At the public park
People come to run and exercise. Or come take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere in the evening.
Achi, a 29-year-old office worker, and Pun, a 31-year-old high school teacher, were sitting on chairs under a tree to rest. After running 3 laps around the park Today I ran just enough to get my body pumping blood.
"Running every day, I'm panting every day," Achi complained.
"Well, we're getting old now. I get tired easily like this." Pun smiled fondly.
Ashi turned to look and smiled. As we get closer to number 3, my body actually feels more tired than when I was a teenager.
"Uh!! P'Pun"
"Huh? What?" Pun raised an eyebrow.
Achie's face changed into a serious mode. causing Pun to adjust his facial expressions accordingly
"What we are talking about today...what is this status?"
"..." Pun was silent. and feel uncomfortable about questions from the other party
"You don't have to answer me right now."
"Next month it will be 2 years since I flirted with you."
"I'm just telling you. You're the first man I ever flirted with. I have been single for 27 years and am not interested in having a boyfriend. Until I met you My thoughts have changed. It makes me want to have love once in my life.”
"I know that when I say this It's like I'm putting pressure on you. But I want to have clarity in our relationship. And I will flirt with you next month for the last month. At the end of the month I'll come back and ask you again."
"...And if you say You don't have to flirt with me anymore."
"What do you mean? Aichi began to smile. What the senior said seemed to indicate his status. that you expected
"I really can only think of Ashi as a younger sister."
"..." A feeling rushed to the edge of my heart.
"I'm sorry...I'm selfish. For refusing to speak directly to Achi from the beginning."
"I've tried to open up. But it didn't feel any more than brotherly."
“Do you already have someone you like?” he asked honestly.
"...Um." The senior nodded and answered truthfully.
"How long has it been since you liked him?" His voice began to tremble.
"1 year"
"1 year ?"
The senior nodded guiltily.
"Are you dating yet?"
"not yet"
"So he likes you?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm going to ask him to date me on my birthday."
"3 more days?"
"Um.."
"I understand."
"I hope he doesn't reject you. Just like you rejected me."
“So, I'm back now and thank you very much for being in my life. Even though they're just siblings," Ashi finished speaking and got up from the wooden chair. Walk back to the parking lot.
Pun could only look at his junior's back feeling guilty. But he didn't want to give her any more hope. I regret it from now on. To let you meet the person you love And he loves you, that's better.
At the Achi room
The young woman's body sobbed and cried throughout the bedroom. From the moment you step into the room
Looking back to 2 years ago
At the age of 27, Achi started working in the accounting department of an automotive parts manufacturing company. After working at home for a long time
She has been working here for exactly 1 month. Her morning life goes to work. Cool, come back to bed. Keep stroking like this. Until it makes life seem boring and lonely.
Today after work I planned to buy food at the market. Then try stopping by to eat at a park near your accommodation for a change of scenery.
At the public park
In the evening, people began to trickle into the park. Come get some rest. Do some exercise. It's considered calm, but it looks lively because of people passing by.
Ashi chose to sit in a chair under a tree. About 5 meters away from the road for walking or running, along with picking up fried meatballs bought from the market to eat.
She looked at the people in the park. Her eyes caught sight of a man running and stopping in front of a chair about 3 meters from her, causing her to freeze for a moment.
The young man was wearing a white tank top. black shorts Along with black sneakers I'm sitting on my buttocks, resting from running. Because he was clearly sweating, the young man brought a white cloth that he had brought with him to wipe up his own sweat. and picked up a small bottle of water in his trouser pocket and drank it
(Handsome...) A voice in Ashi's head sounded.
The young man seemed to realize that someone was staring at him, so he turned to look. Ashi quickly turned away.
Punklee smiled fondly at the other party's imperfection.
After having had enough of resting, Pun got up and went back to running. By running through the area where Achi was sitting. Ashi looked after him until the other party disappeared from sight.
The next day
Ashima in a short-sleeved T-shirt. Shorts and sneakers Today she will exercise. and squinted at those who went with him
She stood and stretched in the same chair. to wait for the other party to come first She then started running, and soon the young man from yesterday ran and came to rest in the exact same chair!
Ashi secretly smiled happily. and pretended to continue stretching Wait for the other party to start running again.
After a while, Pun got up and ran again. Ashi then started running after him. and maintain a distance of approximately 3 meters
As I ran, I smiled happily, but suddenly the other person ran slower and slower. Ashi had to slow down as well. Even though she followed, she was still in time. And suddenly the young man running ahead He turned his head back towards Achi.
"..." Ashi was slightly startled when the other party suddenly turned around. Plus he ran back to her again.
(Did you catch him?) Ashi started to get annoyed.
A young man ran and stopped in front of Ashi. Causing Ashi to stop as well.
"..." Ashi looked at the other side.
“Walk slowly like this. I can't sweat," Pun teased.
"K..?" Ashi was confused.
"Aren't you here to exercise? It must run. To burn it well," Pun suggested again.
"Yes..." Achi nodded, saying he understood.
"Yes!"
"Huh?" Ashi raised an eyebrow at the other party's sudden invitation.
"Let's go running," Pun smiled.
"Yes...Yes!" Ashi smiled in response. (embarrassed)
The two of them started running slowly again.
During the run, each side got to know each other. and learned that Pun has been Achi's elder brother for 2 years and that Pun is still single Ashi smiled happily.
After that day The pair exchanged channels to communicate with each other. And Pun would invite Achi to run with him every evening if he wasn't busy with work.
Later, he began to pick up Achi instead. After finishing exercising They went to the market to find food. Then come and send Ashi to the dormitory.
Ashi began to like her more and more and began to show that she had feelings for the other person. And Pun had no attitude of denying anything.
Until 1 year has passed, everything is going well. But when it came to the latter year Pun started not having much free time and invited Achi to exercise as usual. But we still chat all the time. and say goodnight every night
The couple meets once a week to eat. and jogging
Achi asks Pun. Pun will answer that during this time he is busy with the new structure at school. So I don't have much free time. And Ashi understood. So she didn't bother the other party. If you have free time, you can come and meet. Because of this person, she intends to love This is my first love and I hope it will be my last love in this life. So I don't want to make the other person uncomfortable when I'm with her.
Return to the present
"Huh......It's over, Achi...it's over," Achi reminded himself.
After that day Pun never saw Ashima jogging again. And he didn't dare to say hello. Both of them are still friends on social media. We just haven't been in touch with each other anymore.
6 months later
Post
Pun Pongsathon

[Image of the bride and groom kissing each other on the cheek at a wedding ceremony]
"The right person, everything went so fast." Ashi's tears began to flow again. When they see the post of the person they once loved married another woman
2 months later
At the company where Achi works
Liu, the personnel department member, walked into the office with a young man in a student uniform.
Everyone in the office turned to look at the new person who had walked in.
Ashi was stunned for a moment. When I met that young man
“Brothers, this is an intern in the human resources department. Name: Nong Palm I will be interning here for 4 months."
"Hello, I would like to introduce myself to you." Palm raised his hand to greet his brothers and sisters in the office.
"You can give me your condolences, Nong Palm. I'll take good care of you," a senior in the marketing department teased.
"...Yes." Palm scratched the back of his neck shyly.
Achi looked at the apprentice. It reminded him of his older brother who she used to flirt with. And now they are already married. He used to meet Palm often because when Pun invited her to eat at a restaurant. I always invite Palm, who studies at a nearby university, to come out and eat yarn. Made her know Palm by default.
Palm suddenly walked towards Ashi. Ashi hurriedly returned to normal behavior. and pretended to continue working
"I thought I'd never see you again."
