11- Jealousy?

Jeff followed after a moment. Now Bib totally shut his mouth. There's no way he can talk back.

Others are enjoying their feast. Bib is already with Dean. Jeff joined.

His eyes are staring at Bib. Dean serves Bib food.

"P'Bib.. have some shrimp.." Gia, the coworker, asked him.

"No no.. Bib is allergic to shrimp. Here eat this." As Dean exclaimed he put some fish on Bib's plate with a smile.

"Ohoo! Why am I smelling something different in the air? Is it... Love?... So P'Dean.. you know everything about P'Bib?"

"Certainly.. he loves boxing. His favorite color is black. Quite an introvert and shy. Most importantly a cat lover. I assume he's still single as he left no time to spare glance at other people." Dean wrapped his arm around Bib's shoulder.

"Yes! he's still single! Oii... A handsome person like P'Bib is not taken yet we failed to get him."

"No worries.. now..He's in good hands." Dean moves closer to Bib.

"AHHH!! We got a ship!!" Gia and a few others slightly screamed.

"Stop. Will you? Eat!" Bib didn't remove Dean's hand but simply put his statement. Didn't bother to explain his relationship with Dean to shut these curious people's mouths.

Dean also feed Bib with his chopsticks. Bib simple bite the fish. Gia even took photos of them.

While they're enjoying their food Jeff is struggling to control his anger which is increasing higher and higher.

Fine!! If he wants to ignore me then I can ignore him as well!!!

Though Jeff said this to himself he just couldn't ignore the fact that he's super jealous. His fist is ready to strum into Dean's face yet he can only grin his teeth.

Tomorrow they'll be heading back. So everyone's having a good time. Eating, drinking, dancing.

Bib joined the dance group because Dean dragged him holding hands. Jeff's eyes never left Bib. He's sipping his booze.

Dean's hand landed where it shouldn't. Bib's slim waist.

First feeding and now touching!! Bastard!! How dare he touch Bib so closely?!!

Jeff almost crushed the poor bottle griping between his palm then Bib left the group putting an excuse of being tired.

He's indeed tired after all day work. Dean followed him as well as Jeff.

Bib went back to his room.

Last night Jeff didn't dare to enter the room after that incident. The night passed outside the door.

Dean hugged Bib from behind as they collided on the bed together. Bib didn't push the other as they started talking in this position. Jeff was pipping through the crack of the door.

"Bib.. I really missed you dude."

"Hmm.. I know. But I'm sure you didn't miss me as much as you miss.. your.. ahem.."

"Oii... That's right! What can I do? He's been giving me a cold shoulder since we were kids. No matter how hard I try I can't make him love me! I fuckin' hate seeing him sleeping around with other dudes!!"

"Be brave to make a move."

"I don't want us to end up with a one night stand. I want him to love me like I do."

"I understand.. as far as I know him.. I'm not sure how to help you in this matter. He hates my guts."

"I know... But.."

"First stop running away. How can you make him fall if you stay in another country. I guess you should dominate him a little or else he won't stop."

"augh!! Why did I fall for him!!"

"Love happens... We can't control it."

"Hmm.. BTW you haven't told me if you got any girl or a handsome dude for yourself. Don't tell me that you're still a sweet virgin!!"

"Shut your mouth. Hugh!! Let's sleep. I'm tired."

"That means I'm right. BB.. how about I let you meet my friend? He got a crush on you since he saw your photo with me. What do you think?"

"I don't need Anyone.. I'm tired. You hear me?"

"Ok ok. Fine then Let me hug you dear cousin."

(Dean is Bib's cousin from Bib's mother's side. Dean & Bib's mother are siblings.)

"I'm not a bolster! Take this instead." Bib throws a pillow on his cousin's face as they laugh together.

Jeff standing outside didn't hear their conversation but saw them cuddling.

He suppressed his anger. Bib's right. He has no right to interfere between personal space.

He doesn't even know how to express the feeling he has for Bib.

Is he afraid to admit that he's in love? Yes he is. But Bib is brave enough to talk about his heart.

He knows he hurt the other badly without knowing. He needs a chance to clear things up but this Dean..

As Jeff's thinking about Dean he can only utter...

Damn third wheel!!!

Is it possible that Bib will fall for Dean?! No!! It can't happen?!! I need to talk with Bib. But.. what should I talk?! That I'm sorry for my words? Or he should stay away from Dean? How can I? I myself refused him. It's not like.. I didn't develop feelings for him. Yet I denied. I got betrayed once. I don't want that again.. but his silent-ignore treatment is killing me. I can't see him with someone else!! I just can't!!

Jeff's helpless for now. He resist himself from making a move as he doesn't want to make Bib more angry.

He needs to admit that he loves Bib. He can't run away from his feelings.
