Thirteen years.
Thirteen years, and somehow... it still wasn't enough.
Thirteen years...
and I don't even know who I am without him.
Was I ever enough?
Or was I just someone he loved... until he didn't?
And how do I save myself...
when the person I gave my whole life to...
is the same person who destroyed it?
A story about love that didn't end... it just slowly disappeared.

His in the Dark 🔞 (UPDATING)
"You can't be with anyone else... because you're mine." That's what Perth said. But loving him has never felt like being chosen. Santa has always been the boy everyone protects. Soft-hearted, kind, and surrounded by people who love him. He has never had to fight for a place in someone's life. Until Perth. Basketball captain. Campus heartthrob. And his brother's best friend. The one person Santa was never supposed to fall for. For years, Santa kept his feelings hidden, surviving on stolen glances and fleeting moments that meant everything to him and seemingly nothing to Perth. Then one night changed everything. A night Perth refuses to talk about. A memory he pretends never happened. By day, Perth acts like nothing has changed. Like Santa is still just his best friend's little brother. But when they're alone? The distance disappears. Because Perth remembers. And the truth is even more dangerous than Santa imagined: He doesn't want to let him go. Now, caught between being hidden and being held too tightly, Santa is forced to ask himself one painful question: How long can you keep loving someone who refuses to choose you... But can't bear to lose you either? 🖤🤍🏀

And Then I Saw You Again
Santa Pongsapak was 23 when he fell in love for the first time not with someone his powerful family approved of, but with a bright, stubborn engineer named Perth who made Santa laugh in the middle of his chaotic internship shifts. Their love was unexpected, chaotic, and unforgettable. And despite warnings, threats, and the weight of expectations, Santa married him. But love wasn't enough. Painful misunderstandings pulled them in opposite directions, until all that remained was distance... and a heartbreaking separation. They weren't supposed to cross paths again. But they did..five years later. And when they did, everything came rushing back with them. The love. The care. The laughter they once shared in stolen midnight hours. The late-night banters that slowly turned into early morning arguments. The quiet comfort of standing side by side... that eventually twisted into the sharp bitterness of blame. The understanding that once held them together faded into silence. And in that silence, misunderstandings grew like thorns. Time changed them. The one who used to light up every room with laughter now hides behind walls of cold silence. The one who once brought peace now burns with a fire he can't put out. They've become strangers with familiar eyes shaped by years, scarred by silence, hardened by the weight of everything they never said. And yet... There's still a part of them quiet, stubborn, and aching that refuses to let go. That part still remembers the softness. Still clings to the warmth. Still hopes... even when everything else has turned to ash. Tropes: Second Chance Romance CEO x Doctor Angst Protective love marriageComplete
