GUN'S POV

It's been days since that night I opened up to Off everything... he also said I could hang out at his condo if I don't feel like staying at home. Tay also comes with us often... well, I got really busy with all the cafe stuff I was preparing, and they pretty much were just playing all day.


"Off why did you stopped showbiz? You were so famous" I asked him when I took a little break from the work stuff I was doing. It's just me and him here today because Tay has other work to do. 

"The reason why I wanted to do it left me... but let's save that story for another time" He said.


I gave him a small smile. He also has problems and demons to deal with. We all do, and we handle it differently, I guess... or I just really cry a lot. 


Off connected his phone to the bluetooth speaker, I often don't like him playing songs because he likes the pop ones that are loud and all... 


You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small


I was shocked when Off started singing... I never heard him sing before but it was soulful, he even chose to sing along with the version of the trolls movie, I was watching him sing... 


Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy


He looked at me as he sang those lines while he fidgeted with his phone. I gave him a small smile. I feel so at home with him, it's like everything in my life just got better... After he finished singing it suddenly switched to a party song.


"Do you often party Off?" I asked him

"No, I rarely do, I don't want to go out often, that is why I have everything here" He told me

"Do you... by any chance know a vacancy in this building?" I asked him


His condo is in the center of the city, it is easily accessible to any mode of transportation and it has great access to markets, malls and such. I won't have trouble living here...


"I think there are vacancies, you're planning to move?" He asked.

"Yeah I was thinking of moving so that I wouldn't feel like a lot more burden to grandma, plus, a reason for my sister to stop asking me when I'd have dinner with her and the parents" I told him.

"Why not go to the dinner? Settle it once and for all, if it doesn't go well then I'll be waiting for you outside. I gotchu" He said

"Why are you so nice to me? Last time I remembered I was pushing you away and giving you all the reason to hate me. You almost started over with the project because of me." I told him.

"You had your reasons, at some point I thought... such a bitch, but then, we're all just fighting battles we don't say aloud" He said which made me smile.


If only everyone is willing to understand how we struggle differently like Off...
