Mew's POV:

Even now, I still can't believe everything that's happened. The person I admired from afar is now mine. Time has flown by since we became a couple. Now, believe it or not, we're in our second year together. We've had many ups and downs, especially with his temper. He's quick to get angry and doesn't back down easily. Sometimes I'm surprised by the sides of his personality he shows me, but this doesn't stop me from staying with him. Over the years, we've faced many challenges together. He's the kind of person who will tell you everything he's thinking—he hides nothing. Meanwhile, I'm the opposite; I try to solve things on my own as much as I can, which often leads to arguments between us. At first, it was hard to adjust, but day by day, we managed to work it out.

We're now in our third year of college. Our relationship is known by everyone, even my parents. He actually went to meet them on his own to ask for their blessing, which amazed me. First, because I'm not out to my family about my true identity. Second, I'm afraid of my parents, fearing they might not accept me and might even disown me. We're well-off and have a reputation to uphold, so I was hesitant to risk damaging their image. But Gulf, being Gulf, managed to do the impossible. Surprisingly, my family, especially my mom, likes him, probably because they have similar energy. I'm a quiet person, which I got from my dad, while my mom is the opposite. It's just like how Gulf and I are. My boyfriend says I'm nonchalant, while he's the overly dramatic one.


And despite our differences, we somehow balance each other out. Gulf has taught me how to open up and express my feelings more, while I try to help him manage his temper and see things more calmly. Being with him has shown me new sides of myself that I didn't know existed. Even though we argue sometimes, those moments just make us stronger and help us understand each other better.

Through all the ups and downs, I've come to realize how lucky I am to have him by my side. He's not just my boyfriend; he's my best friend, my partner, my everything. Looking back, I'm amazed at how far we've come together, and I can't wait to see where the future takes us.


"Boo, I won't be able to join you for lunch, so take this." I looked at the lunch box he handed me. I'd almost forgotten that we were now living in the same condo. My dad gave it to me, and Gulf and I had only been together a few weeks when we moved in here. And believe it or not, even after two years of living together, we still haven't crossed certain lines—you know what I mean. Even though Gulf can be wild when he talks and a tiger around other people, he turns into a kitten with me. He told me he's not ready yet, and I respect that. So, our setup is just kissing and sometimes pleasuring each other. That's as far as we go.


And despite this, our relationship feels complete. Gulf's honesty about his boundaries has helped me appreciate the deeper side of what we share, beyond just physical connection. We've built a foundation of trust and understanding, which feels so much more meaningful. Knowing he feels comfortable enough to be vulnerable around me, to let down his walls and show that softer side—it makes me realize just how lucky I am to be with him.


"Is this my last meal or something? Why is there so much?" I laughed while looking at all the food I was taking with me. He pouted.

"I know you can finish all that, stop pretending. I know you're going to try to save up again and skip meals. I told you, I'll help you with the expenses here, but you wouldn't listen. What am I here for, decoration?" There he goes again, with his drama.

i chuckles "Look, it's not like that. I don't want you stressing over expenses, especially with your allowance being what it is. Besides, my family gives me more than I need. I could probably live off this allowance and support you too. Plus, I like to save money."
