My Moon, Chapter 33 pg 4
My Moon, Chapter 33 pg 4
“Why look at anyone else? No one is as good as you. My heart overflows… I don’t know how to say it to express more than the love I’ve already spoken…”
“…and still the words “love” and “thank you”
“that I want to say for the rest of my life…”
“Whatever I ask you to do, you do it without a single complaint… none at all. So perfect, etched deep in my heart, that you’re better than anyone else. I don’t need anything else, because today I have you.”
“…”
“No need to ask, I know how much you love me. I’ve said it… I don’t know what words to use.”
“…”
“No matter how much I say I love you, it’s probably not enough for me.”
“…”
“Who should I turn to look at... No one is as good as you, my heart is overflowing... I don’t know how to say it beyond words, that I love you, as I’ve already said…”
“…”
“More than words can say, I love you, more than words can say, I love you, so you know…”
At this moment, Klai stops singing, letting the guitarist showcase a solo performance, and the image of meeting Panli for the first time flashes vividly in his mind again…
Panli with the song, Saliva
Panli teasing the guitarist with such familiarity
Panli, so incredibly charming, on that day
And even though Klai, singing on stage right now, may not have the same charm as Panli did that day, Klai believes there’s one thing he can match Panli in… and that is, “love.”
Klai doesn’t love Panli any less than Panli loves Klai…
When the beautiful guitar melody ends, Klai is supposed to sing the next verse, but instead, he thinks…
“I love you Panli.”
This is the moment…
“When I see “the moon” shining brighter than the sun.”
“…”
“Panli…”
“…”
“I knows… even though I is a rascal,”
“…”
“Even though you are Moon or a big puppy,”
“…”
“And no matter what the two of us are in this world,”
Klai pauses as the overwhelming feelings in his heart well up, choking his throat. But Panli’s encouraging smile gives him the strength to continue…
“…the two of us still love each other so much, regardless.”
“And because we love each other this much,”
“…”
“Panli… be my boyfriend.”
“Meow~”
“Do it! Do it now!”
Klai broke into a wide smile as several seniors cheered and teased, while Panli’s close friends shouted in support, creating the lively atmosphere as instructed by senior Real.
Panli stood there with a small smile for a moment before Phii Fah walked over and stood beside him. Phii Fah crossed his arms like Panli and nodded toward Klai.
“Go… take your wife home.”
“Hoo~”
Panli shook his head slightly, then strode toward Klai. He effortlessly hopped onto the stage, and at that moment, “the same old moon” drew closer to Klai.
Klai smiled softly while locking eyes with his lover. A large hand moved to cradle his face, and then those curved lips pressed against his. This time, Panli’s kiss felt different.
It was a kiss with a… sweet, gentle taste.
A kiss with a… warm, fragrant scent.
And a kiss born from “love.”
Klai couldn’t help but smile faintly while kissing his lover. The roaring cheers and teasing from everyone around made him so shy that his face burned. In the next moment, Panli pulled back from the kiss slowly and gently, as always…
Klai pursed his lips tightly, meeting Panli’s gaze. Panli smiled softly and said in a quiet voice, “Thank you.”
Klai nodded quickly before saying, “Panli, you haven’t answered me yet.”
“I answered with a kiss, didn’t I?”
“No way… you have to answer with words too.”
“...”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
Panli grinned widely before saying, “If I refused, that’d be bad.”
“...”
“Alright… the pup will be the naughty one’s boyfriend.” Panli said, wrapping his arms around Klai. Klai hugged him back.
“Hoo~”
“The little pup really got to be Khun Klai’s boyfriend, yo~”
“Congratulations, Panli.”
The two of them stood embracing amidst the applause, cheers, and well-wishes from everyone. As Klai held his beloved tightly, his heart kept repeating the word...
“Thank you.”
Thank you to the Borirat and Pisut families.
Thank you to friends, thank you to siblings, thank you to everyone.
Thank you to his beloved, Panli.
Thank you to himself... and to this world.
Panli pulled away from the embrace, and we locked eyes for a moment before he flashed a cheeky smile...
“Boyfriend...”
“Yes?”
“Tonight... wanna go see the moon at my place?”
Panli’s question made Klai break into a smile. He hadn’t forgotten the promise between them, and because Klai never forgot, he had come well-prepared.
“Deal... Tonight, I will go see the moon at my boyfriend’s place,” Klai replied, returning a smile to his beloved.
Panli beamed with a radiant smile before leaning in close to Klai’s ear and whispering softly, “Actually... we’re going to reach the moon together.”
Klai burst out laughing at Panli’s words, then playfully wrinkled his nose at the sly one.
“Going to see the moon at his place... means...?”
“Ugh, stop decoding the secret code already!”
“Why? I’m just curious!”
“The fact that they have a secret code... means they don’t want others meddling.”
“I’m not meddling... I’m just curious. You never get me.”
The two of them laughed while listening to Phii Real and Phii Hia bickering by the stage. Then Panli pulled him into another embrace, and Klai hugged his beloved back, as always...
“Panli...”
“Yes?”
“Thank you.”
“…”
“Thank you, Theerak, Klai”
“Thank you, Theerak, you’re awesome too... Klaijai”
Thank you for making our hearts stay together, Klai.
