Author POV

Setting: Restaurant

Anthony: Okay! Gulf! Are you enjoying your food?

Gulf: mmmhhh! Yes! It's good!

Anthony: Do you need anything else?

Gulf: Oh no! I'm already full!

Anthony: Okay! That's good! (Looks at Gulf so intently)

Gulf: Why, Anthony! Do I have something on my face

Anthony: No! I'm just mesmerized by how beautiful you are at this moment! I can't believe that I'm with you! I like you, Gulf! I like you so much! I never wanted a guy before, but you made me realize all the possibilities. I don't care if you are a talent from our talent agency. I like you!

Gulf: I like you too! (Pretended to be happy!)

Anthony: Really!

Gulf: Yes! You're so kind to me!

Anthony: Of course! I like you!

Anthony started to touch Gulf, starting from his hand going to his shoulder, then he shifted to Gulf's legs, which shocked the man. He moves back a little!

Gulf: Anthony, wait!

Anthony: Why!

Gulf: I'm sorry, but I can't!

Anthony: Are you denying me?

Gulf: No! It's just that!

Anthony: What's your problem?

Gulf: Wait? Why do you seem so angry!

Anthony: You embarrassed me!

Gulf: Embarrassed?

Anthony: Come! Let go! I need to bring you somewhere to loosen you up!

Gulf: Where are we going.

Anthony: You know where! I'm sure you have an idea already of where I want to bring you. You said you like me, right? Prove it!

Gulf: How?

Anthony: Give yourself to me, and I promise you! I will give you everything.

Anthony tried to touch Gulf again, but Gulf pushed him. This time it's hard that Anthony almost lost his balance. Gulf seemed to be awakened to what is happening.

Gulf: I can't! I can't go with you!

Anthony: Gulf! Where are you going! Gulf!

Gulf started to run away!

~~~

Setting: In the middle of the road. This happened to Gulf when he called Mew on the phone that night before he disappeared.

Gulf is currently crying while walking on the sidewalk, and he doesn't know what to do! He doesn't know where to go! He doesn't know whom to call for help!

Gulf: I'm stupid! I'm so stupid! Where should I go now! Mew! Where are you! Please help me, Mew! Where are you!

Gulf quickly looked for his phone and dialed Mew's number

Gulf: Please answer the phone, Mew! Please! I need you!

Gulf POV

I'm selfless! I can do everything for my mom, but what happened that night is my limit. When Anthony held me, the first person who came into my mind was Mew! I know how much it would hurt him if he saw that it was happening! He'll be angry, and I'm sure he'll go berserk again! He can even kill Anthony when Mew knew what he did to me!

That is who Mew is! He is that protective of me! His protectiveness gives me the strength to say no to Anthony that night! I was awakening that night! I realized, why am I letting some guys do that to me if there is a man who cares for me deeply and will never do anything to hurt me! Why am I letting someone like Anthony take advantage of me if Mew never even tried to disrespect me? Why am I allowing some guys to use my body if I don't love them? Why am I doing things that are against what I want! Why am I letting my mom control me? Why am I carrying all the sins and mistakes that my parents commit in the first place?

Thankfully! I still have Mew despite everything that happens to us! Just one call, and he is already there running to rescue me! He brought me to his home without question! He just let me rest and calms myself.

Another reason why I am not deserving of someone like Mew.

~~~

Mew and Gulf are now inside Mew's room.

Mew: Gulf, ahh, I'm sorry, my room is small for you!

Gulf: Of course not! You have a much bigger room than mine.

Mew: Uhm, aren't you going to tell me what happens? How did you get to that place? Why are you crying?

Mew awkwardly asked Gulf.

Gulf: Not now, Mew! I'm tired already!

Mew: Ahh, okay! Here! You can sleep here! I'll stay in the living room! Just call me if you need anything.

Mew was about to step away, but Gulf stopped him.

Gulf: Mew, ahh, can you stay here with me? I don't think I can be bear to be alone right now!

Mew: Huh? (Sounded shocked)

Gulf: Sleep here! Beside me!

Mew seems to feel uneasy about Gulf's request. Gulf saw it.

Gulf: But if you don't want it, it's okay.

Mew: Oh! No! Of course, It's okay! I'll stay here!

Gulf then sleeps on the bed and gives space for Mew to sleep.

Gulf: Here, sleep beside me!

Mew: Are you sure?

Gulf: Of course! Crazy!

Mew slowly lay beside Gulf. Their surroundings were field with awkwardness. Gulf looks at Mew before speaking again.

Gulf: Uhm, Mew? Can I hug you?

Mew smiles so widely hearing what Gulf has said to him.

Mew: Of course! You can even do more! It's very welcome!

Gulf: Crazy!

Mew: Joke! Come here! Sleep here! I'm always willing to hold you like this.

Mew then extended his arm for Gulf to rest his head to his chest and hug him.

Gulf: Mew, Thank you!

Mew: I love you!

After a few moments, Gulf woke up.

Gulf: Mew, are you still awake? (Silence)

Gulf looked at Mew and started to talk to him while crying.

Gulf: Gosh! How can you be so handsome! You're more handsome when you are asleep! It's like you aren't going to do something terrible when you are sleeping! How can you love someone like me! Mew, I'm so sorry! I hurt you! I don't know what to do with you! I don't even know what to do with myself! Why are you so OA when it comes to love! I feel so undeserving of all the things you can give for love! Not now! I know you're going to forget about me. Someday I know you will! Gosh! No! You forget about me! No! Please don't forget about me! No! Yes, forget about me! Forget about me already! Please be happy! Please take care of yourself! I'm the one who will remember the both of us! Thank you, Mew! Thank you!

Walking down the stairs

Mew's dad: You're going to leave?

Gulf: Good Evening, oh no! Good morning, Sir!

Mew's dad: Are you Gulf?

Gulf: Ah, yes, sir! I am!

Mew's dad: Do you want some coffee?

Gulf: Oh, no, sir! No need! I need to go! Before! Before Mew wakes up!

Mew's dad: Do you really need to leave my son?

Gulf: Ahh, sir! Uhmm...

Mew's dad: I don't know what is happening to your life! But the only thing that I can say to you is that we'll meet again!

Gulf: Pardon, Sir?

Mew's dad: I said, we'll meet again! My son loves you! I know my son so much! I know he will find you even at the end of the world to see you again. My son is crazy!

Gulf: I agree with you, sir! Thank you, sir!

Mew's dad: Thank you too! I thought my son was going to be numb his whole life! It's good that you can make him cry! Thank you for changing him!
