Gulf stared him behind the front door of the main building. He couldn't shut Mew because technically, he was the one who wanted this.

"Come on!!! Risee and shinee Gulff~!!", Mew pulled Gulf out from the building. He dragged Gulf to the park near their house.

"Let's go. A short jog to increase your stamina level", He started with a basic warm up. Gulf copied every steps he made from behind, since he never works out, so he doesn't know what to start with.

Mew started with a slow pace jogging, since Gulf never work out before. He was scared if he starts with a fast pace, Gulf couldn't catch up and he might faint. He will be in a big trouble then.

His breathing is still in control, while Gulf was already panting hard. After 30 minutes of jog, Gulf began stopping along the way. If Gulf stopped, Mew will follow him and stop too. He waited Gulf to calm his breathing, then they both will continue their jog.

After the jog, Gulf rested on a bench. A cold touch on his face surprised him. "Want a drink?", Mew gave him a bottle of mineral water. "Are you ok. It's only 3km", Mew teased him as usual.

"Shut up", he chugged nearly half bottle of the water.

Mew grabbed the water bottle from Gulf, "YOU can't chug water down immediately after a jog. You might vomit, Gulf", Mew was stern with his words.

Gulf was shocked. He apologised for it.

Mew gave him a comforting smile, "hey.. it's ok.. I'm just.. worried ok?", Mew patted him on his shoulder. "Come on another training", he get up from the bench. "We will do push ups, plank and squat".

"W—what?? What the hell is that?", despite the complaints, he still followed Mew.

"I barely can walk", Gulf held onto the handrails of the stairs while walking downstairs. Mew who was outside, waiting for Gulf shouted for Gulf to hurry up.

"Hurry UPP!! You gonna be late for school"

"Shut up! My legs is shaking after the squats!", Gulf shouted back with a bonus curse word coming from his mouth.

"Aww do you want me to carry you instead?".

Gulf ogled him and threw his bag to Mew, "carry this instead". Then, he walked inside the car.

Mew was dumbstruck by the sudden bag throwing. "Ah.. am I slowly turning to a butler or what now? Really can't give a face to this brat...".

And as usual, Mew will drive Gulf to school. He will wait at the school's compound until Gulf finishes his class. To kill some times, he will have a conversation with the janitor, or he will roam around the school. When he have things to settle, he asks for Gulf's permission to leave school for a while. During recess, he will accompany Gulf to eat with him at the canteen or school field. Nearly every teachers knew Mew. They're okay with it since they are aware with Gulf's situation. After Gulf finished his class, Mew will fetch him from his class's building and walk with him to the car. They will go back home together.

But— starting today. Things gonna be different. Mew will start a training for Gulf to be stronger. In order to be able to protect himself and to defeat the bullies.

Later in the evening...

"I want you to shout as loud as you can".

Gulf gulped. He never shouts for no reason before. He was taught to speak politely with manners since he was a kid. Shouting is far beyond what he has been taught. He tried shouting, but his voice couldn't pass his throat. He can easily shouts in his mind, but never in real life.
