I don't think Porsche would hate Kim. (Through the entire season, the only character he seems to develop a lasting antipathy toward is Arthee.) I also don't get why people think they would necessarily bond. I think mutual respect and even liking is possible, but I don't think Porsche would necessarily understand Kim very well.
Fucking off from your family and doing your own thing in your late teens is not a universal tradition. Kim is weird, and Porsche's initial reaction is a dismissal loaded with negative assumptions. The only interaction they have in canon is the warehouse, where it's not clear if Porsche even knows who Kim is. (Porsche did have a few other things on his mind.) Chay had to find out from Khun that Kim was present.
Assuming that at some point Kim and Chay made up and got together, I feel like Porsche would have mixed feelings about him. That initial negative bias might be lessened both by Porsche's own deeper understanding of just how fucked up the Theerapanyakul family is and by an appreciation of Kim's willingness to defend Chay, but he might also continue to think Kim is weird.
And Kim might be starved for affection, but he's also (barely) an adult, and he already has two brothers. I can see him getting to like Porsche, but as part of a very long process of dealing with his overall isolation.
