The café was quiet that afternoon, sunlight spilling across the tables. Phawin was carefully arranging desserts while humming softly, lost in thoughts of his first date with Achin the previous evening.

Suddenly, the door chimed, and Phawin’s heart skipped a beat. There he was—Kael, leaning casually against the doorframe, smirking as if he owned the place.

“Well, well… look who’s busy,” Kael said, his eyes flicking toward Phawin. “I thought I’d drop by… see if the cute little shy guy was still making you blush, Achin.”

Achin immediately straightened, crossing his arms. “Kael. What do you want this time?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAzfReyo5qRe
Kael chuckled softly, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Just checking on my favorite rivalry… and maybe stirring a little trouble.”

Phawin’s ears burned. He shifted nervously, glancing at Achin, who stepped protectively in front of him. “Kael… please, don’t—” Phawin started, but Kael ignored him.

Kael’s smirk widened as he made small, flirtatious comments toward Achin, leaning close just enough to make Phawin squirm. “You know… someone this cute must be hard to resist,” Kael teased, nodding toward Phawin.

Phawin’s blush deepened, and he fidgeted, unsure whether to confront Kael or hide. Achin noticed the flustered expression and moved slightly closer, subtle but protective.

“You’re mine, Phawin,” Achin said quietly, brushing a stray hair from Phawin’s forehead. The words were soft but firm, meant only for Phawin to hear.

Kael raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by the display. “Oh? Bold words… but are you sure?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA9B6XB069FU
Phawin, flustered but determined, took a small step forward. “Achin… I’m yours,” he whispered, voice shaky but full of emotion.

Achin’s dark eyes softened, and he placed a hand gently on Phawin’s shoulder. “I know… and I like it when you say that.”

Kael chuckled and finally left, smirking over his shoulder. “We’ll see… next time.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA4gPUjlGl6D
Once the door closed, Phawin exhaled deeply, relief and embarrassment swirling together. Achin wrapped an arm around him gently, pulling him close.

“You handled that well,” Achin murmured. “Even when he tries to mess with us, I know we’re stronger than his games.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAx7qZSkKR8I
Phawin’s heart swelled. Despite the teasing, the rival’s interference, and the chaos, he felt safe in Achin’s presence. And for the first time, he realized that their bond wasn’t just about shy smiles or first dates—it was about trust, protection, and the unspoken understanding that they belonged together.

The rest of the day passed with small moments of laughter, quiet touches, and shared glances. Phawin and Achin’s magical bond seemed to glow brighter, subtle sparks flickering around them whenever their hands brushed.

By evening, as they closed the café and walked home together, Phawin realized that no rival, no mishap, and no teasing could shake what they had built. And Achin, glancing down at Phawin’s shy but happy smile, knew that he had found someone worth protecting—someone who made every chaotic, magical, and romantic moment feel complete.
