While Loft had ceased his feasting some time ago, feeling satiated, he found himself watching as Kin continued eating at a steady pace. His brows rose in mild surprise.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmDEji81kd
"You can eat more than I thought, P'Kin," he remarked, a teasing note evident in his voice.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceB3VVaHFn
Kin chuckled, a piece of meat halfway to his mouth, "Well, I have a lot more inside me to feed," he responded, his tone light and teasing.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopGPql1JFN
Loft's brows quirked in amusement. "Inside you? You mean like parasites?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFJdW8Qn6D
Laughing at the unexpected interpretation, Kin shook his head, "No, these monsters," he responded, flexing his bicep playfully. His muscles bulged impressively under the skin, proving his point.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsO6WWM4ke
Loft couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "Alright, it seems you really do have a lot to feed," he retorted, his gaze fixed on Kin's bulging pectorals. "They almost look ready to explode."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNbYZAyPEd
"They won't explode easily. If there's something that would explode, it would be something else,”Kin's eyes twinkled with mischief as he retorted.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXaNLjpntZ
Caught off guard by the slightly naughty vibe from Kin's words, Loft blinked in surprise. Then, curiosity piqued, he asked,
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxLSMsg2H
"What? What is it then?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEIxr7lecg
Kin maintained the suspense, letting a moment of silence stretch out. His gaze moved from Loft, drifted towards his crotch area, then made its way back to Loft's eyes. A playful smirk tugged at his lips as he delivered his punchline,
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoIEqJfLvO
"...my stomach."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3tWEtm7Ey
The unexpected response caused Loft to burst out laughing, relief and amusement combining into an infectious peal of laughter.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPi8yg0scL
"Well, I believe it would if you continue eating like this," he retorted once he'd regained his composure, his eyes twinkling with the shared jest.

As the doors of the skytrain slid closed behind them, Kin and Loft found themselves standing in a corner of the crowded car. The hum of conversation and the rhythm of the train's motion were the backdrop to their own dialogue.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DfjtDbaZb
"What a long day," Kin groaned, stretching his arms over his head. His muscles stood out in relief against his sweat-drenched shirt. “Still quite a while on this train before we're home."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyygbaTWyF
Loft looked at him with concern, noting the signs of fatigue in his companion's face.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSBqwTlN9X
"You look really exhausted, P'Kin. How about taking a seat?" he suggested, gesturing to the last vacant seat nearby.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcb54bEZVq
"Nah, maybe just keep it for those who really need it," Kin replied, leaning against the train side, his eyes flicking to the bustling city view outside the window. His strong body easily absorbing the sway of the moving car.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGK9jfC2RH
Loft chuckled at his comment. "Such a good guy," he teased, then his expression turned serious.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6urwezr6S
"Can I ask you a bit of a serious question?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokIo9wyE8
"What is it?" Curiosity piqued, Kin met his gaze.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XspVElwgu
Loft hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you consider having someone? I mean, like, getting into a serious relationship?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ry80iAVcJ
Kin was silent for a moment before answering, a mix of sadness and playfulness in his tone.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenFXoNDSbq
"Well, I do consider it, but it seems like I'm not the one who's lucky in love."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDSekKYBtG
"Why would you say that?” Loft frowned, confusion clouding his features.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqWuOLHGzS
“A guy like you with such an impressive build, your face isn't...bad, and your good charisma attracts so many hot guys. I wouldn't think it'd be difficult for you to find someone who suits you."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xvKdIny5j
"Well, it's quite difficult actually,” Kin chuckled, the sound echoing around them. “Every time I want to start a serious relationship, it ends up in catastrophe." He paused, looking at Loft with interest.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoVppKaVex
"And what about you? Have you ever considered?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4leAI7lmrT
Loft sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Well, I have dated some girls. They were hot, they were nice, but in the end, it never worked out."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwew13hh7N
Kin nodded, understanding in his gaze. "Maybe you're still enjoying campus life, your music, your band?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBwcSxwghm
Loft shrugged, a playful glint returning to his eyes. "Yeah, seems like that. Maybe just like you enjoy the company of your friends...all your hot guys." Loft grinned mischievously, watching as Kin laughed, shaking his head.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjS8gQqXD
With an amused shake of his head, Kin concluded, "Maybe you're correct, and that's maybe the reason I really don't have 'someone'. I already have their good company."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sCgkBMYsA
His voice held a fondness for his friends, a subtle admission of his contentment with his current life.

Several stops had passed since their conversation, the hustle and bustle within the train gradually fading as the crowd thinned. The once crammed cabin now held a sparse number of passengers, its aura mellowing with the approaching late hours. Kin remained standing, leaning against the train's side wall, his eyes half-closed in the wake of the day's exhaustion.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxRsEwndFu
"P'Kin, there are plenty of seats now and we still have a while to go. Let's take a seat," he suggested, a hint of insistence in his voice.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33qrfaoyGm
Kin raised his eyebrows in mild surprise, then nodded, his fatigue pulling his eyelids down in agreement. They ambled over to the vacant seats, the swaying rhythm of the train a reminder of the long journey ahead.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qZv33CDF
As they continued to traverse through stations, Loft observed Kin out of the corner of his eye. His senior's head was lolling back, swaying slightly to the rhythm of the train - sometimes leaning right, sometimes left, and occasionally bobbing forward.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeT9g2waTd
"Maybe you're over your limit today," Loft mumbled, watching Kin with a mix of amusement and concern.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x32Xhh2tw
Just as he finished his sentence, the train braked suddenly, jolting Kin forward in his seat. Loft's hand shot out instinctively, catching Kin before he could collide with the floor. As the recorded voice of the announcer filled the cabin with apologies for the abrupt stop, Loft steadied Kin back to his seat.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGw093tjj
"That was dangerous, P'Kin," he muttered, looking at Kin with worry etching his face. Realizing that the sleep-deprived Kin might not be able to keep himself steady, Loft took a quick decision.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHfWxWyADw
"Maybe this is better," he suggested, gently guiding Kin's head to rest on his shoulder to provide support. Kin seemed too exhausted to resist, and within moments, he was sound asleep.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3bPOpI7BB
Loft sat still, taking in the sight of the sleeping man leaning on his shoulder, memories of the day began to flash in his mind. He remembered Kin’s attentive expression during the architecture tour, the gentle way he sipped water, and his playful banter at the Shabu restaurant. He found himself smiling softly, a warmth spreading in his chest.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmFwGYISI
"You're really something, P'Kin," Loft murmured under his breath, so softly that only he could hear it.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgf7oSm8BO
“Now I’m starting to understand why you always have those guys around, hot or not, just as you say."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72mtlDFq4
His words hung in the air, a silent confession to the sleeping figure on his shoulder.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigYvh5xIWb

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtdC1qOyYi
The train's rhythmic movements gradually slowed, signalling the approach to another station. Loft gently nudged Kin, his fingers lightly brushing through Kin's tousled hair.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5URvU9isl
"P'Kin," Loft gently coaxed, and Kin roused, his eyes squinting against the harsh train lights.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOew9qgbWvi
"Are we at your stop yet?" Kin asked, his voice still laced with sleep.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrPqwQMUdb
Loft shook his head, "No, it's actually your stop. We've already passed mine two stations back."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4WLMHhDtx
Kin looked up in surprise. "Why didn't you get off?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL4YRFkWs4
"I wanted to make sure you got home safely. You were asleep and I didn't want to leave you alone," Loft said, his voice soft with concern.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2jHB87pW1
"You could've just woken me up," Kin mumbled, his voice betraying his gratitude.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW8pOcbe8b
Yet before he could say more, the overhead announcement rang through the carriage: "Approaching Station NL16.” Loft gently guided Kin to his feet, and they exited the train together.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HwqSz9M9K
At the station exit, Kin attempted to send Loft back. "You really didn't have to come all this way," he said.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfqIZZqgSr
But Loft insisted, his concern for Kin evident in his words. "You were tired, and it's late. It's better to be safe."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Q00TATXM
Kin smiled, flexing his arm in jest. "Don’t worry about me, my physique is my best defense. Thieves wouldn’t dare approach me."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZoopDrcNY
Loft chuckled, "Of course they would. And they might even be more aggressive to make sure they can take you down.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFgjtwe4qU
Shaking his head, Kin replied, "Seriously, this area is quite safe. You should go home."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LHAmIbP9R
"Actually, I'm tired too. I'll call a ‘Grab-taxi’ to get back," Loft stated, gesturing to his phone.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKTFF0cvoB
"Alright then," with a sigh, Kin gave in.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuFObatWUX
As they exited the station, Kin pointed down the road. "My place is just three or four minutes from here."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCIgjDpUiV
"Really? That's close," Loft noted. "In that case, I'll walk you there."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO0UWqjxPH
Too tired to protest, Kin simply nodded. They walked together to Kin's home, a charming mid-end low-rise condo building.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq7wxW3iuc
"This place is nice," Loft observed as they approached.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpICmITuur
"Yeah, it's quite pretty," Kin agreed. He then turned to Loft, a teasing smile on his lips.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj56hRdeQNL
"Thanks for taking care of me this evening. You've been treating me like I'm your little girl, taking me out to dinner, letting me sleep on your shoulder, walking me home…"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQGNQc2vC4
Loft grinned at Kin's words, a playful sparkle in his eyes. "Wasn't I sweet?" he said, his voice dripping with mischief.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfXA6k6goQ
They shared a final laugh before parting ways, Kin waving him off with a soft "See you, Nong-Loft."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa1irNs3he
Loft, in response, turned around dramatically, clutching his heart in a mock heart attack, bringing their day to a light-hearted close.
