It was Monday and everything went well with Gulf's father for now. He didn't yell or said stupid things to his son and accepted him to continue studying with the condition of taking Gulf's money. He was still toxic to do so but what could Gulf do more?
He got ready for school. He was also going to start his work today. He put extra effort to look clean and motivated. Gulf got out of the home and while he was walking to school Mild came behind his back and smacked his head so hard that Gulf stumbled for few steps. Mild shouted "What the hell did happen for your mom to call me!?" Only then Gulf realised he still didn't explain to him yet, so he couldn't get angry even though his head hurt. "I'm sorry, i really am. I will tell you everything while we walk to the school." and he started to explain everything.
Their journey to school went mostly Mild couldn't keep his mouth and shouting to Gulf. "How on earth can you date our professor!? That quick??? What!?" Gulf quickly closed his friend's mouth because they were getting close to the school. "I don't know Mild. Everything feels right when I am with him. I didn't want to waste time. I know that it's dangerous but only if you can shut your mouth, everything will be okay." He prayed in his head to not get caught to anybody.
Mild dropped his jaw and couldn't close it until they get inside of the building. Classes went boring and after the last lesson Gulf packed his bag and started to run to his part time job. He was lucky to not be late. A women named Anne welcomed him to the office. She told what he has to do and duties without missing a spot. She looked firm but she was actually kind. She said "I hope you can adjust yourself to here quickly without a problem." as she stretched her hand to Gulf. Gulf took her hand and said "Thanks a lot for the opportunity again." and went to his tiny desk behind the window.
Mew's eyes looked for Gulf all day long at the halls but he couldn't get a glimpse of him. He thought to himself that he must be very busy and decided to give him some time because he knew it was Gulf's first day at his job.
Mew went to the dean's office. His shadow's name was Jack. Jack was his father's assistant before he died. Mew's father was the president of the council of higher education. He trained his son to be a dean and take after his job, but Mew's dreams were not just as same as his. He choose to stay as a professor and attend to lessons, but he couldn't ignore his father's bequest. He found the solution to stay at the back when his father's assistant displayed as the real dean but them splitting the work.
"It's nice to see you here son." Jack said as he opened his arms for a hug. "It's also nice to see you face to face." as he hugged. They were like a family. After all shadowing for such a high title without having ego war wasn't normal people can do.
"I searched for the boy you told me about and you were right. I could find evidence for 5 teachers for bribery and that is already a lot Mew. He could have hires someone else to do his assignmets for some because the notes weren't corrupt in some of his works. We can't make a proof out of that. But are you sure you want to sue all of them? There are some good professors in the incident."
"Jack if they were good enough they wouldn't be taking bribes. I am pretty sure to sue and fire them all. I don't want a corrupt school. Did you find any background information about Kao's family like i asked." Mew could still see the hesitation in Jack's eyes about the lawsuit. But he was determined to clean this mess. It's true that his lover being bullied by that douche for years was the reason for these actions but it wasn't just about Gulf anymore.
Jack pulled out a file from his drawer and handed to Mew as he said "Here it is, his father is a MP." Mew looked at Jack's eyes and said "Makes sense. But he won't be able to fight me back." He looked at the file briefly and then put it on his bag. He got up and shook Jack's hand "Don't worry, we can handle this and it'll benefit more to our school than you think." Jack shook his hand back and said "I hope so."
Mew left the office to go to the parking lot. He got into his car and drive until the exit of the university. He was going to wait for Gulf there.
Gulf got out of the office at 19:00. Gulf never imagined it to be that tiring. He walked slowly to the exit because he wasn't feeling well but then his eyes saw the familiar car. He walked towards the car and saw Mew inside smiling to him as he reached out and opened the door. "What are you doing what if someone sees us?" said Gulf as he was getting into the car and trying to hide his face with his bag. Mew laughed and calmly said "It's okay everybody's gone. Let's go to eat." then he started the car.
Now they were in front of Mew's house. Gulf didn't expect to be here. He thought they would go to a restaurant or something. They went inside and as soon as the door closed Mew returned to Gulf and hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much." he said. Gulf got out of the shock quickly and hugged back to his love. "I missed you too" Mew pulled himself out of the hug and put a small kiss on Gulf's soft lips.
They ate dinner as Gulf told about his day since he got some fuel to his body. Mew also joined him but he couldn't reveal the secret that he was the real dean yet. He was not ready and didn't know how Gulf would react. They were now drinking wine and chatting about the embarrassing moments in their life as they were laughing until their stomachs hurt. They were more than happy in each other's company.
Mew got out of his seat and back hugged Gulf. He leaned for Gulf's ear and said. "Why don't you call home and say that you will stay at a friend tonight?"
