Gulf's POV

"Gulf, until you're fully recovered, I will take care of you...", my jaws drops.

"N-no need, phi... I can take care of myself..."

"No, you can't. It's my duty after all. How can I be so cruel letting my fiancee alone when he is sick? I've also promised to uncle, remember? So, move to my place. It's more convenient there because I've two bedrooms. Now, let's pack your stuffs!", my eyes widen.

"Why? Any objection? Or, you want me to send you to your family's house?", I immediately shakes my head.

"Good boy!", he pats my head.

My heart is pounding like crazy. But, hold on... I shake my head. It's not the time for your fluttering heart. Shit! What should I do if that dark power is still there? I also can't reject him. I pout. Hmmm... I maybe should accept my destiny. No matter how hard I try, I can't avoid my own destiny. Remember what The Monk taught you last night. I take a deep breath. Yes, Gulf! You can do this!

P'Mew helps me packing my stuffs. The more I look at him, I realize how my feeling getting bigger for him. After I like him more and more, I don't know what I need to do. I want to know his feeling towards me, yet I'm afraid if I'll only get hurt at the end. Is it what people said with 'When you fall in love, you must be ready to get hurt'?

"Gulf, are you okay? Should we go to hospital?", he checks my temperature.

I gulp and shake my head. He is too close. And, he is also too caring. Aow, my poor heart... Seeing him this closer to me only makes me believe what I want to believe. No! I can't be like this. I can't give myself high hope or else I'll just end up crying alone in my room.

We go to his place along with First and P'Ja. Once the lift's door opens, I gulp. I become sweaty. However, when we come out from lift, I can't feel that dark power from P'Mew's place. I sigh in relief. But, I can't be too sure until I see the whole place.

 But, I can't be too sure until I see the whole place

"Let's come in, Gulf!", he suddenly holds my hand.

It turns out he has opened the door when I lost in my thought. He leads me inside. My face is burning. I'm really shy. I'm sure it's fully red now. I can't even look around. I only focus on our hands. Geez... I really melted. How can I not when my crush brings me to stay at his home and holds my hand like this?

"Friend... Friend... You're too obvious, friend...", my eyes widen as he whispers.

"Shut up, friend...", I glare at him.

"Gulf, your room is in the left side and my room is across yours. Next to your room is my office. It's also my mini library. And, there is a storage room next to my room. If you need or want something, you can use anything in this house. Make yourself comfortable, okay?"

"Thank you, phi!"

"For today, you have to take a rest, okay?"

"But, my class?", he chuckles.
