Off and Gun are currently looking at each other well Off is a bit tense maybe because Gun is not smiling at him he knows Gun is not mad cuz if he is he will not let him court him or even let him in inside his room and take note just the two of them. Off can just imagine the things what they will do in here if Gun already forgive him and they're already in a relationship the cold room, the soft mattress the-
“ papii are you listening? ”
“ huh- uh- what? ”
Gun rolled his eyes on him “ if you'll not focus you can just leave ”
Off quickly hold Gun's hands “ no! No! I'll focus now baby let's talk ” Off is already focused he didn't want Gun to be mad or upset to him but then he notice a slight tint of red on Gun's cheeks
“ Gun? Are you sick? You're cheeks are kinda red ” he was about to touch his face when Gun stop his hand from doing so. He just glare at him and Off didn't know why
“ I'm fine just-just focus okay? ” Off nod like he was ready to focused when in fact he's just mesmerized by Gun's face that is currently so close to him. He wants to hold Gun's cheeks although he already touched it when they're shooting in a series but this time it's different it's only the two of them and no one's watching
“ papii? ” Off didn't notice that Gun is already aware that he was scanning his face
“ Gun can I touch your cheeks with my hands? ” Off knew Gun is confused but the boy still nod at his request. He carefully lift his both hands and hold both of Gun's cheeks his face is so small compared with his hands it's like he was holding a small bread that if he pinch or hold it too tight the beautiful bread will easily loose it's beautiful shape. Off knew that he looked like a crazy mad man for being happy just to get a hold on Gun's cheeks but he doesn't care he badly wants to do this since he knew he fall for the boy and now that he's actually doing it, it feels surreal for him. Before he was just imagining like how it feels to hold Gun's cheeks when no one is watching, so this is how it feels his heart is beating fast and his body starts to warm up even though the AC is on and only Gun can make him feel this way. He's so happy, he's fucking happy that he didn't know how to explain it.
“ uh papii ” he was awaken on his own thoughts when Gun speak when he look at him Gun is staring at him eyes are glossy, cheeks are flushed and his lips are really pouty and red without him even trying God! He wants to keep this Gun in front of him so no one can ever see this state of him and how beautiful he is.
“ I'm sorry, do you feel uncomfortable? ” he ask but he's still not removing his hands, not yet. Just a little more.
Gun slowly shook his head and Off just want to swoon at his actions he's so cute, he can't handle it “ no, I actually like it... ” Gun hold both of his hands that is still on his cheeks his hands are way smaller than his but they matched perfectly “... you're hands are warm and soft, it calms me ” Off heart's melt at this sight, Gun in front of him letting him hold his cheeks? This is the happiest day of his life but meeting Gun is the happiest day of his life right? You know what forget it! He's happy if is Gun is in it. No need to choose the day! Their moment last for a couple of minutes before Off remove his hands on Gun's cheeks he's afraid Gun will start to feel uncomfortable and just afraid to tell him.
“ so what do you want to know? ” he started to speak because Gun is silent for a minute now and the moment he said it Gun is back on looking like he wants to kill him, he just hopes he guessed it wrong
“ let's start at what you said earlier, what made you think I have a girlfriend? ”
Off sighed as he remember his dumbness “ as I told you earlier your joke on me when Mild and I broke up didn't register, all I heard that day is you having a girlfriend and afraid of loosing her. Those words haunt me until I burst up, until I took that sleeping pills that day I just want to sleep because thinking of you with a girl really hurts me that whenever I close my eyes that's the only thing that comes in my mind. I'm sorry if I didn't listen carefully it's just my mind start to blank up and the only thing that register in it is the last thing you say. I didn't know that you're just joking on me ”
“ papii I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I joked that way I didn't know you already felt the same way back then ” back then?
Off look at him obviously confused and Gun just looking at him face is red but he didn't dare to look away at him “ what do you mean back the? You mean- ” Gun nodded at him with a small smile on his face
“ I already liked you. I just didn't know how to say it to you, because you know you have a girlfriend and you just broke up with her ”
“ so the kisses? And the hugs? ” Gun nod at him again, he can't believe it Gun actually liked him too! And yes Mild is right when she said that he's so fucking naive cuz he is!
“ another question uhm- what Mild and you did when you leave that day ” Gun is not looking at him he's probably shy asking him that and Off is not dumb enough to now know what the boy wants to hear
“ nothing ” he just simply said but Gun quickly glare at him “ what do you mean none? When all of the people in the internet tell that you and Mild we're having a date that day! ”
Off was amused on his reaction “ where not ” he smile at him but Gun just glare at him more
“ we just talked about you ”
“ me? ”
“ yeah, Well she thought that you and I are already dating because we broke up because of you ” he saw how his eyes grew wider in shock I mean who wouldn't?
“ you're the reason why we broke up because you made me feel like I need to protect you, like I need to take care of you all the time, look after you and I didn't notice that I'm already falling for you you made me feel jealous whenever you're too close to everyone I even want to kill Tay when you're so close to him ” Off can't believe how childish he is before he didn't notice it because he thought it was just normal to be jealous but voicing it out? He's really childish
“ I want you to do that to me, only me. Not anyone else, not even Tay. Gun I know I'm still courting you but please? Can you limit your skinship to others? I only want you mine. I'm selfish and you know that so please if you don't want me to pull up a fight to those people stop doing it or just limit it okay? ”
“ you're saying those things to me when in fact you're the one who's having a more close relationship with Mild. Everyone thinks that you and her are already back to each other! And I saw how she protects you in front of that MC and you also said that you'll date her again if you're given a chance. So tell me who's the one should limit his self to others? ”
Off didn't know that Gun feels insecure whenever he's with the girl. Mild is just a friend to him but maybe people gives a wrong hint about them.
“ Gun, Mild and I are just friends she even cursed me when I say that you didn't like me. She said that you're jealous to her- ”
“ I am! ”
“ and I'm stupid to not listen to her. I insist that you're not, that maybe you're just not used to me talking to others and I constantly reminding her or to myself that you already have girlfriend because I'm afraid to give hope to myself cuz whenever you made me feel happy you're girlfriend that I thought you have ruined everything. On the day of your birthday? I really thought that she's your girlfriend because the way you look at her? You never look at me like that, that's why I thought that she's your girlfriend ”
“ you know what you're really stupid! Again Ploy is not my girlfriend and please I can't even think of her as one. We are talking about you that day on how you surprise me and everything... So maybe that's why I look... like that ” He can't believe what he just heard, so that explains why he looked so in love and the blush? Off is really stupid, idiot and dumb. Gun is looking more red than ever and he just realizes that his boy is blushing, and he just thought of it now, but then he remembered something
“ I want to ask too, why did you drink too much huh?! Didn't you know that those fucking bastard dared to hold you?! You're mine! I even thought to have your own bodyguards that'll guard you from a distance ”
Off earned a hit from Gun that make him hissed in pain “ Gun! That hurts! ”
“ well that should hurt! I drink my ass out that night because of that rumor and you didn't even call or text me to clarify things out. Instead you just let me over think that's why I need an outlet to release my stress! ”
“ but you put yourself in a difficult situation! ”
“ but you came ” Gun is smiling at him it's so gentle that Off's mood instantly change
“ but what if I didn't? ”
Gun shook his head “ I know you'll come, I know you still care for me that if I will kill myself I know you're there to save me ”
Off smile drop he didn't like what Gun said, not a bit “ don't say those kind of things ”
“ I'm just joki- ”
“ well it's not funny ” Off didn't want to hear those kind of topic, it's bearable for him to hear that Gun already has a girlfriend than hearing him dead. He can't even stand the idea of it. It's too much for him.
“ I'm sorry papii, I'll never joke like that again so don't be mad na? ” Gun is holding his hands and kissing it with his lips if this will not melt your heart? You're not a human!
Off sighed then pull Gun to him making him sit on his lap “ I'm not mad just can't imagine that stuff I'll go crazy if that happens ” he said as he fix Gun's hair in place. Gun just give him a smile and a kiss on the cheek that made him stunned for a sec.
Gun laugh at his reaction “ papii! You're blushing! ”
“ uh- it's just- ” he was cutted off when Gun put his index finger on his lips
“ shh~ no need to be shy when you're really blushing ” Gun teases him
‘ coming from the person who's also shy when he blushed ’ but Off didn't say that out loud he might earn another hit from the latter if he say it
“ P'Off are you- ” Pim didn't expect what she would see when she open her brother's door her P'Gun is currently sitting on Off's lap like it was nothing. She already saw them in this position on the internet but she didn't saw them doing it in front of her and the people in the internet is right they're really look good together! Pim knew that her brother like Off but she didn't expect that Gun would be this daring! She didn't even know if these two already made up! But by the looks of it, obviously they are already okay with each other.
“ nong Pim ” was the only words Off can utter but Gun? Well let's just say he didn't care if his sister saw him like that, it's not his father so...
“ Well I thought- ” a baritone voice stop Pim on what she was about to say and Gun know that voice too well
“ Pim are they done- ” Gun's Father was stunned for a bit but easily regain his composure. Soon as Gun saw his father beside Pim he instantly push Off that made him fall his back on the floor
“ P-Pho ” Gun stutter, he was nervously looking at his father then to his sister that is nervous as well
“ Gun why did you push me that hard my back- ” Gun hit his shoulder, Off didn't notice the tension inside the room but when he look at the door he immediately sits straight.
“ P' ” is all he can say, Gun's Father look at the both of them and God knows how nervous Off and Gun is
“ I see.. The both of you already, TALKED ” Gun's Father said while staring at Off
“ Gun ” His father called him
“ yes pho! ” Off can sense the tension on Gun's voice
“ I think you need to introduce your boyfriend first before the both of you... Do THINGS ” then his father already went downstairs
“ but Pho! He's not my boyfriend! ” Gun said but Pim just rolled her eyes on him
“ he didn't hear you! It's too late, why do you need to sit on P'Off's lap anyway? ” Pim is now back on herself and can nag her brother around
“ I didn't do it, he's the one who pull me and I just obliged- ”
“ please~ you like it too that's why you let him ” his sister said with a raise brow
“ and if I do? You can't do something anyway in fact it's your fault that Pho saw us because you just open the door without knocking ” Her brother spat out. Off didn't want to intervene in a sibling fight it's good for him to shut his mouth in this situation.
“ my fault? ” Pim point herself “ if you didn't just let P'Off pull you then Pho wouldn't saw that earlier ” Pim fired back to Gun
Gun look at him with a glare “ papii tell her who's fault is it! ”
“ uhm ” Off glance at Pim and the girl is also looking at him with a glare, did he just said that he didn't want to intervene? Why is he in trouble now?
“ uhm well.. ” he was looking between Gun that is beside him and Pim that is standing in front of him
“ m-maybe we should go downstairs first your father might be waiting ” he didn't hear anything when he said that, the two just give one last glare at each other before Pim leaves the room.
‘ that was really close ’
----
Off and Gun are sitted on the sofa that Off sitted earlier when he just arrived and Gun's father are in front of them staring at the both of them for a minute now, he's not talking for almost a minute and Off is nervous is hell
“ uhm pho ” Gun is the one who broke the silence and Off is thankful for that he didn't want to initiate any conversation
“ the thing you saw at my room? We're just talking ” Off wants to agree because they're just really talking but his hands are so playful that he pull Gun on his lap
“ talking? ” you can hear the amusement on Gun's Father's voice, he didn't believe it
“ yes, you know we do that most of the time and people knew that. You also knew that right? In twitter- ”
“ but in that room it's only you and him ” Gun's father is looking at him when he said that and he wants to buried his self alive on where he is right now he's so shy that he didn't want to show his face in front of Gun's Father
“ yeah but papii will never do such thing, I know him ” Gun assured his father
His father turned to him “ but still he's a boy he might do something unnecessary, I told him to talk to you not to do something else ” his father is looking at him again
“ and I'm not? Pho I'm a boy too ”
“ but I know you, you wouldn't do that ”
“ same as papii pho, I know him too well if he would do such thing then he should have do that when I was in his condo and drunk- ”
“ what drunk? When is that?! ” Gun's father is glaring at him and he didn't know what to do or to say
“ well that time P'Best call me and... And told me if I can come and pick them up ” Off dared to say even though he was so nervous and his tongue almost tied up inside his mouth
“ what time is that? Why they didn't call me or Pim instead ”
“ it's already 3am in the morning that time and I was about to go home from my shoot then P'Best call me, maybe I was the one who answered first that's why she didn't have the chance to call either you or Pim ”
Gun's father can't believe what he just heard “ 3am in the morning? And you're still at a bar? ”
Now it's Gun's turn to stutter and be nervous “ well uhm ”
“ Gun I let you drink but to push yourself like there's no people who are worrying for you in this house maybe I should give a you a curfew time if you didn't have a shoot? ”
“ Pho! I'm already 26! ”
“ you're already 26 and still act like a teenager, act your age be responsible ” Gun just furrowed his brows then look away at his father, as much as his father wants to spoil him this time it's too much
“ and you, why didn't you bring him home? Why take him in your condo? ”
“ well the bar is really far P' and I'm really sleepy I'm afraid that I unconsciously sleep on our way in your house, that's why I choose to bring him in my condo first ”
Gun's father is currently looking at Gun, Off didn't know if what he just say is good maybe good for him but not for Gun.
“ Gun ” Off glance at Gun's father “ I think you should run 10x around the village ”
Off was shock on what Gun's father said but Gun on the other hand didn't move a bit
“ I won't ” he said Off couldn't believe What Gun answered back this is not the time for him to give an attitude, he can feel that his father is really mad
“ what did you just say? ” his father ask him through gritted teeth
“ I won't ” Gun repeated like he's really proud of it
“ Gun don't make your father mad ” Off whisper to Gun but the boy didn't care at all, he just sit there like his father will not explode any moment
“ If that's what you- ”
“ I'LL RUN ” Off interrupted Gun's Father, he doesn't want his father to hate him or anything “ I'll do it just don't give some punishment to him or anything he'll do. I'll do it instead ”
“ what are you saying? ” Gun was glaring at him didn't he like that he was protecting him from his father?
“ are you sure? ”
“ yes P' ”
“ okay ” his father smile at him and Off knew he put his self on a trouble
---
“ 1 more round! ” Gun's Father shouted from their house.
Off has been running for 9 times already he thought that he's friends will help him or something but when he's out of the house Arm's car is nowhere to be found probably Tay wants to eat something that's why they're not here.
“ papii can you just stop? ” Gun hand him a towel and a glass of water from their house Gun wanted to stop him but he's so eager to show his father something and both of them knew,him and Gun's father that this is not about the punishment for Gun
“ no Gun, just one more and I'm done just wait here okay? ” he ruffles Gun's hair then he started running again
‘ just one more and I'm done ’
“ pho! I swear if papii will collapse after this I'll tell grandma! ” Gun shouted from where he is and crosses his arms while his father just smile at what he said
“ he just need to prove something to me ” his Dad said but it really didn't reach Gun's spot because it's more like he's telling it to his self, he just continue what he was doing in his laptop
---
“ here he is ” Pim said to his brother that is currently sitting on the side walk
Gun immediately stand up and look at where Off is he's holding another glass of water for him. Off carefully sits on the sidewalk he's sweaty and he's breathing like crazy because of how tired he is. He just came from the hospital and here he is running under the heat of the sun and he doesn't know if it's already 39° because it's already 11:30 am almost noon and he was running around the village like it's just 5am in the morning he didn't expect that Gun's village is big he should have listen to Gun when he stops him but all of this really paid off he knew Gun's Father gave him some point to this
“ next time listen to me! ” Gun nagged at him as he throw a towel on his head and sitted right next to him
“ I'm fine, I can't just watch you run ” he reason out as he drink the water Gun handed him
“ you really think my Pho will let me do that? ” Off just glance at him “ he will never let me do that again because I'll call grandma and for sure grandma will nagged him instead ”
Off can't imagine what Gun told him, his Father nagged by his grandma it's a cute scenario but still he can't imagine it
“ it's fine at least I got to exercise my body ” Gun just glare at him and he just smile at his boy
“ will the both of you stop flirting? ” Pim intervene before she walks inside their house, Off didn't expect Pim would say that, guess bad attitude really runs in their blood
“ tsk she's just jealous she didn't have a boyfriend, come on papii I'll lend you some of my clothes I know that'll fit you ”
Off smile at what Gun said “ but Gun I'm still not your boyfriend, I'm still courting you ”
“ aow, is that so? Okay then fine come on ” Off saw how Gun blush at what he said before the boy enter their house. He's not the boyfriend but Off knew someday he will, didn't he promise that he'll make Gun his boyfriend within this year? When he said that he didn't know what will happen if he pursue Gun if he already has a girlfriend but guess faith is with him and dumbness leaves him instead. Gun loves him and he can finally feel that the way he talks and the way he looks at him he can now clearly see what those people told him when Gun looked at him. He choose to court Gun although he badly wants him to be his boyfriend, he wants Gun to feel that he's special, he wants him to feel how it is good that there is someone who's pursuing you.
“ Gun ” Gun just look back at him like asking what is it
“ I love you ” he saw how Gun's face turn red even more, he will not get tired saying this things to him, for years he stop his self on saying this kind of things to him and now that he have the chance to say it, he'll always say this
“ what are you saying, can you walk faster? You need to change ” Gun was just hiding how he is so shy right now, even though Off didn't get the answer he wants from the boy just being together with him and letting him in his life is more than enough.
He just obliged on what Gun said he didn't want that this shorty will start his early attitude he was about to walk pass him when Gun hold his arms that made him stop
“ hmm? ”
“ let's come in together ” a smile form on his face at how cute his action is
“ ja ”
“ pho what do you think about P'Off? ” Pim is currently stalking her brother to the window while her father is busy cooking something in the kitchen
“ well he's good ” Pim was confused at her father's answer “ you accept P'Off? Just like that? ”
“ well even if I don't like him, your brother like him if I intervene you know what'll happen right? ” Pim agreed at what her father said it's better to let her brother do his thing because if he needs something he'll tell and that's when the time their father will do something but if her brother is fine and really happy with Off why would he stop it? Their father may look cold and tough on the outside but he's really soft especially to them.
“ you think how many days before P'Gun let P'Off court him I heard earlier that P'Off will court him ”
“ I don't know maybe 2 days? ” Pim can't help but laugh at his father's answer
“ pho! If P'Gun will hear what you just said you're dead ” Her father just shrug his shoulder and continue to chop the carrots for the dish he was making.
