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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhNX8Rb0gH
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDyOIMT5fk
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfNq7FuNr
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFzs1mGhIG
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzkkv6eG5
"Would you mind if I join you? It appears all the other seats are taken," he queried, his gaze locked with Kin’s.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQ0MWehhq
Kin, a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion, shared a quick glance with Nok before agreeing,
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mi1MAg4Zr
"Uh…sure."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlE9TuL0Uy
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,
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dVpJ51K3A
"You must be P'Kin."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp4sEOyWKa
Kin looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, I am. But how did you know my name?”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaQT5h2E3L
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.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt1KkvohCN
Kin nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Oh, so you're a second-year architecture student?”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOc0IO4Zcu
"Correct," Loft affirmed, pulling out his smartphone and handing it to Kin. "Would you mind if I followed you on Instagram?”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr71XX6U36
Kin hesitated briefly before accepting the phone, "Sure, you can." He navigated to his profile and typed his handle into Loft's search bar.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0sly3o0l
Loft flashed a charming smile, "Just to keep in touch. Perhaps we can meet up at a party with my friends sometime."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJsp6jW3kP
“Alright," Kin responded, a hint of reservation in his tone but a polite smile on his face.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmm9MRIHX
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.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk0b6nNmmF
"Okay, see you," Kin replied, bemused and slightly overwhelmed by the swift turn of events.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Fyge9dbw
Once Loft was out of earshot, Nok couldn't help but tease Kin.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrqyUXuQmb
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P2IwRgznb
"No, he's just a friend of my close junior friends. It's not about my 'hotness'."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF9hTFxN4M
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: 219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcInmD5Oc0
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJsOE8a3C
‘Ratchaphol_Loft_The_Cool_Guy_007'219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8rfT1ZnmB
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjC3kNC3sr
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8dMLuVQPx
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.219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCcSeG1NXn
"Has he ever considered changing this handle?" He mused to himself, amusement evident in his voice.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmGPVlGvm4
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNju50aps0
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV4UXLWKoj
"Oh, hi there, P'Kin," Loft greeted him, his signature charming grin lighting up his face. "Isn't this a pleasant coincidence?”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdg9SuDOh
A bit taken aback, Kin managed to reply, "Hi, yeah, it sure is surprising to meet you again.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxwtvlD4H4
Loft chuckled, "I just realized that I didn't formally introduce myself last time. I'm Loft."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBzNcTdmNH
Kin, not missing a beat, answered, "Yeah, I knew your name already, Loft."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjur3z8fBi
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW7YpPJORS
Caught off-guard, Kin frowned a bit, "A rose? I've already received one today…"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOqD066wl
"A symbol of friendship, goodwill, and maybe even affection," Loft clarified, looking at Kin intently.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxvhWBxptJ
Aware of the symbolism, Kin felt a bit awkward, "I know its meaning, Loft.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5BNPDrXgX
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.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHLACNRAvi
Conceding, Kin decided to accept it, more to appease Loft than anything else. "Alright then.”
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2VGaMD7Mz
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIYgABIVRU
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2mBHOaDX
"See you around, P'Kin,"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjpLlT4kBC
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.
