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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU1P8zpwCt
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BaBF8MHJN
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cgyi2fEEl
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhGgptO5uh
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnSWc4RpQn
"Would you mind if I join you? It appears all the other seats are taken," he queried, his gaze locked with Kin’s.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ltnkgv29L
Kin, a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion, shared a quick glance with Nok before agreeing,
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UC8mQ8pLs
"Uh…sure."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM0YYKNQV0
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,
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrPKHpT3Ka
"You must be P'Kin."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h0MQrppbm
Kin looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, I am. But how did you know my name?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn3wHc8Q4i
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbjAQjCNwS
Kin nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Oh, so you're a second-year architecture student?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1dd2suVF2
"Correct," Loft affirmed, pulling out his smartphone and handing it to Kin. "Would you mind if I followed you on Instagram?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXruOyORAgA
Kin hesitated briefly before accepting the phone, "Sure, you can." He navigated to his profile and typed his handle into Loft's search bar.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXamL5GFp
Loft flashed a charming smile, "Just to keep in touch. Perhaps we can meet up at a party with my friends sometime."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpXWepfma
“Alright," Kin responded, a hint of reservation in his tone but a polite smile on his face.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQxXODPio
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xocv6GDCp
"Okay, see you," Kin replied, bemused and slightly overwhelmed by the swift turn of events.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaCZygjLSI
Once Loft was out of earshot, Nok couldn't help but tease Kin.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8laAaGAhZ
"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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3VQX5ak97
"No, he's just a friend of my close junior friends. It's not about my 'hotness'."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9idzDFMuLP
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: 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYFl8KQ6iY
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGHF87MTRP
‘Ratchaphol_Loft_The_Cool_Guy_007'183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDGreeDzeM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZjpJfsLlf
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7jVtqBLR
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.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVepfUpkq
"Has he ever considered changing this handle?" He mused to himself, amusement evident in his voice.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVW1rXyhHd
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbJdLRd0F
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCMW0G0skq
"Oh, hi there, P'Kin," Loft greeted him, his signature charming grin lighting up his face. "Isn't this a pleasant coincidence?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlADIRhGT7
A bit taken aback, Kin managed to reply, "Hi, yeah, it sure is surprising to meet you again.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaFlLZrC1w
Loft chuckled, "I just realized that I didn't formally introduce myself last time. I'm Loft."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl464biwZsk
Kin, not missing a beat, answered, "Yeah, I knew your name already, Loft."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWUsZy9Ak
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2qlmGdcld
Caught off-guard, Kin frowned a bit, "A rose? I've already received one today…"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBcWDJ2Pi1
"A symbol of friendship, goodwill, and maybe even affection," Loft clarified, looking at Kin intently.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkFqIawcQ
Aware of the symbolism, Kin felt a bit awkward, "I know its meaning, Loft.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6HYbrCGVD
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIFa5Uv6D8
Conceding, Kin decided to accept it, more to appease Loft than anything else. "Alright then.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SztyFPk2w
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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90c7Gy5T4M
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM30Eanl0X
"See you around, P'Kin,"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ9T5tlH5y
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.
