A chance encounter between the two at Club Pentagon, where Thanos performs regularly, leads them to become friends, only for a needless fight to ruin it all. Still, Nam-Gyu makes Thanos feel things he has never experienced before, forcing him to question everything he ever thought he was. As they slip into a complicated situation - caught somewhere between friends, enemies, and lovers - the very pressure of it all drives Nam-Gyu deeper and deeper into heroin addiction, making the situation even more complicated.

attempt to keep a secret. ( thangyu )
@sniftythangyu 's original story . cover art by : @giselle748613 on wattpad / soojin.is.just.a.girl on tiktok ! thangyu, no one dies au. (and namgyu is a streamer/gamer!) thanos/su-bong and namgyu have been friends since high school. they are STILL friends(they like eachother though.), and they live in a apartment together now. they decide to keep it a secret, since namgyu nor thanos would want their fans finding out they live together. so they made a promise, don't reveal they live together. but you know, some promises never last. they break, y'know. on accident..but also on purpose. some people think thanos and namgyu are friends or live together, but namgyu denies it as thanos pretends he doesn't see the theories. you also may ask why they aren't together yet, right? why, it's because of thanos' girlfriend, Yeona Se-na. Will they get together?
damn just kiss me already (~thangyu~)
When Namgyu - a quiet, reserved guy who prefers the corner of the room to the center of attention - follows his friends to the notorious Pentagon club, he doesn't expect to run into Thanos, a local rap sensation known for his wild performances, bad habits, and trail of drama. From the first exchange, they're convinced they'll hate each other: Namgyu sees Thanos as loud, arrogant, and self-destructive, while Thanos thinks Namgyu is just another boring guy with nothing to offer. But the night doesn't end the way either of them expects. One drink turns into two, and before they know it, the line between annoyance and intrigue begins to blur. As the weeks go on, their accidental meeting evolves into something they can't quite name - stolen moments, sharp words that hide softer ones, and a growing tension neither wants to admit. Thanos's complicated history and Mina's misplaced crush threaten to derail whatever fragile connection is forming. But Namgyu's steady presence starts breaking down Thanos's walls - and with them, the lie Thanos has told himself all his life: that he's only into girls. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. Neon lights, spilled drinks, and a love neither of them saw coming. (fanart on the cover isn't mine;))Complete
