(my version)
Dunk Natachai, 23, is a sunshine-hearted disaster of a final-year student-too loud, too emotional, too messy for his own good. His life is already chaos when he crashes into a stranger in a black suit and ruins his entire assignment.
The stranger doesn't apologize.
Doesn't blink.
Doesn't even pause.
Dunk curses him for days...
until he walks into his new internship and finds that same man sitting at the top of the biggest company in the city-
Joong Archen, 33.
CEO. Brilliant. Untouchable.
And once married... until tragedy turned his heart to stone.
Years ago, Joong lost the only person he ever loved in a fire he couldn't reach in time.
Since then, he's built walls no one can climb, choosing silence over connection, cruelty over vulnerability.
And then Dunk appears-messy, bright, talkative, alive-everything Joong swore he would never let near him again.
Joong should ignore him.
He should push him away.
He should pretend he feels nothing.
Instead, he personally selects Dunk to work under him.
What begins as irritation turns into obsession neither of them understands.
Dunk, who fills every room with warmth, slowly breaks under Joong's cold indifference.
Joong, who has forgotten what it means to feel, finds himself watching Dunk too closely, protecting him too quietly, wanting him too deeply.
But jealousy burns.
Trauma wounds.
And fate is cruel.
A panic attack in a trapped elevator.
A confession made in anger.
A sick day that cracks a frozen heart open.
A fire that almost repeats the tragedy Joong spent years trying to forget.
When Dunk's life hangs by a thread, Joong finally breaks-
"I couldn't save him...
I can't lose you too."
A slow-burn Thai BL romance filled with raw emotion, heartbreak, healing, and the impossible love between a man who stopped believing in tomorrow and the intern who accidentally taught him how to live again.
