In the bustling cafeteria, Kin was making his way around the sea of occupied tables, a tray of food balanced precariously in his hands. He was in search of a quiet corner when he was hailed by a familiar voice. His female friend, Nok, was waving him over, an open laptop and a sea of papers spread out in front of her.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxGvbcnSXx
"Do you have a minute, Kin? We really need to discuss our business project report," she asked, her voice filled with urgency. Kin, agreeable as ever, nodded his affirmation, carefully maneuvering his way to her table.

As they settled into their seats, Nok dived right into the matter at hand. "Kin, the data you provided has been invaluable to our project," she said, pointing at some figures on her laptop screen. Kin, feeling slightly pleased, merely nodded and remarked on how glad he was that his input was beneficial.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCD2erdFSi
"Yes, that sounds like a good direction," Kin affirmed as Nok inquired about the prospective direction of their project, he nodded his approval, his mind teeming with additional suggestions.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgbRLsxOK
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted when a tall, striking figure materialized in front of them. It was Loft, his fierce features radiating an imposing aura, yet his smile was disarmingly charming.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HT3qobxH2
"Would you mind if I join you? It appears all the other seats are taken," he queried, his gaze locked with Kin’s.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChht7dTMd
Kin, a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion, shared a quick glance with Nok before agreeing,
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pQAPaAo3W
"Uh…sure."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOqFUS06Mt
His voice held a hint of hesitation, which didn't seem to deter Loft in the least. Loft slid into the chair opposite Kin, settling his imposing frame comfortably. Nok attempted to resume their conversation, although she seemed slightly daunted by Loft's renowned reputation. Loft interjected, turning his attention to Kin,
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQTd2SSyKA
"You must be P'Kin."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88gJ23kRvd
Kin looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, I am. But how did you know my name?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYuHsc8qSC
Loft responded easily, explaining their brief encounter at a party some days back. "You seemed quite close to some of my batch-mates from the architecture department. That's how I remembered you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Zl9Fyglf
Kin nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Oh, so you're a second-year architecture student?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLesyUfM9
"Correct," Loft affirmed, pulling out his smartphone and handing it to Kin. "Would you mind if I followed you on Instagram?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgtt1gd99t
Kin hesitated briefly before accepting the phone, "Sure, you can." He navigated to his profile and typed his handle into Loft's search bar.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB3KkU8oT8
Loft flashed a charming smile, "Just to keep in touch. Perhaps we can meet up at a party with my friends sometime."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAFMpzDgpY
“Alright," Kin responded, a hint of reservation in his tone but a polite smile on his face.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Q2nEOOGz
Their short interaction was brought to an end as Loft stood up, his snack finished. "Nice meeting you, P'Kin. See you around," he announced, pointing towards a group of friends at a distance. "I'll be joining them now.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L31t6PUWP
"Okay, see you," Kin replied, bemused and slightly overwhelmed by the swift turn of events.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL51lucxqZN
Once Loft was out of earshot, Nok couldn't help but tease Kin.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS7gmBVCNr
"He must be quite taken by your hotness to ask for your Instagram handle," she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Feeling his cheeks heat up, Kin hastily denied it.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbV3DzJ78B
"No, he's just a friend of my close junior friends. It's not about my 'hotness'."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQusB87lAFk
His voice held a hint of embarrassment, causing Nok to giggle. A mischievous glint sparkled in Nok's eyes, though she said nothing more, returning their focus to the project at hand.

After a grueling workout session, Kin found himself resting at the gym bar, the scent of sweat and the echo of weights clanging creating a familiar soundtrack. Dressed in his workout gear that clung tightly to his well-toned body, he perused the notifications on his phone. One particular alert caught his attention, a new follower notification from an Instagram account: 176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXOVMW1of
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerxYDAKZ11
‘Ratchaphol_Loft_The_Cool_Guy_007'176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fd9YA3tB3
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkn52qhTHH
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IgrLTKMh
Kin read out the Instagram handle silently, a small chuckle escaping his lips. The thought that the owner of such an ostentatiously childish handle was none other than Loft, the handsome, enigmatic architecture sophomore, seemed amusingly paradoxical.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CmWYb6PPo
"Has he ever considered changing this handle?" He mused to himself, amusement evident in his voice.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStI0mfLj1A
His musings were interrupted by Aut, a muscular gym buddy who was bidding him a quick goodbye. Kin raised a hand in acknowledgment, his attention still partially on his phone screen. Deciding he had rested enough, Kin headed towards the locker room, his mind a whirl of thoughts about the events of the last few days and the sudden interest of two of the university's most desirable men in him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jLhLYXLj8
Freshly showered and changed into casual clothes that did little to hide his chiseled physique. His well-built frame, especially his bulging pectorals and biceps, strained against the confines of his casual shirt, a visible testament to his rigorous workout session. Kin rushed out of the university sports complex, his phone in hand. He was so engrossed in typing a message that he nearly collided with a tall figure. To his surprise, it was Loft, again.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj9U30Az5T
"Oh, hi there, P'Kin," Loft greeted him, his signature charming grin lighting up his face. "Isn't this a pleasant coincidence?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxPYH1aME
A bit taken aback, Kin managed to reply, "Hi, yeah, it sure is surprising to meet you again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26EtKwythR
Loft chuckled, "I just realized that I didn't formally introduce myself last time. I'm Loft."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfySLg9hBkA
Kin, not missing a beat, answered, "Yeah, I knew your name already, Loft."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhGT67u0RH
Suddenly Loft extended a hand towards Kin, offering him a red rose from the massive bouquet he was carrying. "Conside this a small token for our little encounters," he said, his voice soft yet firm.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bek8IvhEm
Caught off-guard, Kin frowned a bit, "A rose? I've already received one today…"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9vDtxXPJ
"A symbol of friendship, goodwill, and maybe even affection," Loft clarified, looking at Kin intently.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnaq7iH6eU
Aware of the symbolism, Kin felt a bit awkward, "I know its meaning, Loft.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLltdC38KHR
Loft didn't back down, "Please accept it, P'Kin. I would be really happy if you do," he insisted, a light hint of pleading in his voice. "And hey, you can add another color to your rose collection.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvMWbr9cFf
Conceding, Kin decided to accept it, more to appease Loft than anything else. "Alright then.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsHWW7tY82
Loft's eyes roamed over Kin's physique, his gaze appreciative. "Your muscles look great in this shirt, P’Kin. Very...impressive. It must draw lots of attention...from girls and, maybe, guys too."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Y68y3Cpc
Kin, feeling a bit self-conscious, replied, "I just love hitting the gym regularly. It's nice seeing you again, Loft. And thanks for the rose." The need for some quiet and rest prompted him to end the conversation swiftly.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJgza92FS
"See you around, P'Kin,"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1M9sksL1H
Loft called after him, his handsome face beaming with what Kin assumed was an attempt to charm him. As Kin walked away, he couldn't help but feel a strange mix of amusement and bewilderment at the day's happenings.
