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.
