-------------------Gulf's POV-----------------------

I finally got used to my new life, acting and modeling were easier than I thought as if I've done them for a long time or maybe I had a talent for them and I just didn't get the chance to try them before, honestly, I'm enjoying this life way better than my older one, I've become close friends with Mew and he would visit me 3 or 4 times a week and we chat everyday

I also would call my family every two or three days as well as my friends, well I'm still getting used to them since I had a very hard time dealing with the other them in my world yet luckily no one noticed that I wasn't the Gulf they knew which is making me more relieved, still there is a few things I must deal with, the media, the stalkers and the weird gifts I would receive sometimes and so I asked the manager to prepare for me to appear at a famous TV show who did immediately

It was a really great show where I met other famous people and we had fun doing some quizzes and playing some games until it was time to Q&A part of the show, I asked to be the last to go just in case of any ruckus because of what I'm going to talk about, after asking a couple of simple questions

"... so mister Gulf, I heard you were the one who asked to be on this show, you must have smth important with everyone"

"that's right, I want to speak of smth that has been happening to me for more than two years now and I'm sure other idols and famous people are suffering for it too, stalking"

"stalking? By who?"

"the media and the fans, personally, I love being surrounded by my dear fans and everyone when it's work time but it's bothering me a lot to be stalked while I'm having private time, honestly, it's creepy to have someone follow you all the way from morning to night and it makes me hate whoever is doing it"

"I understand your worries, even though you are a popular actor and model yet you are also a normal man outside of work, besides it's scary to be followed when you want just to meet your friends or family"

"because of them I got deprived from meeting them, it took me more than 4 months to see my parents and more than a year to meet my two close friends again, I had to stay home so I won't cause troubles for them because of the detestable stalking of both fans and media so to everyone who is listening, please, stop following famous people around, it will only make us hate you and even hate our job"

"I agree with Gulf, this has been happening to me for years and it's really making me so stressful" an older idol said joining in followed by the rest of the famous guests who appeared on the show

"I even found a photographer sneaking around my backyard last month and he almost gave me a heart attack" another one said

"we are all grateful for our fans' love and support and we really love them back but please there are limits you must respect, I know someone who gave up dancing because of some crazy fans who caused him a severe injury"

"I don't mind being approached for pictures or a autograph for a while if anyone noticed me walking in the streets but hiding in the shadows and recording every second of my private life is honestly despicable, oh one more thing, well I'm not sure if this is happening to everyone else, I've been receiving the worst gifts, some are disgusting and some are scary, for those who is sending those, I already stopped opening them and would threw them out immediately so stop spending your money on things I won't see or even bother me" I stated shocking everyone

"why didn't you tell the police?"

"there was nothing stick to it, it's only a box I find now and then in front of my house, well I've been patient and quiet all this time but next time, if I get a glimpse of a stalker or get any weird gift be prepared for what is going to happen to you, this would be my first and last warning for you, don't make me hate you even more, of course for the rest of my lovely precious fans who keep cheering for me and supporting me from a distance and respect the limits you are really amazing and the best and I will keep working hard for you"

"you are really brave for talking about a sensitive thing mister Gulf, I hope that the viewers understood you and will be better from now on, I have one last question that some fans sent, it seem that your behavior changed a bit compared to half a year ago, personally I also noticed, you are more honest and straightforward lie right now talking about smth many other idols are suffering from" I smiled looking a bit surprised for a moment then quickly smiled

"before, I was more focused on my work and was patient with everything happening to me, I also didn't want to worry my family and my dear fans yet at some point I noticed that I became lonely, I stopped meeting my friends and rarely see my family, even on my rest days I had to stay indoors so I won't cause problem for anyone, so my life started to be so stressful just working and then spending time alone and it got me even depressed and exhausted and then one day I decided it was enough"

"you wanted to be honest and tell everyone about your real feelings right?"

"exactly, I apologize for worrying you and hiding things from you before but I wasn't happy and I had to bottle many things inside me but today, here I'm telling everyone the truth, I want to keep enjoying my job and to do that I need more freedom during my private time, I decided to be completely honest with my fans and everyone else, well I hope that I didn't disappoint anyone and if I did, I'm sorry but this is the real me and I hope you will accept me for who I am"

"I'm sure they will all accept you with open arms, I myself feel more comfortable with you and it's easy talking to you, it's rare to meet a famous person who is being true to himself and not faking his smiles or his talks in front of others, you are really amazing mister Gulf, I had a great time talking to you"

"I'm also so happy to be here today and talking my heart out" with that the show ended, I was surrounded by the other guests who complimented my courage to talk about that subject and they also decide to be more open about what bothers them and the media that keep stressing them, it seem they were scared to talk about it and were waiting for someone to take the initiative and I'm glad I did

I thought that after appearing on that famous show, my popularity will be affected and I many haters will appears and I will lose more fans but to my surprise, I've become internationally famous, the episode of the show I appeared on got translated to many languages and millions of idols supported me and also came out expressions their feelings too, the media that used to follow me secretly started to came forward asking me and I'm fine with that, only one thing kept troubling me, the disturbing gifts didn't stop thus I contacted the police who promised to investigate the matter

I felt more free than before, I could visit my family and meet my friends anytime I want, I also started to go out shopping with Mew without a disguise, of course I still get their attention but everyone respected me and let me walk around without surrounding me and even if they did come closer, they will quickly ask for a photo or autograph and walk away

"you did a great job Gulf, your honesty and your courage really changed a lot, many other idols are even thanking you online" Mew said while we were cooking

"I was so nervous that day and got afraid, I almost gave up talking about that when it was my turn but imagining that I may be able to enjoy free undisturbed time with you while going out and meeting my family and other friends is what pushed me to do it" I said busywith cutting some vegetables

"you are indeed amazing, doing this to be able to spend more time with me and your family makes me feel so happy and proud to be your friend"

"you and my family are the most precious people I have, especially you who knows everything about me that's why I want to enjoy our time together" I noticed that Mew went silent so I glanced to find him stunned and he was blushing a little

"Mew?" I asked confused, he quickly turned away

"you are too honest Gulf but knowing that I'm that precious to you makes me overjoyed"

"oh, I didn't know you are a shy person" I teased him seeing him getting more embarrassed

"I'm not shy! It's just..."

"you are the first one I met since I woke up in this world, you helped, supported and encouraged me, thanks to you, I'm really enjoying my life, I'm so grateful for everything you did to me" I smiled thanking him, he stared at me with red face

"that's not fair Gulf, you keep smiling purely and beautifully like that while making me feel like this..." he murmured looking down making me confused

"what are you talking about Mew?" I asked getting closer to him, I noticed he was taking a deep breath as if he was trying to calm himself then smiled glancing to me

"nothing, I'm glad that you are so happy with your new life, I will always keep being with you so let's enjoy our time to the fullest from now on"

"of course we will" I'm so joyous with having Mew around, his presence means a lot to me yet after that day I noticed that he would shiver when I touch him, he also gets bashful out of nowhere and at some point started to keep his distance from me, he still acted the same being friendly, listening and cooking visiting me whenever he got time

Yet I could tell that smth has changed, especially when he go outside for even normal walks around the close park, he make sure to keep some distance and would walk farther away when I'm stopped by some fans which made me get worried and very sad

I tried asking him many times but he always keep a smile saying he is fine and about keeping a distance he said it was for my own good so he won't accidently hurt me or scratch me saying that he read about it yet I could tell he was lying and that he was hiding smth

"Mew just answer me truthfully, it's troublesome being with me right?" I finally asked when he was ready to leave after eating dinner, he was shocked seeing me so sad

"of course not! I really enjoy being with you Gulf"

"then why, why are you avoiding me? It's like you suddenly created a wall between us, a wall that never existed before" he looked down with a guilty expression

"I'm sorry Gulf for making me worried and depressed like that"

"I don't need your apology, I want to hear the reason" I looked to him seriously and waiting patiently for him to talk

"it's all my fault, lately I... let's say I got strange ideas and feelings but I promise as soon as I deal with them I will return to how I used to be just please give me some time to rearrange my feelings and thoughts"

"don't you want to share them with me? Let me help you" he smiled softly

"thank you but it's my problem and my stupid feeling so let me deal with it, I'm really sorry Gulf, so sorry, I promise you I will do my best and come back" he just kept apologizing looking down, I could tell he was hurt and very troubled

"alright, I will wait for you Mew and if there anything I could help with please rely on me"

"thanks a lot, I promise I will, see you soon" I saw him off as he smiled walking toward the elevator, although I was worried I also trusted him, that he will keep his promise.

However, since that day, Mew stopped completely contacting me...
