The Kiss I Never Should Have Asked For - Chapter 1 – Nothing Had Changed... Yet

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ZcFyN3IB

I thought life would continue the way it always had.

Every morning...

Narin would wait for me outside my classroom.

We would walk to the canteen together.

Study together.

Go home together.

To everyone around us...

We were simply best friends.

Only we knew the truth.

We were in love.

After that night at Narin's uncle Chaiwat's house...

Nothing seemed different.

At least...

That's what I believed.

I didn't know someone had watched us beneath the stars.

I didn't know someone had gone home carrying a broken heart.

To me...

It was just another beautiful memory with Narin.

A few days later, school returned to its usual routine.

The corridors were noisy.

Teachers hurried from one classroom to another.

Students laughed as if nothing in the world could ever hurt them.

I found Narin waiting outside my classroom.

"You took forever."

I smiled.

"My teacher kept us late."

He reached out and gently held my wrist.

"Come on."

"I'm starving."

I laughed.

"You always are."

As we walked across the school courtyard, I noticed someone standing on the floor below.

Korn.

He looked up.

For a brief moment...

Our eyes met.

His expression was unreadable.

Then...

He looked away and continued walking.

I frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Narin asked.

"Nothing."

"I just thought I saw someone I knew."

Over the next few days...

I noticed the same thing again.

Whenever Korn saw Narin and me together...

His smile disappeared.

If I stood too close to Narin...

He quietly turned away.

If Narin casually put an arm around my shoulder...

Korn's face became strangely cold.

I couldn't understand it.

Had I done something wrong?

One afternoon, while Narin was helping a teacher carry books, I found myself alone in the corridor.

As I looked out the window, someone stopped beside me.

It was Korn.

He didn't say anything.

Neither did I.

After a long silence, he spoke.

"You and P'Narin are really close."

I smiled.

"We've always been close."

He nodded slowly.

"I know."

There was something in his voice I couldn't understand.

Before I could ask what he meant...

The school bell rang.

Korn gave me a polite smile.

"I should go."

Then he walked away.

I watched him disappear into the crowd.

For some reason...

His words stayed with me.

I still didn't know it then...

But the quiet boy who couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes...

Was about to change my life forever.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MZ8tg71Oo
