Off threw himself on his bed. Fuck he still couldn't believe he had done that with Gun. And to think they had almost gotten caught! What the hell had he been thinking?!
Off was just glad that P'Boy hadn't asked him too many questions on the ride back. He really didn't know how he would respond. This... thing with Gun whatever it was, was going on for longer than Off wanted and was obviously getting worse by the minute. I mean look at him! He, Off Jumpol had made another grown man cum for fucks sake. God what had he been thinking!
And if he was honest with himself deep deep deeeeeeeep down he had enjoyed every moment of it. Fuck there was obviously something very wrong with him! He had to meet with Gun again so they could solve this and go back to being their usual selfs before anyone noticed anything Goddammit!
Off took a deep breath, he was the adult in this situation and it was time for him to act like one. Off begrudgingly took out his cell phone and after a moments hesitation he called Gun.
The phone kept ringing for a while before Gun picked up his phone. Off expected Gun to excitedly shout 'Papi' into the phone as he usually did when Off called him but Off was met with silence.
"Hello? Hello Gun can you hear me?" Off hesitantly spoke into his cellphone.
"What do you want Papi?" Gun irritatedly snapped in response which made Off just a little annoyed.
"Awuuu I'm sorry was there something better you were doing that I'm interrupting?" Off snapped back at him irritated by Guns response. Usually he was so happy when Off called him, granted things had been weird between them lately but Off really wasn't liking the cold reception.
Gun sighed " Sorry Papi, it's just that I'm expecting someone to come over to my house and I was busy preparing for them so you're kinda disturbing me," Gun said with a more softer tone this time.
Off frowned "Who?"
"What?" Gun confusedly asked
"Who are you expecting?" Off said in a serious tone.
Gun kept silent for a couple of seconds before he spoke "Papi since when did you care about who visits me at my house?"
Okay Gun had a point. Off usually could give a fuck about who was visiting Gun when and what they were doing. Still Off couldn't help but be annoyed with Gun's answer, so what if Off only decided to be a good P now, what was it to Gun! That was none of Gun's business, he just had to answer when he's P was talking to him Damnit.
"I asked you a question Gun and I hope this time you'll answer me instead of asking me unnecessary things," Off icily spoke into the phone. Did his nong have that little respect for him that he wouldn't answer when asked a straight forward question?! What the fuck.
Gun hesitated for a bit before he softly responded obviously hearing the irritation in Offs voice. "Just Tay Papi, I promised to cook for him a while back because I lost a bet with him so I guess he decided to cash in on the promise today," Gun explained.
And then something totally unexpected happened. Some thing that indicated to Off just how far everything had gone and how much shit he was going to be in if he didn't find a solution for everything that has been happening IMMEDIATELY.
... Off kinda felt jealous of his Best friend.
"Uhm Gun can we meet up tomorrow? It's very important," Off frantically spoke into the phone when he realized the feeling of jealousy that had washed over him a second ago.
"Why Papi?" Gun confusedly asked.
"We really really need to talk about what's been going on between us before things get anymore awkward," Off begrudgingly explained. This was the last thing he wanted to be talking about with Gun right now but it had to be done.
Gun kept quiet for a another couple of seconds before he spoke again.".. OK Papi, we can meet at Sarangs Korean BBQ restaurant tomorrow since they have those private booths where we can talk without being noticed,"
"Awuu so it's fine for Tay to go to your house but I'm not allowed to?" Off said before he could stop himself. What the fuck was wrong with him he was starting to sound a lot like a Jealous girlfriend fucking hell!
"Well the last two times we were in a room alone I was attacked!" Gun snapped back at Off causing him to blush. Fuck Off hated to admit it but the Brat was right. They obviously couldn't be trusted to be alone by themselves right now.
Off hesitated for a bit before he apologized." You're right, I'm sorry , Sarangs is fine. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 11am, that okay?" Off softly spoke into the phone.
That must have gotten Gun off guard because he also hesitated for a bit before responding "11am is fine"
"... Great," Off said before they both kept quiet on the phone. Fuck when did talking to Gun on the phone become so awkward.
After the silence lasted for a while Gun spoke "Well okay then, bye Papi I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Yeah bye, Oh and enjoy your dinner Nong ," Off softly said before quickly dropping the phone before Gun could respond.
Off placed his cellphone on his nightstand and headed to the bathroom to wash his face ignoring the wild fluttering in his stomach and the loud beating of his heart. Once again.
... Fuck
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sorry Papi I'm late," Gun frantically said as he entered the booth Off had been waiting for him in. He took off his coat and placed it neatly on the floor before sitting down cross-legged on the cushion on the floor opposite Off.
"It's fine, did you have any trouble finding me?" Off asked the shorty putting his phone down on the low rise table and stretching out his legs since he was starting to lose blood circulation after having his legs crossed for so long.
Gun shook his head as he reached for his chopsticks to start eating the spicy rice cakes , one of his favorites, that Off had already ordered for him "The waitress showed me where you were when I said I'm meeting my tall friend," Gun explained.
Off smirked "I am quite tall aren't I," Off said pleased with himself but Gun just rolled his eyes at him and carried on eating. Off laughed and started eating the barbecued pieces of pork belly now that Gun had arrived.
Sarangs was one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in Bangkok. Their menu consisted only of Korean food. The restaurant had two sections, an open outside plan and private little booths or rooms hidden from the rest of the restaurant by curtains covering their entrance. This was usually the place people loved to drink in but since it was so early in the morning the restaurant was still quiet making it the perfect place for Gun and Off to meet.
Off softly coughed "So... How was dinner yesterday?" Off nonchalantly asked simply making conversation as they ate.
Gun stopped with the chopsticks halfway to his mouth and looked at Off before he resumed eating again. "It was fine, as I'm sure Tay told you himself when you messaged him about it last night,"
Off started blushing "I just wanted to ask how it was for you," Off said feeling caught out.
Gun put down his chopsticks "Why do you even care Papi?" Gun asked exasperated.
Off picked up the napkin and leaned over the table and wiped the sauce that had gotten on Gun's cheek "You're my nong, of course I care, I always have," Off explained as he sat back down again and took in Guns shell shocked expression. The word cute rang out in Offs head for some weird reason.
"No Papi, no you never have cared before! Well not like this anyway. You've been acting really weirdly these days Papi! One minute you're jumping me and the next you're ignoring me and it's all confusing the hell out of me Papi!" Gun practically shouted.
Off was so shocked he couldn't help but stare at Gun for a couple of seconds. Gun's face was red and he's eyes a little glossy, Off had never seen that expression directed at him, it made his heart clench painfully a bit, he could see how much stress he had caused the shorty and he felt really bad about it.
"Gun.. I never jumped you." Off softly started and it seemed like Gun was going to say something but Off put up his hand to stop him "The first time we kissed was because you asked me to, remember," Off said which seemed to stop Gun in the rant he was about to go on "The second time I kissed you because you were saying some really hurtful shit Gun and it was either I kissed you or punched you," Off shrug.
Gun stopped glaring at Off and he's eyes softened a bit. An awkward silence took over the room and they just sat there for a couple of minutes staring at each other.
" I'm sorry Papi, I'm sorry about the things I said yesterday, I was just angry because you just kept on confusing me and I didn't know what to make of everything," Gun softly explained.
Off nodded "That's fair, I haven't been myself either, I think maybe it's the stress of doing well on the series that's got us acting out like this," Off tried to reason even though he himself could tell it didn't make any sense at all.
"Actually I've been thinking Papi,and it's totally okay if you don't want to but I just thought that since all of this has been going on anyway why don't we use this as an opportunity to help each other out?" Gun rambled on.
"Gun what are you even talking about?" Off asked extremely confused about what Gun was saying.
"Well remember how P'Boy said I had to work on making the romantic scenes more realistic and you should work on being more comfortable with skinship with me, well this would be the perfect solution for this. We both want to do well on the series so I don't see why it should be a problem and it won't be real anyway, nothing too serious just until the end of the series so you can teach me that's all and we'll never tell anyone about it, "Gun carried on to explain although he still wasn't making much sense.
" Oiii Gun just spit it out already,"
Gun took a deep breath "Basically what I'm saying is.... Papi will you be my boyfriend?"
