Gulf POV

I and Mew have been walking for half an hour now. We started to talk about some little things. I can see that he is a nice person, prank but nice. He has a very attractive smile. It looks like it is the most beautiful and genuine thing you can ever see. He smiles as he talks about things.

"So how long are you and Mild are gonna stay here??" He asked me so I looked at him briefly before answering

"ahh about that, maybe for 2 weeks or less it depends. To tell you the truth I am kind of a busy person. I didn't even think about having this vacation at all but my persuasive of a best friend wanted me to come here. I can't say no to him so here I am because I don't have a choice but to agree. " I said to him

"Good thing it happens, I will not see you if you didn't !!" He said in a small voice like a whisper

"Excuse me?" I asked him cause I didn't hear him properly

"Ahh nothing, I just said that it's nice that you decided to go here. I know how stressful life in the city is. It's nice to relax sometimes to regain all your positive energy." He smilingly said to me. I smiled back at him

"Your right about that, it is the one main reason why I agree." I said to him

We just keep on walking when

"Hi Mew!! Where were you headed to?? Is he your cousin from the city??" Some middle-aged woman asked Mew out of nowhere. I saw how mew smile at her. I think they know each other.

"Ah nowhere Auntie, I'm just accompanying him." He smilingly answered her.

Is she his Auntie??

"Ahh OK! A tourist??" She asked again

"Ahh Yes, Auntie!!" He answered again. I was just looking at them

"Okay!! See you tomorrow, Tell me if you needed some help again with the hotel ahh!! Even if it's not operational again you know how much that hotel is important to us, we all are happy to help you anytime." She smilingly said to me. Mew just smiled at her then she walked away

We continue and I saw how every people we encounter in this place greeted Mew every time they see him it's like they all knew him somehow which is very fascinating. Mew just greeted them and calls the oldies Auntie or Uncle and bro and sis for the youngster.

"Wow! Is every people in this place your relative??" I asked him cluelessly but he just laughs at me as if laugh so hard!! He stopped when he realized that I'm starting to feel annoyed.

Is there something wrong with what I asked him? I just continue to walk.

One fun fact about me is that my patience is very thin.

I just left him there and continue to walk away but he quickly runs after me and stopped me

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you, I just really find it funny that you thought that every people here is my relative haha how I wish but no! They are not my relatives, I just know all of them." He casually said to me as we continue to walk again.

I was shocked by what he said!! Is it possible to know everyone in your community??

"Really!! Wow, that's amazing!!" I said to him happily. How I wish I can be like him. My parents are always cautious about me from when I was a kid till a teenager. My mother had so many miscarriages that they didn't think they will have another baby!! I'm kind of a miracle baby!! Maybe that is why I learn to live my life to the fullest when I was in colleges

He just smiled at me.

"But how?? Sorry, I'm just curious. How did you know all of these people." I asked him.

"Ahh about that, you may know already that this place is a small community only so it's very easy for me to know all of them especially if they all work for and know my family. I mean work with my family especially with my mom!!"

"Wow!! It's so fascinating. is your mom here??" I asked him but he turned suddenly sad.

Oh no!! Did I say something wrong?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Did I said something wrong!! Gosh!! My mouth sometimes is unstoppable!!"

I told him while patting my lips.

He just smiled back at me before speaking again

"No! Gulf, you didn't. I just remember my mom. uhmm yes! Most of the people here know my mom, every person here somewhat worked at the hotel where my mom is working before he died. I lived here my whole life so it's impossible for me not to them." He smilingly said to me

"Oh! I thought I offended you or something. I'm sorry if I bring up something that will connect with your mom. Mother topics kinda sensitive too, it always saddens me when I talk about my late mom. You don't have to talk about your mom if you're not comfortable. I see that your mom is so good at people, seeing and hearing how people talk to you it seems that they like you and your mom too." I said to him

"He is. he is really good." He smilingly said to me.

Wait did I hear him right??

"He? What do you mean he??" I curiously asked him

"Yes! My mom is a guy!! My parents are a gay couple. Do you have any problem with that" He asked me? He is not mad, he is just curious I think with my opinion

Omg!! Gay Couple!! Does this mean a gay couple doesn't bother him?

I don't know why but I feel so relieved about it.

Gosh!! What do I feel this way?

"Ahh no!! I don't of course!! I'm just shocked. It very unusual especially with our society now." I smilingly said to him

"Yes! I know that but that kind of thing doesn't bother me at all because of how my mom cares for him. He took care of me the same as just like how any woman mother can do. It didn't become a burden to him. He is the best!! He is one of a kind." He said to me

I can't help but smile so widely with him, I can't help but be fascinated that he is not like any other people I have met. One reason why I'm hesitant in exposing who I am is that I'm afraid of hearing and seeing people will judge and talks about my gender.

I'm relieved knowing that he is not like them. It became more clear to me what kind of a person he is. He is not like what I thought he was before.

I thought he was just some arrogant human being but he is not.

I hope he is not.

"Why are smiling??" He asked me all of a sudden, I didn't notice that I was absent-mindedly smiling in front of him. I quickly turned around to change our topic.

"Come on!! We have to go back!! I think mild is already looking for me." I said to him

He just followed me and continue to walk beside me without speaking anything!!

That was awkward!!

Mew POV

I don't know why but I feel so comfortable talking and walking with him earlier that I even brought about my mom. I never brought him into any conversation with other people before even with my dad when he died because I don't want to feel sad anymore

But with him. It's very different. It was so peaceful with him. I feel like I can tell everything and anything with him without minding what might he say.

I want to know him more. I don't know why but I do!! I want to know him more.

We are currently here in front of their hotel. We decided to drop them off already cause it's already late.

Champ is still pursuing to stay behind but I warned him that he doesn't want to give a bad impression to his boyfriend for being aggressive so, in the end, he agrees.

"Love!! Bye Bye!! We have to go inside na!!" Mild sulking said to his boyfriend. He is snaking his arms into his Champ and doesn't want to let go. From what I'm seeing. He is very drunk already!!

"I'm sorry about my best friend Mew, he is just like this when he gets drunk!! Gosh!! Mild!! Sober up already!! It's embarrassing you know!!" Gulf said which made me laugh a little while looking at them

Now Mild is hugging Gulf tightly and he is calling him love. I think he thinks that Gulf is his boyfriend

"Are you okay! I can help you with him you allow me to." I said to him

"Nope! I can manage!! He is a pain in my ass but I can manage him." Gulf is struggling while trying to lift Mild who is on the floor sitting like a child waiting for his lollipop.

" oh! Okay!!" I said then Gulf is now carrying his friend inside while I am holding my drunk friend too!!

When I remember something

"Ahh Gulf!!." I called him so he turned around again

"Why?" He asked

"Would like me and Champ to accompany you too with your tour tomorrow. It is easier to explore this place if you have someone who can guide you. Someone who knows the place inside out. but it is only if you want us too" I asked him

He thinks for a while first then he smiled at me.

"Yes!! We would love that. Thanks for the offer, Mew!! I appreciate it." I said to him

"No problem. see you tomorrow!!" I smilingly said to him

" See you!!" He said then proceed on going inside

I can't help but smile widely while knowing that I will be able to see him again tomorrow. I feel like I won something big!!

I don't understand why I feel this way but I want to find out. I want to understand this.

I want to know why I'm feeling this way with him.
