Chapter Text
"Are you nervous?" Chimon asks, tapping his friend on the shoulder.
"You have no idea." Ohm breathes shakily. They're currently standing next to the Chao Phraya river, candles and flowers surrounding them.
"Oh trust me, I do." Chimon chuckled. "I know, because I was this nervous when I proposed to my wife too."
Ohm nodded. Right, of course Chimon would know.
"Are you sure about this?" Chimon suddenly asks.
Ohm looked at him and nodded. "Yes. Yes, I am."
Chimon stared at his friend, sighed and nodded. "Good luck buddy. Hope she says yes." He tapped his shoulder before walking to where Perth and Nanon are standing.
"Damn you!" Ohm exclaimed.
Minutes later, the woman who will soon be Ohm's fiance, arrived and is very much surprised.
"Gosh. This is just like when you proposed to your lady Chims." Perth spoke as they watched.
"But that's fine too. It really is, because I have realized that no matter where you are, or what you're doing, or who you're with, I will always honestly, truly, completely love you." - Rosie
"I love you."
Nanon bit his lips, as memories of that night flooded his mind like a tsunami.
"I know. I love you too."
He really did, still do. He loves Ohm so much, he used to say he's never had someone love him the way Ohm loves him, but now, he can say that he's also never loved someone as much as he loves Ohm. No one stood a chance, to be loved by him the way he loves Ohm. No one stood a chance at loving him the way Ohm loves him. No one ever will.
"No Non, I love you. Not like a sister or brother loves a brother, and definitely not a friend loves a friend."
"I know. I love you the way you love me Ohm."
Nanon wonders if Ohm still loves him the way Nanon does? Maybe not, right? Seeing how he's now proposing to his girlfriend as Nanon stood to the side, watching, heart shattering into a million pieces.
He had hoped to not regret anything when it comes to choosing the right person for him, but how can that be, when the person he wanted to choose, the only person he wanted to choose is now asking someone else to marry him?
"I want all the things you want us to be, but I would choose friendship Ohm, because in that way, I can have you for life."
It really was the right choice at that time, to be just friends, and he had hoped that maybe, he'd get over the feelings he had for his friend, but jokes on him, it never disappeared, not even for just a second.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"No regrets." Chimon said next to him. "No regrets for both of you, is what I'm hoping."
Nanon's lips trembled, a lone tear escaped his eye. "I can't be here." He said and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Perth asked, but Chimon just shook his head no. Perth sigh. "They wanted to remain friends."
"I know." Chimon replied. "I know."
They've been friends for so many years, they noticed it, especially Chimon who was always with them. He noticed it even when they're still shooting for Blacklist.

Nanon didn't go that far, but still far away from where Ohm was. He just stared at the water, his tears flowing freely.
"Non."
Nanon flinched and slowly looked behind him, finding Ohm standing not far from where he is.
Oh no. He's here to tell you the good news Non. He'll tell you how she said yes and how happy he is. Nanon thought. You need to show him you're happy for him.
"Ohm."
Ohm smiled. "Rosie once said that choosing the person that you want to share your life with, is one of the most important decisions any of us makes, because when it's wrong, it turns your life to gray." He steps closer to Nanon. "I was there Non, I'm with this amazing girl, I want to share my life with her, but when I knelled in front of her, I couldn't do it." Ohm shakes his head. "I couldn't find it in me to ask her the question."
Nanon just looked at Ohm, waiting to hear more, but Ohm looked at him expectantly.
"Ask me why." Ohm spoke again. "Ask me why Non."
Nanon gulped. "W-why?"
"Because she's not you." Nanon's tears started falling again. "You're the only one I want to ask that question to, you're the one I want to say yes."
"Ohm.." Nanon sobbed. "What-"
"I love you. Not like a sister or brother loves a brother and definitely not a friend who loves a friend."
Despite his tears, Nanon choked out a laugh, wiping his tears away, but fresh new ones would just replace them.
"I know." Nanon smiled. "I love you the way you love me Ohm."
They both smiled.
Ohm opened his arms and Nanon immediately ran to him, wrapping his arms around Ohm's shoulder, hugging each other tightly.
"I love you." Nanon whispered.
"I love you too." Ohm whispered back.
"Let's stop being afraid and take the chance. I promise, I'll make you happy." - Alex
