Secretly Loving Him [MewGulf]

seven

Gulf turned to where the voice is coming from.

"Oh it's you again, Podd."

At this point, Gulf loses all his strength to argue with Podd. And he also realizes that it's just unfair to be rude to him when all he does is be friendly with him.

"Yes. It's me, 1000 baht." Podd raised his hand and smiled at Gulf.

"Can I ask you something?" Gulf stopped walking. When Podd realized it, he returned to be on the same spot as Gulf.

"Anything."

"Why do keep calling me 1000 baht?"

"Because you are 1000 baht." Podd saw Gulf sighing as he surrenders to this naughty guy.

"Fine, call me whatever you want." And Gulf continued walking. Podd followed him.

"Are you mad, 1000 baht?" 

Gulf stared at Podd for a second and shook his head. "No. I mean, I couldn't force you to call me by my name, right?" Podd being silly as ever, nodded. "Then, just call me where you are comfortable with." Gulf pulled up the corners of his lips and forced a smile.

"Cool." It was good news for Podd. He is so happy that Gulf has finally become friendly with him now.

"Yes! That's one step closer to you, 1000 baht," said Podd in his head. He was just about to call Gulf again but he heard a loud screaming. Both of them turned to the guy shouting Gulf's name. It was Mild.

"Why are you shouting, Mild? What happened?" asks Gulf when Mild finally reached them.

"P'Mew-- P'Mew is looking for you. He's waiting at the school gate."

"WHAT??? Why are you telling me this just now?

Uhm. Podd, I gotta go. P'Mew is waiting for me. And Mild, thanks for informing me. Byeeeee."

In a flash, Gulf is already gone. The books that Podd are holding even fell on the ground when he accidentally bumped into him. 

Mild, still panting, helped Podd pick up his things. Even Mild is so amazed that Gulf could run fast like that. Mew really has a different effect on Gulf and there is no doubt to it.

"Here, Podd." Mild just gave Podd his books when he noticed that there was a piece of napkin underneath the books. 

Good thing Podd saw it immediately and picked it up as fast as he could. 

"Thanks by the way, Mild. I gotta go now," said Podd as he excused himself.

"Huh? Why would Podd keep a used napkin?" Mild asked himself but then just shrugged it off thinking it was just rather trivial and also left.

"Phew. That was close." 

Podd smiled while checking the napkin that Gulf left on that ice cream parlor. He closes the notebook where he keeps the napkin and put it inside his bag. But his smile evaporated when he saw those two at the gate. 

"P'Mew, I heard you are looking for  me." Gulf who just arrived asked the guy who is already bored while waiting for him.

"Don't tell me you forgot?"

"Forgot what?-- Oh shia. We have an interview assignment, right? How did I forget that? I am so sorry, Phi."

Gulf is obviously slapping his forehead. He can't believe that he actually forgot about the task given to them as seatmates. But deep inside, Gulf he is so excited because it is another opportunity to have a quality time with his crush. He thinks that being classmates with Mew is totally not enough and that he didn't regret praying for him to become his seatmate. It is all worth it. If only one could see how his heart jumps in excitement.

"It's alright. So, let's go now."

"But before that, can we grab some snacks first? I am so hungry now, Phi. Nah? Nah?"

 And because Gulf is being so firm in grabbing some snacks first, Mew just agreed and then they left.

Just by watching them from a distance, Podd couldn't explain why is he getting hurt. Not physically but something inside him- in his heart.

He couldn't do anything but just watch them as they leave. It hurts actually. This is not the first time he felt it that way. Until a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He immediately get his notebook in his bag.

"G heart M. 

You mean,

Gulf heart Mew? Gulf loves Mew?"
