The sleek, shimmering towers of downtown Bangkok served as a stunning backdrop for the high-end event, held by a renowned make-up product brand. The venue was a dazzling spectacle of elegance and opulence, exuding a cosmopolitan glamour unique to Thailand's capital city. It was awash in a glow of ambient light reflecting off crystal chandeliers, casting a soft, warm light on the faces of those present. Celebrities, influencers, and models, among them the renowned star, Bright, mingled and meandered, their laughter and light chatter creating a captivating hum in the opulent ballroom.

Among the crowd, a striking figure stood out, none other than Than. With his strikingly handsome features, Than exuded a charisma that matched the event's grandeur and seamlessly blended with the other attendees. His almond eyes were calm but lively, his sharp jawline accentuated by the subtle strobing of makeup, and his lips, tinted a soft nude shade, parted in a charming smile.

As part of the event, a fashion show was held, featuring the country's top models, including Than. Dressed in a stunningly gorgeous idol-like costume designed by a renowned designer, his appearance was further accentuated by a sublime makeup look created by the country's top makeup artists using the brand's products. Cameras flashed incessantly, trying to capture every moment of the spectacle, but despite his professional demeanor and brilliant performance, Than's mind frequently wandered towards Kin and the party at the Hub.

Hours slipped by, unnoticed amidst the glamour and glitz, and as the event approached its close, Than's gaze fell upon Bright, engrossed in his interactions with the media and friends. Press interviews were a whirlwind of questions about Bright's upcoming BL series set to launch on a popular streaming platform. Bright fielded each question with his characteristic warmth and professionalism.

Desiring some private time with Bright, Than decided to defer it for later and made up his mind to join the party at the Hub. It was nearing 11 pm, but the energetic rhythm of Bangkok's night scene convinced him that the party would likely continue for several more hours.

After a half-hour taxi ride in a high-end vehicle, Than arrived at the Hub. His stunning costume and striking features immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd. He confidently strode through the near-hundred guests gathered in the venue, the atmosphere was abuzz with a kind of chaotic energy that he couldn't quite pinpoint. But as he ventured deeper into the party, Than couldn't shake the sense of something amiss, an undercurrent of tension that left him wondering what had transpired in his absence.

"Than! You finally made it here,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWRemyQPeh
one of his model friends from the architecture faculty greeted him. A tall figure with a sharp jawline and stylishly messy hair, his eyes twinkled with amusement as he took in Than's appearance.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ0hjg6BGp
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight, like a superstar. How was the event?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk46N67MXX
"Marvelous, as it should be,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWpoQdvsS3
Than replied nonchalantly, his gaze flickering across the crowded club. Despite the lively atmosphere and pulsating music, something felt off. He decided to voice his observation, his voice holding a trace of concern.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44CjSZKCZA
"But something seems...strange. Is there something going on that I should know about?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZmCKmxsfm
His friend paused for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX73M8gs0RA
"Well, there seems to be some 'issue' that occurred between the business school seniors and some of my peers. I don't know the details, but it seems quite...intense."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi3oKbXk8e
Than’s eyebrows lifted at the vague explanation. The words 'business school seniors' and 'intense' in the same context piqued his curiosity, stirring a sense of worry within him. Could his beloved P'Kin be involved? Excusing himself from his friend, Than decided to delve further into the hubbub of the party.

"I warned you... you were playing with fire,”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRT2iN2TOa
Korn spoke to Loft in a low voice, a serious tone lacing his words. His handsome face was drawn in worry, his dark eyes tracing Loft's pale face and unfocused eyes. He had seen the depth of Kin's intense personality during their previous passionate encounters. He knew that the fiery, dominant side that Kin just displayed shouldn't have been provoked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzudCAEHUjK
"Now I know... it feels like I really got burned by his fire,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoa7UtHW7
Loft admitted, a shaky laugh trying to mask his shaky state. His chest still tightened with the lingering imprint of the ferocious emotions Kin had poured into their heated kiss.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtL5YtB6Y
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtRZsnFac9
"Sorry for my friend, Nong-Loft. Maybe you were the one who started this, but he shouldn't have been this harsh on you. He is a senior after all,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJTvzL6b7
Jirat spoke, his words marked with sincere concern and a tinge of regret for not stopping the situation sooner.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQJGyuNTb
Meanwhile, on Kin's side, he had cooled down, still surrounded by the four juniors with soft, calming demeanors who were trying to bring him back to earth. The rest of the crowd had retreated, some of them encouraging others to continue enjoying their night and leave this matter behind, while a few stayed to help resolve the situation.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Xuv0cLXr
"I'm sorry, guys, for letting this happen,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQkdcEdiQX
Kin finally managed to say, his voice strained with restrained emotion. His body was still taut, a physical manifestation of the tension that still lingered in his mind and soul.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrucvmHrXQn
"No, P'Kin, it's us who have to apologize. We let this happen to you," one junior piped up, his arms wrapping around Kin's broad, muscular shoulders in a comforting hug.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWq6B2sEVb
"And I...I went too far, touching you and encouraging Loft to do the same. I'm really sorry," the athlete junior added, his face flushed with shame.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C87OEk6Q9
Other juniors followed suit, layering their apologies on top of each other, their collective voices forming a remorseful chorus that filled the room. Their warmth, genuine remorse, and accumulated hugs felt like a healing balm on Kin's still simmering anger and passion.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wq60jB8iM
Meanwhile, from afar, Than noticed a familiar figure surrounded by a group of juniors. His heart rate quickened as he recognized the muscular build and distinct presence of Kin, whom the juniors seemed to be comforting. Shaking off the surprise and worry, Than decided to approach the group. His entrance did not go unnoticed.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP6ROSGGmA
"Nong-Than,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVMqeamjDv
Kin greeted him, his eyes instantly recognizing the stunning figure of his junior. He acknowledged Than's presence, which, even in the midst of chaos, radiated an effortless aura that commanded attention. The juniors felt the magnetic energy of Than and composed themselves as he approached.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSOGGKBEPe
"Guys, this is Than, my junior from engineering,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDhP3iFPwI
Kin introduced Than to the juniors, who reciprocated with polite nods and a few impressed glances. They exchanged knowing glances among themselves, their eyes reflecting their internal thoughts, their minds speculating about Than's potential connection to Kin.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwvjyOHXSY
"Hello, guys. Hi, P'Kin," Than greeted, his usual warm smile gracing his face, albeit accompanied by a hint of concern. He addressed his next question to the group, though his gaze never left Kin.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmD2pq1dHh
"Is there something going on?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgYFOAY8ss
A weighted silence fell upon the group, the complexity of the situation making it difficult for anyone to articulate a response.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe7QeVAOC9
Kin, his shirt unbuttoned and revealing a muscular torso, appeared as if he was recovering from some intense emotional onslaught. The room around him vibrated with awkward energy, the surrounding juniors offering him expectant glances, expecting him to explain the situation. As he gathered his thoughts, he answered haltingly, a slight grimace crossing his face,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU3J6JOXAe
"Well, it's a bit of a complex situation. All I can say is that I've acted somewhat... recklessly and I feel incredibly embarrassed about it.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzqC4MWSH
His words trailed off, laden with regret and remorse. One of the juniors interjected swiftly,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMUFjl6SJJ
"Don't say it like that P'Kin." There was a reassuring warmth in his words, trying to lessen the weight of Kin's self-reproach.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhotdEtar1
Observing the strained atmosphere, Than studied Kin's heavy expression, his disarrayed appearance, and the lingering tension in his body. Deciding not to probe further, Than chose to offer comfort instead. He moved closer to Kin, the juniors naturally making room for him, his presence a balm to the tense environment.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8PPBQolN
"You seem to have gone through something emotionally intense. Don't worry, you don't need to explain if you're not comfortable. I'll stay with you to help you feel at ease,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq07zCJ0j1u
Than offered with a gentle smile, his words brimming with sincerity and kindness. Taking a squatting position to be at eye level with Kin, his familiar and comforting presence enveloped Kin. The remaining juniors took the hint, slowly departing, and leaving the two alone in their own bubble of shared comfort.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgnItn0LHR
"Maybe you remember, maybe you don't," Than started, a playful lilt in his voice, "but the last time I saw you here at The Hub, you were also in this... condition."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjBxTkzUX
His gaze roved over Kin's half-open shirt and the sculpted muscles beneath, a teasing note in his voice.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEdBLESCC1
"Really, I don't remember,”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BB9hUzZc8
Kin responded, a hint of genuine embarrassment creeping into his voice as he began to button up his shirt from the bottom, his eyes averted.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcNRA4iziB
"Don't worry P'Kin, you still look... hot, in any condition,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YmKrk8Nu
Than replied, his voice rich with affection and a touch of flirtation. A playful smile danced on his lips, aimed at easing Kin's discomfort and lighting up the somber mood.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6XBQuEjE7
Seeing the rippling muscles of Kin's pecs and defined abs, Than found his mind wandering into realms of delicious naughtiness. He recalled the throes of their intense, passionate encounters when Kin, in all his masculine glory, had dominated him relentlessly. The thought sent a thrill through him, and he quickly composed himself, returning his focus to the conversation.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2EcePNMpO
"I have been thinking about you the whole time at the event. I don't know why,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwXwyvKmVj
Than confessed, a soft blush colouring his cheeks, a quiet admittance of the hold Kin had over his thoughts.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF29qGe3GQ5
"How was the event? Did it go well?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kZTLjIeaO
Kin asked, eager to shift the focus and alleviate the intimate tension that had crept into their conversation. The question also served as a momentary distraction from his lingering embarrassment.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvpXf7ufoE
From afar, Loft sat with Korn and Jirat, their conversation winding down. His eyes fell on the sight of Than sitting close to Kin, a pang of surprise shot through him.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA5QTA6Nav
"Isn't that Nong-Than sitting beside Kin?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uCfyXWyYl
Jirat noted, squinting at the pair in the distance, a frown of curiosity creasing his forehead.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrgWcgnVPY
"He might have just arrived from another event," Korn suggested, his expert gaze taking in his high-end attire and perfectly groomed appearance, indicative of Than’s recent attendance at a more formal gathering.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9sswmbRGU
Loft's mind was a turmoil of regret, guilt, and a sense of loss. One impulsive move, one reckless utterance, and he had squandered a wonderful opportunity to connect with Kin. The torment on his face was quite evident, and Korn, noticing this, tried to reassure him.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch3aMbefi8
"Let P'Kin have his time, Loft. Don't worry, he's not the type to hold grudges for too long,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXny66tvJ2L
Korn tried to reassure Loft, yet Loft's gaze remained fixed on Kin and Than. A swirl of emotions coursed through him, jealousy prominent amongst them, as he watched their close interaction from afar.
