🌌💔
A few days have passed. Campus life has found its rhythm again—classes, laughter, tea cups... and those soft, silent moments where Tanid and Ohona are slowly discovering each other. 🍃
One evening, just before the rain, the sunlight seemed too tired to go on. ☁️Tanid and Ohona are sitting on the rooftop of an old bookshop—it's a hidden spot, barely known, perfect for just the two of them. 📚🌇
Tanid (softly): "Ohona... there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now…You don't always laugh like you do with us. You don't open up easily with others. I get it now. Behind that smile… something's there, isn't it?" 🤍
Ohona (silent for a moment, then slowly): "You're right... There was a time in my life when... I didn't want to live anymore." 🌧️💔
Tanid flinches, wants to say something—but he doesn't.Just listens. 🫣
Ohona (eyes down):"It was in class 9. My parents were always fighting. Eventually… they separated. I stayed with my mom, but even she wasn't really there. Our home felt like shattered glass—touch it, and you'd bleed." 🫥🩸
Tanid (at a loss for words): "…"
Ohona (a faint tear forming): "One day… I stood at the window grille for a long time. Thought maybe… I'll end it. But... I didn't. Mom saw me. I broke down crying. That's the first time she truly realized how broken I was inside. Later, we moved here… tried to start over." 🪟🕊️
Tanid (quietly): "Ohona… I never realized you had been through so much."
Ohona (soft smile): "No one needed to know, right? But with you... I can say it. Because you listen. Not to judge… but just to be there." 🌼
Tanid (gently): "Why would I judge you? Actually… the way you stand by others now, that's what amazes me the most." ✨
A quiet moment settles. The smell of rain floats in the air. 🌫️First raindrops fall on the rooftop. 🌧️
Ohona (looking up): "You know… You're becoming one of the safest people in my life." 🛡️💙
Tanid (with a strange glow in his eyes)He doesn't say anything. Just smiles softly.Maybe... something inside him feels a little warm. ☺️
The sound of rain drowns everything else.But they both know—something's changing. 💫
🌧️Meanwhile, Garnet and Ayan secretly watch the whole scene from inside.
Garnet (jaw dropped): "Bro... is this a movie or real life!?" 🎬😲
Ayan (sipping tea): "Dude, this ain't a movie—it's a freakin' life art film! You can name it 'When Tea Meets Tears' 😎☕😭"
Garnet: "Heh... bro... Watching them makes me believe… People can shine light from the most broken places." ✨🫶
Ayan: "And what about us?"
Garnet: "We? We're just sipping tea… in the warmth of their light." 🍵🌤️
Laughter fills the air as a new day begins. 🌈✨(To be continued...)
