Ignore my grammatical mistakes

Ohm held Nanon's hands which were caressing his cheeks, a bittersweet smile tugging at his lips. "Life could've been so different if someone had told me this twenty years ago," he said, his voice trembling as tears filled his eyes. He quickly wiped them away, then stood up, letting go of Nanon's hand.

"It's late. I should go," Ohm said, turning to leave.

As he walked away, Nanon called out, "What if Tu finds out the truth someday?"

Ohm chuckled "She'll leave me. And I don't care about that," he mumbled to himself.

"Why would she? Did I leave you?" Nanon asked softly, making Ohm pause and look back at him.

"You're different. You're my Non. I know you'll never leave me. Whatever hardships we face, I am sure that we will always come back to each other," Ohm thought to himself with a smile.

"Telling the truth might be hard, but living with a lie could ruin everything," Nanon continued. "Tell her the truth, Ohm."

Ohm sighed, nodding slightly. "I should tell you how I feel," he murmured to himself as he walked away, leaving Nanon watching his retreating figure.

"I hope everything turns out okay," Nanon thought, his heart heavy with concern.

The next morning, Nanon arrived at his hospital, his head pounding from the night before. He groaned softly, rubbing his temples.

"My head is hurting a lot. Bring my glasses," Nanon instructed Jackie, who quickly handed them over.

"Sir! You should reduce your night programs. Give some gap in between, sir," Jackie said with a mix of concerned and teasing tone.

Nanon looked at him, puzzled. "What did I ask you, and what are you talking about? Go now," he dismissed, slipping on his glasses as he sat in his chair.

"Mr. Nanon!" Prim's voice interrupted his thoughts. She approached him, looking slightly irritated.

"Hi! Is everything okay?" Nanon asked, trying to gauge her mood.

"If you tell me the bill amount, I'll pay and leave," Prim said curtly, catching Nanon off guard.

"Why would I charge you? Your grandfather is like my grandfather," he replied, confused by her tone.

"Don't try to be smart. Let's be professional. Tell me how much I have to pay," Prim insisted, her expression firm.

"You're mad that I left without telling you. Sorry, Prim," Nanon said, moving to stand before her.

"You're lying. Someone came for you last night," Prim said, her voice tinged with frustration. "You have someone important in your life, and you didn't tell me that."

"What are you talking about?" Nanon asked, trying to deflect.

"That's why you left me like that. You close the door by eight every night. Isn't that true?" Prim continued, her tone accusatory. Nanon turned to glare at Jackie.

"How could you believe the nonsense he sprouts?" Nanon asked, exasperated. "Don't you know me better than that?"

"Will you answer me truthfully if I ask something?" Prim asked, her tone softening.

"Of course," Nanon said, trying to sound reassuring.

"With whom did you go out yesterday?" Prim's question hung in the air, making Nanon sigh.
