Pain and suffering is all they knew from quite young ages. Until they met each other.
Club Pentagon. Where it all began. Where they met. They got close quick but not in a normal friend way.
Drugs. Alcohol. Suffering. All they knew and all they really bonded on with..getting to know each other was for the good and worse.
What do you do when you fall inlove with someone that you know you cant get with? Then they fall inlove but once you have drifted apart? What do you do when you both start to struggle more and more. Slowly start hating each other until...it all falls down.
"It almost worked..." the man with the greasy black feminine hair and dark sunken brown eyes said as he stared up at the man with messy but fluffy purple hair and glowing blue eyes.

Lovers (~thangyu~)
Seoul never sleeps. Its streets hide neon-lit clubs, smoky alleyways, and people who live in the shadows. Namgyu has always been one of them-an introvert with sharp eyes and sharper secrets. By day, he works behind the counter of a convenience store; by night, he deals the kind of substances that keep the city moving. He doesn't trust anyone. He doesn't need anyone. At least, that's what he tells himself. Thanos, on the other hand, thrives in chaos. An underground rapper with violet hair and a voice that fills the notorious Pentagon club every week. He drowns in pills, women, and fleeting highs, constantly burning bridges-including with his dealers. When a friend connects him to Namgyu, he expects just another exchange. Quick. Clean. Temporary. But their first meeting doesn't go as planned. Namgyu refuses his smooth talk, refuses his charm-and refuses to step into Thanos's world. That rejection sparks something neither of them expect. What begins as a cold, transactional connection slowly grows into nights spent together, cigarettes shared on balconies, silences heavy with unspoken things. It's not love. Not yet. Just two broken men filling the emptiness with each other. But loneliness is a dangerous drug-and in Seoul's shadows, it might be the most addictive one of all. A slowburn dark romance with gritty city vibes, sharp edges, and a love story that was never supposed to happen. (Fanart on the cover isn't mine:)Complete

Void in Blue || ThanGyu
Haunted by dreams he can't explain and a past he'd rather forget, Namgyu finds himself spiraling through addiction, grief, and surreal encounters that blur the line between reality and delusion. As his world unravels, he's drawn toward a mysterious figure who may hold answers - or drag him deeper into the dark. or In which Namgyu goes through hell and back because he wanted some pills. Oh, and because he fell in love with a dead guy. -- TW: vomit, suicide, blood, mentions of child abuse and drug abuse. total word count: 80040 art: @_lukavyi on X/twitterComplete
Bar tab, Heart stab | Thangyu
BOOK 1/2 Namgyu doesn't like loud people, messy drink orders, or purple-haired guys who act like they own the room. Unfortunately, Thanos is all three. When Thanos stumbles into Namgyu's bar on a packed Saturday night and starts downing drinks like he's trying to forget something, Namgyu figures he'll be gone in an hour. Instead, Thanos keeps coming back-mouthy, reckless, and annoyingly hard to ignore. They don't like each other. They don't want to like each other. But between the snide remarks, spilled shots, and lingering glares, something starts brewing-and it's not just the drinks. - 1🥇#thangyu 7/10/2025 2 🥈#namgyu 7/10/2025Complete
I didn't want to love you. I really didn't. (Thanos x Nam-gyu / Thangyu)
Nam-gyu: reserved, smart, and convinced that he hates Thanos. Thanos: loud, confident, and absolutely certain that Nam-gyu doesn't actually hate him. Their teacher: "You two will work in pairs." And we get to watch as the walls slowly melt away. __________________________________________________________________________________ Hello! This is my first fanfiction I'm uploading to Wattpad.
