“So what now? You won't be able to play in the Sports Fest with that injury.”

I sighed. Top's right and because I hurt my knee I need at least three days to one week of rest which also means I should restrain from training, worst: the Sports Fest. It's only a few days away. Aish, I can't really make it and even if I did, that'll just worsen my injury if I go back playing just like that.

A soccer player can't be called a soccer player if he lost his weapon in playing and I don't want that to happen. I was so excited for nothing, but that's okay we still have the Traditional Football Match which is a bigger event than the Sports Fest. I will definitely make sure that I get to participate in that match no matter what. But for now, I will just focus on recovering.

We are now at the soccer field though I am on bench, I still insisted to watch them train. They took a short water break and already returned to the field. I should be training with them now but look at me now, merely just watching them, doing nothing. I should've been extra careful, aish.

I was about to take a snack from my bag when I happened to pick up the box of animated band-aids P'Mew gave me, reminding me of what he said yesterday.

“You are not allowed to have even the slightest wound, not without me. I hate seeing you hurt.”

A smile automatically was formed in my lips when that scene flashed back in my memory. But I also felt guilty at the same time because I had him worried again. What's wrong with me? Is this my hidden talent? To make everyone around me worry about me? What a wonderful talent, Gulf!

I looked at my phone and it is exactly 11:45 AM. My instinct's telling me that any minute now, a tall and handsome guy will appear before me.

“Hey, Gulf.” said the tall and handsome guy as he gave me a smile that washes away my worries about the Sports Fest. I think I can't live without seeing his smile from this day on, it really does comfort me.

“I knew it.”

“Knew what?” this time, confusion took over his face.

“It's just that, I guessed it right that you'll be appearing at 11:45.”

“Silly. Of course I will, we'll be having lunch together, aren't we?”

“Yeah right.”

He helped me walk by being my human crutches, hooking my right arm to his left arm. We're kind of attracting everyone's attention but who cares, if P'Mew doesn't mind, I, too. Besides, I cannot blame them, we're like the Twin Tower because of our heights, not to mention the visuals like that of kpop groups, that really attracts everyone.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, he made sure that I was sitting in the most comfortable way first before he gets our food.

“Here, have some vegetables.” I was about to shoot my spoon in my mouth when I  was stopped midair. He topped a vegetable on my rice which left me no option but to eat it all. It actually went like that until we finished our food. I don't know if I have eaten two trays of food or not because he keeps feeding me his food.

“Gulf, I know it bothers you a lot that you couldn't join the team for the upcoming Sports Fest but don't be hard on yourself, okay? There will always be a next time. Your health must always comes first, remember that.”

I don't know why but his words felt like a sunshine in the morning that gives warmth to my body. It's the first time that someone gave me comforting words like that, comforting words that I yearned for for so long.

“T-thank you, P'Mew. That helps a lot.”   I smiled at him but then I was too shy to face him that I was already looking at the table, avoiding his eyes.

“Well, well, well. Look who do we have here?” I heard a familiar voice that made me lift my head as soon as I heard it. It's Pete.

“Oh my goodness. If I can remember well, this is my EX-FRIEND, who used to be my FRIEND and now he totally FORGOT about us and is now currently having lunch WITH...”

“P-P'Mew. H-He's P'Mew. P'Mew, this is Top and this Pete.” I am totally cornered so I just decided to introduce them to each other as I gave them a what-are-you-doing-stop-already-or-else look, but they seem invincible.

They sat beside us while their eyes are inspecting both of us as if we commited a crime. Aish.

“So, are you a couple now?”

Even though we are already finished eating, I still choked myself and P'Mew immediately gave me a glass of water. But as soon as he did that, I heard them say “Oooooohhhh”, as if they already concluded everything.

I didn't dare to say anything to deny their claim because if I do, I'm afraid it might upset P'Mew.

Seeing Top beside P'Mew suddenly reminds me of something.

“Top, do you remember that time when I overheard your conversation with Pete at the C.R before? You mentioned Mew, right? Is he the Mew you were talking about?”

“Uh. Mew?” Top looked at Pete, “Uh did we talk about someone named Mew?” I saw Pete shrugged, looking completely clueless.

“Did I misheard you two that time?”

“That's impossible, Gulf.” said P'Mew and looked at my two idiot friends smiling, “It's our first encounter, after all. Anyway, nice to meet you.” P'Mew added, and they exchange greetings to each others.

But I am 100% sure that they were talking about some guy named Mew, or is it just my imagination? They told me that maybe it was from one of my dreams, that it already predicted me, meeting P'Mew. I disagreed with them but hey, that is kinda amazing, dreams coming into reality. I might want to have a dream later this evening of me becoming the richest man alive. Hahaha. If that really came true, I will buy my friends brain. Just kidding.

We are all set to leave the cafeteria when I bumped into someone.

“Hey, it's you!” said the guy in front of me, looking so happy that at last, he had found me. The heck, where does he use his eyes for? Retard.

A little irritated, I replied,

“Me?” pointing to myself.

“The guy who left me that box of sweets yesterday. Was it yesterday, or the other day? I can't remember when was it but I do remember that it's you.”

This time, I can feel some strong-slash-bad aura coming from beside of me and when I turned to where it is coming from, I saw a tall guy with his arms crossed while glaring at this guy who talked nonsense to me. I smell trouble.

“Who are you to flirt with my boyfriend right in front of me?”
