The Kiss I Never Should Have Asked For - Chapter 58 – The Beginning of Forever

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLgO2DKu0

University life was nothing like high school.

Assignments piled up.

Group projects kept us busy.

Sometimes...

Korn and I didn't even have lunch together.

Yet somehow...

Our relationship only became stronger.

Love wasn't measured by how many hours we spent together.

It was measured by the effort we made...

To keep choosing each other.

One evening...

Korn waited outside my classroom.

When he saw me...

He smiled.

"I have somewhere I want to take you."

"Another surprise?"

He nodded.

"You'll like this one."

We took a bus across the city.

After nearly an hour...

We arrived at a quiet riverside park.

The sunset painted the water in shades of orange and gold.

The breeze was gentle.

Families were walking together.

Children laughed as they chased each other across the grass.

It felt peaceful.

We found an empty bench.

For a while...

We watched the river in silence.

Then Korn spoke.

"P'Phawin."

"Hm?"

"Remember our notebook?"

I smiled.

"How could I forget?"

He reached into his backpack.

It was still there.

The edges were worn now.

Many pages were filled with our dreams.

He opened to the final blank page.

"I think..."

"It's time."

He handed me the pen.

The same fountain pen he had given me on my graduation day.

I looked at him.

"What should I write?"

He smiled.

"Write what your heart wants."

I thought for a long moment.

Then I wrote:

No matter what tomorrow brings, I'll never regret loving you.

I passed the pen back to Korn.

He read my words quietly.

Then he wrote beneath them:

And no matter how difficult tomorrow becomes, I'll keep finding my way back to you.

I smiled.

"That's a promise?"

He nodded.

"It's more than a promise."

"It's the life I want."

The sun slowly disappeared below the horizon.

The first stars appeared in the evening sky.

Korn closed the notebook carefully.

"One day..."

He said softly.

"When we're older..."

"I want to bring our children here."

I laughed.

"You're already thinking that far ahead?"

He blushed.

"I told you before."

"I don't just dream about tomorrow."

"I dream about forever."

I leaned my head against his shoulder.

For a long time...

Neither of us spoke.

There was no need.

The silence between us wasn't empty.

It was filled with trust.

With comfort.

With love.

As the river continued flowing peacefully before us...

I realized something.

Some people enter your life like a storm.

Others...

Like a calm sunrise.

Narin had taught me what it meant to fall in love.

But Korn...

Was teaching me what it meant to build a life with someone.

And as I looked at the person beside me...

I silently wished...

That this moment would last forever.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscthERMAXg
