Mew's POV

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

Two months has passed since I met Gulf, I never would have thought to be acquainted with someone from a mafia group, let it being friends with since I always had troubles with them, I do understand that his family is different but it still feel weird and unbelievable. I can't deny that I felt comfortable during our last dinner, maybe because he looks so young.

I got back on time today since there were no emergencies, after buying some veggies and few other thing I went straight home, it's been 4 days since that dinner, he said he will come visit again soon but I guess he is busy with work.

"hey doc" once I got out of the elevator on the 10th floor, there he was standing next to my door, I froze for a moment then sighed

"if you were coming, you should have messaged me first"

"I wanted to surprise you but I guess I failed" he said taking the grocery from me while I typed the password to my condo

"I w surprised to find you here yet I'm used to finding someone waiting for me here, my friends who wants to spend the night or my cousins" I explained as we got inside, he admired the place while I put the grocery in the kitchen

"you have a very nice place doctor"

"thank you, It took me time to find this condo although I still think it's big for just me"

"it won't when you get a lover, it's perfect" he said following me into my room

"maybe you're right, btw isn't David with you?" I asked and started changing into comfortable clothes while he looked at my book shelf

"no, I told him to drop me off here and to go have fun"

"won't be dangerous for you to go back alone later?" I asked watching him take an album and sitting on the near chair

"I will ride my car straight home besides, I don't want to keep David with me 24/7, he too should live his life and have fun and maybe even start dating or smth" I smiled, he is a kind boss, giving freedom to him men and thinking about them too, he will surely become a great leader

"lucky him you're his boss" he glanced up to me looking a bit confused

"what do you mean?"

"nothing, I'm going to cook dinner, do you have any thing you can't eat?" I asked while he kept watching the pictures in the album, it's the first he came here and he is acting like it's his brother's house following me to my bedroom and touching everything as he likes... I think he does think of me as a brother... whatever

"no, let me help you" he said returning the album to its place and standing up

"have you cooked before?"

"no never, so you should tell me what I have to do" I sighed going out, he helped me peeling and cutting the veggies, he is a quick learner and that helped me a lot

"wow, this is so tasty, you are a chef!" he said after the first bite

"I'm glad to know you like it, I just have been cooking since high school, I learned from different people, my mother, our house's maid, my two grandmothers, even my younger sister who excelled in making sweets taught me sometimes"

"it's nice to have a hobby"

"don't you have one?" he looked down shaking his head slightly

"I get bored quickly, whenever I learn something, I become good at it and so It become uninteresting to me" he explained

"then that thing is not your hobby" he looked to me confused

"not my hobby?"

"a hobby is something you enjoy doing and will keep doing it until you grow old, there are so many things that people do on their free time everyday because they love doing it, like my mother who loves coloring, she had thousand of coloring books from around the world, my father loves gardening, he wakes up early everyday to take care of his small garden he grew himself started it from scratch, my sister is a writer, she already has several novels  and even after getting married she kept writing, that's what a hobby mean, an activity you loves to do during your free time for pleasure and to relax forgetting about all other serious business" I explained while he listened with full concentration

"I see... then how come I still haven't find mine"

"it takes time, you should try man things until you find that one activity that makes you smile and forgot about your tiredness, I can recommend for you a few things to start with"

"thank you, I hope I can find it sooner"

"you will" I smirked faintly assuring him

"each time we meet, I learn a new thing, having you as my friend is amazing"

"you still have a lot to learn"

"maybe, btw I still couldn't find anything about your watch, I'm thinking of asking a professor from my university, didn't your great-grandfather tell you anything about it?"

"he did, he told me about the legend of the watch, more like the story of it according to him, he said that the owner owned a watch shop, he was an ordinary man with successful business since many loved his captivating designed watches, he even became famous between rich people and was asked to make a specific designed ones too, one day he was visited by a young woman who asked him to make one for her older brother who was getting married soon, the owner felt so attracted to the young princess, not only she was beautiful but she was cheerful and friendly, she also was attracted to the owner and started visiting him everyday using her brother's gift as an excuse, before long they both fell in love and started meeting outside secretly. But because of their different status both their families refused to let them get married so they eloped and started living in a secluded place"

"and they lived happily ever after" Gulf said surprising me

"I also said the exact same thing but unfortunately no, it seem they got found out by the girl's family and since she was from a very rich family they pressured the government and made the owner leave his home country wanting to separate them as much as they could, the owner had no choice but to travel around the world, along the way he made this watch that took him a year to finish it since he had no place no money and no materials to use, it said that it was purely made from everything he could find during his journey at last he carved that small letter that was meant for the woman he loved and never forgot her, soon after the owner died from some illness, the watch was put to sell and was bought by some rich man who gave it to his son, the son sold it to another person who sold to another one and the last one put it for sale in his shop, a man passing by loved the design and bought it for his sister"

"don't tell me" I smiled

"yes, it's the same woman from the beginning of the story, somehow, this watch found its way back the woman who immediately recognized it and held it so precious to her, it seem that girl refused to get married and before dying of old age she passed it to one of her brother's grandchildren and told him about its story and that's how it started being passed down"

"wow, what an amazing watch"

"it is said that whoever gets it will get into some troubles and may even endure some hardship like how the watch was created from scratch and jumped around from someone to someone but eventually the owner of the watch will meet his or her fated partner and they will live a life full of love and happiness together"

"did your great-grandfather believed in it?"

"he did, he said that when he got this watch he had to go to war and almost died and suffered a lot but also it's what brought him closer to his late wife and that he truly loved her and the rest of his life was full of real love and pure happiness, to be honest I believe that he was truly happy, even at his last breath he was smiling holding his wife's picture"

"what about you? Did you get in any troubles when you got it?"

"except the usual fights with the gangs no, nothing else, the only unusual thing that actually happened since I got it was becoming your friend, no offense but I never thought of becoming a mafia young boss's friend" I stated as he looked a bit surprised then he smiled

"then the legend must be true, it is troublesome becoming my friend"

"oh so you are a real troublemaker, I need to be careful" we giggled enjoying the rest of the dinner.

A few days later, I was treating a man while I heard someone yelling my name

"Doctor Mew Suppasit!!!" it was David's voice, I was behind the curtain of one of the bed so I glanced out to find the driver looking around and continued shouting my name

"David! I'm here so stop yelling" I said as he spotted me I got back and continued treating the man as he came closer not even apologizing so I did instead

"I came to get you, boss got hurt and is home waiting for you" I looked up to see his angry and concerned

"let me finish here and I will come with you"

"no let's leave now" I ignored him and looked to the nurse

"please go and get my emergency kit and include anesthetic and the portable heart monitor" she nodded and quickly left looking a bit frightened because of the grey eyed man who was restless and almost grapping me and drag me out. Once I arrived to Gulf's super big house

"you are doctor Mew right? Please hurry up and treat my son" his father said while his wife was tearing beside him, I was led up to his room, they were going to come in with me

"no, let me be alone with him, it's better that he stay relaxed away from everyone worried eyes" David glared but they all nodded

"hey high schooler" I got in and started wearing my gloves

"I'm no-not a high schooler" he caught in the middle

"since you still have the strength to say that means you're fine" his clothes were already taken off and was laying on bed, he had several deep injuries, the deepest one was by his left side, his vitals were a little weak due to blood lose and he looked a bit pale but nothing was life threatening, I treated all his wounds and checked him from head to toe

"aside from getting into fight, you also overworked yourself and suffer from lack of sleep, you need to stay in bed for a few days and relax away from work"

"there is some problems at work so I can't-"

"I'm don't care about your business life, all I care about is your health, ask anyone else to help you with work and you focus on recovering" I stopped him helping him wearing new clothes that were prepared

"thank you doctor, you kept your word and came"

"of course I did and now I want you to promise me to stay home at least for a week and rest well and especially don't walk much on your leg until the injuries heals" he smiled faintly

"I promise"

"good boy, if you felt any discomfort or pain make sure to contact me, anytime"

"I will" he said as he slowly fell asleep, after checking on him again I left to find his family waiting outside looking worried

"is my son alright?" his mother came closer her husband and David behind her

"don't worry, I treated all his wounds and he's fine but it seem he overworked himself and didn't sleep well for the past few days, he must stay home for a week at least and rest well away from work stress, that's it" I explained as they all looked relieved

"thank you doctor" the father said

"it's my duty, please call me if anything happens" I said giving him my business card, he smiled taking it, I glanced to the grey eyed man

"come on take me back to the hospital, my shift is not over yet" Gulf's parents looked surprised then smiled staring at me

"you are very straightforward, usually a doctor would take a cap back and won't dare to ask for a ride" the father said

"considering this area it's hard a catch a cap and it will take time to wait for one"

"you're right, thank you again doctor" I bowed and walked out following David.

Gulf's POV

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

Since the day I went to Mew's house I started to search for my hobby but I couldn't continue because of a big problem at work, some company published a new brand and it's similar to our new collection that was supposed to be launched at the beginning of next month, because of that my schedule became full, between meetings to update our brand, and investigation of how that company got the same one.

I didn't have the time to anything, not even sleeping going around from place to place, finally I found that one of the new recruits in the company, was actually working for that company and stole the information, of course I went to confront the boss of that company and it ended up in a fight.

I was taken straight home by David since it was closer who was so worried as well as my parents who were already back, they were about to call the current family doctor but I told David to go get Mew who went quickly.

"why this young doctor son? The family doctor will take care of you" my father said helping me take off my clothes while my mother was preparing new ones for me

"the current one will make of it a big deal and will bring medication and all but this one will take care of me quickly without any ruckus and you will see it yourself" I explained feeling a little pain from my side, not long after Mew did come and treated me, he even called me high schooler and behaved normally checking me and telling me to stay home.

When I woke up, it was the morning of the next day, my parents came in with breakfast and sat next to the bed watching me eat

"how are you feeling today son?" mother asked

"I slept so well so I'm feeling so much better and don't worry about my wounds they doesn't hurt at all, doctor Mew treated me well"

"I'm glad to know that, he is indeed a young and different doctor, he even told David to take him back to the hospital as if it's a normal thing to do"

"and that doctor is my friend, I even visited his place and cooked dinner for me, well I helped a little too" I said smiling remembering that night

"it seem you're happy having him as a friend"

"yes I am father"

"I hope for you to become close friends then"

"I'm working on that" both my parents smiled

"btw father about our new collection I-"

"don't think about work son, I will take care of the current problem and Jake and David are helping me too so just rest like doctor Mew said and enjoy a week of laziness and relaxation" mother said

"alright but please don't overwork yourself mom"

"look who's talking about overworking" we all giggled as I decided to take that chance and spend this week to find my hobby, Mew would send me a few things to try and would text me once a day to ask about my health, I also would look around about a similar language to the carvings of the watch that I can't seem to forget it especially after hearing the legend behind it, well it's not like I believe in it but I'm curious to why I can't forget it and I think this carving will reveal the truth, is that story is true then that owner must have put his everything in that watch, his life, his feelings and his soul.

⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕⏳💕

What do you think dear reader?

Is this legend worth believing in it or not?

I'm working on making you the letter with the weird carving

I will post it next chapter ^^
