That afternoon, Loft and Korn decided to visit a renowned hair studio in the city. Loft, wanting a change, had been eager to get a new haircut and had asked Korn to come along.

"Hey, Korn," Loft initiated, showing him a reference photo of a famous Korean idol's hair, "what do you think of this style? Would it suit me?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANAghp2c5eTdp
Korn took his time to contemplate Loft's question, critically examining the photograph. "Hmm," Korn finally spoke, "It looks nice on him, but I'm not so sure if it'll work for you."
173Please respect copyright.PENANA8CqglY6Dmw
Undeterred, Loft flipped through more photos, then showed Korn two more references. "What about this one? Or this?" he inquired, pointing to the images.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAFaQC9BqbuJ
Korn took another moment to assess the two options. "Well, this one," he suggested, pointing at the second image, "the model here has a similar head shape to you, this hairstyle might work.”
173Please respect copyright.PENANAKby8KkxM5d
"Alright, let's go for this one then," Loft decided, handing the reference photo to the hairstylist.

While Loft was getting his hair cut, Korn made himself comfortable in the waiting area. He casually leafed through a hair magazine, oblivious to the occasional glances thrown his way by passersby, entranced by his handsome and fierce features.

Finally, Loft emerged from the hairstylist's chair, a brand-new look adorning him.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAsKB02Rr6ES
"How is it?" he inquired, approaching Korn. The haircut suited Loft incredibly well, enhancing his features and giving him a fresh, trendy appearance. Korn couldn't help but tease his friend,
173Please respect copyright.PENANAnaBEMccyeC
"Can't believe the miracles of a haircut," he said nonchalantly, a smirk playing on his lips, "that can turn Loft into a Korean idol."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAdoIDAimYyf
Loft seemed to be in high spirits, amused by Korn's playful banter.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA33NB7aetpM
"It's great, isn't it? I'm also surprised at how hot I look," he said, joining in the playful banter. "Thanks to you, Korn, for helping me pick this style."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAuj0whY0woh
"Maybe it was a mistake, you outshine me now,” Korn teased, to which Loft confidently retorted,
173Please respect copyright.PENANAY8pHIJ79AI
"Well, I always looked hotter than you, Korn. Don't worry, a change of hairstyle won't change that."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAoMM235U0gr
Laughing at Loft's confident claim, Korn offered, "How about hanging at my place for a while?" to which Loft readily agreed, "That'd be great, I'd like to have some beers."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAhvBqCNAKit
"Alright, let's go then," Korn said, as they headed out, their afternoon of camaraderie continuing.

The hours had slipped by, marked by the soft clinks of beer cans and the steady hum of their conversation. As the evening deepened, so did their discussion. They found themselves comfortably nestled within the soft glow of Korn's living room, an intimate atmosphere wrapping around them.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYWh13OZYr7
"Loft,"
173Please respect copyright.PENANArTqg8EIJ7z
Korn broke the comfortable silence, his voice serious and his signature earring glittering in the dim light. "I want to ask you something. But you have to promise to answer honestly, okay?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANAAmvzcmq6uW
Loft looked at him, his handsome face lit up with a curious sparkle, his cheeks flushed a gentle red from the alcohol, and his new haircut adding a certain allure to his demeanor. "What is it about?" he asked.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Zcp6k8k9
"About P'Kin," Korn paused, gathering his words, watching Loft's expression tighten in anticipation.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA22VnvfrDoF
"Do you... do you have special feelings for P'Kin?" he finally asked, laying his question bare.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAQkfZv1WHdC
Loft was silent for a moment, contemplating his answer. "If you mean feeling special... to be honest, yes, I might feel something special about him. But I don't know what that feeling is called."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAXMXNNQWXoO
"Do you love him?" Korn pressed further, his gaze steady on Loft.
173Please respect copyright.PENANArMbnFHnbCJ
"I'm not sure if it can be called love," Loft admitted, "I admire him, I see special things in him, I feel comfortable around him." He echoed the words John used to describe about P'Kin.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYV8WRBXVqI
"Well, if it isn't love, it's quite close," Korn suggested, trying to make sense of Loft's words.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAy78ENlIJNn
"Maybe, but also maybe not," Loft responded, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Since I've never felt like this towards anyone before.”
173Please respect copyright.PENANAmAZNy3bgW7
"Never?" Korn questioned, genuinely surprised. "How about the girls you used to date?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANA3ixEkUQWns
"It's different, I can say. But this feeling for P'Kin is special, or even more," Loft confessed.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA0DPYCjLAsa
"If you do love him, wouldn't it cause problems?" Korn posed, "Since you've never been with any guys before.”
173Please respect copyright.PENANATgffMuezWW
"Well, that's something I have to figure out about myself," Loft admitted, an understanding smile playing on his lips.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAnfT4NhsWKY
Korn watched as Loft opened up, his honesty making him appear even more attractive. Korn couldn't help but admire Loft, especially now with his new hairstyle adding a different allure.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ9K2y3KEp
"About this topic of guys, you can always talk to me," he offered.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAu99hVY5yMP
"Yeah, I know. Since you're quite experienced being with guys," Loft said, his tone playful.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA8JQAGtcNSP
"Maybe you can say that," Korn conceded, an unknowable expression playing on his face.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA4MbSnXCFO7
Memories of his past encounters with P'Kin flooded back into Korn's mind, tingeing his expression with an echo of desire. He remembered their heated encounters, right there on the same sofa where he was now sitting and having this heart-to-heart with Loft. It was an unexpected recollection, one that left him in silent contemplation, even as their conversation continued. This realization brought a subtle change to Korn's expression, adding yet another layer to the complexities of the evening.

With the room washed in the muted glow of late-night conversation, Loft launched his counter-offensive,
173Please respect copyright.PENANARjjHSZVDSs
"I've answered, and now it's your turn to answer," his eyes gleamed mischievously. He then added,
173Please respect copyright.PENANAE2v2RLxxFx
"And on the same topic, about P'Kin."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAPM9iN4hF5E
"What is it?" Korn asked, his curiosity piqued by Loft's sudden shift in direction.
173Please respect copyright.PENANApsnLKmJ35F
"You and P'Kin...is there anything special?" Loft finally managed to ask, his words cutting through the silence.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAfUBkCIjZ9G
"Why would you ask that?" Korn seemed taken aback.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAwN0KVZtmNf
"Because you're quite protective of P'Kin sometimes. In fact, many times, I can tell," Loft stated, the playfulness of his tone contradicted by the seriousness of his words.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYAotLzLLjL
"That obvious, huh? I thought I managed to keep it under wraps," Korn replied, his surprise evident.
173Please respect copyright.PENANARWivAvxCft
"Since I've been close to you and P'Kin recently, I can tell there's something there. The clues always seem to come from your side, not P'Kin's," Loft's tone was a mix of seriousness and playfulness, displaying his analytical acumen.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAt0Edih0baq
"Well, all I can tell is that maybe we have something more special than a typical junior-senior relationship," Korn confessed, his words causing a perceptible shift in the room's energy.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAITiXoYd23a
"But have you ever kissed him?" Loft interrupted before Korn could continue. "And if you did, how did it feel to kiss a guy, especially someone like him?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANAcSGKXTDxzy
"Yes, I've kissed him," Korn admitted, his voice barely more than a whisper, "and the feelings...well, I bet you can't truly understand it unless you've experienced it firsthand."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAnxkPwixXvv
At Korn's admission, Loft couldn't help but chuckle, the playful challenge issued by P'Kin about experiencing something firsthand echoing in his mind. "That's it," Korn nonchalantly agreed, trying to maintain his composure.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA4jJMxZ5vth
"To be honest, I've wondered what it's like to kiss a guy. But I've always been too afraid to try,” Loft finally admitted, the alcohol loosening his tongue and making it easier to express his deepest thoughts.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAGprlttT3gi
"But you said a guy like you isn't afraid of anything," Korn retorted, throwing Loft's words back at him, a playful challenge in his eyes.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAbzUyKdLewV
Loft, feeling emboldened by Korn's challenge and his own past words, met Korn's gaze head-on,
173Please respect copyright.PENANAfCbYaeFizt
"Help me break my fear then."
173Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ZvlCcTIR
"Don't be silly, Loft. We're friends," Korn brushed off Loft's words, but his heartbeat accelerated at the prospect.
173Please respect copyright.PENANA1KDn6nJ3Nl
"Yes, we are friends," Loft agreed, his gaze unwavering. "But who says friends can't kiss?"
173Please respect copyright.PENANAZaU8IRB0Xt
"I think they don't, actually," Korn responded, trying to seem nonchalant, but Loft's sharp eyes could tell Korn wasn't as indifferent as he was trying to appear.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAmTWf9iPpnv
"Come on, Korn, don't be a coward. Just give your friend some firsthand experience," Loft taunted, a mischievous grin on his face.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAa72XLQ7xvv
"Are you sure you want to do this...with me?" Korn asked, needing a final affirmation.
173Please respect copyright.PENANANhwUwjOEzx
"More than sure," Loft answered without hesitation.
173Please respect copyright.PENANANtrO0whbBM
With that, Korn leaned in to kiss Loft. Their lips met in an explorative dance, tongues discovering uncharted territories. Loft was ushered into a new realm of sensory experiences, whereas Korn allowed his suppressed feelings for Loft to surface, increasing with every passing moment. After a while, they broke the kiss.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAUWlGAWWu2A
"I think you're playing with fire," Korn warned playfully, but with a hint of concern.
173Please respect copyright.PENANAGHWbeg3CEs
"I'm not afraid of fire, Korn,"
173Please respect copyright.PENANAn790PeifCi
Loft countered, his drunken face adorned with a charming grin, thinking about P'Kin as the biggest bonfire he'd ever encountered.
