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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMmfrDWl1Rb
"You can eat more than I thought, P'Kin," he remarked, a teasing note evident in his voice.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAG2MOcsHHki
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAr7OCqjQeg2
Loft's brows quirked in amusement. "Inside you? You mean like parasites?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANADTS0Z46YNj
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJjuzVmDZRK
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."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAKky2aoQm7G
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA0eqdU1ETx1
Caught off guard by the slightly naughty vibe from Kin's words, Loft blinked in surprise. Then, curiosity piqued, he asked,
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxY79KGt06o
"What? What is it then?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANAR9YBm7rGwa
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,
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6fhDT8WAb0
"...my stomach."
235Please respect copyright.PENANA2HNNziot1X
The unexpected response caused Loft to burst out laughing, relief and amusement combining into an infectious peal of laughter.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4RgqWR6dAC
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pm2AGtfdV
"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."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxIe7f7cR4E
Loft looked at him with concern, noting the signs of fatigue in his companion's face.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAU77yyQvWT3
"You look really exhausted, P'Kin. How about taking a seat?" he suggested, gesturing to the last vacant seat nearby.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAabRdVtINHd
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAeGrwcZrqPy
Loft chuckled at his comment. "Such a good guy," he teased, then his expression turned serious.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUwpuD3EUHx
"Can I ask you a bit of a serious question?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8vzIrRNlN3
"What is it?" Curiosity piqued, Kin met his gaze.
235Please respect copyright.PENANABTikQUYYSI
Loft hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you consider having someone? I mean, like, getting into a serious relationship?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtUrRLcC5lF
Kin was silent for a moment before answering, a mix of sadness and playfulness in his tone.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtnmaptHLQd
"Well, I do consider it, but it seems like I'm not the one who's lucky in love."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhLyNjmClcw
"Why would you say that?” Loft frowned, confusion clouding his features.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbxSGQNivPh
“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."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAd7QkQ5mn2G
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAM9S8vd9tsT
"And what about you? Have you ever considered?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANACzhKejcuLx
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."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAOortamwy6l
Kin nodded, understanding in his gaze. "Maybe you're still enjoying campus life, your music, your band?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANALpB3myRYfV
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAEcLvOPKIG8
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."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmTVfC2CiAN
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlnuTEQnWgT
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAiKVW5a66rc
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9SEAluVQ2x
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAAG7NHqDPwo
"Maybe you're over your limit today," Loft mumbled, watching Kin with a mix of amusement and concern.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWxn8ZhjVR5
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbdZ2kFv4AR
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJuLb6rudpi
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtYDu4trKzj
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXiGr73gO6L
"You're really something, P'Kin," Loft murmured under his breath, so softly that only he could hear it.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAcn0joF7nmL
“Now I’m starting to understand why you always have those guys around, hot or not, just as you say."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUwBPqHRw5L
His words hung in the air, a silent confession to the sleeping figure on his shoulder.
235Please respect copyright.PENANADgTd3CXGHW
………………………………………..
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgmVkM4oYMB
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXK6PjZ4HZe
"P'Kin," Loft gently coaxed, and Kin roused, his eyes squinting against the harsh train lights.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7sx7EJn8u9
"Are we at your stop yet?" Kin asked, his voice still laced with sleep.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAVjA2AB7JFk
Loft shook his head, "No, it's actually your stop. We've already passed mine two stations back."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAg45ZUa5uYo
Kin looked up in surprise. "Why didn't you get off?"
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUcOjkUfB01
"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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAOfBitjUyXe
"You could've just woken me up," Kin mumbled, his voice betraying his gratitude.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7X1qPmjUSQ
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYw6e6FYA4K
At the station exit, Kin attempted to send Loft back. "You really didn't have to come all this way," he said.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbRNUTAUsrK
But Loft insisted, his concern for Kin evident in his words. "You were tired, and it's late. It's better to be safe."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxDv16zCZtK
Kin smiled, flexing his arm in jest. "Don’t worry about me, my physique is my best defense. Thieves wouldn’t dare approach me."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbKh9yy495X
Loft chuckled, "Of course they would. And they might even be more aggressive to make sure they can take you down.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXrFVpsLR
Shaking his head, Kin replied, "Seriously, this area is quite safe. You should go home."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUgK8cEeKvP
"Actually, I'm tired too. I'll call a ‘Grab-taxi’ to get back," Loft stated, gesturing to his phone.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAvn3BcN6iEY
"Alright then," with a sigh, Kin gave in.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAPIiQLBolzt
As they exited the station, Kin pointed down the road. "My place is just three or four minutes from here."
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5dS8zF5aR3
"Really? That's close," Loft noted. "In that case, I'll walk you there."
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYEi6EAgp3w
Too tired to protest, Kin simply nodded. They walked together to Kin's home, a charming mid-end low-rise condo building.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJqtI48dkr6
"This place is nice," Loft observed as they approached.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAZefI9nhRFj
"Yeah, it's quite pretty," Kin agreed. He then turned to Loft, a teasing smile on his lips.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAjvl7Cv3kaP
"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…"
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3CWJuwlRsj
Loft grinned at Kin's words, a playful sparkle in his eyes. "Wasn't I sweet?" he said, his voice dripping with mischief.
235Please respect copyright.PENANABmMjqrWRkf
They shared a final laugh before parting ways, Kin waving him off with a soft "See you, Nong-Loft."
235Please respect copyright.PENANASyV9iXilNS
Loft, in response, turned around dramatically, clutching his heart in a mock heart attack, bringing their day to a light-hearted close.
