Against The Tide
Est is a top national swimmer-disciplined, focused, and completely married to his routine. In his final year of university, he has no time for distractions, especially not lazy freshmen who stumble into his world. William, on the other hand, is the very definition of pampered. Starting his first year at university, he's horrified to learn that every student is expected to take up a part-time job. Desperate and clueless, he ends up as an assistant in the university's sports department... where he's immediately assigned to help none other than Est. What begins as mutual annoyance slowly unravels into something softer, warmer-something that feels a lot like love. But when two people from such different worlds collide, the water can get choppy. A slow-burn romance filled with swimming goggles, accidental pep talks, stolen glances, and the quiet realization that maybe, just maybe, they were meant to meet like this.Complete
˜"*°• The Forest and the Firefly •°*"˜//𝒲𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓂 𝐸𝓈𝓉
William has always lived in the spotlight-but behind the camera flashes and screaming crowds, he feels like a firefly: small, fleeting, and always chased. Est is the opposite. He's the forest-steady, grounded, a quiet kind of strong. After giving up his dreams of competitive swimming, he's learned to find peace in simplicity, running a small guesthouse in the mountains of Chiang Mai. When William stumbles into Est's world-half-lost, half-searching-they're both caught off guard by what they find in each other. What begins as wary coexistence slowly unravels into something neither expected: comfort, tension, healing, and the kind of love that lingers long after the moment ends. Together, they learn that love doesn't have to be rushed or fleeting-it can be steady, lasting, and true. Because even fireflies need a place to rest. And even forests need a little light. A tender, atmospheric romance about coming home to yourself-and to someone who sees you, truly.Complete
