New has one rule.
Never fall for straight men.
Not again. Not ever.
Years of heartbreak have taught him that lesson well.
Every time he lets himself hope, he ends up watching the man he loves choose a woman and the future New was never meant to be part of.
So he stopped hoping.
Or at least he tried to.
As a bartender, New spends his nights surrounded by lonely people and broken hearts. His job is to listen, smile, and make strangers feel a little less miserable before they leave.
Then Off walks into his bar.
Freshly heartbroken after his fiancée left him for another man, Off is charming without meaning to be, kind when New least expects it, and far too easy to care about.
New knows he should keep his distance.
He knows exactly how this story ends.
Straight men do not fall in love with him.
They never stay.
Then one rainy night, after closing the bar, New finds Off collapsed beside a trash bin in a dark alley.
His first instinct is to walk away.
Then Off looks up and whispers, "Help me. Please."
New's conscience betrays him.
The next morning, Off wakes up in New's apartment with a pounding headache and no memory of how he got there.
Finding himself shirtless in a stranger's bed, he stares at New in horror.
"What did you do to me?" he demands.
"You're gay, right? Did you take advantage of me?"
The accusation hits harder than it should.
Every assumption. Every insult.
Every straight man who made New feel like a mistake comes rushing back.
A slow smile spreads across his face.
"Oh?" he says. "Funny. Last night, you were the one begging for more."
Off's face drains of color.
"So tell me, Off. How exactly are you planning to take responsibility?"
"Some people enter your life when you're healing.
Others make you question whether you ever healed at all."
Ika's Note:
As much as I love all Newwiee's ghostships, I also love TayNew.
Tay will never be in any of the AUs I write here.
He's happy in another universe with his own New.

Almost, Somehow
Four hearts. Four directions. No clean escape. Tay and New begin on the wrong foot-mostly because Tay can't stop poking at the question: why is New always hovering around Gun? What Tay doesn't know is that Gun was the one who reached out first, befriending New in a quiet, desperate hope that proximity might somehow pull him closer to Off-New's best friend and the university's untouchable soccer star. From there, everything tangles. Between varsity practices, accidental collisions in hallways, and looks that linger just a second too long, rivalry softens into something dangerously close to intimacy. New rules the basketball court. Off owns the soccer field. Tay-officially the school photographer-finds himself covering every game possible, not for the sport, but for Gun, the head cheerleader who lights up the sidelines. The problem is simple. And impossible. Tay likes Gun. Gun likes Off. Off doesn't care about anything that doesn't involve New. And New is falling-slowly, irreversibly-for Tay. Friendship blurs into jealousy. Loyalty collides with desire. Every choice hurts someone, and no one gets out untouched. Love is complicated. This one is brutal.Complete
My Yes and Your No
Three generations of friendship built a perfect legacy. Tay and New ruined it. They've been rivals since preschool-locked in a cold war that followed them through elementary school, high school, and straight into university. To their families, they're polite, distant sons. To each other, they're enemies who know every weakness, every trigger, every move. Tay is the campus popular boy-chaotic, charming, impossible to ignore. New is the untouchable varsity star-cold, precise, impossible to challenge. They share a curse: the same taste. Every person New has ever liked, Tay has wanted too. Now it's happening again-with Inn, a quiet Business major who becomes the newest prize in their lifelong war. "It started on a playground. It followed us to university. We never learned how to share-especially not love."Complete
You're Not Sorry
Tay and New have spent years proving one thing: they absolutely cannot stand each other. Too bad their best friends, Off Jumpol and Gun Atthaphan, are convinced they're meant to be. After countless disastrous setups, one last attempt-a romantic cruise before Off and Gun move away-goes spectacularly wrong. Because instead of falling in love... Tay and New get drunk, mix things up, and wake up in the same bed with a mistake they definitely don't want to remember. They make a pact: it never happened. Simple-until fate laughs in their faces. Forced to work together when their companies merge, Tay Tawan and New Thitipoom are stuck in endless meetings, nonstop bickering, and one very inconvenient truth: the chemistry between them didn't disappear-it got worse. Because nothing complicates hate quite like a night that felt a little too right.Complete

Twenty days. That was the deal. When the Death God Tay arrives to collect the soul of New, dying from a broken heart, he expects a routine harvest. Instead, he finds a man who refuses to go quietly-not out of fear, but out of a selfless, stubborn kindness.

But as the clock ticks toward midnight on the final day, a devastating choice must be made. One will walk into the light, and the other will face his truth.

The Best Dumb Love

On his wedding day, famous news anchor Tay is left at the altar when his celebrity bride disappears-right as the media crashes in to capture every second. Desperate, cornered, and with cameras everywhere, he does the only reckless thing he can think of. He points to a stranger behind him. "Jan was not my bride... it was him." And then he kisses New-a fashion designer and owner of Le' Miel, a boutique-who has absolutely no idea what's happening. Now the scandal of the year, the only way to survive is to make the lie real: a one-year fake marriage, a strict contract, and rules they definitely shouldn't break. No feelings. No attachment. No falling in love. But between stolen glances, shared spaces, and a kiss that never quite felt fake, pretending gets dangerously complicated. "Some lies are meant to protect you... but this one became a dumb love never meant to keep."Complete
Operation: Make Hin Mine.
Step 1: Fall in love. Step 2: Get rejected. Step 3: Try again anyway. Tay Tawan has never been the kind of guy who chases, so the fact that he's now desperately trying to win over New Thitipoom?

Tay just keeps trying. With rivals everywhere, including one very real threat named Off, Tay is running out of time. Will he ever get his chance... or was it already over before it even began? This isn't where their story begins; it's where it ends.Complete
