In The Dark : Summer Only We Know [MewGulf/BrightWin]

Chapter 21: Heal Me

Hi people!!!

I hope my last chapter was quite intriguing for you guys. Well, from today on, little by little, secrets from Mew's side will be uncovered. But fret not, there were still so many mysteries revolving around his family, and also side stories of Bright, Win, and Godt. 

So, just like the usual. Laid back, relax, grab a snack or whatsoever, and happy reading! Don't forget to leave comments or just say hi. I would love to hear from you. 

Love,

V.L.A

P.S: J.X said hi. He's busy with work nowadays but he promised he will be back once his part of writing 'steamy-steamy' things pop out! Haha!

"GULF KANAWUT!", Mew couldn't stop but shouted his name.

Mew was not in a better condition than Gulf. He was also in a state of shock. He never thought that Gulf would find his secret this way, the secret he has tried to cover for years. The room he tried to seal due to his past. A secret room that almost became history, until Gulf stepped his feet on it.

Gulf turned his face to look at Mew in horror. His lips trembled but he could still slowly approached Mew. Mew froze. Gulf put his hand on Mew's cheek as his eyes turned sad.

"I've finally found you... Day...", Gulf looked at Mew with sadness on his eyes, "Is that right, Mew Suppasit?"

Mew was standing there, frozen. He didn't do anything as Gulf put his hand on his cheek. He was just standing there, looking at him with empty eyes. Not long after, suddenly an intense pain attacking Mew's head. He grabbed his own hair like a madman as he staggered toward the large three-doors cabinet and forcefully opened it. With trembling hands, he reached for the sharpest object he could find and tried to harm himself. He took a small knife and pointed it to his hand, ready to make a scratch.

Gulf widened his eyes in shock and without thinking twice, he rushed beside Mew and held his arm to stop him. Mew rebelled and since there was no other way, Gulf decided to just hold the knife in his grasp, making his hand drip quite an amount of blood.

"Please... no... no... let me go... I need to do this...", Mew tried to push Gulf away, but Gulf tightened his fingers, making the knife sliced his hand even deeper.

"Mew... Mew... Psst... Psst... Psst...", Gulf tried to calm Mew down with his soothing voice as he put his other hand on the back of Mew's head and led him to bury his head on his shoulder. "Calm down, Mew... you're currently having a bad dream and now as I count down to one, your bad dream will slowly go away. Take a deep breath and tell yourself, this is just a bad dream... this is just a bad dream... five... four... three... two... one..."

Gradually, Mew began to calm down. His head slumped on Gulf's shoulders and he started to breathe regularly. Gulf let Mew rested his body on him as his other hand kept caressing Mew's head softly.

"Everything will be alright, Mew... everything will be alright..."

~*** +++++++@@+++++++ ***~

Mew blinked his eyes as he began to regain consciousness. His head was spinning, and his throat feels parched. He looked around and slowly realized, he was lying on the bed inside his secret chamber. He widened his eyes in surprise as he saw Gulf was sitting on the black velvet sofa near the bed, looking in his direction. Mew's heart almost stopped. So... it wasn't a dream. Gulf was here. He found out about his secret chamber.

"G-, Gulf...", Mew stuttered as he tried to stand up from the bed but his head did not allow him to do that and pushed him back to the bed. "Ouchh...", Mew writhed in pain.

Gulf immediately rushed to him and held his body, keeping him from falling down and crash on the bed frame. Slowly, he led Mew to lay back on the bed and sat beside him. Mew realized that Gulf hurt his hand, but he couldn't remember what has happened.

"Your hand...", Mew stared at Gulf's hand wrapped in a handkerchief with bloodstains on it. "Are you okay? Did I do that to you? Did I hurt you?"

"Nah, I accidentally hurt myself when I tried to open the door. It was just a small cut. Don't worry...", Gulf assured him as he shook his head slightly, "Do you feel better?"

"I'm not sure. My head is spinning and my throat feels so dry..."

"Sorry... actually I wanted to bring you out of here...", he paused for a moment before he smiled stupidly, "But I don't know how to open the door... well... I tried... but I failed", he showed his hand, "The living proof..."

Mew stared at him for some time before he finally burst into laughs. Gulf's brows furrowed.

"Was it supposed to be funny?", Gulf looked at Mew in confusion.

Mew shook his head as he tried to control his laugh, "It feels good...", he paused for a moment before he continued, "It feels like, my burdens just disappeared into thin air. It feels good to have a real laugh.. after a while..."

Gulf didn't say anything. He just kept staring at Mew. Mew understood as he sighed.

"I just never thought you will find my secret the hard way...", Mew wandered his eyes around the room and smiled, "The secret I tried to cover for years. The room which I tried to seal and almost became a history... until you stepped your foot on it..."

Gulf felt guilty, "It wasn't my intention actually... I was just trying to hide and accidentally pushed myself inside the door."

"This room was a history, proof of my horrible past. Are you afraid of me now?"

Gulf looked at Mew's eyes and smiled. He shook his head slightly.

"I'm a professional, remember?", Gulf tried to make a joke though his own heart was trembling hard.

"Maybe Godt was right.", Mew gulped, "It's time for me to tell you the truth, about who I am, about my condition... about myself..."

Gulf didn't budge. He just kept listening and staring at Mew.

"Gulf...", Mew called him.

"Huh?", Gulf answered.

"If I tell you everything, would you... listen and help me?"

Gulf was quiet as ever. He didn't know what to say or even what to think. His own mind was in chaos. His heart was broken once he realized Win was right, Day is Mew... there's no doubt now... and now, he was so afraid to hear them out directly from Mew's mouth. He really didn't want to hear that because slightly.. just slightly inside his heart, there was still this 0,01% chance that Day is Mew's secret brother who lives in a secret chamber inside this house.

"I...", Gulf stuttered.

Gulf stood up in an instance, trying to run away from this situation though he really didn't know how to run and where, Mew knew and he held Gulf's arm. Gulf turned his face to look at Mew with pleading eyes but Mew sighed...

"I have 4 other alter egos and the Day you know... is one of them...", Mew paused for a moment, staring deeply at Gulf's eyes before he continued, "Please help me... I need your help to heal me... I'll tell you everything, as long as you agree to help me..."

At that right moment, Gulf's heart sunk deep... very deep...
