"He offered to be your patron? And he said he's *drawn* to you? Santa, this is either the most romantic thing ever, or the most manipulative." Satang's voice was a mix of awe and suspicion.
"I don't know, satang. He just... he looked at my work, and he saw it. He understood what I was trying to do. No one's ever done that before." Santa hugged his arms, a shiver running through him despite the warm afternoon.
"And... when he looked into my eyes... it was like... electricity."
"Electricity that could power a small city"

Flavours of You
Perth Reid (Perth Tanapon) is a top-tier corporate lawyer known for his cold logic, steel resolve, and complete indifference toward food. After an illness years ago robbed him of his ability to taste, eating became mechanical-a necessity to survive, not something to savor. His life is clean, controlled, and utterly flavorless. Until one accidental encounter changes everything. Santa Sinclair (Santa Pongsapak) is a passionate, chaotic pastry chef with flour on his cheeks and fire in his heart. After his bakery crumbles under debt and a brutal food critic's review, he picks up a part-time catering gig at a high-end event-and serves dessert to the one man who tastes everything. For the first time in years, Perth can taste. Everything. Sweet, salty, bitter, bright-his senses light up, and the chef behind the miracle becomes an obsession he can't reason away. Desperate to reclaim this spark, Perth finds himself chasing the man who turned his world upside down with a spoonful of lemon tart. But Santa isn't looking for a knight in tailored suits. He's tired, guarded, and convinced that the world has no place for dreamers like him. Still, Perth keeps showing up-with awkward compliments, shameless bribery, and slowly, a tenderness that refuses to be ignored. As they blend their two worlds-one precise and restrained, the other wild and messy-Santa and Santa discover that love, like cooking, is about more than the ingredients. It's about risk, vulnerability, and the courage to taste something new.Complete
Powerplay ||PerthSanta
"If you're trying to intimidate me, Mr. Tanapon..." "Oh, I'm not trying. I already have you flustered." Perth Tanapon, Bangkok's ruthless real estate king, doesn't do distractions-until he walks in. Santa Pongsapak, CEO of luxury jewelry brand Muse, returns to Bangkok for his father's gala-poised, powerful, and not here to fall in love. Two CEOs. One city. The deal? Pure tension. The risk?

Beneath the Suit, Behind the Mic ||PerthSanta
"It was just a stupid dare. One kiss to whoever walked into the club first. I didn't know it'd be him-the same man who now has me pressed against his penthouse window asking if I still like playing games." Santa's job is to sparkle on stage. Perth's job is to control everything behind the scenes. One kiss in a club sparks a fire neither of them can put out. Now, under flashing lights and closed doors, they navigate a dangerous game of desire, denial, and dominance. He wears suits like armor. Santa wears glitter like war paint. Behind the mic, he's a star. Beneath the suit, Perth is losing control. One's chasing fame. The other's chasing him.Complete
The Contract ||PerthSanta
"A marriage built on paper. A love that was never supposed to happen." Perth and Santa are Thailand's golden couple - rich, flawless, untouchable. But behind the mansion gates, their one year contract is about to end. Their marriage was never about love, only business. A one year contract to merge two family empires, sealed with smiles and handshakes. "I can't stay in a marriage where I'm the only one in love, Perth" Santa says, his voice breaking. Santa is tired of living in a loveless marriage. Perth, who once swore he'd never fall for his husband, is not ready to let go. Now, with their past threatening to pull them apart, Perth has one chance to prove that this time, his love isn't just written in a contract - it's real.Complete
Between Control and Chaos
Perth Tanapon was a man of control-cold, precise, untouchable. As the CEO of Riser Music, his world was ruled by discipline, silence, and carefully maintained distance. Love was a distraction, emotions were weaknesses, and attachments? Out of the question. Then came Santa. A neonatal nurse with a sharp tongue, an infuriating smile, and absolutely no fear of him. Santa was warmth where Perth had only ever known cold, chaos where Perth had built order, and the first person to ever push past his walls like they never existed at all. What started as a game of wits-teasing glances, fleeting touches, power struggles disguised as flirtation-soon spirals into something neither of them can control. Because control was never meant to last. Not when Santa made losing feel so damn good. And Perth was never letting him go.Complete
The Boy Who Calmed The Beast
There was once a villain of the city. A storm. Whose tortures marked the city with blood. Trees and winds would hush when he walked. Stone cold eyes and heart devoid of any ounce of warmth. Perth Tanapon. Then there was the sunshine of the world. Who would probably apologise to a mosquito if he slapped it. Adored by even the hardest hearts. The boy who tamed the storm. Santa Pongsapak. The boy who wouldn't hurt a fly. And the man who would burn down the world for him. It's their storyComplete
The Art of Tripping Into Love
Santa, a second-generation rich baby of high society, never expected his life to turn into a full-fledged romcom. But when Perth Tanapon-a ridiculously wealthy, infuriatingly composed heir with a secret possessive streak-gets forced into a business marriage with him, Santa suddenly finds himself at the center of scandal, chaos, and an engagement he never saw coming. The problem? Perth has been into Santa for years. The bigger problem? Santa is completely oblivious. From accidental kisses to public meltdowns, from meddling families to their friends treating their love life like a reality show, Santa somehow manages to drive Perth insane without even trying. But when Perth's patience finally snaps-when he stops pretending and starts chasing-Santa realizes two very important things: Perth is dangerously good at getting under his skin. Maybe-just maybe-he doesn't mind it as much as he thought. Cue one clumsy love story, an army of nosy friends, and a possessive billionaire who fell first and fell the hardest. Because in the end? Santa might be the menace, but Perth was always the down-bad king.Complete
Sunlight In The Shadow
Perth, the enigmatic Crown Prince of the Shadow Kingdom, is known far and wide for his cold demeanor, sharp tongue, and aura of mystery. Feared by many and loved by none-he's accepted his fate as the heir who walks in darkness. Then there's Santa-a ray of sunshine from the neighboring Solaria Kingdom. Adorably clumsy, hopelessly cheerful, and always dressed in bright colors, he's a royal envoy sent to learn diplomacy...and ends up living in the same palace as Perth. Santa smiles at Perth. Perth glares. Santa bakes cookies. Perth scoffs-but secretly eats them all. Santa trips into Perth's arms. Perth pretends to be annoyed-but his heart races. Let the chaos (and sweetness) begin.Complete
