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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBDS7H2UNl
"You can eat more than I thought, P'Kin," he remarked, a teasing note evident in his voice.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXXVzvZKYZ
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZkd75ln3O
Loft's brows quirked in amusement. "Inside you? You mean like parasites?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstmIEDBLYd
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EGclJhMl6
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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwT6XtmdB
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TIFoR3oau
Caught off guard by the slightly naughty vibe from Kin's words, Loft blinked in surprise. Then, curiosity piqued, he asked,
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn6VqpdoDv
"What? What is it then?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz7fsdPNAg
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,
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDT3FQ1L2Z
"...my stomach."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYtT9ekr4
The unexpected response caused Loft to burst out laughing, relief and amusement combining into an infectious peal of laughter.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BT4IQrO0w
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw92en0DrR
"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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl5Itk4IDq
Loft looked at him with concern, noting the signs of fatigue in his companion's face.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG7ICbVTkE
"You look really exhausted, P'Kin. How about taking a seat?" he suggested, gesturing to the last vacant seat nearby.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p2Nu9wYSU
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon5wGMYmCk
Loft chuckled at his comment. "Such a good guy," he teased, then his expression turned serious.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP47KaWMCZ
"Can I ask you a bit of a serious question?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZtT2TGHK6
"What is it?" Curiosity piqued, Kin met his gaze.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbV0D5C2RK
Loft hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you consider having someone? I mean, like, getting into a serious relationship?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwn7bgUs0y
Kin was silent for a moment before answering, a mix of sadness and playfulness in his tone.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ecUvkMRHH
"Well, I do consider it, but it seems like I'm not the one who's lucky in love."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxux5wstw1
"Why would you say that?” Loft frowned, confusion clouding his features.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgguwCrY0ym
“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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC27ak65PW
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSayVEQWNkD
"And what about you? Have you ever considered?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLyPVMNY4v
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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIcuiJ1nJU
Kin nodded, understanding in his gaze. "Maybe you're still enjoying campus life, your music, your band?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmZgu8clS
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF3RCDJFS8
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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDrjCuPo6o
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcD0ks74zY
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapfGkuMVbV
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ZXiiBPW7
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne7RuGkwKF
"Maybe you're over your limit today," Loft mumbled, watching Kin with a mix of amusement and concern.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1E9GSVzX
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ij11YMPow
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXXIG6cpZ
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQcpgdj1kw
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA76Nxn9jN
"You're really something, P'Kin," Loft murmured under his breath, so softly that only he could hear it.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnrQSiHnll
“Now I’m starting to understand why you always have those guys around, hot or not, just as you say."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm0jRMyCt6
His words hung in the air, a silent confession to the sleeping figure on his shoulder.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFrV8taxcq

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqCVkgLi69
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgF5BHazxi
"P'Kin," Loft gently coaxed, and Kin roused, his eyes squinting against the harsh train lights.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Ye26zirh
"Are we at your stop yet?" Kin asked, his voice still laced with sleep.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsgK7k07h7
Loft shook his head, "No, it's actually your stop. We've already passed mine two stations back."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYAInqsND9
Kin looked up in surprise. "Why didn't you get off?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFoMR5K910
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpwNGAiK3Q
"You could've just woken me up," Kin mumbled, his voice betraying his gratitude.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcDx7bkT5G
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIXdlYKFt1
At the station exit, Kin attempted to send Loft back. "You really didn't have to come all this way," he said.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNXnTCI3c
But Loft insisted, his concern for Kin evident in his words. "You were tired, and it's late. It's better to be safe."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBRcUCwL1Z
Kin smiled, flexing his arm in jest. "Don’t worry about me, my physique is my best defense. Thieves wouldn’t dare approach me."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dt2Uua3go
Loft chuckled, "Of course they would. And they might even be more aggressive to make sure they can take you down.”
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDU982mbc
Shaking his head, Kin replied, "Seriously, this area is quite safe. You should go home."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTEYuSDbP2
"Actually, I'm tired too. I'll call a ‘Grab-taxi’ to get back," Loft stated, gesturing to his phone.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskBox0n3k1
"Alright then," with a sigh, Kin gave in.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9GKpQcm18
As they exited the station, Kin pointed down the road. "My place is just three or four minutes from here."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROi9uGFkkb
"Really? That's close," Loft noted. "In that case, I'll walk you there."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErw1qzCh5v
Too tired to protest, Kin simply nodded. They walked together to Kin's home, a charming mid-end low-rise condo building.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mteTPn6uY
"This place is nice," Loft observed as they approached.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MgVYnQPs
"Yeah, it's quite pretty," Kin agreed. He then turned to Loft, a teasing smile on his lips.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22hy3XK4lQ
"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…"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OaAvgJpBa
Loft grinned at Kin's words, a playful sparkle in his eyes. "Wasn't I sweet?" he said, his voice dripping with mischief.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2OmuHoI5v
They shared a final laugh before parting ways, Kin waving him off with a soft "See you, Nong-Loft."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBloCguRx2f
Loft, in response, turned around dramatically, clutching his heart in a mock heart attack, bringing their day to a light-hearted close.
