Mew's POV

It's been five years since I've seen him. But these feelings never changed. When I first saw him he was sitting under a tree patting a kitten that was on his lap. From the uniform I knew he was from the same school as my cousin, Win.

I was returning from my tution class. He was looking all cute and adorable. The way he delicately rubbed the kitten's neck showed how kind and caring he was. Every week on Friday I always saw him under the same tree. Sometimes feeding the kitten, sometimes doing his school work and so on. But after one month I couldn't see him again. I tried to describe how he looks to Win and there I came to know his name. His name was Gulf Kanawut.

Gulf, such a pretty name for such a pretty person.

I even told Win to look after him even if it was from afar. I didn't know why but after seeing him taking care of that kitten made me feel something that I had an urge to protect him. He seemed so delicate and fragile at that time. But I never tried to see him or invade his privacy or scare him away. I always took information about him from Win. And it was like that for 3 years. And after that Win's parents decided to move to London and I lost my source of information about Gulf.

But I guess fate had another plan for us.

I was on my way to the university's hall when I saw him...... again. I couldn't believe my eyes. He enrolled in the same university as me. It was his first day of university and my first day of my 3rd year. He even asked me the direction of the hall and guided him. I was over the cloud for the whole day.

And then came the most anxious day, choosing your mentor. It's not like freshers could choose by themselves. It was a lottery kind of thing. And again fate did it's magic and Gulf got paired with me. Me as his mentor.

Everything was great. I was literally screaming inside my head whenever I had a tutorial session with him. But then I noticed the eyes Gulf was giving that Bright and it somehow pained me. Anyone could tell what Gulf was feeling for him. But that dumbass was too dense. It was great tho, he couldn't lay his hand on him.

And then the worst thing happened to Gulf. Bright confesses to him that he was in love with WJ Mild and that broke him. I saw him at his most vulnerable state. I have never wanted to experience that sight again ever. That was the most painful thing I've ever witnessed. I couldn't help him to get rid of those feelings and also I couldn't tell him to stop crying as it wrecked my heart. He had to cry out all his pain otherwise it'd depressed him and I wouldn't let that happen.


The day he met with Anna, it was my first time seeing him blushing. And I couldn't stop thinking about all the 'what if-s'. Did my words affect him that much? Maybe he also started to feel something!? Should I risk my friendship and confess? Nooo~ what if he rejects then I'd definitely lost him. It's better to stay friends than being avoided by him.

All thoughts were ghosting in my head that night.

As days passed I tried to cheer him up, to take him out for lunch and dinner. Spending my time with him, gaming with him.

Two weeks later it was exam week. And the whole university was filled with Einstein. Everyone has a book or notes in their hands. Huh! They never read the whole semester and are now trying to make it up in a week.

But still I shouldn't disturb him so I didn't msg him the whole week. And as the exam week was getting on its end I was getting restless. I couldn't wait to talk to him, to hear his sweet voice, to look at his honey brown eyes that shine so much when he's happy.

I missed him. Like so damn much!

It was after the exam ended Win told me he's coming home. I was excited. He has been away for almost a year. [Note: Win and Gulf both were in 1st year when Mew was in 3rd. After Win finished his school he moved abroad. So it's almost a year.] And when our group decided to go to the pub I told Win to tag along. I didn't inform them about Win coming with me but when I started to tell them Mild cut me off. It's ok though he knew about Win.

We were laughing and cracking jokes when I noticed Gulf was being quiet and drinking his beer while watching something or more like someone on the dance floor. When I followed his gaze I found it's Bright. Again. It kinda made me sad that Gulf was still affected by Bright. But when I looked at Gulf I saw him shake his head and roll his eyes in a mocking way, which almost made me laugh.

After a while the whole group went to dance but I stayed because I didn't want to dance in a crowd of sweaty bodies. Gulf looked already drunk. His tinted pink cheeks and his pouty lips look tempting and adorable at the same time. Okay I need to control myself. Deep breaths! Deep breaths!

He stood up but was about to fall when I caught him such a clumsy! I chuckled at him. But then I froze when he called me with the most cute endearment I have ever heard 'MewMew'. I mean he never called me anything other than 'Phi' what do you expect me to do!!? But he told me he wanted to dance so we went to the dance floor and my thoughts about not wanting to dance in the crowd of sweaty bodies flew out of the pub's door! I mean how could I possibly deny him? He looked so cutee I really wanna squeeze him.

I couldn't control my hands as if it had its own mind as it went to Gulf's waist and pulled him closer. I could feel his soft skin through his t-shirt. And he looked at me with sparkling eyes before frowning.

"P'Mew who was that who came here with you? You never told me you have friends outside the uni!!"

He asked.

"Oh! He's not a friend."

I could see his frown deepen and his lips formed in a pout.

"Are you jealous that I brought someone else with me?"

I really wanted to know if he was! It gave me hope that he could possibly have feelings for me. At least a little bit.

He blinked trying to reason out.

"Huh!! Why would I be jealous?" He said and pointed his finger at him cutely.

And then it looked like he was in deep thoughts. I didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe finding out who Win was? So I cut his thoughts...

"Don't think too much. He is my cousin. He's here for the semester break so I brought him here."

Then his lips formed an O shape, understandingly. Now I really wanted to kiss him but I didn't want our first kiss to be like that, while he's drunk. I want all our firsts to be memorable for us.

But then he leaned on my shoulder and I guess passed out. I just hold him tightly while hugging him close to my heart. It's not like I get to hug him this tight everyday! So I'm enjoying the warmth he's spreading in my heart.

"Gulf? Let's head home na?" I asked because I could sense he's tired.

"Hmmmm" he just hummed.

I tried to find Win and Mild to tell them I'm taking Gulf home. I found Mild dancing with Boat. He looked drunk as well. So I walked to them with Gulf sleeping soundly on my shoulder, so I held him by his waist.

"Hey Boat, Mild, I'm going home with Gulf. He already passed out. So I'm taking him with me." I informed them so they won't be worried.

I left my car and handed the keys to Win. He was not drunk so he'd be driving back home. I booked a cab for us to go to the dorm.

I was on my way to leave the club with Gulf in my arms when a person blocked my way.

"Hey what the fuck are you doing with My Gulf?"

The person asked.

He was the last person on the earth that I want to hear this shit from. Bright.
