TITLE: GOLDEN CAGE
STORY DESCRIPTION:
Dunk Natachai was born into wealth, power, and silence. From the outside, his life looks perfect-expensive clothes, guarded mansions, elite education, and a family name that opens every door. But inside his home, every step he takes is controlled, every mistake punished, and every desire rewritten into obedience.
Freedom is something Dunk has never truly known.
Everything changes the night he meets Joong Archen.
Joong lives on the opposite side of Dunk's world-uncontrolled, unpredictable, and dangerously free. He and his circle do whatever they want, fear no authority, and answer to no one. To Dunk, they are everything he has been denied: laughter without permission, choices without consequences, and life without chains.
Drawn like a moth to fire, Dunk begins following Joong and his friends in secret. What starts as curiosity slowly turns into addiction... and then into something far more dangerous-love.
For the first time, Dunk starts living instead of obeying.
But freedom always comes with a price.
When Dunk's father discovers the connection, he gives him an impossible choice:
- Leave Joong and ensure their safety
OR
- Stay with Joong and watch everything he loves be destroyed piece by piece
Now Dunk is trapped between two worlds-one that owns his blood, and one that owns his heart.
And Joong, who has never belonged to anyone... might be the first person Dunk is willing to lose everything for.

Chaos 101
Phuwin and Dunk have been inseparable since childhood - walking to class together, eating together, laughing together... basically living in each other's pockets. To everyone else, they look like a couple. Unfortunately, that includes Joong and Pond. Joong has been quietly (and painfully) crushing on Dunk for months. Pond is head over heels for Phuwin but refuses to admit it. So when Joong and Pond both misunderstand the situation and think Phuwin and Dunk are dating, they join forces in the most chaotic alliance ever: Operation: Break Them Up. What follows is pure university-level disaster: • Joong "accidentally" pulling Dunk away from Phuwin • Pond dragging Phuwin in the opposite direction • Suspicious group study sessions • Failed matchmaking attempts • Jealousy, panic, and way too many misunderstandings • Dunk and Phuwin being confused 24/7 • And two idiots (Joong and Pond) slowly losing their minds But when everything explodes in dramatic confessions and chaotic honesty, the truth finally comes out: Phuwin and Dunk? Best friends. Not lovers. Joong and Dunk? Definitely something. Pond and Phuwin? Maybe everything. A funny, messy, heart-fluttering university AU about love, friendships, and misunderstandings that go way too far. 💛 ✨Credits✨ This story was wished by DivineD18, and honestly... the idea was just too cute to ignore. Since it's Joylada-style chaos, I thought - you know what? Let me give this a shot. The plot, storyline, emotions, and full development are completely created by me. I really hope you're going to like this version, Divine18. Thank you for trusting me with your wish. ❤️✨Complete

At Saint Regent University, wealth is a weapon, and reputation is a death sentence. Behind marble pillars and the encrypted shadows of "The Regent Pulse," the world's elite play a game where the only rule is survival. Dunk Natachai, the "Prince of Law," is back after a year of self-imposed exile in New York. He fled to escape a mistake that could ruin him: a night of forbidden passion with Joong Archen, the ruthless King of the Business Faculty and the fiancé of Dunk's own stepsister. Dunk returns with a colder heart and a single goal-to reclaim his independence. But at Saint Regent, you don't just walk away from a man like Joong. By trying to provoke the "beast" to gain his freedom, Dunk inadvertently triggers a high-stakes war that threatens to set the entire campus ablaze. In a world of encrypted secrets, can Dunk outrun a man who owns the finish line? While the elite play for power, the campus is divided by a blood feud between the football and basketball teams. At the center are Phuwin, the clinical captain of the football team, and Pond, the hot-headed leader of the basketball squad. Their mutual hatred is legendary, but a housing error forces them into the ultimate nightmare: sharing a dorm room. When one explosive night shifts their rivalry from the court to the sheets, they strike a dangerous deal-an "enemies with benefits" contract. But in a school built on lies, the hardest thing to fake is the truth. Warning: a lot off 18+ contentComplete

VELVET SHADOW 🖤
The office lights hummed softly, long after most had gone home. Dunk leaned lazily against his desk, his tie loosened, laughter slipping from his lips as Ryu whispered something teasing in his ear. He didn't notice the shadow standing at the far end of the corridor, eyes burning with quiet possession. Joong's gaze never wavered. Dunk could flirt all he wanted,but sooner or later, he would learn who he belonged to. Across the city, another kind of storm raged. Phuwin's hands trembled as he clutched the edge of the dinner table, Pond's voice cutting sharp through the silence. Accusations, jealousy, demands... each word was a chain tightening around his throat. Yet when Pond's hand slammed against the wall beside his face, when his breath came hot and ragged against Phuwin's skin, Phuwin hated himself for the way his heart still pounded for him. Love and hate blurred until there was nothing left but fire. And so their stories began... A flirt too careless, a boss too possessive. A marriage too toxic, a love too forbidden. Four hearts colliding in a game where desire was dangerous, and obsession was everything.Complete

House Rules - Beau Maxwell
Sloan DiLaurentis didn't mean to find a home in Briar's hockey house. But somewhere between the midnight kitchen conversations, shared hoodies, and Beau Maxwell showing up at her door every night asking to cuddle, the house-and the people inside it-started feeling like hers. Beau was never supposed to be more than harmless flirting. Except now he knows her coffee order, sleeps better beside her, and looks at her like she's his favorite thing in the world. And Sloan's starting to realize she might feel the same way. Too bad keeping secrets in a house full of hockey players is almost impossible. Especially when everyone already knows they're in love. Everyone except Dean.![Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/157195452-256-k119117.jpg)
Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.

Turns Out Curse Immunity Is Awesome!
Nagashima Yuki finally transmigrated. More precisely, she reincarnated, straight into the deadly world of Jujutsu Kaisen. The moment she realized where she was, Yuki was thrilled. "Yes! I even got an awesome cursed technique! Time to join the protagonist squad!" All she had to do now was wait for recruitment. After all, wasn't a certain irresponsible white-haired teacher supposed to show up and bring talented kids to Jujutsu High? So she waited. And waited. And waited. "Why hasn't that white-haired teacher come to pick me up yet?! Hurry up and take me to Jujutsu High already!" But instead of an invitation... She attracted the attention of curse users. Now she's being hunted. Constantly. "Where are you, Gojo Satoru?! If Tokyo Jujutsu High won't take me, what about Kyoto?! Somebody recruit me already, please!!" When her life finally becomes impossible to maintain thanks to endless attacks, Yuki reaches a devastating conclusion: "This JJK production crew is way too dangerous! I quit the protagonist team!" And just before she walks into the darkness to fight it on her own terms, she glances back one last time at the school she once dreamed of joining. With tears in her eyes, she shouts toward the sky- "Gojo Satoru! Do you even know what you've lost?!" *** Gojo Satoru was born the strongest. In his entire life, only two things ever slipped through his fingers because he wasn't strong enough. One was the man who nearly killed him - Toji Fushiguro. The other was the mysterious person who appeared after his revival and took Toji away. Sorcerers inherit techniques. That person could dismantle them. Sorcerers attack with cursed energy. That person was immune. Sorcerers stand for justice. That person simply turned around, and walked into the darkness. Her name was Nagashima Yuki. And in the eyes of the jujutsu world, she was someone who stood completely opposite to sorcerers.Complete
