The next morning, the café buzzed with its usual energy. Steam curled from coffee cups, soft jazz played in the background, and the rain had finally slowed to a gentle drizzle. Phawin moved quietly among the tables, carefully delivering drinks with a polite smile.

It wasn’t unusual for customers to linger just to see him. There was something about his shy, delicate demeanor, the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled, that drew people in like moths to a warm light.

“Phawin, you’re at it again!” teased one of his male friends from behind the counter. “Look at that table over there. They’re staring at you like you’re a dessert display!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANASyjT6zK6Rl
Phawin’s cheeks flamed pink. “I-I’m just… taking their orders…” he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

Meanwhile, Achin had returned, casually leaning against the counter. He had that same effortless charm that made people notice him instantly—but today, his focus wasn’t on the café or the coffee. His eyes were fixed on Phawin.

“Looks like you have admirers everywhere,” Achin said softly, a teasing smile tugging at his lips.

Phawin froze, unsure if he’d heard correctly. “I… I don’t… they’re just customers…” he stammered, trying to sound nonchalant.
128Please respect copyright.PENANAx47OAl7Efy
Achin chuckled, the sound low and warm. “Cute people always attract attention, you know. But don’t worry. I’m only looking at you.”

Phawin felt his heart skip a beat, and he dropped the tray he was holding. The coffee cups clattered harmlessly to the counter, drawing a chorus of “oohs” and laughter from nearby tables.

“See?” Achin said, grinning, “Even your coffee can’t resist you.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAKnlpHynvK3
Phawin’s ears burned, and he hurried to collect the cups, mumbling apologies. His friends couldn’t stop giggling, and one of them nudged Achin playfully. “Be careful! He’s shy, you know. Don’t make him faint!”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFpXERIoGTK
Achin leaned closer to Phawin, lowering his voice. “If you faint, I’ll catch you. I think I might like catching you a lot.”

Phawin’s blush deepened to the point of near-invisibility under his pale cheeks. He wanted to hide behind the counter, but something in Achin’s teasing tone made him hesitate. Maybe… just maybe… he liked this attention.

Just then, a little magical mishap occurred—a tiny spark from Phawin’s secret cupid power flickered across the café. A nearby customer suddenly felt an uncontrollable blush, knocking over their napkin holder in surprise. Achin raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment, letting the moment pass with a soft, amused smile aimed at Phawin.

Throughout the morning, Achin lingered, chatting lightly with Phawin, teasing him gently, and subtly testing the waters of this new connection. Phawin, shy but secretly thrilled, found himself opening up more than usual—laughing at Achin’s jokes, stumbling over his words in a cute, endearing way, and noticing little things about Achin that made his heart race.

By the time the lunch rush ended, the café was quieter. Achin leaned on the counter, watching Phawin stack dishes. “You’re amazing,” he said quietly. “Not just cute… amazing.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAklL0RIR8Wg
Phawin’s hands froze mid-motion. His heart pounded as he whispered, almost to himself, “I… I like you…”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAdqv5QKm3eE
Achin’s smile softened, and he reached out, brushing a stray strand of wet hair from Phawin’s forehead. “I know,” he said gently. “And I like you too.”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQRXyVtUgzL
The world around them seemed to pause for a moment. Between the soft jazz, the lingering smell of coffee, and the gentle drizzle outside, something unspoken had begun—an invisible thread tying them together, delicate, chaotic, and utterly magical.

Phawin realized then that being shy and cute didn’t just make people like him—it had brought Achin into his life. And somehow, that was exactly the kind of trouble he had been hoping for.
