At Gulf's Place

Gulf stretched his body as he yawn when he woke up.

"Morning, Gulf! This evening that's going to happen." said Tong excitedly, peeking at the door together with Boun. "Do you remember?"

"Uh...what was it again?" asked Gulf.

"G-Gulf!" Tong gasp, while Boun remain expressionless.

"How could you forget your brother's birthday." Tong being a drama king of their household covered his face while crying.

"Ah!"

"Calm down, P', it only slipped his mind." said Boun.

It's today.

"Uhm. Sorry, err...ah! P'Tong, happy bir..."

"Ssh!" Tong put his finger near Gulf's lips. "Gulf, save that for this evening. When you're done with your job come to the restaurant with N'Earth."

"Yes..."

At the School Rooftop

"Today?" Mew asked, standing while leaning on the wall, his arms crossed. Sitting beside him is Gulf.

"Yeah, and Earth is also coming." Gulf said as he invited Mew to his brother's birthday. "Ah, but if you're busy, you don't need to..."

Gulf couldn't continue when Mew cut him off. "I'm busy."

"Ah. I-I see. It's the student council? It must be tough." Gulf said, masking his disappointment in his voice.

"It is."

He didn't have to decline so quickly. For Mew, there's only work, but I...

Argh...I'm not a frickin' woman...! This sounds like I'm asking what's more important, me or work!

But...if we were lovers, I might have been able to say it.

"Gulf, besides that..."

"What that?" Gulf asked, looked up at Mew, a little bit annoyed.

"Working part-time is prohibited. Did you know?"

Huh?!

Gulf quickly stand up. "Tha---you knew, Mew?! How?!"

What. Ah. He's in a bad mood because of that?

"Did you hear it at the meeting?"

Mew didn't answer Gulf's question. "Anyway, quit it at once, got it?"

"Wait a second! It might create trouble if I just quit now!"

Wait...for a while now, it feels like I'm talking to the student council president and not Mew.

Gulf clench his fist tightly. "I've been thinking about something, too. Why are you giving out orders without even listening to my side of the story?!" He shouted.

"That...wasn't particularly my intention." Mew responded calmly.

"But that's exactly it! Just now you were totally speaking as the president!"

"And I told you, it's not like that!" Mew answered, starting to raise his voice as well. "Just listen to me."

Gulf couldn't accept this turn his back at Mew and started walking to the door. "I'm leaving! I'm late for work!"

"Wait, stop right there Gulf!"

"Hey, Mew. Huh?" called Win, who bump into Gulf at the door. "You again, why the heck do you look so dull? Keep your daftness to yourself, please."

"You wouldn't know, you idiot couple." Gulf mutter lowly, his body trembling as he pass Win, slamming the door.

An idiot said idiot couple. Win thought in shock and turn to look at Mew, feeling angry. "Hey, teach him some manners, will you? He'll listen if it's you, right?"

🌞

"He won't, especially now that..."

"What is it?"

Mew put his hands on his pockets and sigh, "I've really screwed up."

Remembering what Gulf just said. "I've been thinking about some things, too."

If that's so...it'd be fine if he talked to me, or is it something he cannot talk to me about but to others? If he told me his real intentions, neither his job, nor the violation of school regulations would be a problem.

I don't want him to smile at anyone other than me. Remembering the sight he saw last time, he feel annoyed.

If he knew that I was thinking about such things. What should I do? Maybe I scared him. But even if I did. I...

Win silently observe Mew, he saw how Mew tighten his grip into his pocket. He look at Mew and smirk. "Heh."

"What is it?" asked Mew, returning from his thoughts.

"Nothing. I don't know what's wrong, but seeing your composed face crumbling is amusing."

"Zip it." Mew warned Win. "By the way, what did you come here for?"

"Right! Mew, you got the list report of the suggestion box, didn't you? Show it to me, too!" Win exclaimed, remembering the reason for looking for Mew.
