Gulf's POV
I had been awake since 7 am, but I was lying down, snuggling with P'Mew who was still deeply asleep. Thinking back about last night, I could not believe that P'Mew had mustered up his courage to take that leap, for the both of us. Truthfully, I was surprised by his actions last night, for everything that he had arranged last night. Caressing his face, I took my time to appreciate the view that was right in front of me. A view that I knew I would never be tired of, even if I had to see it every single day.
I left the bed to head to the balcony, to answer my phone which had rang.
"Morning son.. I hope I am not disturbing your time with Mew. Are you even awake?" My mother asked.
"Good morning, mum! I am the only one who is currently awake now. Your other son is still fast asleep." I answered.
"It must be you who influenced him to wake up late now.. Anyway, both your dad and I hope that the both of you are having fun there.. Is there anything that you want to share with me?" I heard a teasing tone from my mother's voice. She knew about it.
"Judging from your tone... P'Mew must have told you about it right?" I asked.
"We both know about it when he told us about his plan to bring you to Hua Hin. But you know son, we are happy for the both of you. You have also changed so much ever since you knew him." My mother voiced out.
"Thank you mum and dad, for giving us your blessings." I said, tearing up towards the end. I was touched that my parents were supporting both P'Mew and I, approving our relationship together.
"Don't you dare to cry, Kanawut. Okay, I shall not disturb you further. Enjoy your time with your boyfriend now. See you when you are home." My mother replied before hanging up the call.
After putting down my phone, I stared at the peaceful beach ahead of me. Everything seemed to be in place now, and I am feeling at ease. I was startled when I felt a pair of hands wrapping me from the back. P'Mew then placed his chin on my shoulder, and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I was sure that my face went red after that.
"Why are you here? I thought that I could wake up next to you." P'Mew said sleepily.
"I have been awake since 2 hours ago, P. What are we doing today?" I asked.
"Mmmm.. Let it be a surprise for you. Let's go and shower." He answered, pulling me to the bathroom.
"Wait! We? Shower? Together?" I asked carefully. I couldn't help but to blush after saying that.
P'Mew stopped in his track. He turned around and gave me a smirk.
"What is in your mind, Nong? I meant to say, you go and take a shower, while I will prepare call someone to send our breakfast in this room." P'Mew teased.
I immediately took my towel and ran to the bathroom. My heart was beating fast.
"Gulf Kanawut, get your head out of the gutter!" I scolded myself after that.
At Hua Hin Hills Vineyard
Knowing how much I love the nature and the mountains, P'Mew had brought me over to Hua Hin Hills Vineyard, spending our day at the vineyard, with greenery all around us. We took the opportunity to have a tour around the vineyard, on the elephant's back, and even tried to do our own wine label activity. Being a wine-lover himself, P'Mew even tried grape-crushing, taking a chance to be involved in the wine-making. We took many pictures of us doing the activities at the vineyard, to be kept as a memory.
After feeling exhausted, we took a break at the restaurant near the vineyard. We were both sharing our photos that we had taken of each other, when I had a question in mind. Looking at P'Mew, I was hesitating to ask him the question, fearing that I would upset him.
"I know that face.. What do you want to ask me, Yai Nong?" He said, removing his sunglasses.
I looked up at him in surprise. Was my expression that easy to read?
"Can I.. Can I post a photo of us from this getaway on my Instagram?" I asked hesistantly.
"Why are you hesitating? You can always post whatever photo that you want, I don't mind."
"But of course, no revealing photos of yourself." He said playfully. I nodded my head, excited after hearing P'Mew's answer.
For the rest of the evening, we made a trip to the Night Market, to shop for some souvenirs. Even though the Night Market was crowded, no one had disrupted our time together. There were some people that had recognised us, but they would only call us out and wave at us, before walking away. After we felt that we had enough of the Night Market, we then made our way back to our room, to rest our exhausted bodies.
In The Room
We were watching a movie in the room, when P'Mew cleared his throat, before looking at me expectantly.
I looked over at him, with one of my eyebrows raised, waiting for him to speak.
"How do you want the public to know about us? I mean.. I don't mind the public to know, but I prefer only letting this relationship be known to the both of us and of course, our loved ones. But, if you want to tell the public about it, I am sure I can do with it." P'Mew said, looking into my eyes.
I turned my body to his direction, and held his two hands in my hand.
"No, I share the same sentiments as you. Let's keep our relationship unknown to the public. If they asked, we can just say that we are P-Nong that loves each other. We are not lying to them, because we indeed love each other. We can always post photos of each other, but only the both of us will know the meaning behind the captions. Let the public assume things on their own. We don't really have to tell them everything. It's up to them to say whatever that they want, but only we know the truth." I answered back seriously.
I had thought of this, ever since I made a decision to confess my feelings to P'Mew back then. It was true when I said that I shared the same sentiments as P'Mew. I personally felt that a relationship was only between the pair of lovers and their loved ones, and the public did not really have that much to say about a relationship that they barely knew of. Fans were indeed important to us, but I did not want the fans to be hurt by the public's comments towards our relationship, because the public might not always give positive comments. Bringing back myself to the man right in front of me, I squeezed his hand softly.
"No matter what, I will always be here with you. Now that we are lovers, you can't get rid of me easily, P. Let's not bring any of our problems to the public. If there is indeed anything that we are upset about, we will talk to each other. Importantly.." I paused for a moment.
"I promise to not hurt you. I promise to be the best boyfriend that you can ever have." I said softly.
I saw how P'Mew's eyes went teary, after hearing every single word that I had uttered. He slowly brought his face closer to mine, pressing his lips onto mine softly.
"I am so lucky to have you, my favourite Yai Nong" P'Mew whispered into my ear softly.
I giggled, kissing him again.
