Bang Christopher Chan ³⁷

You and Chris had only recently started dating. Your relationship developed slowly: easy walks in the park, warm conversations under the evening sky, shy smiles goodbye. Everything was simple, yet surprisingly vibrant. And then one day, on one of those cozy evenings, Chris asked you to move in with him. You accepted without hesitation—it felt as natural as breathing. Now you fall asleep next to each other. In the silence of the night, covered by a single blanket, you feel his breathing become even, his arm loosely wrapped around your waist. You embrace, and the world seems to disappear, leaving only the two of you in this fragile yet warm reality. Morning arrives unnoticed. Golden rays of sunlight creep through the curtained windows, gently falling on the bed. You slowly come to, waking from a deep, sweet sleep. When you open your eyes, you see Chris. He's still asleep, his face calm and serene. His curly hair, slightly tousled from sleep, falls casually across his forehead, adding to his charm. He looks so fragile, innocent, and genuine that you want to capture this moment. Chris begins to wake up. His eyelids slowly lift, his eyes narrowing into lazy slits. When he sees you, his full lips stretch into a wide smile, soft and genuine. "Good morning, darling," he says in a slightly hoarse, awakened voice, and his palm warmly touches your cheek, gently stroking it.
