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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X7zOmW9Es
"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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxI7bQvEF
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04sHyXy65O
"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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8CkH9J4Y
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isnOLzsn2
"Would you mind if I join you? It appears all the other seats are taken," he queried, his gaze locked with Kin’s.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtebjSiNG19
Kin, a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion, shared a quick glance with Nok before agreeing,
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq22o4btKDe
"Uh…sure."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom9jGYoXQn
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,
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4HK347Z5U
"You must be P'Kin."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CALk2VarK
Kin looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, I am. But how did you know my name?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRABqDmI4r
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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMF9MVV9xO
Kin nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Oh, so you're a second-year architecture student?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsAgJtMMd
"Correct," Loft affirmed, pulling out his smartphone and handing it to Kin. "Would you mind if I followed you on Instagram?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnSrl7rBx1
Kin hesitated briefly before accepting the phone, "Sure, you can." He navigated to his profile and typed his handle into Loft's search bar.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIRu5ieZKa
Loft flashed a charming smile, "Just to keep in touch. Perhaps we can meet up at a party with my friends sometime."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpIvLczZz
“Alright," Kin responded, a hint of reservation in his tone but a polite smile on his face.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7fU4MMqd
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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlmQacB9N
"Okay, see you," Kin replied, bemused and slightly overwhelmed by the swift turn of events.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAbfSKnEQ
Once Loft was out of earshot, Nok couldn't help but tease Kin.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiKVGyUCo7
"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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkRwso3krl
"No, he's just a friend of my close junior friends. It's not about my 'hotness'."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaoveov6X
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: 193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1d3vC5nC
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvbeTsOLk
‘Ratchaphol_Loft_The_Cool_Guy_007'193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzvPiV0DCh
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKwhS9nKKu
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Mz5kJ71v
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M4zIS0fhU
"Has he ever considered changing this handle?" He mused to himself, amusement evident in his voice.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfgt9TkqDR
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wCb0gg4J8
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQFuRnbEY7
"Oh, hi there, P'Kin," Loft greeted him, his signature charming grin lighting up his face. "Isn't this a pleasant coincidence?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfk70vtCcG
A bit taken aback, Kin managed to reply, "Hi, yeah, it sure is surprising to meet you again.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ3WgmSmgp
Loft chuckled, "I just realized that I didn't formally introduce myself last time. I'm Loft."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQuu0e9wkN
Kin, not missing a beat, answered, "Yeah, I knew your name already, Loft."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0j91MW9Q
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xABmFkbl1
Caught off-guard, Kin frowned a bit, "A rose? I've already received one today…"
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJau6aKQAs
"A symbol of friendship, goodwill, and maybe even affection," Loft clarified, looking at Kin intently.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzc3pHhErR
Aware of the symbolism, Kin felt a bit awkward, "I know its meaning, Loft.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7eyTJKXJ2
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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeETZboTYyo
Conceding, Kin decided to accept it, more to appease Loft than anything else. "Alright then.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVWk2YXZHf
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNK334inIX
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG6zc9DTG0
"See you around, P'Kin,"
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy03SpLFdj
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.
