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.

"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.

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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkBXb9xWPG
"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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXgiwUnh7z
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxbfkocpd7
"Would you mind if I join you? It appears all the other seats are taken," he queried, his gaze locked with Kin’s.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdNR5SJ0dc
Kin, a little taken aback by the sudden intrusion, shared a quick glance with Nok before agreeing,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr4ycCI6rk
"Uh…sure."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLA6QOcvo
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAPgaS391T
"You must be P'Kin."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33NIz3wKYM
Kin looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, I am. But how did you know my name?”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmHTbc6P8
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.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iqdf5pkEg
Kin nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Oh, so you're a second-year architecture student?”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGjBMIU4O7
"Correct," Loft affirmed, pulling out his smartphone and handing it to Kin. "Would you mind if I followed you on Instagram?”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscgTGBspVi
Kin hesitated briefly before accepting the phone, "Sure, you can." He navigated to his profile and typed his handle into Loft's search bar.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VuGUKkLdg
Loft flashed a charming smile, "Just to keep in touch. Perhaps we can meet up at a party with my friends sometime."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcetM3hGH
“Alright," Kin responded, a hint of reservation in his tone but a polite smile on his face.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTTDx5VI4V
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.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuejgVQrljL
"Okay, see you," Kin replied, bemused and slightly overwhelmed by the swift turn of events.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2bHotBqKD
Once Loft was out of earshot, Nok couldn't help but tease Kin.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboOLwhsw2e
"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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4kcCDjea
"No, he's just a friend of my close junior friends. It's not about my 'hotness'."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTH7vTn6FA
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: 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpzQvMcXEr
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX212aJe3ZC
‘Ratchaphol_Loft_The_Cool_Guy_007'179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4150BUceMm
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQ8UpwbIy
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLftT1tbsCI
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.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK1s7RyzdV
"Has he ever considered changing this handle?" He mused to himself, amusement evident in his voice.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA7NNFiPvg
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKtfjprka
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRsLl1Os6p
"Oh, hi there, P'Kin," Loft greeted him, his signature charming grin lighting up his face. "Isn't this a pleasant coincidence?”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfVMtJhmXJ
A bit taken aback, Kin managed to reply, "Hi, yeah, it sure is surprising to meet you again.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VsNwX7AHy
Loft chuckled, "I just realized that I didn't formally introduce myself last time. I'm Loft."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLtFL5uRW
Kin, not missing a beat, answered, "Yeah, I knew your name already, Loft."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc4IAwsAWI
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEXvG67zFq
Caught off-guard, Kin frowned a bit, "A rose? I've already received one today…"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GNzoQnjN8
"A symbol of friendship, goodwill, and maybe even affection," Loft clarified, looking at Kin intently.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2yWXFtKZ
Aware of the symbolism, Kin felt a bit awkward, "I know its meaning, Loft.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlXUGTpQZB
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.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi49pqEUhc
Conceding, Kin decided to accept it, more to appease Loft than anything else. "Alright then.”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaiat6X4u0
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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5aiEmTMNy
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTvYVgG8Gv
"See you around, P'Kin,"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcQ7z1AuB3
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.
