Joong had never believed in fate.
Until the accident.
When he opened his eyes in the hospital, dazed and dizzy, he saw a glowing number floating above the nurse's head.
3247
It pulsed, like a heartbeat.
Days.
The number dropped by one as the clock struck midnight.
He tried to ignore it. Pretend it was trauma, stress, anything logical.
But then he saw zero above a stranger in the hallway.
And the stranger died.
Joong's world cracked.
He stopped looking at the numbers.
Stopped caring.
Until the boy with the countdown of 30 days spilled iced coffee on him and smiled like sunlight.
Dunk.
He lived like time didn't scare him. Joong watched his number burn lower and lower, powerless.
And somewhere between midnight drives, raindrop kisses, and rooftop sunrises - joong forgot that dunk was a countdown.
He started treating him like a future.
But fate doesn't negotiate.
When love arrives with an expiration date,
What hurts more --
Knowing the end is coming or loving anyway?

𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗝𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗹 | 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! Joong has always been a free spirit, exuding an aura that warns people not to mess with him. The school didn't want to give up on such a promising student, but he was too wild to be tamed. Then, in a surprising turn of events, he changed his ways all on his own. Everyone: ??? He thought this was how his life would be until he met Doctor Dunk, and suddenly, his whole world lit up. On the day the college entrance exams ended, the entire class was gathered together in celebration. No one noticed that the coolest and most handsome guy in class, Joong, got caught smoking and was pinned against the wall by his "Phi" punished with a kiss that left him breathless. When the kiss left him weak-kneed and his mind blank, Doctor Dunk pressed closer, his indifferent monolid eyes slightly lowered as he softly coaxed him: "Be good." Later, the two of them made a rule: For every cigarette he smoked, he'd get a kiss. 'Damn.', Joong cursed under his breath, blushing, "How am I supposed to quit like this.." |All credits to the real owner|Complete
Chains of Obsession
Joong Archen is Asia's most adored pop idol - golden boy on stage, but behind the glittering spotlight lurks a man consumed by obsession. For months, he's stalked the country's rising supermodel, Dunk, collecting fragments of his life like treasures. His obsession isn't just a secret-it's the only thing keeping him alive. But Joong isn't the only one watching. Dunk has secrets of his own: while cameras worship him, he's been quietly, silently, just as fixated on Joong. Every move, every glance, every breath, Dunk craves it. Their obsession is mutual-though neither knows the full extent of the other's darkness. Everything shatters the night Joong catches another shadow following Dunk-Mirabell, a dangerously unhinged fan who will do anything to possess him. To save Dunk (and to keep him for himself), Joong makes a choice: kidnapping. Only, to his surprise, Dunk doesn't resist. He wants it. He's been waiting for it. As the walls close in, Joong and Dunk spiral into a twisted, erotic dance of obsession, violence, and desire-two stalkers bound together by love that is anything but pure. Their romance deepens in captivity, their hunger for each other consuming, unhinged, and impossible to control. But Mirabell won't stop until Dunk is hers, even if it means blood on her hands. And in the shadows of fame and insanity, Joong and Dunk discover something terrifyingly beautiful: they're each other's perfect monster. A GHOSTSHIP BUILT ON OBSESSION. A RHYMING FATE: JOONG AND DUNK. A LOVE STORY SHARP AS GLASS AND HOT AS FIRE.
Love Is An Oath of Violence {JoongDunk}
Joong doesn't believe in love. He believes in loyalty. In violence. In silence. For years, he's built his empire with blood and broken bones - to keep his little brother, Phuwin, untouched by the world that ruined him. There's only one rule in his life: No one touches Phuwin. Not his enemies. Not strangers. Not even his best friend. Pond knows that rule better than anyone. And yet he looks. Just enough to piss Joong off. Just enough to remind him how thin the line between friendship and war can get. And Dunk? He was never meant to be part of this story. The boy behind the counter, smiling like nothing hurts. The man who built a restaurant Joong visits only with strangers. Dunk waits. Watches. Loves him in secret. And Joong- Joong looks right through him. Because Dunk is background noise. And Joong doesn't love. He uses. He leaves. He destroys. But love doesn't need permission. It festers in silence. It grows in the dark corners of late nights and long stares. It bleeds when Joong walks in with someone else and Dunk has to serve them like nothing inside him is breaking. And when violence comes closer- when Pond crosses a line that should never be crossed, when Dunk becomes a weapon instead of a man- Joong will learn what happens when something he never claimed is ripped away. Because this isn't a love story. It's a slow descent. A dangerous want. A promise of ruin. ⸻ A real dark romance - where loyalty is a knife, love is a trap, and one look can cost everything.

Echoes Of Us
"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.Complete
Wrong Text, Right Person
Accidental texts are generally easy to forget. Accidental fantasies? Not so much. When Dunk sends a filthy, unfiltered fantasy to the wrong contact, it lands in Joong's inbox instead. He braces for disgust, maybe anger. What he gets is... curiosity. And an answer. What starts as one awkward, dangerous exchange turns into a game of late-night messages, shared secrets, and escalating dares neither of them can stop. But as their conversations turn hotter-and riskier-they'll have to decide: is this just about desire, or are they falling into something deeper... and far more dangerous than either of them planned?

TRUTH,DARE or DESTINY
This isn't "bad boy who's secretly good.- This is "bad man who could destroy nations and still casually ask for your number because you caught his interest." He's seductive like silk wrapped around a dagger. He makes Joong feel safe and terrified at the same time. Because when he says, "You're interesting," you just know something in the timeline has shifted. He's not evil for the sake of it. He's a pragmatic chaos curator. He solves impossible problems for the highest bidder, or just for fun. He has no loyalties-until maybe Joong becomes his first. And Joong? Joong is the one wild card he never planned for. He didn't expect Joong to matter. But now that Joong does, he'll burn down every algorithm he's ever built to keep him close.Complete![Tides of Illicit Blossom - [PhuwinDunk]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399574062-256-k588282.jpg)
