Propaganda: "Kongthap has never been in love before. He doesn't know feelings™, but he does know that you should respect everyone else's feelings. He is so respectful and mindful so the guy who only pretended to have a crush on Kongtahp develops an actual crush on Kongthap. He constantly makes sure that it's okay for Atom to have a crush on him, although he doesn't feel the same yET but will make damn sure to figure that out, cos that's what Atom deserves. When he finally figures out he likes Atom and wants to explore what they have, he always ends up researching about the issues they face, and although he's not a man with words, he always wants to communicate about it all. When he's not busy being respectful of other people's feelings, he's busy dreaming about becoming a vet and saving animals, after saving a cat from the street. He's just simply a walking green flag"
