The afternoon sun seeped lazily into Loft's dorm room, illuminating its casual disarray. A guitar lay propped up against one wall, sheet music scattered carelessly across a desk. Posters of various music bands plastered the walls, revealing a slice of Loft's musical preferences. His usually well-kept room lay in a somewhat disheveled state, reflecting the chaos of a student's life. His gaze was blurry, a testament to a late-night songwriting spree that had only ended a few hours ago.

With a groan, he rose, his hair a tousled mess of curls that hung lazily over his forehead. He padded his way towards the kitchenette, still half-asleep, intending to get his hands on a can of energy drink. He rubbed his eyes to awaken himself further, while he held his phone in his other hand, his thumb sliding over the bright screen to check the stream of notifications.

As he took a sip of the chilled beverage, his gaze fell upon Kin's Instagram story featuring white and red roses. Loft's lips curled into a knowing smile, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"So, you really kept it, P’Kin," he murmured to himself, his tone a mix of surprise and a hint of gratification.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA169eQZCyOn
His curiosity piqued, he slid to the next story. The image portrayed Kin and another strikingly handsome guy, each of them cradling a cat in their arms. The story was fresh, merely four minutes old. His brows knitted together as a wave of unexpected emotions washed over him.

"P'Kin, a hot guy, and lovely cats... quite a combination,"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6vp7Vs9SLX
he mused, a playful smirk playing on his lips even as an undercurrent of uncertainty pulsed in his chest.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAv1N5B3TjUv
Curiosity piqued, Loft clicked on the tag, revealing the identity of the stranger in Kin's story.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYhCyXzQt67
"Ah, it's Than_Thanawuth... that's Than, huh?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxM67fBBy5G
Loft recognized the face from fleeting memories. "He's the hotshot from the engineering faculty, if I'm not mistaken..." He mused aloud, his mind beginning to churn with thoughts and questions.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYjCfewlZjo
Switching back to Kin's story, Loft's eyes lingered on the picture again. He couldn't help but comment, his voice laced with both amusement and a hint of envy,
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMEoCCOVt3n
"Looks like you guys had a good time."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAPSmds8qpkH
he admitted grudgingly, his voice holding an edge of bitterness. Lost in thought, he continued staring at his phone, his usual charismatic musician persona replaced by a young man grappling with complicated feelings in the solitude of his dorm room.

As the warm, tranquil atmosphere enveloped the cat café, the hustle and bustle of the city outside seemed far removed. Inside the cozy enclosure, Kin and Than were still basking in the joy of their shared moments when the café owner arrived to greet them. Her cheerful demeanor brought a new energy to the space. She sat down with Than, her animated chatter filling the room as they discussed an upcoming promotional project for the café.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAhNJK1gtEN
"We've got the photographer coming soon, Than. He'll take some shots of you with our feline friends here for the promotion,"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAtRs4dZnQR
she briefed him, glancing at Kin for a brief second before returning her attention to Than. They then began to discuss what Than should say in the promotional videos that were scheduled to run across various social media platforms.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9RonoaPn5S
Kin listened attentively from the sidelines, his interest piqued by the professional chatter. His silence was interrupted by the soft buzzing of his phone, a message flashing across the screen,
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG8LQT6bxTf
"I miss your company so terribly, would you please reply to my message and come to me..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2DM2RB3Yf0
Kin merely glanced at the message before he switched off the screen, his expression unreadable as he slipped into his thoughts.
146Please respect copyright.PENANARF4UNOb2Xl
With a subtle shift in attention, Than informed Kin that his work session would commence shortly, assuring him it would only take a while. With a gentle nod and a reassuring smile, Kin responded,
146Please respect copyright.PENANABCqVUOvbKs
"Don't worry about me, Nong-Than. You concentrate on your work. I'm perfectly fine here, with these furry companions to keep me company," he casually brushed off, gesturing to the cats scattered around them.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlX3UNnDakV
Kin’s phone began buzzing repeatedly, an insistent stream of messages from the same sender demanding his attention. A quick glance at the screen, and Kin promptly turned it off again, tucking it away in his pocket. Meanwhile, Than was surrounded by makeup artists and photographers, all working to bring out his best for the campaign. The scene was abuzz with energy, and Than looked stunning under the gleaming lights.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQEaFAE8RLJ
Kin watched all this from a distance and then decided to excuse himself, believing his presence might distract Than from focusing on his work.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9D8KzGHLG7
"I think I'm going to take off now," he declared, his tone regretful yet firm.
146Please respect copyright.PENANANj6PVmSX2M
Than looked a tad surprised but quickly masked it with a smile, "It's perfectly fine if you want to stay, P’Kin."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFkqB6aMBN1
Kin shook his head, "I need to catch up with some friends." His excuse was met with a nod of understanding from Than.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUNxy4T0tBH
"Alright then, goodbye, P'Kin,"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNPa8kdxM
Than's farewell was accompanied by a radiant smile. Dressed in an elegant costume, with his features delicately highlighted by makeup, he looked even more dazzling.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkxcPvqYR1e
"Wow, handsome guy, don't smile at me like that. My heart might stop," Kin's words slipped out unintentionally, causing Than to blush furiously.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFhmvpEuvOy
"P'Kin!" he exclaimed in response, a mix of surprise and delight in his tone.
With a mischievous grin, Kin replied, "See you around," before exiting the café, leaving behind an incredibly flustered Than.
