Wonderful Days (MewGulf AU)

Chapter 2.1

Mew's POV

Sometimes I worked as a magazine cover. People can never ignore this look and this appearance. But whether it is all praise or criticism---it won't bother me at all.

"P'Mild, can I have a minute?" I said to Mild approaching him who is sitting on the bench.

Mild, "Thank you for the other time."

"This is my cellphone number and email. You can contact me if that guy comes to trouble again." I said giving him the piece of paper with my information in it.

Mild, "Eh? Are you his guardian? Listen Mew. Don't be so cruel. Isn't it better to dump him once and for all?"

'He knew.'

I didn't say anything and just listening to him.

Mild, "Isn't it about time for you to let him go? If you don't do that, Gulf will never be able to move on."

'Let him go?'
'Move on?'

What does he mean by 'move on?'

At Shooting Place.

"Good morning."

Manager, "Mew, the shooting today might start a bit later. You have any problem with that?"

"Why is that?"

Manager, "There was some miscommunication during the discussion."

'I have to pass one of the tests tomorrow. I should have brought my books over. Although it only needs to be memorized and shouldn't take that long. I don't want it to eat into my sleeping time....'

Later, still at the shooting place

"That boy...a newbie?" said P'Kong one of the staff when he notice a guy asking another staff from the open second floor.

Staff 1, "not too sure."

'Ah.'

"P'Kong, he is my..." I paused, not knowing how to introduced him.
'Nn..Friend..right?' I thought thinking hard.

Staff 2, "What is it? Someone you know?"

After thinking for a while, I settle for.."roommate."

We met in high school. I thought we were friends. He is very popular, yet he doesn't like women. I am the one he likes.

"Gulf." I called him to get his attention.

Gulf decends from the second floor, scowling at me. "Mew! Don't order people around!"

'With that kind of attitude, it's hard to tell that he likes me. Interesting..' I thought, smiling.
"My bad. You really helped. Thank you."

"No problem. Since I've got nothing to do anyway. Here." He said, giving me the book that I told him to deliver to me.

I chuckle knowing that he doesn't mind it, "Since you are free, why don't you stick around and take a look?

Gulf, "Hah? No. I'm not interested. I'm going back."

"Then why did you bring this with you?" Pulling out the magazine I covered before.

Gulf, "Gya!"

"You're really hopeless." I just chuckle, once again.

"Shaddup, Idiot! Mind your own business!" said Gulf, hissing at me like a cat.

Staff 2, "Mew, over here."

"Yes."

Gulf, "Urgh."

I left Gulf to change to the outfit that I am going to wear for the photoshoot.

"That's surprising. Mew has such friends." said P'Kong, laughing for no reasons...well atleast for me.

"Eh?"

Staff 2, giggling, "He's awesome to be able to call Mew an idiot."

"Ah. His mouth is really mean. 'Idiot', 'stupid', and 'go and die' are all his favorite lines. He even said I'm inhuman."

The staffs that just heard my story laugh out loud.

In my circle of friends, there isn't anyone who would treat me like that.
'Everyone is amazed by my appearance.'

"But he's actually an interesting guy." I said, smiling to myself.

I like to fool around with women. Once, he told me...

Past, High School

"You are definitely lacking in the quality of manhood! There will be a day when someone will come after you with a knife!" He said, pointing his finger at me angrily.

"I won't be so useless to let anyone do that. Stop pointing your finger at me." I refute.

Gulf, "No! I'm really worried about you!!"

Present

I smile to myself, remembering the past.

Staff 2, "Eh? Feeling good?"

"Nn..Somehow."

I stand to my position. And the cameraman position themselves to take a series of picture of me.

'Worrying' about a guy like me?
That's laughable.

I look at Gulf's direction and smile directly at him.
