📖 Chapter 1: Why Is It Always Me?

Suksa International University (SIU), Bangkok 🇹🇭

Morning — 7:30 AM

The sun was already burning hot over Bangkok, reflecting off the glass buildings of Suksa International University.

Students rushed through the wide campus roads, motorbikes honking outside the gates, coffee shops already crowded.

Everything looked normal.

Peaceful.

Perfect.

Until—

💥 POND NARAVIT — “NORMAL DOES NOT EXIST FOR ME”

A black luxury car stopped at the SIU main gate.

The door opened.

Pond Naravit stepped out.

Tall. Handsome. Expensive-looking.

And already annoyed.

He adjusted his designer bag and took one confident step forward.

SPLASH.

A motorbike rushed past the gate puddle and sent muddy water directly onto his white shirt.

Silence.

Pond slowly looked down.

His shirt… destroyed.

The driver didn’t even stop.

Pond stared at the sky.

Then shouted:

“WHY ME GODDD?! I JUST ARRIVED!”

Students nearby looked at him.

One whispered:

“Is he acting for TikTok?”

Pond ignored them and kept walking.

Next second—

His iced coffee slipped from his hand.

SPLAT.

Right onto his shoes.

Pond froze again.

Then slowly nodded.

“Okay. Good start. Love my life.”

As he walked toward the campus entrance scanner—

BEEP. ERROR.

He tried again.

BEEP. ERROR.

Third time.

BEEP. ERROR.

Pond leaned closer to the machine.

“Are you serious right now?”

A security guard nervously said:

“Sir… maybe try again?”

Pond took a deep breath.

Then screamed internally.

“THIS IS WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN PEACEFUL MORNINGS.”

😂 ENTER: WILLIAM JAKRAPATR — THE CHAOS ENCOURAGER

A loud laugh echoed from behind him.

“BROOOO— you didn’t even survive 5 minutes this time!”

Pond turned slowly.

William was standing there—hands in pockets, grinning like he was watching a comedy show.

Pond deadpanned:

“Don’t talk to me.”

William walked closer, laughing harder.

“Even the universe has personal beef with you at this point.”

Pond pointed at his shirt:

“Do you SEE this?”

William nodded seriously.

“Yes. It looks expensive.”

“And ruined.”

Pond sighed:

“I hate today.”

William wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

“No, bro. Today hates YOU.”

Both started walking inside campus.

And immediately—

William tripped on a loose tile.

Pond tried to grab him.

Both fell slightly forward.

Coffee spilled again.

William blinked.

“…Okay yeah. You’re cursed.”

Pond:

“I told you.”

🏥 MEDICAL FACULTY — CALM WORLD

Across campus.

A completely different atmosphere.

Quiet.

Organized.

Peaceful.

💙 PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN — THE UNTOUCHABLE

Phuwin walked through the medical faculty corridor.

Perfect posture.

Clean uniform.

Calm expression.

Students moved aside respectfully.

He didn’t even look disturbed by the noise outside.

Beside him walked Est.

Elegant. Cold. Silent.

Est spoke first:

“Someone just screamed outside again.”

Phuwin adjusted his folder:

“Engineering faculty most likely.”

Est nodded:

“Expected.”

They continued walking like nothing in the world could disturb them.

Perfect calm energy.

⚡ CAMPUS INTERSECTION

Lunch break.

SIU cafeteria hallway — crowded.

Students everywhere.

Noise. Chaos. Movement.

Pond and William were running late.

William shouted:

“Bro why are we always late?!”

Pond shouted back:

“ASK MY LIFE CURSE!”

At the same time—

Phuwin and Est walked calmly from the opposite side.

And then—

A spilled drink on the floor.

Wet tile.

Hidden danger.

Pond stepped on it.

“Wait—”

SLIP.

Everything slowed.

Pond was about to fall backward hard.

William:

“OH NO—”

Students:

“Huh?!”

Phuwin reacted instantly.

He grabbed Pond’s arm.

Firm. Stable.

Pond froze.

He didn’t fall.

But his phone slipped from his pocket—

Everyone expected it to crack.

It landed perfectly on a table.

Screen intact.

Not even a scratch.

Silence.

Pond stared at his phone.

Then at Phuwin.

Then back at his phone.

“…What just happened?”

William shouted:

“BRO YOU GOT SAVED BY A MED STUDENT?!”

Est looked at them calmly:

“You’re blocking the walkway.”

Phuwin immediately released his grip.

“Be careful.”

No emotion.

No extra words.

He walked away with Est like nothing happened.

😳 POND’S SHOCK

Pond stood frozen.

Still staring.

William waved his hand in front of his face:

“Earth to Pond?”

Pond slowly said:

“…That never happens.”

William:

“What? Not dying?”

Pond:

“Something going right.”

He looked at Phuwin’s back disappearing into the crowd.

For the first time—

No disaster followed him.

William smirked:

“Bro… why are you smiling like that?”

Pond quickly denied:

“I’m not.”

Pause.

Then softly:

“…Who is he?”

Somewhere on campus.

A student posts on gossip page:

“Who is the medical student who stopped Pond Naravit’s bad luck moment?”

And in another corner of campus—

Phuwin calmly opens his book.

Est:

“You helped him.”

Phuwin:

“It was nothing.”

But something had already changed.

Just a little.

POND NARAVIT

PHUWIN TANG

WILLIAM

EST

📖 Chapter 2: “Wait… Where Did He Go?”

The incident from yesterday didn’t leave Pond Naravit’s mind.

Not even a little.

Which was… extremely unusual.

Because normally, Pond forgot things easily—like assignments, meetings, birthdays, and sometimes even where he parked his own car.

But this?

A perfectly normal-looking medical student…

Who somehow stopped his bad luck for exactly 3.2 seconds?

That stayed.

🌤 Morning — University Campus

Pond arrived at the university gate again.

This time, he was extra careful.

Checked the floor twice

Avoided puddles

Walked slowly

Even looked at the sky suspiciously

William walked beside him, yawning loudly.

“Bro, why are you walking like the ground is your enemy?”

Pond narrowed his eyes.

“It is.”

William blinked.

“Fair.”

They entered campus.

And nothing happened.

No spills.

No accidents.

No chaos.

Pond stopped walking.

Slowly looked around.

“…This is suspicious.”

William frowned.

“What is?”

Pond whispered:

“Too peaceful.”

And immediately—

A bird flew overhead.

Dropped something.

Right onto William’s shoulder.

William froze.

Looked down.

Looked up.

Then screamed:

“OKAY NOPE. CURSE IS BACK. IT MISSED YOU AND HIT ME INSTEAD?!”

Pond nodded seriously.

“It’s spreading.”

😂 CAMPUS GOSSIP ENERGY

As they walked toward the building, students were already whispering.

“Isn’t that Pond Naravit?”

“The rich one who is always unlucky?”

“I saw his coffee explode yesterday.”

“Why is he famous for suffering?”

Pond heard everything.

He sighed deeply.

“I should get paid for this.”

William laughed:

“You already are. It’s called trauma.”

🏥 MEDICAL FACULTY BUILDING

Across campus.

Peaceful.

Controlled.

Silent.

Phuwin Tangsakyuen stood near the corridor window, reading notes.

Est leaned beside him, scrolling on his phone.

Everything looked calm.

Too calm.

Est spoke first:

“You became a trending topic.”

Phuwin didn’t look up.

“About what?”

Est:

“Some engineering student’s bad luck.”

Phuwin paused slightly.

“Not my concern.”

Est added:

“Apparently you ‘stopped it.’”

That made Phuwin finally look up.

“I didn’t do anything.”

Est nodded.

“Exactly.”

Phuwin went back to reading.

But for a brief second…

He remembered.

The boy who was about to fall.

The chaos in his eyes.

The ridiculous panic.

And the strange silence after he grabbed him.

He frowned slightly.

Then returned to normal expression.

“Coincidence.”

Est smirked faintly.

“Sure.”

🎓 LECTURE BUILDING — ENGINEERING SIDE

Pond sat in class completely distracted.

William was doodling something chaotic in his notebook.

Pond suddenly raised his hand.

Teacher:

“Yes?”

Pond:

“Can I ask something unrelated to the lecture?”

Teacher:

“No.”

Pond immediately sat back down.

William laughed quietly.

“You tried.”

Pond ignored him.

His eyes were fixed on his phone.

He opened campus gossip page again.

Post still there.

“Who is the medical student who stopped Pond Naravit’s bad luck moment?”

Comments:

“He’s cursed fr 💀”

“I saw him fall once in cafeteria too”

“That med student must be an angel”

“We need more updates”

Pond muttered:

“I need answers.”

William looked at him:

“About your life or your dignity?”

Pond stood up suddenly.

William blinked.

“Where are you going?”

Pond:

“Medical building.”

William immediately stood up too.

“No. Absolutely not. Last time you followed curiosity, we ended up banned from karaoke night.”

Pond didn’t listen.

“I need to find him.”

William sighed dramatically.

“Great. The curse is now romantic curiosity.”

🏥 MEDICAL BUILDING — AGAIN

Phuwin was leaving class.

Est walking beside him.

Students respectfully greeting them as they passed.

Everything calm.

Until—

A loud voice broke the silence.

“YOU!”

Everyone turned.

Phuwin paused.

Est slowly looked forward.

Pond was standing at the end of the hallway.

Breathing slightly fast.

William behind him whispering:

“Bro this is how horror movies start.”

Pond pointed directly at Phuwin.

“You.”

Phuwin blinked once.

“Me?”

Pond walked closer.

Then stopped.

Suddenly unsure.

Because now that he was closer…

He realized something.

This guy was seriously calm.

Too calm.

Like nothing in the world could shake him.

Pond lowered his hand slightly.

“…You were there yesterday.”

Phuwin:

“I am here today too.”

Est quietly said:

“That’s how time works.”

William muttered:

“Savage.”

Pond ignored them.

He stepped forward again.

“Yesterday… when I was about to fall.”

Phuwin remembered immediately.

“Yes.”

Pond narrowed his eyes.

“Why didn’t I fall?”

Phuwin stared at him.

A second passed.

“Because I stopped you.”

Simple answer.

No emotion.

No pride.

Just fact.

Pond froze.

That was not the answer he expected.

He blinked.

“…You just… stopped me?”

Phuwin nodded once.

“Yes.”

Silence.

William whispered:

“Bro he answered like a textbook.”

Est:

“Because it is one.”

Pond suddenly felt weird.

Not bad weird.

Just… confused weird.

Because normally his life didn’t get saved.

It got worse.

Pond pointed again:

“Why?”

Phuwin finally looked slightly annoyed.

“Because you were about to fall.”

Pond:

“That’s it?”

Phuwin:

“Yes.”

Pond stared.

Then slowly:

“…That’s it?”

Phuwin:

“Do you want a ceremony?”

Est added:

“Or a medal?”

William almost choked laughing.

Pond ignored him.

But his eyes didn’t leave Phuwin.

Something about this guy…

Was annoying.

Not because he was rude.

But because he was completely unaffected.

Like Pond’s chaos didn’t matter at all.

Pond suddenly said:

“What’s your name?”

Phuwin paused.

Looked at him properly for the first time.

Then answered:

“Phuwin.”

Pond repeated quietly:

“Phuwin…”

A small silence followed.

Then—

A student accidentally dropped a tray behind them.

Loud crash.

Pond instinctively flinched.

Phuwin didn’t even react.

Est didn’t even look back.

William sighed:

“Yeah… I see the difference in universe settings.”

Pond suddenly stepped back.

“Okay.”

Phuwin:

“Okay?”

Pond nodded.

“I’ll see you again.”

Phuwin blinked.

“Why?”

Pond:

“I don’t know yet.”

Then he turned around and walked away.

William quickly followed:

“BRO WHAT WAS THAT?!”

Pond didn’t answer.

He only said one thing quietly:

“…Weird.”

Phuwin stood still for a moment.

Est looked at him.

“He’s strange.”

Phuwin:

“Yes.”

Est:

“He will come again.”

Phuwin paused slightly.

Then calmly:

“Probably.”

Elsewhere, walking back across campus…

William yelled:

“YOU WENT THERE JUST TO SAY ‘OKAY’?!”

Pond finally answered:

“No.”

William:

“Then what?!”

Pond looked ahead.

“…I don’t know yet.”

And for the first time…

Pond Naravit didn’t feel unlucky.

Just curious.

📖 Chapter 3: Is He... My Lucky Charm?!

The next morning, Pond Naravit woke up with a mission.

Not an assignment.

Not an exam.

Not a club activity.

A scientific investigation.

William stared at him from across the breakfast table.

"Let me get this straight."

Pond nodded seriously.

"Okay."

"You think your bad luck disappeared because of Phuwin."

"Correct."

"So now you want to follow him around campus."

"Correct."

"To test your theory."

"Correct."

William slowly put down his spoon.

"You're insane."

Pond pointed at him.

"No. I'm a researcher."

"You are a stalker."

"Researcher."

"Stalker."

"Researcher."

William sighed.

"Fine. What exactly is your plan?"

Pond grinned.

A dangerous sign.

"Today we gather evidence."

William suddenly felt bad for Phuwin.

☀️ Incident #1

The universe wasted no time.

The moment Pond entered campus...

His shoelace snapped.

Pond looked down.

Silence.

Then looked up at the sky.

"Good morning to you too."

William laughed.

"The curse has clocked in."

Pond tied a temporary knot and continued walking.

Three steps later—

His notebook slipped from his hand.

Papers flew everywhere.

Students jumped aside.

A few papers landed in a decorative fountain.

Pond:

"..."

William:

"This is actually impressive."

Pond pointed at the sky.

"I have enemies I cannot see."

While collecting his papers, he suddenly froze.

At the end of the pathway...

A familiar figure appeared.

Phuwin.

Walking toward the medical faculty.

Calm.

Elegant.

Untouched by chaos.

Pond immediately stood up.

"Target acquired."

William:

"Don't call him that."

🏃 Operation: Lucky Charm

Pond quickly followed.

Keeping a "safe" distance.

William followed too.

Mostly because he wanted to watch the disaster unfold.

Phuwin and Est were completely unaware.

Or so they thought.

Est glanced behind them.

"They're following us."

Phuwin didn't even turn around.

"I know."

Est:

"Should we call security?"

Phuwin:

"Not yet."

Incident #2

Pond was walking while staring at Phuwin.

A bicycle came speeding around a corner.

William screamed.

"LOOK OUT!"

Pond turned.

Too late.

The bicycle rider hit a pothole.

Lost balance.

And somehow...

Missed Pond completely.

The bicycle stopped safely.

Nobody got hurt.

Silence.

Pond blinked.

William blinked.

The cyclist blinked.

Pond slowly looked toward Phuwin.

Phuwin continued walking.

Completely unaware.

Pond grabbed William's shoulders.

"DID YOU SEE THAT?!"

William:

"See what?"

"I SHOULD HAVE DIED."

"It was a bicycle."

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT."

📏 Distance Test #1

Now Pond became serious.

Very serious.

He opened his Notes app.

William immediately became concerned.

Pond typed:

Experiment #1

Distance from Phuwin: approximately 15 meters.

Result: Bicycle disaster avoided.

William looked horrified.

"YOU MADE NOTES?"

"Science requires data."

"You're becoming dangerous."

🏥 Medical Faculty

Meanwhile...

Phuwin sat inside the lecture hall.

Est looked outside the window.

Pond and William were sitting on a bench across the building.

Watching.

Est:

"They're still there."

Phuwin:

"I know."

Est:

"The taller one is writing something."

Phuwin sighed.

"I don't want to know."

🌸 Enter The BL Fangirls

Unfortunately...

Some students noticed everything.

Especially a certain group of girls.

Girls who loved gossip.

Loved romance.

And most importantly...

Loved creating stories.

One girl gasped dramatically.

"WAIT."

Another girl followed her gaze.

Pond.

Watching Phuwin.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Girl #1:

"Do you see what I'm seeing?"

Girl #2:

"Obsession."

Girl #3:

"Romance."

Girl #1:

"DESTINY."

Five minutes later...

A new anonymous campus post appeared.

Campus Tea Page

Why does Pond Naravit keep following Medical Faculty Prince Phuwin Tangsakyuen?

Comments exploded instantly.

Is he bullying him?

Is he collecting debt?

Is he confessing?

Why is this exciting?

Then someone commented:

They look good together.

Another replied:

#PondPhuwin

And just like that...

A monster was born.

Incident #3

Afternoon.

Cafeteria.

Pond was carrying lunch.

William beside him.

Everything looked normal.

Which meant danger was approaching.

A student accidentally bumped into him.

The tray flew upward.

Food.

Drinks.

Chaos.

Everyone expected disaster.

Pond closed his eyes.

Preparing for impact.

Then...

Nothing happened.

He slowly opened one eye.

The tray landed perfectly on a nearby table.

Not a single drop spilled.

Students gasped.

Pond gasped louder.

William gasped loudest.

Because standing behind Pond...

Waiting in line...

Was Phuwin.

Pond immediately turned.

Then looked at the tray.

Then at Phuwin.

Then at the tray again.

His eyes widened.

"IT'S HIM."

William:

"Who?"

"IT'S DEFINITELY HIM."

"Who?!"

"PHUWIN."

William stared.

Pond looked like a man who had discovered the cure for cancer.

William Meets Est

At another table...

Est watched everything.

William noticed him.

And immediately walked over.

Est already looked annoyed.

William sat down.

Est:

"Why."

William smiled.

"Hello."

"Why."

"You always look angry."

"Because people talk to me."

William laughed.

Est somehow looked even more annoyed.

"You're Pond's friend."

"Best friend."

"My condolences."

William almost choked.

Across the cafeteria...

Pond pointed excitedly.

"William! Did you hear what happened?!"

William pointed back.

"EST INSULTED ME!"

"THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!"

"NO IT'S NOT!"

Phuwin rubbed his forehead.

Est sighed.

For the first time in years...

Both of them suddenly understood exhaustion.

🌙 End of Chapter

That evening.

Pond sat in his room.

Looking at his notes.

Experiment Results

15 meters → Lucky

10 meters → Lucky

5 meters → Extremely Lucky

Near Phuwin → Miracles

Pond slowly nodded.

Everything finally made sense.

He stood up dramatically.

Pointed at the ceiling.

"PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN IS MY LUCKY CHARM."

Silence.

Then William's message appeared.

William:

"Stop being weird."

Pond:

"I have scientific proof."

William:

"You followed a medical student around all day."

Pond:

"FOR SCIENCE."

Meanwhile...

In another dorm.

Phuwin looked at a campus post.

A photo.

Of Pond secretly staring at him.

Caption:

#PondPhuwin

Phuwin:

"..."

Est:

"You're famous."

Phuwin closed the app.

"He's a problem."

But for some reason...

He remembered Pond's ridiculous excited face in the cafeteria.

And the corner of his lips twitched upward.

Just a little.

To Be Continued... 🌸
