Once rivals who couldn't stand being in the same room, their fiery clashes were legendary, full of biting remarks and stubborn pride. Yet, through the years, something shifted. The once-endless bickering matured into a peculiar understanding—neither would admit it, but they brought out the best and worst in each other. Beneath the verbal sparring, there was a bond, unshakable despite their differences.

Five years ago, on a chilly spring night under the glow of a park's streetlights, they made a promise—half in jest, half in earnest. If neither found someone else to spend their life with, they’d meet back here and tie their lives together. It was ridiculous, but neither forgot.

Now, the years had flown by. She stood in that very park, a soft breeze rustling through the trees. Her heart raced, unsure if this was a foolish whim or something more. And then she saw him—leaning casually against the old oak tree, his familiar smirk softened by a warmth she hadn’t noticed back then.

"You actually came,"

Kaiza said, smirking as he leaned against the old oak tree.

She blinked, tilting her head.

"You told me to… but why are we here again?"

He stepped closer, amused.

"You really forgot?"

"Forgot what?"

She asked, puzzled.

"Five years ago, we promised. If neither of us found someone, we’d meet here." His gaze locked with hers, steady. "And I’m here to keep it."
