When Our Paths Collide
Pond never expected his carefully planned life to spiral into scandal. Phuwin never thought that idolizing a man could change his entire world. Joong never imagined he'd be forced to face his own heart and the truths he'd been running from. And Dunk never imagined love could find him in the middle of all the chaos. But when love collides with family expectations... what choice do you make? And when choosing happiness means risking everything... do you still dare to fight? Four hearts, tangled by fate. Two couples, tested by family. One scandal that could ruin everything- or prove that love is worth the fight. ‼️This story is a pure fiction . This has nothing to do with real life‼️Complete
NOTHING FATHERLY ABOUT THIS
-He was my stepfather. The man my mother married after my real dad died. I hated him-or at least I thought I did. Until she left. And he stayed. When Joong's mother vanishes with a new lover, she leaves behind a letter, a home, and a truth-plus one very devoted stepfather. Dunk never tried to replace Joong's father... but he's always been there. Quiet. Kind. Too kind. And Joong is starting to wonder if all that resentment has been covering up something else entirely. A short, emotionally complex, age-gap drama full of tenderness, love, and the quiet heartbreak of loving someone you're not supposed to. A contract marriage. A broken family. An 18-year-old boy who hates the man he believes stole his mother-and a man who only wanted to protect them both. Joong never asked for a new father. Especially not one like Dunk-quiet, responsible, and irritatingly handsome. Dunk married his mother for reasons Joong doesn't understand, and now that she's gone, Dunk still won't leave. But in the silent spaces between slammed doors and unspoken truths, something begins to shift. Steady. Domestic. Emotional. This is not the story they expected.Complete![WHAT LOVE DID TO ME [PONDPHUWIN]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396317582-256-k684314.jpg)
WHAT LOVE DID TO ME [PONDPHUWIN]
Pond Naravit Lertratkosum is a self-made tech CEO-cold, commanding, emotionally shut off. Raised to believe queerness equals weakness, he built his empire by burying every part of himself that could feel. Now, his father threatens to take it all away-unless he agrees to one thing: marry a man. Phuwin Tangsakyuen is everything Pond was taught to despise-openly gay, elegant, and the biological son of two powerful fathers in a world where mpreg is completely natural. A fashion mogul in his own right, Phuwin once loved Pond silently, clinging to a fleeting moment of college kindness. So when the chance comes to marry him-even through a loveless contract-he says yes. Because maybe, the boy he once believed in still exists beneath all that ice. But what begins as a cold business arrangement quickly unravels into something messier. Resentment. Buried desire. Emotional scars. And a past that refuses to stay buried. But will Phuwin finally get the love, he's always ached for or will he have to watch the one thing he wanted most, burn him from the inside out? This is not a sweet romance. It's messy, raw and painfully human. 🔥 Slow-burn | Enemies to lovers | Arranged marriage | Mpreg AU ⚠️ Verbal/emotional abuse, internalized homophobia, heavy smuts, angst, mpreg. Reader discretion advised. 💫 Joong × Dunk and Gemini × Fourth appear as side couples-offering warmth (or more angst) and contrast to the chaos.

SHY EYES, BOLD HEART
Prologue "In class, he teaches international theories. After dark, he decides who lives or dies." Dunk Methakawin isn't just a professor with a charming smile and perfect lesson plans - he's the head of one of the most dangerous Mafia syndicates in Asia. His orders topple governments. His decisions redraw bloodlines. But at this elite university, he's playing a new game - undercover, unreadable, and unbelievably close to falling for a student who barely speaks above a whisper. Joong is quiet. Brilliant. Beautiful. And completely unaware of the storm walking toward him in tailored suits and textbook references. He's just trying to pass his classes, avoid eye contact, and maybe stop blushing every time his professor says his name. Then there's Phuwin - Dunk's younger brother and second-in-command. Sharp as a blade. Silent as death. He's supposed to be watching the enemy. But he finds himself watching someone else instead: a shy, clumsy student named Pond, who might just become the one crack in Phuwin's steel armor. Four lives. Two worlds. One classroom. And zero rules when love meets power. ⸻ "He gives lectures in the day. He gives orders at night. But the heart he wants to control the most... sits quietly in the back row."Complete
