The campus was abuzz, a vibrant hive of activity and anticipation. Students meandered about, their hands full of roses in bloom, their faces wearing smiles that radiated warmth and excitement. It was the annual 'Rose Junction Day', a tradition upheld by the engineering students, meant to symbolize friendship, goodwill, and even, perhaps, unspoken affection. The engineering junction, the junction that marked the entrance to the engineering faculty, was a fragrant sea of roses, the students from all faculties passing through it, both giving and receiving roses as tokens of their sentiments.

Kin and Jirat, having finished their morning class, were strolling through this lively milieu. Their eyes flickered over the numerous roses in the hands of excited girls, who giggled and blushed as they clutched their floral gifts.

"Look at all these flowers,” Kin remarked, his muscular arms swinging relaxedly at his sides as he gestured towards the clusters of students. His voice carried a note of amused interest, the sight of the campus being a refreshing change from their usual academic setting.

Jirat's eyes were drawn to a more private scene. A shy boy was extending a rose to a just as shy girl, their mutual embarrassment causing an eruption of cheers from their friends. "And look at those shy lovebirds," he commented, his smile a knowing one, well accustomed to the complexities of university life.

Suddenly, a familiar voice chimed in, its tone instantly recognizable. Turning, they were greeted by the strikingly handsome face of Than.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMADGpWysg
"P'Kin, P'Jirat," he greeted them, his voice warm and friendly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRVMZwOnB4
Kin returned the greeting, his deep voice softening as he addressed the junior. "Nong-Than," he said, using the affectionate prefix 'Nong', a Thai honorific indicating Than's juniority, adding an undercurrent of warmth to the interaction. Jirat quickly jumped into the conversation, his curiosity piqued.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqLgTn25WS
"So, Nong-Than," he started, "Being as popular as you are, you must have received a lot of roses, right?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuybDWotFGE
Than laughed in response, his tone full of good humor.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqGEMUW76D
"Actually, I'm from the engineering faculty, so it's my job to give out roses, not receive them," he clarified.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeH1nxnmtQ
Jirat nodded in understanding. "I see," he replied, his tone appreciative of the tradition.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1YUFYgYXW
Sensing that Than might have something more to say to Kin, Jirat decided to give them some space. He offered a brief farewell,
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnckwBHPDqI
"See you at the afternoon class, then.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj2lMex1I6
Kin nodded in agreement, his bicep contracting slightly as he waved a goodbye, promising to catch up later. Meanwhile, Than lingered, a clear indication that he had more to discuss with Kin.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gSs2gkv9K
In the tranquility of a tree-lined walkway, Kin and Than found themselves in a quiet corner, their conversation only disturbed by the occasional rustling of leaves. It was Than who broke the silence first, his voice echoing faintly in the verdant corridor.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXKSKems5l
"P'Kin," he began, a light teasing tone to his voice, "As one of the most well-known seniors, have you received any roses yet?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ORPz1krE5
"No, not yet," Kin replied, modestly brushing off Than's compliment about his popularity.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr5Ofya4mA
"I'm just a regular guy, Nong-Than. And I've been in morning classes. Haven't really crossed paths with any engineering juniors yet," he replied, his tone nonchalant, belying the playful glint in his eyes.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCsKEruJjK
"Well, I guess I'm the first one then,"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g4KAQv3qn
Than said, a teasing note in his voice. He seemed to take his reply as a challenge, a playful glint appearing in his eyes as he handed Kin a single white rose. Kin eyed the flower, a soft chuckle escaping his lips.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nt9EibTLl
"Why don't you keep it for someone you like? I mean, a girl, perhaps?"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDn4nQimeR
he suggested. His gaze shifted from the rose to meet Than's eyes. "I'm just a guy. Might not be the best fit for a rose," he reasoned, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Undeterred, Than met his gaze, conviction clear in his eyes.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssxbndq9Y
"It suits you just fine," he insisted, the earnestness in his voice clear. "Remember, it's not just about romance. It can also symbolize friendship and goodwill.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGbcGjmd7
Taking the rose, Kin let out a soft sigh, a hint of gratitude mixed with a bemused chuckle.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lsr40Ie4x
"Well, thank you, Nong-Than,”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDajXI02qf
he said, accepting the rose. Carefully, as if handling something precious, he placed the rose in between the pages of the textbook he had been carrying, a symbol of his acceptance of Than's goodwill.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBukqsrH2Z
The pair fell into a brief silence, before Than initiated a new conversation thread.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLg62fRPUS
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ciStr6Cw
"About the party the other day," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. The words hung in the air, heavy with the unspoken implications they carried.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuFozyElwf
Kin, his broad shoulders tensing slightly, interrupted before Than could complete his sentence, his hands clenching tightly around the textbook he was holding. "I'm so sorry about that," he rushed out, his apology sincere. Than tilted his head in confusion, his gaze sharp.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk6u1ddT6s
"Why are you apologizing?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. "If anything, I should be the one saying sorry. You seemed really drunk, and I soaked you in all that chaos.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcyjdgyJsR
Kin nodded, his face falling in remorse. "Yes, I was very drunk. And when I said I was sorry, I meant... well..." His voice faltered, his gaze dropping to the ground as he found the words. "My friend told me everything.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCyxXw3mT
"Everything?" Than echoed, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9WRIdC8X3
Kin sighed, finally raising his eyes to meet Than's. "About how I... pulled you in and kissed you." The confession hung in the air, tangible and heavy. A blush quickly crept up on Than's cheeks.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpWpcshSff
"Oh, I didn't realize P'Jirat saw that," he mumbled, clearly flustered.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHA17vP8mf
Kin sighed again, more heavily this time. "Yeah, he did," he affirmed. "He told me that I was the one who initiated it, and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscUWB2yf1P
Than's blush deepened, but he quickly brushed it off, his voice reassuring. "No, not at all. I mean, you were really drunk, and we were... close that day, so it was... understandable.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2E9MhIfUL
Kin chuckled weakly, grateful for Than's understanding. "You're too kind, Nong-Than,” he admitted. "But I am really sorry. I mean, it's not like I regret kissing a handsome guy like you, but I was concerned that I might ruin your reputation if someone saw us.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKrcuq5Ya
Than shook his head, his gaze softening. "Don't worry about it, P'Kin. I understand the situation," he assured.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTWFDySuPY
Than's gaze dropped to his phone, his fingers idly scrolling through his notifications. "I followed you on Instagram the other day. I hope you don't mind.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1WmwWGB9I
Kin looked surprised, but quickly composed himself. "Oh, I saw that," he admitted, pulling out his own phone. "Do you mind if I follow you back?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVwKbTkfxe
Than's face lit up at the offer. "I'd be glad," he confessed, a smile spreading across his face. "It's nice getting to know you, P'Kin. And I'm sorry if I caused any trouble.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47qIHAbNDx
Kin shook his head, dismissing Than's apology with a warm smile. "Not at all. The pleasure is mine, Nong-Than,” he responded. With that, they bid each other goodbye, going their separate ways.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkIliIS7ec
As Kin walked away, a sigh of relief escaped his lips. He had finally apologized for what had happened at the party, and it seemed Than didn't mind. As he glanced down at the rose, now nestled snugly in his textbook, he couldn't help but smile.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9D6mb5VbL

Loft strolled languidly through the vibrant campus, a colorful bouquet of roses clutched in one hand and a solitary textbook in the other, remnants from the day's lively festivities. His friends walked alongside him, their hands filled with similar assortments of roses, the air around them humming with the day's excited energy.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOyQLECFOS
His gaze flickered across the sea of faces, finally landing on a familiar silhouette standing at a distance. 160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j8LUSwXeq
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ue6E16RDH
"Is that... P’Kin?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCsux6135J
He mumbled under his breath, squinting his eyes slightly as if trying to make out the figure clearly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdb4wv9kXw
One of his friends, catching his mumbling, turned to him, eyebrows arched in question. "Did you say something?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75HSPzO7Wj
Loft shook his head dismissively, his attention still focused on the distant figure. "Nothing, just someone I know," he responded absentmindedly. However, after a moment of hesitation, he turned to his friends, his voice taking on a more decisive tone.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMy0eWvcq
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up with you later at the cafeteria.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk6PI5fly2
His friends shared confused glances but shrugged in acquiescence, continuing their trek towards the cafeteria, leaving Loft behind.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0psjo0Fs9
Stepping lightly, Loft made his way towards Kin's location. As he neared, his gaze landed on a tall figure conversing with Kin - a man whose handsome visage was just as striking as himself, if not more. Loft's eyebrows shot up in recognition.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA0K6rmGs5
"Well, P'Kin, always surrounded by strikingly handsome guys,"
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgw9QnBkGh
he muttered under his breath, his eyes flickering between the two men, yet failing to recognize Than from their previous encounter.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PA9uZyvtU
His gaze narrowed as the handsome man handed Kin a pristine white rose, their interaction seeming unusually intimate.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oThJAbgDR
"What's so special about you, P'Kin, that all these hot guys are always chasing after you?” Loft mused aloud, though his question was directed at no one but himself. He assessed Kin critically, his gaze dropping to Kin's muscular physique. "Besides those impressive bulging muscles and an average face, what else is there?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj07myYpmkc
Once Kin and the handsome stranger parted ways, Loft watched as Kin began making his way towards the cafeteria. A mischievous idea sparked in Loft's mind as he decided to follow Kin at a safe distance. Upon reaching the cafeteria, he saw Kin comfortably settled at a table with one of his female friends, their heads bent over a project they were discussing. Loft's eyes twinkled with mischief, his mind already weaving together a playful scheme.
