The Classy Boss

Nine♡

" STOP!"
Saint could hear Mew's voice, which takes him by shock. Why's the man yelling suddenly? He turns to look at Mew. Who is looking at him as if he has stabbed that man. Mew is looking terrified and angry at the same time. But his eyes reflect something else. However, Mew finally speaks, swallowing his food hastily.

" The salad has nuts. Why are you taking it?"

Mew is looking right at him. He then realizes that he was about to take the salad from Chimon, which contains nuts and he is.. allergic to it. He instantly understood the situation and the cause behind Mew getting angry. Because that man has witnessed him getting a seizure. He feels silly to forget about himself and feels guilty for making that man worried. Worried? Is that guy worried for him? Why would he be? He gathers courage and replies in a soft voice,

" I'm... I'm sorry. I... forgot." Nervousness can be heard in Saint's voice.

Mew proceeds, " You shouldn't be that carefree. How can you be so careless? What if something happens to you? How will I- how-how will I take responsibility. You've just had a seizure a day ago!"

Mew Suppasit, his Boss, is scolding him. Saint could feel fear in his voice. What is the man fearing about? He did witness Saint getting a seizure the other day. But this seems to be different. Mew is scolding him just like his... mother. There is worry, fear, concern, warmth, and love in his voice. Just like his mother.

When he was young and used to be careless about something, his mother would scold him just like that. It has been a while that anyone has shown anything towards him for a long time. His sister as well doesn't stay with him. He lives alone for years. Thus, he is overwhelmed with everything he is hearing or witnessing at this moment. It seems to be unreal.

He has learned to hide his expression, his feelings in front of anyone. Even on the days he breaks out, he does it in solitude. He never cried in front of anyone, apart from his trusted sister and best friend. But he feels safe and warm whenever he is with Mew. he feels his eyes fill with tears. But he can't let it out. He tries hard to fight against his tears. Why does he feel so with Mew? Why can't he control his emotions in front of him just like he does with everyone else? He wonders.

His eyes are fixated on Mew. Who is also looking at him. His eyes are filled with concern. However, He looks down and tries to shake off his feelings and finally utters in a small voice,

" I'm sorry for making you... worried. I just... forget it sometimes. I didn't notice. I promise I will be more careful in the future." His eyes still looking down. He is afraid that someone might see the tears in his eyes. He sighs out and presses his lips to form a little smile and slowly looks up at Mew. Mew seems to calm down a bit after hearing Saint reassuring him that he will be careful.

Mew sips down from his glass of water and nervously looks at Saint and says, " You can take mine."

Saint looks at Mew and raises his eyebrows confusedly and utters, " Huh?"

Mew explains, " You wanted to eat salad, take from mine. Here..." Mew scoops out some beet and carrot salad from his plate and puts it on Saint's plate. And then he utters, " Eat."

Saint simply nods and continues eating.

All this while Nanon and Chimon were looking at those two. As they continue eating, they both stare at each other for a while. Nanon got to know about his friend's feelings just a few hours ago. As for Chimon, he is still unaware of his best friend's feelings. Chimon has never seen Saint so emotional in public. Even though Saint tried his best to hide his feelings and tears, Chimon could easily figure that out. They know each other for long enough to understand anything and everything about each other without even saying a word. He wonders for a while and shakes his head and then continues eating.
