it's just the beginning

Mew exhaled loudly through his nose, leaning back to his chair and doing a quick stretch. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialled Zee's number.

"Hello?" Zee answered, the chewing of food is audible. "Come here." Mew sighed as he averted his eyes to the unopened files about their latest trade. Zee hummed in agreement before ending the call.

"What?!" Zee shouted as soon as he barged inside Mew's room without a knock. Mew glared at him and signalled Zee to sit on the chair in front of him.

"Can you investigate someone?"

"Who?" Zee questioned, arching a brow at his friend. Mew handed him a folder about the person that he wanted to investigated. Zee instantly snatched the folder out of Mew's hand and opening it as if it was a Christmas gift.

Zee let out a confused noise as he eye's Mew. "Gulf? Why do you want me to investigate your boy." Zee asked curiously as he awaits for Mew's answer.

"His dad is a mafia. Just to be extra careful, okay?" Mew said with a blank face. "Isn't this too much? I mean– yes, he is related to a mafia, but don't you trust him?" Zee remarks, eyes carefully scanning through the folder.

"I trust him but we can't just let this slide! Just investigate about his family's background and that's it." Mew said through gritted teeth, as he exhales sharply. Zee rolled his eyes before letting out a quiet hum and making his way to the door to leave Mew's office.

Mew picked up the extra copy of Gulf's file and studied it quietly as he examines the printed picture of the younger.

"Kanawut!" Gun yelled as soon as Gulf entered the lecture hall, carrying a box of donuts that Mew bought for Gulf and his friends. "Aw! You're so sweet! is that for us?" Prem exclaimed, eyeing the donuts hungrily.

"Mew bought it for us. Go feast on it." Gulf said as he passed the box to Earth. "Don't you have anything to tell us?" Gun questioned to Gulf while munching on his donut.

Gulf chuckled nervously, eyeing his friends one by one as he heaved a sigh. "W-what do you mean?" Gulf answered, trying his best to play dumb to his friends.

"Oh fuck off bitch! Tell us everything about Mew and when did everything star-"

"And when he took your virginity!" Earth shouts, catching some of his classmates' attention and giving Earth a weird look. Saint quickly slapped a hand on Earth's mouth to shut him up.

"Asshole." Gulf hissed at Earth while Gun and Prem were snickering at the side. "I just... I just met him somewhere across the cafe. Things happened- no need for details, and yeah basically everything was so fast-"

"So you just let him into your life just like that?" Gun shrieks, "Fuck off! that's how you also met, Jumpol!" Gulf snaps at Gun and continued taking a bite on his donut.

"Isn't it dangerous? You're dad is a mafia– same goes with Mew. What if they're rivals?" Saint blurted out, catching Gulf's attention. "Holy shit." Gulf mumbled.

"I didn't think this through!" Gulf whisper-shouts, clutching his hair tightly and giving it a few tugs. "Did you mention your Dad to Mew?" Prem asked. Gulf slowly nodded, mentally slapping and cursing himself.

"I bet he's investigating you and your family's background." Prem murmured softly as he strokes his hair and giving his scalp a massage.

"Okay, change topic! Let's go out today." Earth suggested while clasping his hands together. "I can't. Mew's picking me up." Gulf quickly says. "Isn't that too dangerous?" Gun asked, standing up to pick up the pen that rolled down to the floor.
