"How are you feeling now?" Ohm asked taking a seat in front of Kao who had just returned after two days of resting her swollen feet.

Kao was missing all the time she could have spent with Ohm. On top of that Nanon scolded her for trying to wear heels in university when she knows she cannot handle it.

But looking at Ohm walking up to her as soon as she entered the class was something that made her happy. Though her eyes lingered to the figure approaching behind and she stiffened.

"Hi, Kao right? My name is Aom." Aom extended her hand to Kao.

Kao hesitantly smiled at her and took her hand. "Hi"

This was something Kao was unable to understand. How could Ohm be friends with his ex?

"I hope your feet is better now." Aom asked her looking at her feet.

"Ummm yeah... Better than before. Plus, I couldn't sit back and home idly for long.

"I see. It's good that you are back. Someone here has been miserable without you." Aom now teased Ohm.

Kao blushed and chuckled.

"I told you it's not like that. We are just friends." Ohm said and turned to look around. "So how did you come today?" Ohm asked Kao.

He was actually not waiting for Kao, but he was waiting to meet Nanon. The last conversation ended on a hate note. And NO ONE have ever told Ohm that they hated him. Nanon was hardly in class when Kao wasn't around. And so Kao coming back to class means...

"Oh I came with my brother. He drove me here before work." Kao explained being happy about Ohm worrying for her. At the same time, she was uncomfortable when Aom's hand was around Ohm's neck. She kept eyeing her weirdly when Aom actually saw her peeping.

Aom took her hand back but rolled her eyes on the way Kao was judging their friendship. Aom and Ohm had been friends for so long that they tried dating and realised it can never be more than friendship. So they mutually broke up. And if someone can't understand this, it's better to stay away from such narrow minded people. At least that's what Aom thinks. But she decided not to pollute Ohm's mind with her thoughts. She doesn't want to affect his relationship with Kao.

But Aom quickly took a mental note of not befriending Kao and excused herself from Ohm's side giving them both a smile.

Ohm on the other hand was not sure why he was disappointed. He was somewhere hoping to hear Nanon's name. He has been questioning himself as to why he keeps thinking about him.

"So Ohm?" Kao interrupted Ohm's thoughts as soon as Aom left. "Can you lend me your notes?" she asked with a smile.

"Of course. Why not." Ohm smiled at her and got up from the seat.

"Where are you going?" Kao asked.

"Nothing, I was just going to..." Ohm stopped talking when he saw Nanon entering the classroom with Chimon.

They both were chatting like they were friends for god know how long. Though Ohm clearly remembers Chimon asking Kao about his BFF 2 days ago.

And then for the first time he saw Nanon smiling a bit.

Ohm felt something weird in the pit of his stomach. He went still and kept looking at them.

"Ohm... OHM?" Kao shook Ohm's arm.

"Uh... Yeah, I'll be back." Ohm said and walked out of the class turning to look at Nanon and Chimon taking a seat in the back together.

Ohm returned after a while to the class and without looking at anyone went to sit on his usual place.
