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,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYj7noPCCg
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKDSOlbIna
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight, like a superstar. How was the event?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDxOiu9kR
"Marvelous, as it should be,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdWtcImHfQ
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3YMdayLNf
"But something seems...strange. Is there something going on that I should know about?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTlAmLzT27
His friend paused for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5jcMFful0
"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."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjKJwYchFW
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,”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHaF59eHr3
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIszS8IbYAo
"Now I know... it feels like I really got burned by his fire,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPA30sl68z
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWJk3mfhhm
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L5BSMucFv
"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,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJgDXRHI71
Jirat spoke, his words marked with sincere concern and a tinge of regret for not stopping the situation sooner.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jHFlDbN1l
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwlwfb6eRr
"I'm sorry, guys, for letting this happen,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAcxfDLppj
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz5Ux2aAfP
"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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQSE1ZIlv
"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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A0t4rWx8K
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSCAlZnMPE
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINOO2aYWM6
"Nong-Than,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4RIYGMf0H
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJNHnDi8M
"Guys, this is Than, my junior from engineering,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEIsB8wbyf
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2GGTJh0J6
"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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI9TbrxNb3
"Is there something going on?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kKWa3Mljg
A weighted silence fell upon the group, the complexity of the situation making it difficult for anyone to articulate a response.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsNwXtGMAY
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,
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59MvKkae4P
"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.”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmNdepSMsK
His words trailed off, laden with regret and remorse. One of the juniors interjected swiftly,
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RAm27LHOj
"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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3z0DeSJG
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO5FeqATF0
"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,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fvYCSi6xz
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeCtDZayc7
"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."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcEU0HMGGX
His gaze roved over Kin's half-open shirt and the sculpted muscles beneath, a teasing note in his voice.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVT7QSiz15
"Really, I don't remember,”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAus14aPWY
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH2sfQEMzO
"Don't worry P'Kin, you still look... hot, in any condition,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ08qWbELBS
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8gJWXdTT
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHDbKmh60
"I have been thinking about you the whole time at the event. I don't know why,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0TY13i9vA
Than confessed, a soft blush colouring his cheeks, a quiet admittance of the hold Kin had over his thoughts.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFkI61vVun
"How was the event? Did it go well?”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQDh23EudP
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iHqfklX06
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOSgB52m78
"Isn't that Nong-Than sitting beside Kin?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVUIrLxWe8
Jirat noted, squinting at the pair in the distance, a frown of curiosity creasing his forehead.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xVH11QCns
"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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEUj7z9X2
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.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUBWxrau3L
"Let P'Kin have his time, Loft. Don't worry, he's not the type to hold grudges for too long,"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTg8CJRTd9
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.
