's most powerful dynasties, bound by legacy, empire, and an unspoken promise to protect each other's interests. Now, that promise is becoming permanent through the upcoming marriage between the Aydin heir and the Boonpraserts' only daughter. Joong Archen Aydin is everything an heir should be: elegant, obedient, and impossibly perfect-the golden son shaped by legacy and expectation. Dunk Boonprasert, on the other hand, is chaos incarnate. Reckless. Sharp-tongued. The black sheep his family tries to hide behind polished smiles and public image. The two have been enemies since childhood-locked in a lifelong war of petty sabotage, brutal words, and fights that always turned ugly. But everything changes the night Dunk decides to give in to a moment's vulnerability and sleeps with Joong. His sister's fiancé. His lifelong nemesis. The one person he should have never touched.Complete
The Fan Who Owns My Heart - JoongDunk (COMPLETED)
Joong is one of the members of the famous boy group JASPER, together with Pond, Aou, and Santa. He is a talented artist, loved by thousands of fans, but one fan always stands out to him-Dunk. Dunk has been Joong's fan since day one. He attends every concert, fansign, and fanmeeting. He promotes Joong on social media, ignores all his suitors, and focuses only on supporting him. But what no one knows is that Dunk is secretly a rich CEO of bakeries, coffee shops, clothing lines, shoes, and many more. Only his family and close friends know about it. To Joong, Dunk is not just a fan. Since the beginning, Joong has noticed Dunk's kindness, respect, and endless support. He even created a secret account just to talk with Dunk online, without Dunk knowing it was him. Slowly, Joong realizes he is falling for his fan. But everything gets messy when Joong is paired with a female co-star who has a crush on him. Dunk feels jealous and heartbroken, taking a hiatus from supporting Joong. For the first time, Joong panics-not because of his career, but because he doesn't want to lose Dunk. What will happen when Joong finally messages Dunk directly? Will Dunk believe Joong's confession that he only has eyes for him since day one?
Mr. Perfect
Joong Archen's life was perfect-or at least, that's what he told himself every morning as he admired his reflection in the mirror. He was rich, charming, and undeniably handsome. With a smirk, he adjusted his designer suit and ran a hand through his immaculately styled hair. "Damn, I'd marry me." Unfortunately, someone else had already done that job. Dunk Natachai, his devoted husband, was the picture of grace and warmth. Unlike Joong's flamboyant, spoiled nature, Dunk was calm, composed, and utterly dependable. The perfect partner-loyal, loving, and patient beyond reason. They had been married for five years, and in Joong's mind, everything was smooth sailing. After all, Dunk was always there-managing their luxurious home, taking care of their adorable children (a pair of dogs Joong had gifted Dunk on their first anniversary), and making sure Joong never had to worry about minor inconveniences like misplaced cufflinks or bad hair days. But the truth? Joong had been taking Dunk for granted. And life had an odd way of making you realize what you had-by taking it away.Complete![Before the Last Snow - [Dunk Centric]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399577914-256-k594800.jpg)
Before the Last Snow - [Dunk Centric]
Dunk Natachai was the kind of boy you built a life around-gentle, devoted, quietly radiant. A loving househusband and doting father, he gave up everything for Pond Naravit, his college sweetheart turned husband. Together, they had the perfect life-until Dunk's nosebleeds returned. Stage IV leukemia. Six months to live. He doesn't tell Pond. But that same day, Dunk sees Pond through a restaurant window-smiling, laughing, kissing Phuwin Tangsakyuen, Dunk's childhood best friend. He walks away, heart splintering, and begins a secret bucket list for the time he has left-with one final plea: Take care of Ashton when I'm gone. What he doesn't expect is Joong Archen, Pond's college best friend, to return-with old feelings that never truly died. Or that Phuwin, too, has loved him all along. That his kiss with Pond was a desperate mistake born not from love-but heartbreak. As secrets unravel and truths come to light, three men will break. One will fade. And Pond will realize too late that the love of his life was slipping away in silence. Before the Last Snow is a devastating tale of love betrayed, unspoken devotion, and the quiet bravery of saying goodbye.Complete
The love he rented
Joong has two problems. One: His ex-boyfriend is marrying his cousin. Two: His grandma will hand the family empire to said cousin unless Joong proves he's in a serious relationship. Naturally, the solution is to hire a fake boyfriend. Enter Dunk: barista, blunt-tongued, gorgeous, and alarmingly good at kissing like he means it. Joong expected this to be business-only. A few hand-holds, some couple selfies, pretend-giggling. No feelings. No... moaning in expensive bathrooms. But Dunk is too calm, too honest, too firm with those hands and that voice. And Joong? Joong's forgetting this is fake. Especially when Dunk says things like: "If we're going to sell it, we better kiss again. Practice, right?" A fake relationship. A nosy family. One wedding, endless sexual tension, and a hundred chances to fall stupidly in love. Warning: May contain intense hand-holding, emotionally blunt tops, closet makeouts, surprise orgasms, and one (1) very betrayed cat.Complete
In the Line of Fire
🔥 PROLOGUE - "Before the Fall" Joong had never needed a bodyguard this close before. He had a team-faceless men in suits who lingered outside his university gates, rode in cars that tailed discreetly, whispered into hidden mics about routes and rendezvous and security zones. But this was different. This wasn't just proximity. This was permanence. The new bodyguard stood by the grand windows of Joong's penthouse suite, staring out at the skyline like it was a threat. His shoulders were square, broad, coiled like he could spring at any moment. He hadn't smiled once since stepping in. His name was Dunk Natachai. Special Forces background. Silent. Sharp. Unflinching. And terrifyingly beautiful. Joong sipped his orange juice at the breakfast table, eyes flicking upward from behind the rim of his glass. Watching. Studying. The angle of Dunk's jaw. The way his black shirt strained against muscled arms. The glint of the earpiece catching morning light. Unreachable. Untouchable. Joong couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips. "This is going to be fun," he whispered to himself, heart already too warm for his own good. He didn't know it then, but someday- That same man would bleed for him. Kill for him. Come for him like hellfire through steel and smoke. And Joong would fall in love with the fire that saved him.Complete

Chains {JoongDunk}
The Archen estate is not a home. It's a gilded cage. Behind the polished walls and silk curtains, cruelty drips like poison into everything it touches. When the Archen family bought Dunk Natachai from his own blood, it wasn't a wedding - it was a transaction. A boy sold off to silence his father's debts, to seal a name that was never meant to be his. It should have been his sister. She's hated him ever since. But Joong saw Dunk once - one single look - and wanted him. So the house swallowed him whole. Dunk grew up in bruises and broken promises, in a family where love never came without pain. But nothing - nothing - could have prepared him for the Archen mansion. A house full of strangers with matching blood and blackened hearts. Grandfather to aunt, uncle to mother, father to siblings - they don't see him as a husband. They see him as property. An outsider. A servant with a ring on his finger. And every day, Joong - the golden son, the one who claimed him - holds Dunk with gentle hands and soft eyes. He speaks like love is enough. He doesn't hear the whispers behind the walls. He doesn't see what they do when he's gone. Dunk never tells him. So Dunk screams instead. He shatters plates and windows, throws furniture against walls that already suffocate him. He lashes out, he burns down every tender word Joong gives him. He's loud because it's the only way to still feel real. He's breaking because no one else will hear the sound of it. Joong loves him like he's something precious. Dunk hates him like he's the cage itself. This isn't a love story. It's a war inside a house that smiles for the world and bleeds behind closed doors.Complete
