The sleek, shimmering towers of downtown Bangkok served as a stunning backdrop for the high-end event, held by a renowned make-up product brand. The venue was a dazzling spectacle of elegance and opulence, exuding a cosmopolitan glamour unique to Thailand's capital city. It was awash in a glow of ambient light reflecting off crystal chandeliers, casting a soft, warm light on the faces of those present. Celebrities, influencers, and models, among them the renowned star, Bright, mingled and meandered, their laughter and light chatter creating a captivating hum in the opulent ballroom.

Among the crowd, a striking figure stood out, none other than Than. With his strikingly handsome features, Than exuded a charisma that matched the event's grandeur and seamlessly blended with the other attendees. His almond eyes were calm but lively, his sharp jawline accentuated by the subtle strobing of makeup, and his lips, tinted a soft nude shade, parted in a charming smile.

As part of the event, a fashion show was held, featuring the country's top models, including Than. Dressed in a stunningly gorgeous idol-like costume designed by a renowned designer, his appearance was further accentuated by a sublime makeup look created by the country's top makeup artists using the brand's products. Cameras flashed incessantly, trying to capture every moment of the spectacle, but despite his professional demeanor and brilliant performance, Than's mind frequently wandered towards Kin and the party at the Hub.

Hours slipped by, unnoticed amidst the glamour and glitz, and as the event approached its close, Than's gaze fell upon Bright, engrossed in his interactions with the media and friends. Press interviews were a whirlwind of questions about Bright's upcoming BL series set to launch on a popular streaming platform. Bright fielded each question with his characteristic warmth and professionalism.

Desiring some private time with Bright, Than decided to defer it for later and made up his mind to join the party at the Hub. It was nearing 11 pm, but the energetic rhythm of Bangkok's night scene convinced him that the party would likely continue for several more hours.

After a half-hour taxi ride in a high-end vehicle, Than arrived at the Hub. His stunning costume and striking features immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd. He confidently strode through the near-hundred guests gathered in the venue, the atmosphere was abuzz with a kind of chaotic energy that he couldn't quite pinpoint. But as he ventured deeper into the party, Than couldn't shake the sense of something amiss, an undercurrent of tension that left him wondering what had transpired in his absence.

"Than! You finally made it here,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKRpvGQQtB
one of his model friends from the architecture faculty greeted him. A tall figure with a sharp jawline and stylishly messy hair, his eyes twinkled with amusement as he took in Than's appearance.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnGH4TCHI
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight, like a superstar. How was the event?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxJnpWD2n
"Marvelous, as it should be,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2vArcrblD
Than replied nonchalantly, his gaze flickering across the crowded club. Despite the lively atmosphere and pulsating music, something felt off. He decided to voice his observation, his voice holding a trace of concern.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFugMNa6zX
"But something seems...strange. Is there something going on that I should know about?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dl3siAgC2
His friend paused for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9rHkpgazM
"Well, there seems to be some 'issue' that occurred between the business school seniors and some of my peers. I don't know the details, but it seems quite...intense."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLDi6i9v5
Than’s eyebrows lifted at the vague explanation. The words 'business school seniors' and 'intense' in the same context piqued his curiosity, stirring a sense of worry within him. Could his beloved P'Kin be involved? Excusing himself from his friend, Than decided to delve further into the hubbub of the party.

"I warned you... you were playing with fire,”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2xrN5i0pE
Korn spoke to Loft in a low voice, a serious tone lacing his words. His handsome face was drawn in worry, his dark eyes tracing Loft's pale face and unfocused eyes. He had seen the depth of Kin's intense personality during their previous passionate encounters. He knew that the fiery, dominant side that Kin just displayed shouldn't have been provoked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR7H6N8Xe0
"Now I know... it feels like I really got burned by his fire,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCWp2PTgof
Loft admitted, a shaky laugh trying to mask his shaky state. His chest still tightened with the lingering imprint of the ferocious emotions Kin had poured into their heated kiss.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCr1gqGCT
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGMGZAbfY
"Sorry for my friend, Nong-Loft. Maybe you were the one who started this, but he shouldn't have been this harsh on you. He is a senior after all,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ1ScGZxdF
Jirat spoke, his words marked with sincere concern and a tinge of regret for not stopping the situation sooner.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKOjxL56FJ
Meanwhile, on Kin's side, he had cooled down, still surrounded by the four juniors with soft, calming demeanors who were trying to bring him back to earth. The rest of the crowd had retreated, some of them encouraging others to continue enjoying their night and leave this matter behind, while a few stayed to help resolve the situation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNHdFrC7TO
"I'm sorry, guys, for letting this happen,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXxfiLLBLc
Kin finally managed to say, his voice strained with restrained emotion. His body was still taut, a physical manifestation of the tension that still lingered in his mind and soul.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSin6VZ2C9
"No, P'Kin, it's us who have to apologize. We let this happen to you," one junior piped up, his arms wrapping around Kin's broad, muscular shoulders in a comforting hug.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4oGqFV91
"And I...I went too far, touching you and encouraging Loft to do the same. I'm really sorry," the athlete junior added, his face flushed with shame.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkaS2ad4Bn
Other juniors followed suit, layering their apologies on top of each other, their collective voices forming a remorseful chorus that filled the room. Their warmth, genuine remorse, and accumulated hugs felt like a healing balm on Kin's still simmering anger and passion.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwCNvAXBP
Meanwhile, from afar, Than noticed a familiar figure surrounded by a group of juniors. His heart rate quickened as he recognized the muscular build and distinct presence of Kin, whom the juniors seemed to be comforting. Shaking off the surprise and worry, Than decided to approach the group. His entrance did not go unnoticed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQONBwD94
"Nong-Than,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7VsXVUJsk
Kin greeted him, his eyes instantly recognizing the stunning figure of his junior. He acknowledged Than's presence, which, even in the midst of chaos, radiated an effortless aura that commanded attention. The juniors felt the magnetic energy of Than and composed themselves as he approached.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaScsITd2m
"Guys, this is Than, my junior from engineering,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof4QM93P0q
Kin introduced Than to the juniors, who reciprocated with polite nods and a few impressed glances. They exchanged knowing glances among themselves, their eyes reflecting their internal thoughts, their minds speculating about Than's potential connection to Kin.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsHgHLahPk
"Hello, guys. Hi, P'Kin," Than greeted, his usual warm smile gracing his face, albeit accompanied by a hint of concern. He addressed his next question to the group, though his gaze never left Kin.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vmz09TXBe
"Is there something going on?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqKnbLaICb
A weighted silence fell upon the group, the complexity of the situation making it difficult for anyone to articulate a response.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCzSLPs6lh
Kin, his shirt unbuttoned and revealing a muscular torso, appeared as if he was recovering from some intense emotional onslaught. The room around him vibrated with awkward energy, the surrounding juniors offering him expectant glances, expecting him to explain the situation. As he gathered his thoughts, he answered haltingly, a slight grimace crossing his face,
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk6FAt0SUI
"Well, it's a bit of a complex situation. All I can say is that I've acted somewhat... recklessly and I feel incredibly embarrassed about it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMS56tLmZ
His words trailed off, laden with regret and remorse. One of the juniors interjected swiftly,
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZihv7B6oR6
"Don't say it like that P'Kin." There was a reassuring warmth in his words, trying to lessen the weight of Kin's self-reproach.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1ux55nqc
Observing the strained atmosphere, Than studied Kin's heavy expression, his disarrayed appearance, and the lingering tension in his body. Deciding not to probe further, Than chose to offer comfort instead. He moved closer to Kin, the juniors naturally making room for him, his presence a balm to the tense environment.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGge2uMLNS
"You seem to have gone through something emotionally intense. Don't worry, you don't need to explain if you're not comfortable. I'll stay with you to help you feel at ease,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEpZjsCLfi
Than offered with a gentle smile, his words brimming with sincerity and kindness. Taking a squatting position to be at eye level with Kin, his familiar and comforting presence enveloped Kin. The remaining juniors took the hint, slowly departing, and leaving the two alone in their own bubble of shared comfort.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KZvUQXkw2
"Maybe you remember, maybe you don't," Than started, a playful lilt in his voice, "but the last time I saw you here at The Hub, you were also in this... condition."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKM1zo1LI9
His gaze roved over Kin's half-open shirt and the sculpted muscles beneath, a teasing note in his voice.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0DZimrQT
"Really, I don't remember,”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPeir2IsP2
Kin responded, a hint of genuine embarrassment creeping into his voice as he began to button up his shirt from the bottom, his eyes averted.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwxyjUvqP
"Don't worry P'Kin, you still look... hot, in any condition,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmNqRs92k
Than replied, his voice rich with affection and a touch of flirtation. A playful smile danced on his lips, aimed at easing Kin's discomfort and lighting up the somber mood.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMhHYqVLpM
Seeing the rippling muscles of Kin's pecs and defined abs, Than found his mind wandering into realms of delicious naughtiness. He recalled the throes of their intense, passionate encounters when Kin, in all his masculine glory, had dominated him relentlessly. The thought sent a thrill through him, and he quickly composed himself, returning his focus to the conversation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIKtw8H0S2
"I have been thinking about you the whole time at the event. I don't know why,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IjS81KIs9
Than confessed, a soft blush colouring his cheeks, a quiet admittance of the hold Kin had over his thoughts.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5F318VJPW
"How was the event? Did it go well?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3qlU7x1oP
Kin asked, eager to shift the focus and alleviate the intimate tension that had crept into their conversation. The question also served as a momentary distraction from his lingering embarrassment.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8y3Kk1MrY
From afar, Loft sat with Korn and Jirat, their conversation winding down. His eyes fell on the sight of Than sitting close to Kin, a pang of surprise shot through him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcLP3opaYw
"Isn't that Nong-Than sitting beside Kin?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaodk3cqI
Jirat noted, squinting at the pair in the distance, a frown of curiosity creasing his forehead.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTLqyR2jG2
"He might have just arrived from another event," Korn suggested, his expert gaze taking in his high-end attire and perfectly groomed appearance, indicative of Than’s recent attendance at a more formal gathering.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrYXrCLkT7
Loft's mind was a turmoil of regret, guilt, and a sense of loss. One impulsive move, one reckless utterance, and he had squandered a wonderful opportunity to connect with Kin. The torment on his face was quite evident, and Korn, noticing this, tried to reassure him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlc5qECbFg
"Let P'Kin have his time, Loft. Don't worry, he's not the type to hold grudges for too long,"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L4F3ITQYA
Korn tried to reassure Loft, yet Loft's gaze remained fixed on Kin and Than. A swirl of emotions coursed through him, jealousy prominent amongst them, as he watched their close interaction from afar.
