Only Soft For You

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION

ARAN RATTANAKOSIN

Age: 21

Faculty: Business Administration

Year: Third-Year Senior

Known throughout the university as the “Campus Prince,” Aran Rattanakosin is the type of person everyone notices immediately.

Tall, handsome, rich, athletic, and cold enough to make people nervous just by looking at them.

As captain of the university basketball team and heir to the Rattanakosin hotel empire, Aran has spent years being admired from a distance. Girls confess to him weekly. Boys stare at him just as much. Rumors about him spread constantly across campus.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, Aran genuinely does not care.

At least until a certain architecture freshman walks into his life.

Despite his arrogant reputation, Aran is completely different around people he loves. He’s deeply family-oriented, protective, emotionally loyal, and secretly loves cooking whenever he feels stressed.

He has never liked a man before.

Which becomes a serious problem.

Especially after meeting Tharin Aiyarak.

THARIN AIYARAK

Nickname: Rin / Nong Rin

Age: 19

Faculty: Architecture

Year: First-Year Freshman

Soft-spoken, polite, and painfully pretty, Tharin Aiyarak is the type of person people naturally want to protect.

With fluffy dark hair, warm brown eyes, and a gentle personality, he accidentally attracts attention everywhere he goes despite hating being the center of it.

Unlike Aran, Tharin has always known he liked men.

His family found out years ago and immediately accepted him without question.

Now their only concern is making sure nobody breaks his heart.

Raised by five older brothers after their parents passed away, Tharin grew up completely surrounded by love, affection, and overprotection.

He loves food more than anything, which is exactly why every single one of his brothers learned how to cook for him.

Unfortunately, the brothers are so protective that Tharin doesn’t even realize they secretly hired bodyguards to follow him around campus.

THE AIYARAK BROTHERS

THAN AIYARAK — 32

The oldest brother.

Calm. Elegant. Terrifying.

Acts more like Tharin’s father than sibling. Handles the family business and quietly controls most situations before anyone notices.

Drives Tharin to university personally every morning.

Nobody argues with Than twice.

KHEM AIYARAK — 30

A respected surgeon with an unnervingly gentle smile.

Kind, intelligent, and emotionally observant.

The type of person who threatens others politely.

ARTHIT AIYARAK — 28

Former underground racer.

Loud, dramatic, protective, and emotionally chaotic.

Claims he’s the “fun brother,” but once almost fought someone for insulting Tharin’s haircut.

PRAEW AIYARAK — 26

Fashion photographer.

Dramatic. Affectionate. Emotional.

Treats Tharin like a living doll and buys him expensive clothes constantly.

WIN AIYARAK — 24

Close friend of Aran Rattanakosin.

Cool-headed and observant.

Immediately notices Aran becoming interested in Tharin long before Aran understands his own feelings.

CHAI AIYARAK

Age: 20

Tharin’s closest cousin and best friend.

Playful, loud, spoiled, and extremely protective over Tharin.

Constantly buys him food, gifts, drinks, snacks, and random things online.

Looks unserious.

Actually terrifying.

THE RATTANAKOSIN FAMILY

One of Bangkok’s most influential old-money families.

Despite their wealth and status, the Rattanakosin family is loud, affectionate, chaotic, and deeply involved in each other’s lives.

Family dinners are mandatory.

Cousins appear constantly.

Privacy barely exists.

Aran’s mother secretly loves BL dramas and immediately notices when her son falls in love.

LALISA RATTANAKOSIN

Aran’s mother.

Elegant, intelligent, and dangerously observant.

Secretly treats Aran’s love life like entertainment.

PHUWAT RATTANAKOSIN

Aran’s father.

Strict, respected, and quietly intimidating.

Has connections in places most people avoid discussing openly.

IMPORTANT FAMILY DYNAMIC

Both the Aiyarak and Rattanakosin families possess quiet influence within Bangkok’s elite underground circles.

Not openly criminal.

Just powerful enough that people know better than to hurt someone they love.

Especially Tharin.

Because the Aiyarak family never forgives people who hurt him.

Ever.
