After dinner, Mew went to his room as usual. There's nothing different happened much. Except for the fact  that his father introduced someone that will stay with them probably for a long time. His father said "for a while" but who knows how long that "for a while" will take. Well, Gulf looks like a shy and timid type so they will not clicked for sure. And his attitude, Ugh! Mew hate it so much. So Mew make up his mind that night. He will not talk to that boy and as long as Gulf will not interfere with his life then there's nothing to worry about. He's being kind enough to not complained to his father about him staying in their house that much.

---

One thing Mew love about staying at home is he's allowed to sleep as much as he want. He's glad that his father understand that he always wakes up early for school and this is the only time he can sleep this much.

10:47am. Great. Mew took his time to shower. He didn't plan anything today to be honest. After he showered, he directly went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. They have a cook but  breakfast was already served a while ago since his father always go out early and he didn't want the cook to cook for him alone since it was his choice to wake up late. He's not just that brat with that kind of attitude. Speaking of attitude, Mew remembered that boy from the dinner and he scoffed with annoyance. Where's that boy anyway? His father said to treat him well and obviously take care of him. Do he really have to do that though? That's kind of though job.

He didn't see Gulf on his way to the kitchen. Must be outside. So he went out to their garden to checked and what a surprise! Gulf is really there but what surprise him the most is his father, right there, talking to Gulf. They're standing in front of the roses. They looked so happy laughing sometimes. Right there, Mew confirmed that the boy isn't really mute. He look different from last night.

His father is the first one to noticed him.

"Mew! Come here." His father invited him.

"Hey dad, thought you already went to work." Mew walked towards them and stand beside his dad in front of Gulf.

"Mhmm. I just wanted to tour Gulf around the house since I know that you're going to wake up late today." His father said smiling at him.

"I'm still going to do it even if it's late dad." Nope. That's definitely a lie. He's not going to waste his precious time for this boy. Just seeing his face makes Mew cringed.

"Well, now that you're here, I think I'm going now. Help him around okay?" His father said making his way inside the house to probably call his driver to drive him to work.

Now, they're alone. He look at Gulf and there he goes again. Back to the look he has last night. He's looking down again as if looking at Mew will make him die or something.

"So you can talk. You didn't say anything last night so I thought you're mute or something."

...

Seriously. Mew is waiting for some answer but this boy looks like he's not going to say something at all. He's not even looking at Mew and Mew's patience is wearing thin by now. He really can't stand this attitude. Mew can't really stand this kind of people.

"Fuck. Look at me and fucking answer when I'm talking to you." Mew grab Gulf's arm that caused the boy to flinched.

"I'm sorry." Finally, he got an answer and Gulf look at him. But fuck, why does he look like he's going to cry?

"I'm sorry. Please let me go." Mew look at the arm he grabbed. Looked like he grabbed it hard so he quickly let go.

"Fuck. I hate this. I hate you." Mew quickly went inside and into his room to cool his head. Why does he feel sorry for Gulf? He is the one who's wrong here. Then he remember something. His father. His father and his request that he treat Gulf well. Fuck. He's fucked for sure.

He didn't see Gulf throughout the day. That's a good thing because he can't stand Gulf playing victim here. When he remember those eyes, that's making him guilty although he didn't do anything wrong. Forget that. What he Gould be doing now is his speech later at dinner when Gulf tell his father about what happened.

They are having a dinner peacefully. Actually it's not that peaceful.. it is nerve wrecking. Mew is just waiting for his father to scold him for what happened this morning. He's sure that Gulf already talked to his father about it. Judging from when Mew saw them at the garden, they seemed really close.

"Okay. Tell me what happened today Mew." His father asked. Okay. He's going to play this cool and innocent.

"What for? I'm sure he already told you what happened. You tell me dad. I want to hear what he said too." Mew said looking at Gulf. Cool. He's too pissed to be cool right now.

"I don't like your tone Mew. So, something happened? Gulf didn't tell me anything. And since you sound too angry right now, why don't you tell me," His father is now looking straight at him. Fuck. Gulf didn't say anything. Why Gulf didn't say anything. He just fucked himself right now.

"What? Oh.. It's just.. a game. I'm so angry because I lost to Gulf in a game. He didn't tell me he's too good at it." Mew change his mood right away and smile sheepishly to his father. He is just praying hard that his father wouldn't push this topic further.

"Oh really? What game is it?" His father asked curiously. He doesn't seem convince at all.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He's fucked. That's the only words Mew can think of right now.

"Football". Gulf said. Now both Mew's father and Mew are looking at him.

"Phi and I played football this morning." Gulf is looking at Mew's father.

"Oh okay. Seems like you're getting along well. That's good." Mew's father looked to the both of them smiling.

Then their eyes met. Gulf quickly look own and continue eating while Mew.. what the fuck just happened? It seem like his annoyance towards Gulf increase.

---

After dinner, they went to their room. For Mew, he just do his thing and went to the bed early. It doesn't mean he sleep right away though. Because he's annoyed and everything that had happened today pissed him off and that's because of one person, Gulf. The way he act towards his father with all that smile and the way he act around him like he's going to something bad at him, it annoys him. The way he look at him this morning, like he did something wrong to hurt him, it pissed him off. How Gulf saved him at dinner makes him angry for some reason. Just Gulf himself pissed him off. Okay. He need to do something about this.
