At the Store

"Hmm...so, this job came in handy." said Earth, clipping his hair at the locker.

"But Earth, why are you so calm?the other day, you made that really scary face when you said Mew had found out." asked Gulf, finished putting his apron on. "He found out, right? Wasn't he surprised?"

"Ah, that's because president personally came to see you."

"Huh? W-What? I didn't hear about this!" Gulf exclaimed, grabbing Earth's clothes.

"I thought even I didn't tell you, you'd figure sooner or later."

"Wha---! What's that supposed to mean?"

Earth slap Gulf's hand, "Geez! An over protective P' has taken a liking to you. It must be really tough for you, Gulf." Earth's parting remark before going out.

Mew?

At the Storage Room

"Ow! Ah, damn!" Gulf exclaimed when the box he's holding slip from his hands.

I didn't want to fight with him. I knew it in my head that from the start, doing this job was a bad idea.

But that time Mew strangely didn't seem interested at all.

Rather than being scolded, I couldn't stand that so much more. The way that he spoke to me as a president.

Even in such a situation, that there's special pain unique to Mew is...

Gulf glanced at the wall clock, and saw that it's already 6:30. Ah, I'm already so late.

"I should quit work..."

"You're going to quit?" said a voice behind him.

Gulf jump in surprise. "Uwah!" He turned around and saw that the voice belong to Kao. "P' Kao."

"What a waste when you've finally gotten used to hang the flat car. Is the pay not enough?"

"Uh, that's not it. It's...actually, our school forbids part-time jobs, and Me---the student council president found out."

"Student Council President? Hmm. Aah! Could it be the president is going to tell the teachers? Or did he already do it?"

"No! He wouldn't do that! In fact, Mew always covers for me!" Gulf lowered his eyes, "Sometimes he's even more protective of me than my brother at home."

I know he's got a poker face, is moody, and isn't interested in anything. But the aloof Mew specially came to my workplace to see me. What kind of face did he make..."That's why it's my fault."

Kao looked at Gulf seriously and tousle his head, then smile at him. "You're quite honest."

"Wah!"

"By the way, N'Gulf, how much of a protective person is he?" Kao asked when he saw someone at the door.

"Huh?" Gulf asked confused.

Why so suddenly?

"Uuhmm? How much you say..?"

"Yeah, for example coming to your workplace to come see you."

"Why do you know about this?! Eh?! Did I accidentally let it slip? No, it couldn't have...why?"

"Well, how should I say...the person in question is staring at me with a dreadful look!" Kao said, his hand still on Gulf's head. "Right behind you."

Gulf slowly turned his head around.

"Sorry for being so over protective." Mew said, swatting Kao's hand.

"Me---!"

"Let me tell you I wasn't here the whole time, I just arrived."

"Huh? Ah...uhm...I see."

Hm? Is he mad that I said he's over protective?! He's in a bad mood. Or did I misunderstand.

"Oh. You know I'm already done for today."

"Your things? Where do you change?"

"Eh? O-over there."

Mew grab Gulf's hand and pull him to follow him.

"Wah! Mew?! Wait a second!"

Mew and Gulf left Kao behind, they walked towards the locker. Mew still holding Gulf's hand as Gulf follow him.

"Hey, is there no meeting? You said you were busy."

"I'll take care of it."

"I-I see."

Mew didn't say anything.

"Say, why did you come today, too? Are you mad at me?"

Gulf's heart thump waiting for Mew's answer. After a moment of silence, Mew said, "Because I'm over protective, right?"

Gulf's face flushed, and he mumbled, "I-I see."
