Pink Promises

“I always had three golden rules: don’t kill unless it’s necessary, don’t mess with human trafficking, and never touch my sister.” — Leonard Romano. “I could ask for your permission, but I prefer asking for forgiveness… in hell, where we’ll next meet.” — Alexander Vicetti. “Forbidden never felt this good.” — Hazel Romano. Loyalty has rules. Love breaks them. I was never meant to exist in their world. Kept at arm’s length from crime and bloodshed, labeled too soft for the shadows that ruled my family, I grew up as something sacred among monsters—protected, ignored, untouchable. But darkness does not respect boundaries. It whispered promises of freedom, danger, and devotion—everything I had been denied. And at the center of it all stood him. The one man I was never supposed to want. He was temptation. The sin. And touching him wouldn’t just shatter every rule that kept me safe. It would damn us both.

Jamie Reyes doesn’t do one-night stands. But after a soul-crushing breakup and too many glasses of whiskey, he lets himself fall—just once—for a stranger’s hands, lips, and whispered promises in the dark. No names. No strings. No future. Until Monday morning, when his anonymous hookup steps into the conference room… as Julian Black, his new department supervisor. Julian is everything Jamie shouldn’t want—older, emotionally locked down, and strictly off-limits. Yet the tension simmers, sharp as ever, and pretending it didn’t happen is impossible when every brush of fingers feels like a memory. They’re supposed to be professionals. They’re not supposed to want more. And if they’re caught, everything Jamie’s worked for could fall apart. But what happens when the lines blur, and a one-night mistake becomes the one thing neither of them can walk away from? A steamy, slow-burn MM office romance filled with forbidden tension, secret glances, and the kind of chemistry that doesn’t stay buried.

Sometimes the strongest promises are the ones we’re afraid to say out loud. Tae Min and Haru have always been inseparable — top students, childhood best friends, and the quiet center of each other’s world. But as their shared birthday approaches, small misunderstandings begin to reveal something deeper beneath their easy laughter. A jealous glance. A stolen phone. A secret rooftop meeting. What starts as playful teasing slowly turns into a confrontation neither of them is prepared for. Tae Min hides his feelings behind irritation, while Haru struggles to understand why his heart races whenever Tae Min looks at him a little too long. As rumors stir at school and emotions grow harder to ignore, both boys must face a difficult question: Is their bond strong enough to survive the truth? Tender, emotional, and filled with slow-burning tension, Unbreakable Bonds is a coming-of-age story about friendship, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to risk everything for someone who already means everything.

I'm so tired of disappointing myself. I'm so tired of heartbreaks and tears. I'm just so tired. I never thought that love can be so tiring. “I p-promise... if this is the world of getting married to me, to hurt me, t-this would be the last tears I will cry anymore.” I said while crying under the rain.
