The Second Chance I Never Wanted

Five years.
Five years of love, devotion, and dreams built around one person. Or at least, that's what Phuwin believed. Ever since high school, Phuwin had loved Joss with everything he had. He gave up his dream of becoming an engineer and chose medical instead, all to stay by Joss's side. Now a first-year medical student, Phuwin enters university as half of the campus's most well-known couple-the beloved boyfriend of fourth-year student Joss.
But love isn't supposed to feel lonely. As days pass, Phuwin can't ignore the growing distance between them. The late replies, the cold smiles, the feeling that he's holding on to someone who is already slipping away. Then comes the heartbreak he never saw coming.
Joss wants to end their relationship. Bound by a promise he made to his mother, Joss walks away, leaving Phuwin desperate and shattered. Refusing to accept the end, Phuwin does everything he can to win him back-begging, chasing, making reckless choices, and even using another person to spark Joss's jealousy.
That person is Pond.
What begins as a desperate attempt to reclaim a lost love soon becomes something far more complicated. Because while Phuwin is busy trying to make Joss jealous, he fails to notice the way Pond quietly stays by his side through every breakdown, every mistake, and every self-destructive decision.
And somewhere between heartbreak and healing, jealousy and longing, Phuwin begins to question everything he once believed.
Was it really love that kept him holding on to Joss for all these years?Or was it simply the fear of letting go? As old wounds reopen and new feelings emerge, Phuwin must decide whether to keep chasing a love that no longer exists or take a chance on the person who sees every broken piece of him and chooses to stay.
A story of first love, unrequited feelings, obsession, heartbreak, healing, and finding the courage to let go.
Sometimes the hardest person to move on from isn't the one you still love-it's the one you loved too long.
