8th February, 2023: Wednesday

Ohm @ 7:25 PM

"Nanon," I began, my heart pounding in my chest and my voice trembling slightly. "I-I know I've been awkward and slow, but please believe me when I say this... I like you. I've liked you for a long time, and I was just too scared to mess it up."

Nanon's eyes widened, and the bustling station seemed to fall away. It was just the two of us, standing in the middle of everything.

He took a shaky breath, his face flushed. "Ohm..."

I stayed on my knees, waiting for his response, the seconds feeling like hours. The murmurs and gasps of the crowd faded into the background.

Nanon finally smiled, a small, shy smile that made my heart skip a beat. He extended his hand towards me, and I took it, standing up slowly. "I have already said this but I'd like to say it again... I like you, Ohm," he said softly. "I've liked you for so long, and I was just waiting for you to say it."

Relief washed over me, and I couldn't help but grin. I pulled him into a tight hug, feeling his warmth against me, and for the first time, it felt like everything was right in the world. His body pressed against mine was like a dream come true, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel his heartbeat, fast and strong, mirroring my own. The scent of his hair, the softness of his embrace—it was all so overwhelming, so perfect. "Thank you," I whispered in his ear, my voice filled with emotion. "For being patient with me."

Tick-tock. Ba-dum. Tick-tock. Ba-dum.

We pulled back slightly, our foreheads touching. The noise of the station slowly came back into focus, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was Nanon and the fact that we felt the same way.

Jay and Jean were cheering, and I could hear people clapping around us. I looked into Nanon's eyes, and we both laughed, overwhelmed with happiness. "Let's go," I said, taking his hand.

"Huh?" He gaped at me as I pulled him.

I chuckled. "You are not going back just yet. I have so much to tell you."
