"GOODNESS!" Kim's manager shockingly exclaimed upon seeing Kim and his boyfriend's position on the couch. She has her hands almost covering her eyes out of reflex.
Kim is sitting on the couch, and Porchay is sitting on his lap while facing him. Kim's hands are hiding inside Porchay's sweater, but she's sure as hell those arms are wrapped around Porchay's waist.
"CAN YOU TWO PLEASE LOCK THE DOOR IF YOU'LL BE ON EACH OTHER'S LAP?"
Kim laughed hard at how frustrated his manager looks and sounds. She almost looks like she wants to pull her hair out of her head. Kim and Porchay are the clingiest couple she has seen. These two don't feel any shyness—not even a cent of embarrassment—and even in public, they would cling to each other. And honestly, Kim's manager will never get used to it, even when the couple is already nearing their third year. She's been putting up with Kim and his possessiveness, horniness, and clinginess over Porchay for almost 3 years now.
"You're acting like it's the first time you've seen us like this. You even took a photo of me and Bambi in this position before." Kim teased her more by pulling his boyfriend even closer to him, their chests glued to each other and Porchay's face nuzzling deep in his neck.
"Kim, please never ever remind me of all the stress I had to endure when you uploaded that photo!" His manager begged. She walked towards the table and grabbed Kim's clothes to be sent to dry cleaning before walking back towards the door. She faces Kim and Porchay again, then says, "I still vividly remember how stressful that week was, Kim!" She steps out of the dressing room and is about to close the door when...
"Wait! Take a photo of me and Bambi again! I bet my fans miss my boyfriend more than me now."
But all Kim got was an annoyed grunt from his manager and the loud thud of the door closing.
"P'Kim! I told you to stop teasing P'V!" Porchay playfully slapped his boyfriend's shoulder before chuckling.
It's been 2 years since Kim uploaded his and Porchay's photo from his dressing room that was taken by his manager. To say that it blew out is an understatement. It trended minutes after Kim posted the photo, and his fans recognized the man sitting on his lap as the lucky fan boy, who also trended the day before for having more than 5 minutes of fan sign duration. They called Porchay "the luckiest WIK fan boy" with how Kim flirted with him in front of everyone in the small auditorium. He trended again the following day as "Bambi," just like Kim's caption was.
That same day, Kim also released an official announcement about their relationship. The man he's with is his boyfriend, and he loves him just as much.
Their photo was all over social media for weeks. Wherever Porchay goes, he can hear people gossiping around him about WIK and his boyfriend. There were positive and negative comments. Some were hurtful, and some were just plain rude and pure hate towards him.
Kim was able to stop the hate directed at Porchay when he asked for assistance from his brother. Kinn agreed in an instant for the reason that Kim had never asked for his help before, and this was the first time he did. Adding to that is that Porchay is his boyfriend's brother. Kinn knew he needed to protect Porchay, too.
Within the next 3 days, Kinn was able to collect the accounts that were throwing death threats at Porchay. Arm was able to gather the personal information of the account owners, and Kim was able to file a criminal case against them.
The 4th to 7th days were full of WIK interviews, from live coverage to magazines, tabloids, news outlets, and even radios—all of those had the same goal: to dig deeper and make Kim talk more about his relationship.
It wasn't just Kim's manager who was restless and stressed throughout that week. Everyone on Kim's team, including his PR, makeup artist, hair stylist, photographers, and even his PA, was drained for a week after that incident.
When the issue died down, Kim slowly introduced Porchay to his fans and to the public. He would freely answer questions about his boyfriend, mention things about Porchay, and sometimes post pictures with Chay.
Slowly, those who were adamant about his relationship were able to find Kim and his boyfriend admirable.
The hate for Porchay vanished in an instant when he attended Kim's music show. He lined up just like the rest of Kim's fans, waited for his turn to get inside the venue, and sat on his designated chair—not the one that Kim reserved for him. They realized that Porchay was just like them—a WIK fan—but Chay just happened to be the luckiest one.
After getting the hate for being Kim's boyfriend, Chay became WIK fans' favorite fan boy. They would often ask for Porchay updates from Kim, give freebies to Chay whenever he attended Kim's events, and even take photos of him and post them on social media, just like they take near-professional photos of WIK.
"Okay, okay. I will not tease her again, Bambi. You know I'll do whatever you say, right?" Kim tightens his arms around his boyfriend's waist, his right thumb softly rubbing on Chay's delicate skin.
"Anything?" Porchay pried, moving his head out of Kim's comfortable neck.
"Anything, Bambi." Kim pecks his boyfriend's lips—once, twice, until they're kissing softly and Porchay's arms run up to his boyfriend's neck, his hands on Kim's nape—a few fingers playing with Kim's hair.
Chay pulled away from the kiss when he felt Kim already nibbling on his lips. They need to stop now or else.... "Hmm... Can I request Polaroid photos from you?" He asked while wiping his boyfriend's lips, which were now covered in his own lip balm.
"Polaroids? For your WIK wall?"
"No, P'Kim!" he instantly dismisses.
"For what then, Bambi?"
Porchay bit his lower lip, and shyness and nervousness collided in his eyes. "For freebies..." His voice was almost whispering.
Kim almost choked before he cleared his throat. For freebies? His boyfriend will take Polaroid photos of him for freebies? Weren't those going to be limited editions? A rare find.
"For your concert, Phi..." Porchay pursed his lips. "It was P'Khun's idea."
"Hmm..." Kim tilted his head a bit to the side, urging his boyfriend to continue talking.
"I asked P'Khun for suggestions, then he said to give out WIK polaroids, and then yesterday he messaged me and said he had already bought me the films."
"How many polaroid are you planning to give out?"
"Uhh, P'Khun said he bought 20 packs, and there are 10 films per pack."
"Bambi!! That's 200, love!" Kim exclaimed after mentally doing the quick math; he widened his eyes upon realizing it. "Do I need to come up with 200 different poses?"
Porchay burst out laughing at him. He shook his head and said, "Of course not, Phi. You can do the same pose or just random photos like a stolen shot."
Kim suddenly leans his head on Porchay's chest, nuzzling close and comfortably. He closed his eyes when his shoulder suddenly felt heavy—right, he just finished an event. It really slipped out of his mind the moment he saw his boyfriend backstage waiting for him—now he's feeling the heaviness of his body. "Okay, deal," he mumbles as he relaxes on his boyfriend's chest.
Kim thinks he heard his Bambi's excited glee before he felt Porchay's arms around his body. Chay's hand is rubbing his back, making his tense shoulders relax.

• WIK'S CONCERT DAY •
"Why do we even have to be there 8 hours before the concert starts?" Ohm complains while sitting on the couch as he waits for Porchay to finish fixing his hair.
"To get freebies and give out freebies, of course!" Porchay answered in an as-a-matter-of-fact manner.
Porchay will go to the concert with Ohm, and no, Kim didn't agree and didn't like the idea at first. "We have drivers; they can drive you and Ohm to the venue, Bambi," Kim told him the night before. But all Kim got was a firm "no" from Porchay and a kiss on his nose after counting all the Polaroid photos of Kim that he took over the last 3 weeks. 200 pieces of WIK polaroid were safely placed inside a pouch.
Now, Porchay is wearing a white cropped long-sleeve top that is fitted and perfectly hugs his upper body. He tops it off with a mesh, net-style black top. He's wearing black pants and black platform shoes, a chain necklace—one of Kim's—on his neck, and his hair is styled—pushed back, showing his forehead.
"Let's go!" He turned to Ohm as he grabbed his bag and, after brushing his hair back, "I'm excited!" Indeed, he is, by the way he hops towards his best friend and pulls Ohm up from the couch, and how he does little dances while walking out of the compound, it shows how ecstatic he is.
Riding in Ohm's car, they drive towards WIK's concert venue.
The concert starts at 8 in the evening, but Porchay and Ohm reached the venue before 2 in the afternoon, giving them a whole six hours to roam around.
The moment Porchay reached the venue, there's already a post on Twitter about his arrival. People were really waiting for him, expecting him to arrive earlier. WIK's fans are already familiar with Porchay that they knew he would roam around like a normal fan. Porchay does that more often.
The first agenda is to line up for strapping. They went straight to the staff desk and showed their tickets. Some staff recognized him, and he greeted them back. They left once Porchay got his straps for his 1:1 photo-op, goodbye session, and high touch. He's also now wearing a lanyard with a WIK pass on it.
"Why do you have to buy your own ticket when P'Kim already gave you one?"
"The ticket that P'Kim gave is a complimentary ticket; it doesn't have the benefits. I'll just get the fan benefits on this one." He shows the ticket he bought himself. "Then we will use and sit on this one," showing the ticket given by Kim.
"What will you do with the ticket you bought then?"
Porchay shrugged. "Give it to someone else and explain to them that it doesn't include any fan benefits?" he questionably answered.
"Ohm!" Porchay suddenly felt anxious. "I'm scared!" He exclaimed as he grabbed his best friend's arm and clung to Ohm.
"There's no backing out now, Porchay. You wanted this, right?" Ohm said, almost sounding like his Hia whenever Porsche scolds him.
"What if they'll crowd me? I don't like that, Ohm." Porchay pursed his lips and nervously stepped back.
Ohm pulled his best friend to the corner to help him calm down a bit. "Here's the plan." He started while looking around. "We will walk around normally, and when someone approaches you, whether they will give you a freebie or if they will just say 'Hi', give them a Polaroid," he explained calmly. "If you can't approach, if you're too shy to make the first move, let them do it. I'm sure there are a lot of WIK fans who want to say 'Hi' to you."
Porchay nodded while biting his lower lip nervously. "Okay." He breathes.
As they planned, both of them roamed around normally. Looking around the fan projects and gifts for WIK. He smiles as he watches his boyfriend's fans meet their friends, exchange laughter, and take pictures with each other.
He was like that before. Porchay is still like that, even now that he's already Kim's boyfriend.
Kim is his boyfriend, and he loves him so much—but WIK, WIK is someone who gave Porchay comfort when he felt down. WIK and his music were there when Chay felt alone. WIK has that special place in Porchay's heart, and he met his boyfriend through WIK and as WIK.
"Uhm... Hi, P'Chay." Two girls hesitantly approached them. They were wearing the dress code given by WIK himself: black and white. They were smiling at Porchay, excitedly waving at him for a 'Hi'. "We have these... We want to give you some," one of them said. Her hands are shaking as she hands a small packet of cookies to Chay and Ohm. The cookies are decorated with a cartoon face of WIK from one of his MVs and his name.
Porchay was so happy; it's his first freebie of the day. "Thank you so much. These look so yummy!" He exclaimed as he reached for the cookies. He was smiling widely at them, and before he forgot it, he fished out the small pouch and took two polaroid out.
Ohm put his index finger on his lips, motioning for the girls not to make any huge movements of sound that might cause a commotion. They nodded at him.
"Here..." Porchay handed them the polaroid upside down. He watches how their hands shake when they take it from him, and how their eyes widen in shock upon turning the polaroid around. "Thank you!" Porchay said before waving at them, leaving the girls hugging each other as they squeal in happiness.
"See, it wasn't that hard." Ohm said as he encouragingly tapped his best friend's shoulder.
A few hours passed, and Porchay saw a fan sitting on the cold tiled floor. She was looking around and watching people walk around her. Porchay doesn't know what got into him, but he walked over to her and approached her. "Hi!"
The girl's eyes widened in shock. She was about to stand up in panic, but Porchay shook his head and sat in front of her instead. "Are you watching the concert?"
She pouted, her shoulders slumped down, and she sighed heavily before shaking her head. "The tickets went out fast," she mumbles.
"Do you want to watch?" Porchay whispered, just enough for him and the fan to hear. "Here..."
Tears immediately flowed down the girl's face upon seeing the ticket that Porchay was handing her. "But there's no fan benefit anymore; it's a watch-only ticket," Porchay apologetically added.
"No, it's more than enough, P'Chay," she said between her sobs. She reached for the ticket and thanked Porchay non-stop.
"Also this..." Porchay handed one of the Polaroids to her. A photo of Kim shirtless. His back is facing the camera, but he's looking back; he's scrunching his nose, and his hand is in a peace sign. That was taken when Tankhun suddenly asked for a pool party at the compound, and everyone in the family should attend.
The fan's tears kept flowing; she's clutching on the ticket and Polaroid like it's her lifeline and continuously thanking Porchay.
For the rest of the day, they followed Ohm's plan. Ohm would always make a quiet gesture before Porchay gave the polaroid, making sure they wouldn't get that much attention because the last thing they wanted was to have people crowd on them.
Three hours before the concert started, Porchay and Ohm decided to eat at a nearby restaurant. While eating, a WIK fan approaches. "Hi, P'Chay. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Oh no! No, it's okay."
"I have these WIK fans that I want to give to you if it's okay."
"Yes!" Porchay answered right away, making the girl chuckle. "Yes, of course. I want it." Nodding eagerly, Porchay gets the fan that the girl is handing him.
Porchay gave a WIK Polaroid in exchange for the WIK fan, but what he didn't expect was how the girl squealed loudly, almost getting the attention of everyone in the restaurant. Ohm was so busy with his food that he even forgot to advise the fan to keep quiet.
The WIK Polaroid he gave is a photo of Kim with a mischievous smirk on his face. That was taken when Porchay almost cried after Kim gave him a new guitar.
Both Ohm and Chay finished their food fast and left the restaurant fast.
Now lining up at the merchandize booth, Porchay is looking at the small pamphlet, checking out things he wanted to buy. "Why do you have to buy them when your boyfriend can just give them to you?" His best friend asked him.
"I have my own money. I want to buy these on my own."
There are 5 polaroid left, and they're already lining up at the entrance. Without thinking anything, he poked the girl lining up in front of him and handed her a Polaroid. "Please, don't make any loud sounds," he pleaded before the girl even let out her scream.
He did the same to the girl behind Ohm, who almost cried upon seeing a photo of WIK sleeping on Chay's shoulder.
Inside the arena, they both sat on the chair reserved for them in the 2nd row, center stage. He has the best view of the whole stage; he can see Kim perfectly from his seat.
With three polaroid left, he once again shyly poked the fan sitting beside him. A WIK fan boy almost jumped in his seat, seeing a Polaroid of WIK where he's pouting. It was taken when Porchay said no to Kim buying him a new laptop; the one he's currently using is still perfectly fine. Kim ended up sulking at him that day.
He gave the other one to the fan beside Ohm. She's a young girl, and beside her is her mom. Porchay decided to give them the remaining two polaroid, and the kid was thanking him over and over again.
"Mission success!" Ohm whispered proudly at Porchay.
"That was fun!" Porchay whispered back. "I got a lot of freebies too!" He lifted up his bag full of freebies from WIK's fans.
★・・・✧✿✧・・・★
"1:1 photo-op fan benefit will start in 5 minutes. First row, please line up on the right side of the stage."
Now that the concert has ended, only the fans who successfully secured a WIK Pass are left inside the arena. The stage where WIK performed minutes ago now has a black cover, making a small portion of the stage closed off and private. The front and sides of the stage are covered, so no one from the crowd can see what's happening inside. Kim wanted it to be private. He wanted it to be between him and the fan only.
One by one, fans get up on stage to take their 1:1 photo op. When it was Porchay's time to stand up from his seat, he realized that he would be the last one on the line.
He waited outside the black divider. His heart is pounding, and he doesn't know if the pose he thought of would be a great idea.
When it's Porchay's time, he breathes a few deep breaths before walking inside the makeshift room.
Kim immediately jumped on his seat and stood at the sight of his boyfriend. "BAMBI!!!!" He excitedly exclaimed. He ran towards Porchay, not letting his boyfriend take another step, and tightly wrapped his arms around Porchay.
"Phi!" Porchay's nervousness quickly vanishes, and his tense shoulder relaxes upon Kim's hug.
Kim looks at him from head to toe. "Bambi, you look." He bit his lower lip as his eyes fixed on one part of Porchay's body—his exposed tummy. "Wow. Your outfit; it suits you so much, Bambi." Porchay quickly felt his cheeks heating up with the compliment given by his boyfriend.
"Ohm helped me pick my clothes." Chay said with blush creeping on his cheeks. Kim's arms that are tightly wrapped around his waist swiftly moved inside his net top, the elder’s hand on Chay's exposed skin—thumb softly rubbing on his soft and delicate skin.
"And your make-up?" Between Kim's soft touches on his waist and his eyes roaming all over his body, Kim then moved closer—pulling Porchay way closer to him until their chests were cemented on each other.
A controlled shriek was heard from Porchay before he wrapped his arms around Kim's neck for support as he almost... almost lost his balance when Kim pulled him in closer. "I did my make-up, my hair too." He breathes against his boyfriend's shoulder.
Kim just hummed; his eyes now wander from Porchay's eyes that are covered in peach and pinkish hue with a little bit of glitter, his nose that is perfectly contoured, those cheeks that are now in deep red, and Porchay's plump lips that's in natural shade of red. Kim leaned closer to his boyfriend's ear before whispering "You did well, Bambi. You look so pretty right now." His voice went down an octave, clearly teasing his already blushed boyfriend. "So pretty for WIK." He added before sniff-kissing Porchay's temple.
Kim's voice gave shivers to Porchay, the hairs from his nape standing proudly and his chest pounding hard. "Phi..." He mumbled nervously, he looked around and saw how every single staff was eye-ing them and watching their every move.
A light push on Kim's chest from Porchay was made, giving them a small amount of space from each other. He felt shy. Yes, he and Kim are known to be a very clingy couple from everyone in Kim's staff but only a small number of them had witnessed their clinginess. This has been the first time that all of his boyfriend's staff, and even their bodyguards are watching them. "Phi... They're watching."
Instead of stopping; Kim just once again pulled Porchay close. Nuzzling his face in his boyfriend's neck and inhaling Porchay's scent. Vanilla with a little hint of fruity scent from coconut. Addicting. "You smell nice, Bambi."
"P'Kim, they're watching us." Porchay gulped upon feeling Kim's lips touching his sensitive skin.
Kim only stopped teasing his boyfriend when his manager let out a cough—an interfering one. Letting them out of their small bubble, a small world they quickly built on their own upon seeing each other. He groaned before placing a swift peck on Porchay's lips and untangling himself from his boyfriend.
Kim sighs after reluctantly letting go from Porchay's waist, but his hand immediately finds Porchay's, intertwining their fingers together— Kim leads the way in front of the photographer. While holding Porchay's hand, that's when his boyfriend's wrist full of different colored straps caught his eyes. "Bambi, how did you...?"
"I bought my own ticket to secure a pass," Porchay said while smiling proudly at his boyfriend. "Now, I need that 1:1 photo-op benefit, P'WIK." With a teasing manner he called his boyfriend by his stage name.
Kim laughed at him and nodded. "Okay. Okay, Bambi. What pose should we do?"
Porchay breathes heavily before getting a ring from his pocket. He was about to explain what pose they would do when Kim—his boyfriend—snatched the ring from his hand and went down on his knees.
Gasps and squeals were heard from around them. That's when Porchay noticed that all of Kim's staff has their phones drawn out—surely taking photos and videos of them. Even the staff from the strapping booth are all there giggling.
"Bambi..." Kim called for him. He blinks a few times before looking down at Kim. He was supposed to be the one kneeling in front of Kim; he was supposed to be the one proposing.
"Pose first, Bambi. P'Note is waiting." Note, the photographer didn't mind waiting. He was smiling at them, his lips already reaching his ears with how wide his smile was.
Porchay then faces Kim and poses; his face is so red, and his hand is shaking. Kim is holding his hand, slipping the ring that was supposed to be his onto Porchay's finger. P'Note is taking almost a hundred photos.
"Marry me, Bambi." Kim mouthed while still on one knee and looking up at Porchay.
Porchay didn't mind it; he thought Kim was just joking. So he decided to just help his boyfriend up.
Shyness now eating him up, Porchay hurriedly turned his back and walked out of the room. But no, Kim didn't let him.
Kim grips his hand, making him halt his steps and turning him around to face Kim again. "You haven't given me your answer, Bambi." Kim said, his voice deep and so masculine.
"P-phi..." Porchay gulped. He didn't expect or consider this kind of scenario happening when he chose what pose to do. No, he didn't foresee Kim bending down on one knee and asking him for marriage. Not in a fan-benefit photo-op.
"Marry me, Bambi." Kim once again repeated the words he mouthed to Porchay minutes ago. It made the staff surrounding them scream louder, squeal with a higher pitch, and almost jump in their places.
Porchay glances around; Kim's manager, make-up artist, and hairstylist are all smiling widely at him. They have their phones recording them, while they all give him a thumbs up. The bodyguards, a mixture of Theerapanyakul guards and WIK's usual bodyguards, are all nodding at them while clapping their hands, clearly very happy with what they are seeing. The other staff are doing the same, including the one he recognizes from the strapping booth. Everyone is happy for him—for them. That's when Porchay started crying.
"Why are..." Kim didn't even get to finish his words when Porchay started wailing. The heartwarming laughter of the staff erupted at the same time Porchay cried. "Bambi..." he chuckled before wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. Hugging Porchay tightly as he rubbed the younger's back to calm him down.
Kim patiently waited for his boyfriend to calm down; his wails now turned to soft sniffles and sobs. "P-hi..." Porchay mumbled faintly. Kim only hummed in return. "P'Kim, a-are you sure?" The younger asked between his sobs.
Kim let go of Chay to cup his boyfriend's face. "More than sure, Bambi." he said with much love and sincerity, and Porchay felt it. He felt it, and he couldn't help but cry again. He just wanted to take a cute photo with WIK; he just wanted to tick one thing off his fan boy bucket list. "I do not see myself in the future without you, Bambi. I never even wanted to imagine a life without you. If you'll ask me again, yes, I am sure. I want to marry you, Bambi. Please, marry me too."
"PHI KIM!!!" Porchay throws himself at Kim, making his boyfriend support his weight on him. His arms are tightly wrapped around Kim's neck, and his face is buried on Kim's shoulder. His sobs were getting louder and louder, and Kim couldn't help but find Porchay cute despite the tears in his eyes.
"Will you marry me, Bambi?" Kim whispered in Porchay's ears.
Porchay's wail went louder as he nodded his head eagerly. His sobs were so overpowering that Kim couldn't hear his answer.
"Calm down first, Bambi." Kim coos at his boyfriend.
"I w-want to..." Porchay started while panting from crying too much. "I want to marry P'Kim," he finally said, making Kim let out the breath he's been holding on to for so long.
"I love you." Kim stated while wiping Porchay's tears.
Porchay purses his lips at Kim; he's looking down at his finger, where the ring perfectly sits on his ring finger.
"The ring... I'll give you your engagement ring at home."
"Huh?"
"I have already bought an engagement ring. I hid it in my office at home."
It took Porchay a minute before he fully understood what Kim said. Kim already has an engagement ring. He had already bought a ring. Kim really has plans to propose to him. Kim really planned on marrying him. Kim wanted to marry him.
"You... you bought a ring?"
"I did, yes. I was planning on proposing later at the family dinner, but..." Kim chuckled at him, clearly teasing him. "You decided to pull out a ring and propose to me as your photo-op pose."
Porchay shyly nodded at his boyfriend. It was just a silly pose for Porchay, nothing serious. But Kim, already having a plan for proposing, took the chance that Porchay opened up for him.
"The ring..." Kim held his hand and cradled the ring. "A safety pin?" His thumb caressing the ring softly, like it's one of the most precious gems he had seen.
Porchay blushes, his cheeks feeling hot and red. "I... You always wear a safety pin necklace, so I thought of giving it a partner ring," he mumbled shyly. "I did that ring. I bent the safety pin to a circle, but it doesn't close, or else it won't fit you."
Kim lifted Porchay's hand right at his eye level as he answered "You made it?" While checking on his boyfriend's hand.
Porchay nodded as he let his boyfriend caress the finger in his hand. "What are you looking for, phi? It's just a safety pin ring." He chuckled softly.
"Did you hurt yourself while doing it? I'm looking for any wounds, Bambi."
Porchay's chuckle went louder, until he's already laughing while shaking his head. "Phi. I did not hurt myself. I just bent the safety pin, that's it."
"But..." Kim purses his lips as he continues checking on Porchay's hand. The thought of his boyfriend hurting himself actually terrifies him, even when it's just a simple scratch—small or big. He promised not just to himself but to their whole family that he will take care of Porchay, whatever happens he will not let his boyfriend get hurt. Tankhun sometimes teases him for overreacting, but what can Kim do? Porchay means so much to him and he can't bear seeing his boyfriend get hurt. "But it might prick you..."
Porchay cupping his boyfriend's face said "I put a good amount of super glue at the clasp of the pin to secure the sharp end before bending it."
"Are you sure, Bambi?" The younger one just nodded at Kim. "Then... Can you make another one of these?"
"This is yours, phi!" Before Porchay can take off the safety pin ring, Kim has already stopped him. He pushes the ring back in Chay's ring finger. "It's yours now, Bambi, I proposed to you using that ring, but can you make me a new one?"
"Of course..." The younger pouted as he nodded his head. "Of course I'll make you one."
"Thank you, Bambi," Kim said softly before pecking his lip and forehead. "I love you."
Porchay pouted his lips more at him before replying, "I love you too."
As much as Kim wanted to keep savoring the moment of finally being engaged to his boyfriend, they've been behind schedule already. They needed to start with the high-touch fan benefit, and Porchay decided to just stay at the back stage and wait for Kim to finish.
Kim then guided Porchay out of the stage; they both emerged from the makeshift divider and walked straight to the backstage.
From the fans' point of view, Porchay is hugging Kim's waist, and Kim's arm is on Porchay's shoulder. They have huge smiles on their faces and were chuckling while walking down the stage.
"They look so happy, I wonder what happened inside," one of the fans said.
They can hear the cheers and claps from inside the makeshift room. They can hear the chuckles and squeals. It was making them excited about whatever was happening inside, and the sight of Kim and Chay looking so happy made them excited to know what happened. Is there good news?
★・・・✧✿✧・・・★
"Porchay and I are engaged." Kim suddenly said while he lifted his wine glass when his family asked for some words from him.
It's past midnight already; they're just having their late family dinner at home. Everyone was there, including his cousins.
"ENGAGED!?!?" Porsche's voice roared inside the huge dining area. "Don't you two think that it's too early for marriage? Porchay is still in university, Kim!"
"Hia..." Chay pouted at how his brother reacted; he wasn't expecting that. He thought Porsche would be the first person to congratulate them.
"Porchay, don't get me wrong. I'm not against you and Kim getting married, but you're too young for marriage!"
"Porchay and I wouldn't get married until he graduates, Porsche. And I am not asking for your permission; I am telling every one of you that Porchay and I will get married." Kim answered for his boyfriend. His hand found Porchay's, and their fingers intertwined, tightly holding each other's hands. "Porchay will graduate in two years; that's when we will start planning the wedding."
"Hia, P'Kim and I will be married probably in the next 5 years, so calm yourself down first."
"Bambi? 5 years?" Kim turned to his boyfriend, looking at Porchay as if he was telling some kind of joke. "3 years is enough. After you graduate, we'll start planning the wedding."
"Okay, 3 years. Hia. P'Kim and I will get married in 3 years." He corrected his statement, and all he got from Porsche was a frustrated sigh and chuckles from everybody else.
"Let him get married with Kim, so the credit cards of the rest of us will be safe from Porchay." Vegas butted in while laughing, his boyfriend and brother agreeing with what he said; even Kinn agreed.
Kim turned to Vegas with a smirk on his face. "That's what you all thought." He then faces his boyfriend. "Bambi, why don't you tell them your plan for our wedding."
Porchay stood from his chair and proudly said, "P'Kinn, you will be in charge of the wedding venue." Kinn immediately agreed and replied, "No problem."
"P'Vegas...” Chay turned to Vegas. "You will pay for the catering." Vegas grunted and annoyingly said, "What!?" He got a glare from Kim after that, making him scoff.
"Macau will pay for the wedding souvenirs, and P'Pete will pay for guests' hotel reservations." A collective "Huh?" from Macau and Pete was heard, making the rest of the family laugh.
"Wait!" Macau muttered. "What about P'Porsche and P'Khun?"
"I already used their cards. Hia with my albums, remember?" Porchay tilted his head sideways as he flashed a sweet smile to Macau. "And P'Khun bought me the Polaroid camera and films."
Kinn easily agreed to his part, while Vegas, Pete, and Macau have no choice but to say yes in the end.
"That's it; the wedding is settled and will happen in three years."

On the bed, Porchay is hugging Kim, while the elder is leaning his back on the head board.
Yes, that's right. Porsche let his brother move into Kim's condo, no, it's more like Kim and Chay did not give him any choice. No more scheduled overnights or sleepovers. Porsche really has no other choice but to say yes because Porchay himself packed his own clothes and said he'll be moving in with his boyfriend before pulling his luggage out of the compound with Kim waiting in his car. He didn't let his Hia react or digest what's happening. Porsche, though, barged in Kim's condo the next day, and the three of them had a serious talk, which ended up with Porsche being defeated once again.
"Bambi?"
"Hmm?"
"There is this one thing I've been wondering about..."
Chay lifted his head from leaning on Kim's chest and faced his now-fiancé. "What is it?"
"Whose card did you use this time to buy the ticket with the WIK pass?"
"Hey! I bought it!" Porchay, being so defensive, changes his voice to a higher pitch.
"Who's card, Bambi?"
Porchay pouted at him before answering, "Ohm's." Sounding all defeated.
Kim almost chokes on nothing before chuckling. "Your best friend's card?"
"Well... we had a bet. Whoever gets a higher GPA for last semester will get to ask the loser to buy him anything."
"And you won?" Porchay nodded at Kim before going back to his position, leaning his head on Kim's chest. "That's why you were so busy studying a few months ago, huh? The WIK pass is on the line."
"P'Kim, don't tease me! The complimentary tickets don't include a WIK pass, and I need to buy a ticket to get it."
"Okay. Okay. No more teasing, Bambi." Kim fixes his position and properly lays down on the bed. He wrapped his arms around Porchay, caging his boyfriend in between his body and arms. "I can't wait to get married to you, Bambi." he whispered close to his fiancé's ear.
Porchay can only playfully hit Kim's chest as his face heats up. His cheeks gained more color, and his lips pursed. "I love you, P'Kim."
"I love you, Bambi." Kim answered. His hand found Porchay's hand, and his ring finger now houses two rings: the safety pin ring he made and the engagement ring that Kim bought.

A week later, the photos for the 1:1 photo-op were uploaded. Yes, including Porchay and Kim's photos, and that immediately rose to worldwide trends.
