Gun was stunned at Off's confession. He doesn't know how to react or what to say. He was just there, staring at Off's face, gaping.
"What do you mean? ", he asked after recovering from the shock. He doesn't want to jump into conclusions.
"Maybe P'Off meant like as a person? Or as a friend?",he reasoned to himself.
"I- I don't know.. I'm not sure either.", the handsome tall guy replied, as confused as him.
Gun sighed in relief, smiling.
"Phews! You had me worried.", he said, holding his chest as if a huge burden has been lifted off it.
"Well.. What do you think?", Off asked, looking demented.
The cutie guy chuckled, amused at Off's expression.
"Hey! Stop laughing at me.", the charming man pacified Gun, pouting.
"Probably you just like me to be your friend. Cause we haven't been speaking properly ever. I mean, what else would you feel? We don't know each other that much.", he said, suppressing his amusement.
Off paused for a moment, pondering.
"The beaming face, the slow mo, and the racing heart beats... Is just a friendly feeling?", he asked out loud.
The little guy's chuckles turned into an awkward smile after hearing what Off said, averting his gaze. He turned his eyes out of the window.
"I-.. I don't know. There is no reason for you to feel anything for me more than friendship, right?", he questioned back at Off.
Off looked at Gun, pauses for a moment.
"Love doesn't need a reason. It just happens and when it happens, there's nothing we can do about it.", he uttered casually, more like reasoning to himself.
Gun instantly turned his gaze to Off who was staring at him all along. His heart starts beating erratically. His face burning hot. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to think of something to get out of this awkward scenario.
"Uhm.. Y-you might just be overwhelmed at our situation right now. Give it more time and think it through.", he reasoned, avoiding Off's mesmerizing gaze.
Off hangs his head, feeling disappointed at Gun's reaction. Well, it's understandable. It must be shocking for the young lad to hear all of these out of the blue, he isn't sure of himself too anyway. He let out a sigh then started the car again. Dead silence followed after. Only the sound of the car's engine and the soft blow from the AC can be heard.
They ended up at a shopping center, strolling. The atmosphere between them loosens gradually as they brows through the shops and fashion boutiques. It turned out that both of them loves fashion. They have the same fashion sense so choosing matching outfits wasn't a problem. They put on clothes which they like and pretended as ramp models, doing cat walks in the boutiques and shops they went to, then laughs at their silliness. Some of the stall owners and managers, who recognized both of them and were also their fans, gave them huge discounts in support of OffGun.
"That was fun!", Gun exclaimed after a series of picture taking with the store staffs and some customers who were also their followers. Off's stomach rumbled followed by Gun's which send them both laughing again.
They went to the nearest restaurant and enjoyed the food they ordered. Off couldn't describe the contentment is feeling right now, spending an 'ordinary' day with someone he doesn't really need to take care of. For the past few years, he has been taking care of his step-brother New by his dad's request. Also in his 3-year relationship with Namtan, he is always the one who adjust for her. Not that he minds it. It's just sometimes it's tiring to be always responsible for someone all the time. And to add up to his burden, he has been struggling to survive in showbiz all these years. The pressure of keeping up with the new generation and to be recognized is tiresome too.
He never had a break as huge as now. He has been paired up with some actresses but he always end up left at the bottom whilst his partners career soared. He never had a huge fan base like he have now that he is with Gun."He is like my lucky charm. One touch from him and everything gets better.", he thought to himself.
"Maybe this is why I like him.", Off keeps thinking to himself.
Unconsciously staring at the little guy as he was taking his meal. Gun flicked his fingers at Off's face which made disrupted his thoughts.
"You trying to make a hole on my face?", Gun teased, poking the tip of Off's nose with a spoon. Off evaded it, smiling warmly.
"Heh. I- uhm.. The food is good.", he said, out of alibis. Gun just giggled.
They continued spending the day having fun together, feeling closer to each other.
