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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzPtMdTRl
"Than! You finally made it here,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8BCF9FEEG
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VMeaSweMj
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight, like a superstar. How was the event?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEQQ32yUyZ
"Marvelous, as it should be,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhByuDTEqDj
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxksCqBdr7e
"But something seems...strange. Is there something going on that I should know about?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaxwjtLy3s
His friend paused for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ9jpAMkyN
"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."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcLj7sslW
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,”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0auyUHOFC
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrokwHme3Q
"Now I know... it feels like I really got burned by his fire,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJhW8sK6tk
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPacmIUU3eU
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA2j3q4ZXe
"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,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwwN2i4v4
Jirat spoke, his words marked with sincere concern and a tinge of regret for not stopping the situation sooner.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaiIKOyByo
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFzHsQq4fl
"I'm sorry, guys, for letting this happen,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6Esoy3gj
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwypL94jm
"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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VjNt8b4tK
"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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2inAz9W8ms
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDp1b3IYm
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEG6kBzGD
"Nong-Than,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPIrPgC2Bf
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCib4OlPQ
"Guys, this is Than, my junior from engineering,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXvYu9p9F2
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJXSaalg1F
"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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQXVC5Jhyw
"Is there something going on?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTaKH5KE77
A weighted silence fell upon the group, the complexity of the situation making it difficult for anyone to articulate a response.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWmMct0uuj
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,
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotyaf3EH0U
"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.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkx7y7Mxi
His words trailed off, laden with regret and remorse. One of the juniors interjected swiftly,
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E6p8ni8L6
"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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYgNocspjc
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKUqp84Dqd
"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,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAHhP7bpCL
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkGupu6cXl
"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."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNEX60slv
His gaze roved over Kin's half-open shirt and the sculpted muscles beneath, a teasing note in his voice.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0Vuw0YhM
"Really, I don't remember,”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wm7iWPQlL
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi14x70AUsV
"Don't worry P'Kin, you still look... hot, in any condition,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2e7q8fsMu
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV19F6aTn9C
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyonXyb0pI
"I have been thinking about you the whole time at the event. I don't know why,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJYIKM3sI0
Than confessed, a soft blush colouring his cheeks, a quiet admittance of the hold Kin had over his thoughts.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9NttjL2A
"How was the event? Did it go well?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQtCjdGw4
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2tCiykxl4
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKGQKVWRdw
"Isn't that Nong-Than sitting beside Kin?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2STVXrbGI
Jirat noted, squinting at the pair in the distance, a frown of curiosity creasing his forehead.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yw0X4jt4h
"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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGx62sEjr1
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTHNjy8sAL
"Let P'Kin have his time, Loft. Don't worry, he's not the type to hold grudges for too long,"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxfhUnskb4
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.
