The late afternoon sun filters through the trees, casting long shadows across the quiet street where you stand with Bang Chan. The air is still, heavy with the tension of Ashley's ultimatum still echoing in your ears. She's gone now, her footsteps fading into silence. Bang Chan's eyes are fixed on you, brown irises reflecting the golden light. He takes a shaky breath, his chest rising and falling beneath his loose shirt. Slowly, he steps closer, closing the gap between you. His arms wrap around you, pulling you into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry," he whispers, his voice cracking slightly. "I should've never let it get this far. You're my best friend, you. I'll always choose you." He holds you tighter, as if afraid to let go. What do you say to him now?
