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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YPKPsERdP
"Than! You finally made it here,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLR36Kirm
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVJhf6TKf3
"You look absolutely gorgeous tonight, like a superstar. How was the event?"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzCcOg4zJr
"Marvelous, as it should be,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3yMzLyUn7
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOrinfRHO
"But something seems...strange. Is there something going on that I should know about?"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3HCsPk0Jt
His friend paused for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZaO5PN9k
"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."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcRKdfxWti
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,”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo4KtOMJuM
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN7UFcnZ2W
"Now I know... it feels like I really got burned by his fire,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrp9TLBHA7
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvj84sB2pN
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLrvpinOak
"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,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKg0JE0WrD
Jirat spoke, his words marked with sincere concern and a tinge of regret for not stopping the situation sooner.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnccAWz1ukf
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHdvPHlbK
"I'm sorry, guys, for letting this happen,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83XTdl4HW6
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4VYoJKjEf
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmuCCnowlt
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE4J0lXnCd
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUSezdzbEZ
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceZFSFC29G
"Nong-Than,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjo6hAsJfH
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VA6UdjWfh
"Guys, this is Than, my junior from engineering,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sgk1LlBkg
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhiGFCwxZm
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS1yaJWXTl
"Is there something going on?"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65t0vvlo4Y
A weighted silence fell upon the group, the complexity of the situation making it difficult for anyone to articulate a response.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Jp7yY6ci
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKuYDIm1em
"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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MyV0COCaO
His words trailed off, laden with regret and remorse. One of the juniors interjected swiftly,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNfsJuo3GO
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt779Lt7tg7
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtPa4ScMY
"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,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBB6Ztj4o
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUyFuk2D3Y
"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."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wFKFHe8ps
His gaze roved over Kin's half-open shirt and the sculpted muscles beneath, a teasing note in his voice.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxZfKvo5rt
"Really, I don't remember,”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xslEF0JGt
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjfj7jlOg
"Don't worry P'Kin, you still look... hot, in any condition,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiYX9beCp1
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqHZxBeQlc
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CPWzMbhCJ
"I have been thinking about you the whole time at the event. I don't know why,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwMyq5v3xy
Than confessed, a soft blush colouring his cheeks, a quiet admittance of the hold Kin had over his thoughts.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc76463Ofy
"How was the event? Did it go well?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJ04UQwnA
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWWOliykL
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8UnXFDOIX
"Isn't that Nong-Than sitting beside Kin?"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRGFanQv5
Jirat noted, squinting at the pair in the distance, a frown of curiosity creasing his forehead.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLMEBXCeXg
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPqyJjJnDa
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zY0PxpZLy
"Let P'Kin have his time, Loft. Don't worry, he's not the type to hold grudges for too long,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36CEHGvrme
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.
