The sun shone brighter than usual the next morning, casting golden light across the café’s polished counters. Phawin was arranging pastries when the door chimed, signaling a customer’s entrance. But this time, it wasn’t just anyone walking in—it was Kael, Achin’s rival.

Kael was charming in a way that made people immediately notice him: tall, stylish, confident, with a smirk that suggested he knew he was irresistible. He walked past the café with a casual swagger, scanning the room… and landing squarely on Achin.

“Achin,” Kael said smoothly, leaning against the counter with a grin. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Achin’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, though his lips curved in a polite smile. “Kael. Fancy seeing you.”

Phawin, working nearby, felt his chest tighten. Something about Kael’s presence made the air feel heavier, and he instinctively tucked his hands behind his back. His cheeks burned, not just from the usual shyness but from a strange flutter in his chest.

Kael glanced around, noticing Phawin for the first time. “And who’s this?” he asked, his voice playful, almost teasing.

Achin’s eyes flicked toward Phawin. “This is… Phawin. He works here.”

Kael’s smirk widened. “Hmm… cute. I like cute.”

Phawin froze. His shy demeanor didn’t stand a chance against Kael’s confident charm. He looked down, wishing the ground would swallow him. Achin stepped slightly in front of him, protective without saying a word.

“Careful,” Achin said, a low warning in his voice. “He’s mine.”

Kael raised an eyebrow, impressed but not intimidated. “Is that so? We’ll see about that.”

The tension in the café was palpable, though Phawin tried desperately not to show it. Kael continued to linger, flirting openly with Achin, making light conversation that had Achin’s friends raising eyebrows in amusement and mild exasperation.

Meanwhile, Phawin’s own friends whispered from the corner. “Oh no… he’s trouble,” one said, nudging Phawin. “But kind of exciting, huh?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdMrtHzMpY
Phawin’s ears turned bright pink. “I… I don’t… I just want Achin…”

Achin, catching Phawin’s flustered glance, softened his expression. The teasing smirk faded, replaced by something warm and protective. He leaned slightly closer to Phawin, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. “Don’t worry,” he murmured. “No one else matters.”

Kael, noticing the exchange, raised a hand in mock surrender but didn’t leave. His presence remained a constant challenge, teasing Achin and creating little sparks of tension. Phawin, shy but determined, found himself wanting to stay close, wanting to prove that his feelings weren’t just a passing crush—they were real.

By the time the café quieted down that afternoon, the trio had settled into an uneasy rhythm. Kael flirted, Achin deflected, and Phawin blushed and fumbled around them both. Magical sparks occasionally danced around Phawin, unnoticed by most, subtly emphasizing his growing bond with Achin.

That night, Phawin lay in bed, replaying every glance, every word exchanged. His heart ached with nervous excitement, a mix of fear and anticipation. Achin’s rival had arrived—but instead of feeling defeated, Phawin realized something surprising: the challenge only made his feelings for Achin stronger.

And Achin, lying in his own room later that night, couldn’t stop thinking about Phawin’s shy smiles, his gentle movements, and the tiny sparks of magic that seemed to follow him everywhere. Kael might be a rival—but Phawin was… different. Special. Irresistible.

The stage was set. A playful, teasing, magical, and romantic battle had begun—one that would test their hearts, their courage, and the undeniable pull between Achin and Phawin.
