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?All Rights Reserved

NOTHING FATHERLY ABOUT THIS by missbronzehair

-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.

Bound By Obsession by _treasure_JD

JoongDunk Mafia AU They said Dunk's life was perfect. Married to Phuwin - a rich, powerful heir who owned multiple companies - he was supposed to live like royalty. But behind those mansion walls, perfection was a lie. He wasn't treated like a husband. He was treated like a maid. No love. No warmth. Only orders, insults, and cruelty. Then came the unexpected - a pregnancy that turned his world upside down. Running from a life that wanted to destroy him and his baby, Dunk never imagined the universe would lead him straight into the hands of Joong Archen Aydin, the city's most feared mafia boss. For Dunk, it was their first meeting. For Joong... it wasn't. He didn't know that escaping one hell... would lead him straight into another. A man who could destroy lives with a glance. Cold. Dangerous. Merciless. And yet, the moment he saw Dunk, something snapped inside him. He wanted him. Protected him. Owned him. To Joong, Dunk became an addiction - something pure in his dark world. But somewhere between fear and obsession, their hearts began to beat as one - bound by pain, fire, and a love that no one could destroy. And when the world tried to take Dunk away again, Joong made one promise: "Touch him... and I'll burn everything you've ever loved." Dunk: "He was dangerous. I was desperate. And somehow we became home. ❗️Mpreg❗️

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|

Bound to be broken fought to be together by Srivastava003

They were never supposed to meet. They were never supposed to fall in love. ✨ Joong Archen Aydin - spoiled heir, scandal magnet, chaos wrapped in charm. ✨ Dunk Natachai Boomprat - cold lawyer, untouchable, a man who lives by rules. Two opposites, forced together. Two worlds that should never collide. But somewhere between the fights, the tension, and the games... they fall. And once they fall, not staying together feels like it would kill them. To hold on to each other, they'll break every rule. Ignore every warning. Risk everything. Yet in the shadows, a truth waits - hidden from the world, from Joong, and even from Dunk himself. A truth powerful enough to shake Dunk's entire world... and destroy the fragile love they've built. 💔 What happens when that secret finally comes to light? Will Dunk and Joong fight the world together - or will the truth tear them apart forever? 🔥 Enemies to lovers. Fire vs ice. A love story never meant to exist... yet too strong to let go - even if it means breaking every rule.

TRUTH,DARE or DESTINY by missbronzehair

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.

Forbidden Love by a_1wondering_soul

This is a story about two boys who never chose to be family... but fate tied their lives together anyway. Dunk - the older one - grew up too fast, learned to hide his pain behind power, money and silence. Joong - the younger one - ran away from truth, from emotions, from everything that broke his heart. They loved each other in different ways... and hated themselves for those feelings. Years passed. The world changed. But the string between them never broke. Life took everything from them - parents, peace, childhood innocence - and yet destiny kept pushing them together again and again. This is not just a romance. This is a story of pain, denial, loss... rediscovering love, fighting fear... and finally choosing each other. Two stepbrothers. One forbidden love. One destiny. And in the end, they do not just become lovers. They build a family. A home. A forever.

Throttle Hearts (SPEEDLINES 2) by _treasure_JD

SPEEDLINES 2 Two years ago, Joong walked away without a word, leaving Dunk with unanswered questions and a heart full of pain. Now, Joong is back in Thailand. Colder, and carrying the weight of choices he can't undo. Dunk isn't the same boy he left behind either. He's built a life without Joong, one that doesn't have space for the past... or so he tells himself. When their paths collide again, buried feelings and unspoken truths resurface. Can they face the storm of what was left unsaid, or will the distance between their new lives keep them apart for good?

$Chains {JoongDunk} by _leyy_leyy$

The Archen estate is not a home. It's a gilded cage. Behind the polished walls and silk curtains, cruelty drips like poison into everything it touches. When the Archen family bought Dunk Natachai from his own blood, it wasn't a wedding - it was a transaction. A boy sold off to silence his father's debts, to seal a name that was never meant to be his. It should have been his sister. She's hated him ever since. But Joong saw Dunk once - one single look - and wanted him. So the house swallowed him whole. Dunk grew up in bruises and broken promises, in a family where love never came without pain. But nothing - nothing - could have prepared him for the Archen mansion. A house full of strangers with matching blood and blackened hearts. Grandfather to aunt, uncle to mother, father to siblings - they don't see him as a husband. They see him as property. An outsider. A servant with a ring on his finger. And every day, Joong - the golden son, the one who claimed him - holds Dunk with gentle hands and soft eyes. He speaks like love is enough. He doesn't hear the whispers behind the walls. He doesn't see what they do when he's gone. Dunk never tells him. So Dunk screams instead. He shatters plates and windows, throws furniture against walls that already suffocate him. He lashes out, he burns down every tender word Joong gives him. He's loud because it's the only way to still feel real. He's breaking because no one else will hear the sound of it. Joong loves him like he's something precious. Dunk hates him like he's the cage itself. This isn't a love story. It's a war inside a house that smiles for the world and bleeds behind closed doors.

Ruled by hormones by Fadelstissuebox

Joong used to have a girlfriend. Dunk used to have a best friend. Now, neither of them have what they once did. After a messy breakup, Joong is surrounded by friends trying to cheer him up-but there's only one person who can make him smile like he used to: Dunk, the best friend he pushed away without a word. When Dunk shows up, there's tension, there's silence... and then, there's understanding. They may have drifted, but the bond never really broke. Then Joong proposes something insane: Let my ex think I've moved on-with you. Let her regret leaving. It's a wild plan, but Dunk agrees. Not because he wants to help Joong win his ex back-but because Dunk's been hiding burning desires he's never had the space to explore. And this might be the one chance to finally understand them-with someone he trusts. Even after getting back what both of them wanted,fate finds their way back to each other,tangled in confusion and desire. It was supposed to be a trade. A way to get back what they lost. But somewhere between blurred lines and late-night confessions,sweaty bodies tangled together, the question isn't who they want to fool- It's what they're starting to feel. Love, lust, and loyalty-this isn't just a fake plan. It's something real they never saw coming.
