A few months later...

Korn finally entered university.

The day he received his acceptance letter...

He called me before anyone else.

"P'Phawin!"

"I got in!"

I laughed as soon as I heard his voice.

"I knew you would."

"No..."

"You believed in me before I believed in myself."

The first morning of university...

I waited outside the main gate.

Students walked past carrying new bags and nervous smiles.

Then I saw him.

Korn.

He looked around until our eyes met.

A huge smile spread across his face.

"You actually came."

I shrugged playfully.

"I promised I'd welcome my favorite freshman."

He laughed.

"And here I was thinking you came to study."

"I did."

"But seeing you was more important."

I spent the morning showing him around campus.

"The library is over there."

"The engineering building is on the left."

"The cafeteria has the best food on the second floor."

Korn nodded carefully.

"I'll still get lost."

"You probably will."

"So..."

"I'll just call you."

I smiled.

"I expected that answer."

Soon...

Everyone on campus knew we were together.

Some classmates smiled when they saw us.

Others whispered.

A few even asked questions.

"How long have you been dating?"

"Almost two years."

I answered proudly.

Korn looked at me with surprise.

"You remembered exactly?"

I laughed.

"I remember every important date."

He smiled.

"I chose the right boyfriend."

Life became busy.

Our classes were different.

Sometimes we didn't see each other until evening.

But every night...

Without fail...

We met at the university gate.

Then we walked home together.

It became our new routine.

One evening...

As we sat on a bench outside the library...

Korn leaned his head against my shoulder.

"Tired?"

I asked.

"A little."

He admitted.

"But..."

"This is enough."

"What is?"

"Sitting beside you."

I smiled.

"You really don't ask for much."

"I already have everything I wanted."

I looked at him quietly.

Years ago...

I had kissed him just to make someone else jealous.

I never imagined...

That one careless decision...

Would one day lead me here.

To the person who had become my greatest source of happiness.

As the sun slowly disappeared behind the university buildings...

Korn intertwined his fingers with mine.

"P'Phawin?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you..."

"For choosing me."

I squeezed his hand gently.

"No..."

"Thank you..."

"For never giving up on me."

We smiled at each other.

Neither of us knew what the future would bring.

But one thing was certain.

No matter how many roads life offered...

For now...

We were still walking them...
