Back in the sanctuary of his condo, Kin heaved a sigh of relief. His muscles ached with fatigue from the day's activities and a tide of exhaustion washed over him as he dropped his bag by the entrance. Flopping onto his plush sofa, he buried his face in the cool leather, a groan muffled by the cushion.

As he took a moment to settle, his gaze was drawn to the blinking notification on his phone, he small red notification badge drawing his attention. He swiped open the app, his tired eyes scanning the unread messages. A soft smile played on his lips when he saw Than's name in his inbox - a thank you note for his company earlier in the day.

“Nong-Than," Kin murmured, his thoughts replaying the day's events. There was a fondness in his voice, a warmth that tingled in his chest whenever he thought of the younger man. He found Than's kindness, his innocence, his energetic charm almost irresistible when they were close together.

“Thank you for inviting me today too, I had a very good time,”

Kin replied, his fingers swiftly typing the words. He found himself then scrolling through Than's story, stopping at the tagged picture of them together from the afternoon. The memory of their laughter, the warmth of the day, and the sheer joy of that moment washed over him again.

His eyes then landed on another story, posted a couple of hours ago. A luxurious gift wrap glittering under the warm lighting of a room.

"What a nice present wrap," Kin mumbled to himself, admiring the beautifully presented gift. But it was the tagged name that caught his attention next, a slight crease appeared between his eyebrows as he read the appreciation caption and saw the tagged profile - 'Bright_Akk'.

“Bright...A...K...K,"

Kin read aloud, tapping on the link. He found himself landing on a profile page that screamed stardom - 1.4 million followers with only 452 accounts being followed in return. One of them was Than.

"Wow, Nong-Than isn't ordinary," he mumbled, clearly impressed. He stared at the stunning profile picture, then glanced at Than's picture again. The fact that Than had managed to attract someone as famous and remarkable as Bright was intriguing.

Switching back to his own pictures with Than, he stared at the beaming face of the younger man. He looked disarmingly charming, his dazzling smile radiant and endearing..

"You could almost 'adopt' me with that smile, handsome boy,"

Kin mumbled to himself, a teasing smile playing on his lips. However, beneath his jest, there was a thread of seriousness.

"I gotta be more cautious around you," he added, finally realizing the potential impact the young man could have on his life.

In the vast expanse of the bustling airport, Jirat, clad in a sleek black t-shirt that clung to his lean form, moved with a purposeful gait. His tall silhouette cut a striking figure against the backdrop of the busy terminal. A backpack was slung over his shoulder, a symbol of the solitary journey he was undertaking. With his scruffy hair and his mesmerizing eyes hidden behind a pair of nerdy glasses, brought out a unique appeal that managed to capture the charm of his paradoxical, controlled yet relaxed character.

He breezed through the check-in process, his fingers tapping nimbly on the screen as he showed his reservation to the agent behind the counter. With that completed, he headed towards the waiting area, settling into a comfortable seat. The large, panoramic windows offered a breathtaking view of the busy tarmac, dotted with massive planes readying for their respective voyages.

With a sigh, Jirat pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his social media feeds. His eyes widened slightly as he came across a story featuring Kin and Than from earlier that afternoon. His lips curled into a playful smirk as he muttered to himself,
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yIvn71lVT
"Always into something interesting, aren't you, Kin?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrdX8Cfd6V
Curiosity piqued, he clicked on the link to Than's original post, and his eyes fell on the next story that had tagged a certain 'Bright_AKK'.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIZmStW0N3
"Wow, this boy, no ordinary indeed," Jirat mused, recognizing the name of a renowned celebrity.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFfii87XeS
His thoughts inevitably drifted back to Kin. He chuckled at the image of his friend, but there was a hint of concern lingering in his gaze. Deciding to get in touch, he began to type a message to Kin.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0T3zfqsCt
"Hey, Kin. Just a heads up, I'm heading back to my hometown in the south for a couple of days. Some family business to attend to. I don't think there are any special classes or events at the campus during this period, but if something comes up, do let me know. Will be back soon."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4nP2tAGBg
Once the message was sent, Jirat leaned back in his chair, his gaze once again returning to the photo of Than, Kin, and a cat that was still visible on his phone screen. Despite the hustle and bustle of the airport around him, he appeared remarkably calm and collected, his handsome, bespectacled face reflecting a serene nonchalance.
