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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv48rM0Prq
"You can eat more than I thought, P'Kin," he remarked, a teasing note evident in his voice.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6doS2QP1T9
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fRnPnsa5T
Loft's brows quirked in amusement. "Inside you? You mean like parasites?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgtSBcuJJ
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFpZUR3fkA
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."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCluBuQGG
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdKCy09Vor
Caught off guard by the slightly naughty vibe from Kin's words, Loft blinked in surprise. Then, curiosity piqued, he asked,
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKV27sh0hk
"What? What is it then?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaqLwtxzxF
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,
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxYrqiLb1u
"...my stomach."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTT1hm4iE1
The unexpected response caused Loft to burst out laughing, relief and amusement combining into an infectious peal of laughter.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeF06ywJWc
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡendnAQthgJ
"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."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwWm4TRnnh
Loft looked at him with concern, noting the signs of fatigue in his companion's face.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDcBjsip7
"You look really exhausted, P'Kin. How about taking a seat?" he suggested, gesturing to the last vacant seat nearby.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxmY2bCLu5
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7IsM8Lb3V
Loft chuckled at his comment. "Such a good guy," he teased, then his expression turned serious.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DXoZIxKuH
"Can I ask you a bit of a serious question?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdSF9C3gfW
"What is it?" Curiosity piqued, Kin met his gaze.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HnA4vzPI
Loft hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you consider having someone? I mean, like, getting into a serious relationship?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvNZqwHdYA
Kin was silent for a moment before answering, a mix of sadness and playfulness in his tone.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdAXl2iWhg
"Well, I do consider it, but it seems like I'm not the one who's lucky in love."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6azZ2hWSi
"Why would you say that?” Loft frowned, confusion clouding his features.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBIEKKNk4m
“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."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHZSxkyqO7
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdRuXWUMHv
"And what about you? Have you ever considered?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkvAP5xKj8
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."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhyXRnuqX4
Kin nodded, understanding in his gaze. "Maybe you're still enjoying campus life, your music, your band?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0h8hQL40c
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaps5jI7dCr
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."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtvA7czzn
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl94wsMrdD
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMwFmpkXFx
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvyHyZ6p5B
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwp7Kbi0z
"Maybe you're over your limit today," Loft mumbled, watching Kin with a mix of amusement and concern.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBHgddURh
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmaDMcTJj
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytuDg6d0QC
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIswvFvXF
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNktl50zmSz
"You're really something, P'Kin," Loft murmured under his breath, so softly that only he could hear it.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwu9J5rOca
“Now I’m starting to understand why you always have those guys around, hot or not, just as you say."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7lYWMu1fv
His words hung in the air, a silent confession to the sleeping figure on his shoulder.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw6UEmqqDb

243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9urz0DByAp
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nq3CQ2Qyt
"P'Kin," Loft gently coaxed, and Kin roused, his eyes squinting against the harsh train lights.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYjZmzSKl4
"Are we at your stop yet?" Kin asked, his voice still laced with sleep.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhaz6WuuLi
Loft shook his head, "No, it's actually your stop. We've already passed mine two stations back."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GAiTdOu9f
Kin looked up in surprise. "Why didn't you get off?"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysQuTPiaNO
"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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6xGn0ng0m
"You could've just woken me up," Kin mumbled, his voice betraying his gratitude.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANW3dTZSPZ
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzot7iYqjh
At the station exit, Kin attempted to send Loft back. "You really didn't have to come all this way," he said.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjfBuCCVk
But Loft insisted, his concern for Kin evident in his words. "You were tired, and it's late. It's better to be safe."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGQ7CFXwk
Kin smiled, flexing his arm in jest. "Don’t worry about me, my physique is my best defense. Thieves wouldn’t dare approach me."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3tm1da7u8
Loft chuckled, "Of course they would. And they might even be more aggressive to make sure they can take you down.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrrXp63IbP
Shaking his head, Kin replied, "Seriously, this area is quite safe. You should go home."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS09CjwUi7
"Actually, I'm tired too. I'll call a ‘Grab-taxi’ to get back," Loft stated, gesturing to his phone.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a2vEGgbcX
"Alright then," with a sigh, Kin gave in.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXE5aodlSr
As they exited the station, Kin pointed down the road. "My place is just three or four minutes from here."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TAs2EATkk
"Really? That's close," Loft noted. "In that case, I'll walk you there."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Y47PpPXW
Too tired to protest, Kin simply nodded. They walked together to Kin's home, a charming mid-end low-rise condo building.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Jiz80Diy
"This place is nice," Loft observed as they approached.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Pl0moI8d
"Yeah, it's quite pretty," Kin agreed. He then turned to Loft, a teasing smile on his lips.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d3mYTEJ9e
"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…"
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iokoO2JTC
Loft grinned at Kin's words, a playful sparkle in his eyes. "Wasn't I sweet?" he said, his voice dripping with mischief.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSZWhE1ezQ
They shared a final laugh before parting ways, Kin waving him off with a soft "See you, Nong-Loft."
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD9aNlkcIW
Loft, in response, turned around dramatically, clutching his heart in a mock heart attack, bringing their day to a light-hearted close.
