11:00 Bright Bridge

If you've read this before, then... please go back to chapter10. Lol. It looks like I've published ch11 first before 10. So if you're seeing this again, it's because I've finally realized my mistake and have uploaded ch10. Took me 4 days to notice. Oh my brain.

[AN: Previous chapter: Mew found out that Kana is Gulf. He tried to approach him, but Gulf doesn't want to be associated with him anymore. Also, please read NOTE at the end of this chapter.]

The following week, Third and Singto pushed through with their out of town hike, leaving Mew to deal with his thoughts. For a few days now, they haven't seen hide nor hair of Bright and Gulf and they were convinced that the two were avoiding them. He kind of expected it, and it made approaching Gulf more difficult. His insomnia has taken a turn for the worst.

Just to have something to do, Mew visited his friend, Boom. Boom had put to good use his love for biking and had opened a small store for cycling needs.

"It's not much, but it's where I get my expenses." He told Mew.

They sat inside, surrounded by wheels hanging on the walls and a few motorcycle parts displayed on large shelves.

"What about you? You mention you work as a videographer. I thought your parents would want you to carry on with the management route?"

"They do. They're still trying to convince me, but I really don't fancy paperwork." Mew said.

His phone rang for the nth time this day. Someone from work keeps on calling him and he groaned as he slid it to hang up.

"Not going to answer?" Boom asked.

"No. That's our teammate. He's sort of the director and he's not happy we took a vacation." Mew said.

"For someone who's on a vacation, you don't look refreshed." Boom observed. "How come you're staying too much in Pattaya? There's plenty of things to do outside."

"Remember what we've talked about the other day? About Kana? I followed your suggestion and I found him."

"That quick?!"

"Quicker if I had not been so stupid." Mew heaved out. "And, turns out he's mad. I can't blame him, but I want to get this off my chest before I leave next week. He's avoiding me and I don't know where he lives."

"That sucks, man." Boom sympathized. "Have you tried finding him on social media?"

"I did. And his Facebook doesn't have new content since last year."

"Oh."

A few customers came in to check items. Boom entertained them for a while. He watched as Boom sweet-talked the customers into buying it, offering a free item so that they will be encouraged to get it.

How Mew wished he could just sweet-talk his way towards Gulf. He had thought of things to say to him that could be a reason for forgiveness and Singto had this wild idea of kidnapping Gulf just so Mew can apologize. But what good are ideas if he can't see the person he ought to say it to?

After the first couple completed their purchase, a new customer came in to inquire.

"Hi, I want to ask how long are the helmets going to be on sale?"
