Phuwin wasn't supposed to be here.
This was, without a doubt, the stupidest thing he'd done in his entire life-agreeing to meet a stranger from a dating app just because the man seemed interested. Well, overly interested. Flirty in a cocky kind of way, persistent but not pushy. Charming, annoyingly so. And Phuwin, in a moment of weakness and boredom, had said yes.
Now he was sitting at a rooftop bar he didn't even like, alone, thirty minutes into what was supposed to be a casual date, and the man hadn't even shown up.
The man standing there looked like trouble. Tall, effortlessly handsome, with tousled hair, a slightly unbuttoned shirt, and the kind of grin that made people either run or fall too fast.
"I'm Pond," he said, sliding into the seat across from Phuwin without waiting for an invitation. "Sorry I'm late. Traffic. And indecisiveness. I changed shirts three times. Thought I'd impress you, but now I realize I should've just worn a helmet instead."
