Mew's POV

---------------------------------------

When I heard my father saying that there is a big problem I just rushed back to Thailand without asking anything and I now regret that, it's not that I don't want to help other people but coming back all the way from London just to be a bodyguard to a 22 years old boy is really irritating, making me even drop my work at my school just to be stuck to a stranger 24/7 is both boring and annoying.

Well, it's no use crying over spilled milk, I already accepted the job, I just hope that this group get caught soon, I've met and read about many dangerous people but having 7 people coming after one boy and sending that disgusting pictures and the threatening messages is actually so much, I was more surprised to discover that they are even inside the university stalking him from morning to night.

I can see eyes following him but I just can't pinpoint the exact location of that bastard, he is really good at hiding and mix in a group of people, even outside I could feel others stalking us and sense their oozing bad intentions yet they are like ninjas and it's the type I hate and I personally can't deal with, no wonder it's even hard for the police to find them.

I also was shocked when I saw the dead cats and dogs thrown in the garden, the husband was attacked a few times as well as his wife, things are getting destroyed, this is more terrible than facing a criminal, their everyday is filled with terror, I bet they can't even sleep well, those things would drive anyone crazy, I can't believe they have been living like this for over 3 months and what's worse is that the police is currently focusing on some other cases only sending officers to patrol the place every now and then.

Today, as usual, I drove him to the university and then accompanied him around, we didn't talk much except for greetings and the time he introduced to me his two close friends, which make the job even more troublesome is that he is already the center of attention of everyone since he is the son of a famous actress so I quickly got recognized and was approached by many flirting like always, I'm honestly in no mood to flirt right now.

I sat in the back sit during his lectures playing on my phone and watching him focusing on his studies, he is smart like I thought and a very serious student, he wouldn't skip any class and even stay up late reviewing him lessons and he is the only one like that between his friends, he's not fun at all... that's what I thought until I heard his friend

"hey, Gulf, let's go have fun today"

"Ram is right, you've been locked for over a month just going straight home, you also must be overstressed and bored" he looked worried to them

"I'd love to but with things how are now, I'm not sure"

"don't worry, I already found an unknown bar a little far from here, just disguise yourself well and everything will be fine" Prem said

"come on Gulf, let's enjoy ourselves like always" Ram added, he looked down thinking then turned glancing to me

"what do you think P' Mew?" he asked, they all looked to me

"it can be a little dangerous going out by night but since it's a public place and there will be a lot of people I guess it's fine" besides I also would love a change of atmosphere

"yesss! Me and Prem we head first and check the place and if it's good we will send you the location make sure to catch up" Gulf smiled nodding, while driving back

"if you don't want to go just say so" I said catching his attention, he looked up from his phone to me surprised then he sighed leaning back

"I really want to go and have fun, it's just I'm worried, what if that group attack the place? What if they have guns or whatever weapons? Many people will get hurt because of me and I'd hate myself if that happens" he explained

"don't over think and just enjoy yourself at least once a week"

"I know how dangerous and scary criminals can be and that's what terrifies me more" he said looking ahead, is this about what happened with his previous bodyguard? Whatever

"sooner or later those jerks will be caught so don't let them mess your life, you only have a couple of months before your final year so enjoy it while you can"

"I will try" after changing and disguising, he wore and headband and glasses and even changed his clothes style, we sneaked from the back just in case, then we went to the bar that his friends checked, it was a decent one, in the basement of some building and can only be entered by an unnoticeable door in the back of a deserted alley, I'm sure that only those who knows the neighborhood well and their friends would only know of this place

"wow, Ram, how did you find this place?" Gulf asked while we sat in corner far away from any window or door

"my cousin told me about it, since he work close by he came here with his coworkers a couple of times"

"it's a great place actually, let's forget about everything and go crazy tonight!!" Ram yelled raising his glass as we all did, it's nice to have friends like them with you during those times, I listened to them blabbering and laughing, then I watched both Ram and Prem dancing and flirting with the girls

"P' Mew, you can also go dance and have fun too, like you said I'm safe here with all those people around" he suddenly said still drinking

"why don't you join your friends?"

"I'm enjoying myself but for me it's not the greatest time to be flirting so you go entertain yourself, I'm sure you'll find some interesting people around" how sincere can he be, he should think of himself more, anyway, there a few cute girls I see, oh and there is a man who has been eying me for a while

"don't go outside" I said standing up

"I'm not a kid so go" I started approaching the girls who got all shiny and touchy with me, even the man came close joining the group and he also was trying to get my attention, the atmosphere is completely different from London but I like it here too, I was trying to get relaxed a bit like Noah and Luke said, smiling and talking a bit more which actually felt weird for me, it was a little tiresome trying to be who I'm not.

Not realizing that I've spent more than an hour with them I quickly excused myself and returned to the table to find only the two friends each with a girl, when I asked they told me that Gulf went to the restroom so I went back to my group yet I kept my eyes on the restroom door, 10 minutes I saw him walking out putting on a fake smile but I could see that he was very pale and terrified, thanks to martial arts I learned how to read people's feelings with the look in their eyes and his only had pure fear and concern.

I watched him walking back to the table quickly talking with his friends and the girls as if he was trying to distract himself, he also was only drinking water like he wanted to stay completely sober and ready for anything, because of him I couldn't enjoy myself anymore with the group and just went with the flow for the rest of the party, when it was past 11 pm, we all decided to go back

"P' Mew I will drive" he offered but I ignored him and got in the driver seat

"I'm not drunk" I watched his friends driving off first then leaned back while he glanced to me with a confused look

"why aren't you starting the car?"

"spill it"

"huh? Spill what?"

"what happened in the restroom?" he got silent averting his eyes

"no-nothing, I was only approached by some drunk old man that's all" I glared making him flinch understanding that I didn't believe him, he looked down burying his fingers in his tight as if he was trying to calm himself and then he started telling me everything

~~~Flash Back~~~

Gulf was enjoying himself watching his friends and everyone else, this really helped him relax a bit and forget about his troubles, he suddenly felt an intense stare that made him shiver yet he quickly brushed it off thinking that a drunk old man was staring at him since this happened a few times before, he cleared his head when he saw his friend approaching the table with the girls, after exchanging some small talks, Gulf went to the restroom.

When he was washing his hands, he felt the same stare and even before he could turn around, he was held and was harshly pinned to the wall finding himself cornered by two tall huge men wearing casual clothes, mouth masks and caps, one already covered his mouth while the other held a knife up to his neck, the feeling of the cold metal on his skin made Gulf tremble in fear as blood started to freeze in his veins

"don't make a sound or..." one of them said while the other pressed the sharp knife harder on the student's neck, the man slowly took away his hand

"we finally managed to get you alone" the man with the knife said

"you and your parents have been ignoring our messages and it's making us very angry"

"wh-why a-are you do-doing thi-this? We ne-never did anything wr-wrong" Gulf asked with a frightened cracked voice, the pressure and the fear was getting the better of him

"you and your damn father having the actress all to yourselves and living with her is what you did wrong" the evil glares made Gulf even more scared, even though he was breathing he still felt that air was stuck in his throat where the knife was pressing, his heart was beating so loudly as if it was screaming for help instead of his voice that he had to suppress to survive, his mind was already drawing the worst case scenario, he will be stabbed to death in a dirty underground restroom of an unknown bar

"she wants a family to leave with for the rest of her life and she fell in love with my father, we only want a peaceful life, she's still an actress working to keep impressing her fans and everyone who watches her" Gulf uttered with the same voice from earlier while trying to calm himself and think of a way to save himself, even though he hates bodyguard he actually wished that Mew would come save him at that time

"don't get smart with us you shitty brat!" the man with the knife got angry as he moved his weapon to the side right under the jaw as Gulf felt gulped hardly trying to back away but it was not use since there was a cold thick wall he was already stuck to

"this will be our last warning, tell your father to divorce Anong and set her free or next time we will kill you... all of you" Gulf who was frozen like a statue couldn't do anything but listen to their harsh words filled with hatred and real murder intention, he suddenly pulled by the collar and was thrown down, after being glared at one last time, the two men hid the weapon, unlocked the door and went out.

Gulf stood washing himself quivering, he stood calming down already worried about his parents, things were getting more and more complicated, he wished that he was strong enough to beat the two of them and send them to the police but he knows it's no use wishing smth like that now and he needs to warn his family

~~~Flash Back~~~

"I think both of my parents must secretly move to some other unknown place, it will safer for them, I also will go rent a small apartment near my university" he was holding himself trying to stop his shuddering

"so stupid, do you think separating from your parents will keep them safe?"

"it's the only way I can think of, I'm sure it was my fault that he found out our new address since one of them is in the university, you too need to leave P' Mew or you will surely get targeted by them and may even get hurt"

"what about you?"

"I will be fine, I be on guard and never go to any place alone, I will manage"

"you're really an idiot, stop being so altruistic only thinking about others... anyway, I accepted to protect you and I will do my job to the end, next time we go everywhere together, even to the restroom, I will talk with your parents and tries to find a solution with them, you just focus on your studies and leave those matters to adults"

"stop treating me like a child! And it's my parents we are talking about, I don't want to lose a precious person again!" getting annoyed, I grabbed him by the collar startling him

"listen him you dumb boy, things won't be solved if you try to make yourself a bait just to save your parents, after they get rid of you they will go after them so shut your mouth and do what I say" he looked shocked

"ho-how did yo-" I released him and started the car

"I can see through any lie, I could tell that you were actually trying to be the bait and catch the criminals attention while your parents go hide somewhere else" he looked down as I started driving, I can't believe I'm stuck to this stupid brat, I really shouldn't have come back

"you may get hurt"

"I'm not a weakling like you besides you hate bodyguards right? So stop being considerate of me and focus on yourself"

"even if I hate bodyguards, you are still a human and the son of my father's friend"

"I chose to be here, stop being annoying"

"what? Annoying?! Even though I was trying to care about you?!" he got angry yelling

"I don't need your care" I could feel his glares then he looked away as silence engulfed the place, I need to quickly deal with this matter and get back to London.

After discussing everything with his parents, they actually decided to go live somewhere far from their current house and got an apartment for Gulf close to the university and in a highly secured building, they were actually trying to keep the group focusing on them instead of their son which I think it's really stupid, they are a family, they need to stay together, I even couldn't stay quiet and tried to argue with the father when we were alone after dinner

"I already lost my wife, I can't bear to see my son get hurt and lose him too, if separating will keep him safe I will gladly do it, the men said that they hated how Anong is living with both of us and now since Gulf will be living away from her, they may only focus on me, I'm sorry for burdening you with all of this Mew, you are in danger too because of us but please keep Gulf safe, I leave him in your care" hearing that made me unable to argue, besides, what did he mean by that he lost his wife? Does that mean that Anong is not Gulf's real mother? Many questions keeps pilling inside me but I keep pushing them aside

"I promise I will sir, he will never be out of sight" the father sadly yet tenderly smiled, on the weekend, everyone moved to their new houses and of course I was stuck to that brat sharing a two bedrooms apartment, I can't believe I'm going to live alone with him from now on, this is really irritating.

💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗

From now on they will be living alone together

Don't worry, Mew won't be irritated for a long time ;)
