The Kiss I Never Should Have Asked For - Chapter 2 – Jealous Eyes

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqFtYjq8NW

I didn't understand Korn.

Every time we met at Narin's uncle Chaiwat's house, he was kind.

At school...

He became someone else.

He wasn't rude.

He wasn't unfriendly.

But there was always something hidden behind his eyes.

Something I couldn't explain.

Korn was one year below us.

Our classrooms were on different floors.

Even so, we crossed paths almost every day.

Sometimes in the corridor.

Sometimes near the canteen.

Sometimes after school.

Whenever we met, he would smile politely.

"Hello, P'Phawin."

"Hello, Korn."

That was all.

One afternoon, Narin and I were sitting beneath the large tree near the sports field.

It had become our favorite place.

Narin rested his head on my shoulder.

"I'm tired."

"You barely did anything today."

"I listened to teachers all day."

"That's exhausting."

I laughed.

"It must be."

As we talked, I noticed someone walking past the field.

It was Korn.

For just a second...

He looked at us.

His expression immediately changed.

He tightened his grip on the books in his hands.

Then he continued walking without saying a word.

I frowned.

"There he goes again..."

Narin looked up.

"Who?"

"Korn."

"What about him?"

"I don't know."

"It feels like..."

"...he doesn't like seeing us together."

Narin glanced toward the path before looking back at me.

"You're imagining things."

"Maybe."

I wasn't convinced.

Over the next few days...

I paid more attention.

Every time Narin casually touched my shoulder...

Korn looked away.

Every time we laughed together...

He quietly left.

Every time someone teased us for always being together...

Korn became unusually silent.

It happened too many times to be a coincidence.

One evening, while walking home with Narin, I asked,

"Do you think Korn is angry with me?"

Narin looked confused.

"Why would he be?"

"I don't know."

"He acts differently whenever we're together."

Narin laughed.

"You're overthinking."

"Korn's always been quiet."

"I guess..."

But deep inside...

I wasn't convinced.

There was definitely something bothering him.

I just didn't know what it was.

And without realizing it...

A childish idea slowly formed in my mind.

"If he's really jealous..."

"What would happen if I made him even more jealous?"

At that moment...

I had no idea that one impulsive decision...

Would change all three of our lives forever.7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVv1gR908v
