Embracing the Unexpected

Nib gently inquired, his voice soft and tender, "Win, what are you thinking?"Win hesitated briefly before responding with a shy "Umm...okay."They both moved to the balcony, where Nib sat down and urged Win to get on his shoulders. Win was still somewhat reserved, but Nib's reassuring words coaxed him forward."Win, come on, before anyone sees us," Nib urged.Reluctantly, Win perched on Nib's shoulders, gripping him tightly and expressing his fear, "Nib, please be careful."With a confident smile, Nib assured him, "Don't worry."He encouraged Win to climb onto the tree, but Win's trepidation was apparent. "Nib, I'm afraid," he admitted.In a soft and reassuring tone, Nib asked, "Do you trust me?"Win replied with unwavering trust, "More than anything."Nib playfully teased, "Then just go. By the way, in a month, you've become so heavy."Win retorted with mock offense, "Oh, really? You mean I'm fat. Get me down!"Nib, chuckling, insisted, "No."Win continued to tease, urging him to descend faster. Suddenly, Win playfully began to fidget, causing them both to tumble to the ground. Amidst their laughter, they exchanged concerned inquiries."Are you alright?" Nib asked."Yeah, and how about you?" Win responded."I'm fine," Nib assured him. "Thank you, Win."Puzzled, Win asked, "For what? For making your downfall?"Nib clarified, "For coming into my life. I've never experienced this kind of madness before – caring for someone, crossing this monstrous balcony just to meet you, feeling jealous. Somehow, it's become an integral part of my life, and I can't bear the thought of losing you."Touched by his words, Win confessed, "You've enriched my life, Nib. Thank you for loving me."They locked hands, and in a tender moment, Nib gently leaned over Win.Curious, Win asked, "What are you doing?"Nib responded lovingly, "Loving my sweetheart."Nib closed the distance, heading towards Win's rose petal-shaped lips. But just as their lips were about to meet, Win placed a hand over Nib's mouth and whispered, "What if anyone sees us like this?"Nib removed his hand and, in a soft voice filled with affection, declared, "Let them see. I don't care."With that, Nib fully embraced Win's lips, losing himself in the sweet, passionate moment they shared. Suddenly, their serene moment was shattered by the faint sound of someone moving behind the house. Both Win and Nib swiftly sprang to their feet and made their way to the backyard. However, to their bewilderment, they found no one there.Win's voice trembled as he said, "Why do I feel like someone was watching us?"In an attempt to reassure his anxious lover, Nib replied, "Win, calm down. There's no one here. It was probably just a small animal, a cat, or a dog. Come on, you should head to your room now."Nib gently hoisted Win onto his shoulders once more, and Win gazed out from the balcony, their eyes locked in a silent, longing exchange. After a brief pause, Win extended his hand towards Nib, a silent invitation.Confused, Nib asked, "What's wrong?"Win simply replied, "Come.""No," Nib hesitated.Win pressed on, "Nib, do you trust me?"Nib didn't hesitate to answer, "More than anything."With an unspoken understanding, Win urged, "Then come."Unable to resist Win's plea, Nib reluctantly stepped onto the balcony beside him. As they ventured back into the room, they were met with an unexpected sight: someone was seated in a chair. Both Nib and Win clutched each other's hands tightly and cautiously made their way towards the light switch. When Win finally flipped it on, their shock doubled because the person sitting there was none other than Kimsy herself.Kimsy continued to observe them, her gaze unwavering. Nib made a move to approach her, but Win stopped him, gripping his hand tightly and silently signaling, "No."With an air of curiosity, Kimsy finally inquired, "Where were you, Win? And, are you two boyfriends?"Win hesitated, unsure of how to respond.Kimsy, with a soft smile, added, "Good choice... and good night, boys. Have fun. I shouldn't trouble you both any further."With that, she began to leave. Win couldn't help but remark, "See how considerate she is!"Nib, in a playful and seductive tone, chimed in, "I don't know about considerate, but she's certainly a bit peculiar. But why are we even talking about her? As she said, let's have some fun..."....mphh......ahh......hhhh.................uffff...Nib..............................Win....hmmm......done........It's a new morning. Win came downstairs, and Kimsy was in the kitchen. Win approached Kimsy, his steps hesitant and uncertain.Kimsy inquired, "Why are you alone? Where's Nib?"Win replied, "Actually, Kimsy, he had some urgent matters to attend to, so he left at 6:00 am."Kimsy sighed, "Oh, I even prepared breakfast for him."Win reassured her, "It's alright. He'll join us next time."Kimsy nodded and invited him to sit, saying, "Come, have a seat."As Win settled in, he mustered the courage to speak, "Kimsy, I'm sorry..."Kimsy questioned, "Sorry for what?"Win admitted, "I shouldn't have kept this from you. I was just afraid of how you'd react, scared that you might kick me out if you found out."Kimsy smiled gently, "Win, it's okay. Don't apologize. You and Nib are young. This is your time, so don't let it slip away. And by the way, Nib is quite handsome. Find out if he has an older, unmarried brother."Win chuckled, "You're too much, Kimsy. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a brother, but I'll check if he has any similarly handsome cousins."Kimsy playfully scolded him, "Naughty boy. Come on, have some of this Jungle curry soup. I made it especially for you."Win's eyes lit up, "It's my favorite!" He savored every bite and then expressed his gratitude, "It's delicious. You know, my mom used to make this for me too. Thank you, Kimsy."Kimsy smiled warmly, "You're more than welcome, Win. And, Win, I'm going to pack some for Nib as well. Please give it to him."Win nodded, "Sure, I will. Oops, it's time for me to go. Thank you for this delightful meal. Goodbye..."With a contented heart, Win left for the university, his thoughts still filled with the warmth of Kimsy's understanding and kindness.
