16 parts Ongoing "Off-Limits, Obviously"*
(Requested Story)
Phuwin is 17, quiet, and perpetually underestimated-especially by his older brother Aou, who treats him like he's made of glass. Aou's best friend Pond, on the other hand, sees right through Phuwin's calm exterior and finds it *infuriatingly magnetic*. At 21, Pond is everything Phuwin isn't: loud, reckless, and emotionally transparent in the most chaotic way.
When Pond starts hanging around more-thanks to Aou's brilliant idea to "keep him out of trouble"-Phuwin finds himself caught between irritation and intrigue. Pond flirts like it's a sport. Phuwin dodges like it's war. Aou panics like it's the apocalypse.
As the ensemble of friends stirs the pot with meme boards, sleepover sabotage, and accidental matchmaking, the tension between Pond and Phuwin builds. And when Aou finally realizes he's been enabling the very thing he swore to prevent, it's already too late.
Because Pond isn't just falling for Phuwin-he's already in deep. And Phuwin? He's done pretending he doesn't feel it too.
