I've been listening to this song for a long time. Listening to it, I thought of my own story. Even more friends told me that you look at the Koi Star, just like you and (name of another friend). At first, I was confused. What is the Koi Star? But when I saw it, wow, this is my life. So I composed this fic. Based on the author's own true story. It's the first thing in my life.

The real story may not be as sweet and fulfilling as in fiction. Currently, the writer and that friend are close friends who are good to each other. Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone who has dropped by to read.

Ask (Dao Koi)

“Sigh! Not yet.” The tall man sighed heavily as he looked up at the clock that now pointed at exactly 11:45. If the seniors at work hadn't urged her to stay up this late, she wouldn't have had to run four hundred times to get on the subway and nearly trip over her own feet, face down like this. The tall figure bent down and grabbed his knees. If possible, she wanted to lie down and gasp for air, causing her ribs to flare.

Since graduating from high school Now it's been 6 years and Koi is in work clothes. The hair that was pulled back was slightly disheveled. A clean white shirt was stuffed into a pair of navy blue work pants that were now frayed as she shoveled more than she did fleeing fire from a Thonglor liquor store to the BTS station.

Her sweaty face looked up at the sky out of habit. She closed her eyes and let the cool breeze blow her stray hair down her face. She always did this while waiting for the subway to go home after work. Actually, her work isn't that hard. But she's trying to keep herself busy. By the time I leave the office, it's always late.

Actually, she did this so that she didn't have to think about certain things (?).

The sky today is completely dark. But there was still a soft light from one thing that no matter how far she ran, she couldn't escape, no matter where she was. Every time I lift my head up to the sky That thing is always in the same place. Dao...

Since that event She and Dao didn't talk to each other again until the end of Mathayom 6. She received news from L that Dao's mother had sent Dao to study abroad. That was the star's last known move.

While she was thinking about the old days I heard a sound like the sound of falling on the ground.

“!!!” Koi immediately turned around towards the source of the sound.

A petite young woman collapsed on the ground. She must have been in such a hurry that she tripped on the stairs. It was a very big fall. The sound I heard a moment ago must have come from the contents of the Hello Kitty bag, which was now scattered all over the floor. The tall figure didn't wait. Hurry, bend down and squat down. Keep your head down and help pick up things that have been dropped without looking at the other person.

“Is something wrong!? “

But I had to stop. When she raised her head Koi's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.

“Uh...” It was the other party who greeted him first.

This voice, the voice that she was familiar with This kind of tone that she never forgets

“Da...”

Dao, that's right. The other party looked just as shocked as her. Like a star staring at her face, still as if in a trance.

“Dao... Hey, you're bleeding! “Before I could say anything. Sharp eyes glanced over and saw the wound on the other person's hand. I suspect that when I fell just now, I must have put my hand down to steady myself on the ground. Oh, was this a brace or a scrape? It was so scraped.

Koi picked up the hand and looked at it gently before taking out a handkerchief with the most cherished Moomin design to wipe up the blood. The star that had been still for a long time seemed to have just regained consciousness.

Oh, it really stings. Even though the wound hurts, some feelings are stirring inside so much that you can hardly feel any pain at all. Koi gently blew on her wound.

“Well...”

Beep, beep, the sound of the train door signal sounded. I don't even know when electric trains have existed. I was suspicious because I was stunned by the situation in front of me.

Hurry!

Koi hurriedly scooped up things that had fallen to the ground. The other hand grabbed Dao's hand and climbed onto the electric train before the door closed. A tall figure walks and sits.

It's this late and every bogey is empty. I suspect this will be the last trip. The small figure sat down next to the tall figure.

“Thank you,” the little man said softly. To which the person next to him nodded.

The two sat in silence for a moment before starting to ask each other how they were doing as a formality. Well, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Suddenly meeting you unexpectedly like this, your heart won't fail, it's a blessing.

“Umm, Dao, do you go to Morchit?” Koi asked. She remembered that Baan Dao had to go to Mochit.

“Oh, yes, what about you? “

"...Same here," Koi replied simply.

The electric train keeps moving. Passing station after station Only the creaking sound of the electric train tracks now passing by the monument was heard.

“Koi... I'm sorry.” A small figure suddenly spoke up to break the silence.

“Hm, what is the matter?” His dark eyebrows raised slightly.

“What happened in high school? “

Koi didn't answer anything. It's not because she's angry at anything next to her. But she doesn't know what else to say. Moreover, suddenly meeting each other by accident like this still makes her shocked.

"...I'm sorry." The little one saw that the other person wasn't answering, so he repeated it in a teasing voice. You know you're wrong and want to apologize

“Um, it's okay. It happened a long time ago.”

Koi leaned back on the chair and smiled at the person next to him who only nodded slowly. Now the blood on Dao's hand has stopped flowing. Leaving only a crust that soaks through a thin handkerchief.

“But I'm still confused... “Koi suddenly blurted out.

“What are you worried about? “

“At that time, after the matter at the administrative room I think you don't think of me as more than a friend. And when you handed me the pinky star At that time, I was very hurt and confused because of regret. So I think you don't want to lose a friend like me. No matter what, I can only be your friend, which... I can't stand it...

But when I sit and think about the past, I think it's not like that."

Koi turned to meet Dao's eyes.

“I'm really asking, Dao. How exactly did you feel about me in the past? “

“You answer honestly. After all, there's just the two of us here. Can you tell me..? “

“I... I... feel good, feel good when we're together. Be yourself in a way that you are not with anyone else. Speak the way you want to speak. You can play the way you want to play.”

“So...is it more than friends?”

"Are you drunk?" Koi is normally a shy person.

"I'm not drunk, just curious... The tall figure stopped and swallowed before continuing in a low voice, "I've been living with this question for six years now, Dao. I just want to clear things up." His big eyes stared deeply into the other's small eyes pleadingly.

“Um... at that time I... liked you, Koi, like... more than friends. But at that time... I was afraid, afraid of my mother... afraid of other people, how they would look at me, so I thought it would be better to keep it like that."

“I'm sorry, I was selfish for doing that. Even though I know how you feel about me Even though I know how sad you will be, I still do it. To this day I still feel guilty... excuse me... "

“Hey, no need to apologize. I'm not angry at all. To be honest, I've never been angry at you. Maybe... the things you chose to do... It might have been best for both of us then, right? “

Koi wrapped her arms around her closest female friend's shoulder. His hand patted lightly as if he was teasing a child.

Probably because the two of them didn't know what to say. Silence then enveloped the entire area. Before a small voice broke the silence

“Koi...” She reached out and held the tall figure's hand. The warm touch made Koi turn and look.

"If you still feel... If it's not too late... Can we... go back to the way we were before? “

The soft-eyed girl's soft words made Koi almost stop breathing.

Like a star with his head still She said it already. true feelings You don't want to fool yourself anymore. Enough, I don't want to lose this person again. The more time passes The more I know myself I love you very much, Koi...

" ......." Quiet, Koi didn't answer.

Silence like this shows that it probably isn't possible... It's probably too late... The little body began to shed tears.

but

"I'm tired, Dao."

Ha? The star is bowing his head. Trying to hold back the tears from flowing out, I looked up at the source of the sound, my eyes wide.

Suddenly, past events flashed into his head again.

' Tua eats ants! ' is a picture from high school where she and Koi played and wrote each other's backs.

'Whoa, who's going to guess correctly? This is cheating. Don't play with me anymore! ’

'Hahaha, you said you really wanted it, didn't you? Oh, I'm not upset.'

'Heh, Koi is cheating.' She was very annoyed. I refused to turn to look at Koi.

Hurry! Suddenly another person pulled her hand away.

'Here, take your pinky finger and do this...' Koi placed her pinky finger around her own pinky finger.

'Alright, that means we're good now :)'

'Hahaha, that's good, let's tie our hands together'

Since then, this has become the go-to move they regularly use when they want to reconcile.

That sentence resounded in Dao's head again.

Dao couldn't speak, as if a lump was stuck in her throat. She smiled through tears.

'Ma, that means you've forgiven me, right, Koi?' The small figure immediately extended his pinky finger to intertwine with the finger of the person in front of him. Koi smiled softly at her. Warm and familiar eyes The eyes that you miss It's here now. The two people's fingers tightened together.

' I miss you... I miss you so much '

The small figure hugged the tall figure tightly. His head rested on his warm chest.

The two looked at each other blankly... The two faces slowly moved towards each other as if attracted by a force. The tall figure gently kissed the small man's forehead for a long time. before slowly sliding down to stop at the lips Koi lightly nipped Dao's upper lip as a sign of permission and pressed a kiss down. For Koi... She asked that this kiss replace all the feelings she had for her little body.

A feeling that has never changed for the past 6 years. No one has ever been able to replace her. Dao...

The small figure accepted the kiss without hesitation. Respond to all of Koi's feelings for you. Both hands wrapped tightly around his tall neck. The two exchanged sweet kisses with each other before becoming more intense...

The tall man slowly pulled away from the kiss.

Dao still sleeps with her eyes closed. slightly gasping for breath

“Koi loves Dao... And Dao, do you love Koi or not...? “ Koi's voice was hoarse and filled with concern.

“Up to this point... Do you still want to ask, Mr. Wiriya?”

The tall figure smiled with the corner of his mouth before moving his face in until their foreheads were close together.

“Well... I want to hear this.”

Duddao heard this and avoided the eyes of the person in front of him, his face turning red before reaching forward to whisper in the other person's ear.

"Dao... I love Koi... "

heard this Koi's smile was so wide that he could almost see all 32 of his teeth. Dao laughed when he saw that Koi's ears were red. The small figure hugged the tall figure who seemed to be so embarrassed that he was as hard as a rock again.

“Ummm, but... now... I'm more curious... How is the cat and bear? :) “ The tall one was talking about the Kitty doll wearing the Lee Rak Kuma bear outfit that she had bought as a gift for the 17th birthday of a bright-eyed girl in Grade 5. Before the two of them stopped talking.

“Haha, Kuma-chan? It's all gone! “ Dao stuck out his tongue in annoyance.

"Oh, Dao, you're so mean, I feel sorry for you, Cat Bear." Koi pretended to complain and turned her back on Dao. But she had to sit rigidly as Dao hugged her tightly from behind. The small figure buried his face in hers and kissed her shoulder. and the answer muffled in his throat was like a whisper.

“I miss the person who gave... So I hug you every night... Hug until it's all gone... “

Tails suppressed a smile. She was so embarrassed that she almost curled up into a figure eight. No matter how much time has passed Like a star is like the same star. Both cute and cuddly as always. They both laughed at each other. The question that has been lingering in my mind all this time has been answered today. There is nothing to worry about anymore. As for Koi, she is happy.

That everything that happened wasn't her only thought. Having said that... It wasn't exactly a disappointing first love :)

Next station: Mo Chit, Mo Chit.

"Alright, it's time." Koi stood up. She was a little relieved. Because if Dao still hugs you tightly like that She was probably so embarrassed that she almost ran away from the train. The tall figure grabbed a small hand and held it in his. The other hand held something to give to Dao. The two of them walked up to the card control line. Dao walked ahead and left first. But Koi stood still.

“Ao Koi, what's wrong?” The narrow-eyed girl looked confused.

Or...

"Welcome home, Dao. I mean... I just wanted to send you off." Koi smiled shyly.

That's right. No matter what, Koi is always the one who takes care of you. Why is this so cute? :)

A small figure walked up to the waist-high barrier. She tiptoed and leaned forward towards the tall person, then...

kiss!!

The tall man's eyes widened. The face was red all the way to the ears. He raised his hand and gently rubbed his cheek.

“Thank you, darling...” Dudao smiled until his eyes narrowed. Her voice of the word "darling" was soft but loud enough for tall people to hear.

' In the past, we may have met on the wrong day and time, but now, with whatever gives us the chance to meet again, maybe now is the right time. Therefore, this time, I'm asking for a chance for us. Let's start again, Koi :)'

/// THE END ///
