The Kiss I Never Should Have Asked For - Chapter 30 – The Truth I Couldn't Hide

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP21V28eXq

I regretted it the entire night.

Not because kissing Korn felt wrong...

But because I was still Narin's boyfriend.

Every time I closed my eyes...

I remembered the surprise on Korn's face.

The warmth of his lips.

The silence that followed.

I had never imagined something like that would happen.

Yet...

It had.

The next morning, I made a decision.

I couldn't keep it a secret.

If I truly loved Narin...

He deserved to know.

Even if it meant losing him.

Before the first class began, I found Narin standing outside the sports hall.

He smiled as soon as he saw me.

"Morning."

"You look serious."

"I need to talk to you."

His smile slowly disappeared.

"What happened?"

"Can we go somewhere quiet?"

He nodded.

We walked to the back of the school, where only a few students passed during the morning.

For several seconds...

Neither of us spoke.

Narin waited patiently.

Finally, I took a deep breath.

"I did something yesterday."

He looked at me.

"What?"

"I..."

My voice shook.

"I kissed Korn."

Silence.

The wind rustled through the trees.

Somewhere in the distance...

The school bell rang.

Narin simply stared at me.

He didn't look angry.

He didn't shout.

He didn't even ask why.

Instead...

He lowered his head.

"Oh."

That was all he said.

Just...

"Oh."

I frowned.

"Aren't you going to ask me anything?"

He slowly looked back at me.

"Should I?"

"I don't know."

"I just..."

"I wanted to tell you the truth."

He nodded.

"I'm glad you told me."

His voice was calm.

Too calm.

"I didn't plan it."

"It just happened."

"I know."

"I feel terrible."

"I know."

Every answer was short.

Quiet.

Almost emotionless.

It felt as if...

His heart wasn't even part of the conversation.

"Narin..."

"If you were in my place..."

"...wouldn't you be angry?"

For the first time...

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"I probably would have."

"But..."

He looked away.

"I don't think I'm in a position to be angry."

"What do you mean?"

He hesitated.

Then shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Forget I said that."

Before I could ask another question...

The second bell rang.

"We should go."

Narin turned and started walking back toward the classroom.

I stood there alone.

Confused.

If someone I loved had kissed another person...

I would have been heartbroken.

So why...

Had Narin accepted it so easily?

That afternoon, I found Korn beneath our tree.

The moment he saw me, he stood up nervously.

"Did you..."

"...tell him?"

I nodded.

"I told him everything."

Korn swallowed.

"Was he angry?"

I looked down at the ground.

"That's the strange part."

"He wasn't."

Korn's expression changed.

"He wasn't?"

"He just..."

"...accepted it."

Neither of us understood.

Neither of us knew...

That Narin's heart had already started drifting toward someone else.

And that was why...

The truth about my kiss no longer hurt him the way it should have.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IJ7lVhMT
