After that unexpected incident where Off needs to tell Gun's Father about his feelings to his son their journey as a couple has been very smooth- wait couple? Scratch that! Their journey as him courting Gun has been very smooth though no one in the agency knows what they are doing, Gun didn't want the agency to know about them for now he said that he wants it to keep it private and the people there will definitely tease him to death if they knew, Off didn't care about it that much, as long as Gun wil still end up to him he's fine. The boy can do whatever he wants in this relationship or this set up because hey! they're still not a thing.
“ hey can you snap out of it? ”
“ uh huh? ”
Mild groan dramatically “ P'Off I've been telling you like a million times already my lines and I'm not hearing a response? Are you dead or something? ”
“ ah hehe ” Off let out a chuckle, he didn't thought that he's spacing out again. Gun is always in his mind this past few days. The latter change a bit, he has been so distant to him when he started to court him, he's not that clingy, he also barely got the neck kisses that he is so used to! He didn't know why but its the complete opposite when they're alone together, Gun is very tempting that he needs to calm his self every time Gun will start to cling on him. Before when Gun gave him this attention although he already like him he didn't feel anything sexual at all he just let him do his thing and he'll do his thing but now that there are things that is clear between the both of them the things that Gun do to him gives a different effect to him now. He didn't want to ask Gun about it, he's afraid Gun will think too much about it. He has needs but he didn't want the latter to pressure his self if he's not ready and their still dating it's too much for Gun if he'll say this things to him, he'll freak out for sure.
“ I'm sorry can you just repeat it again? ” Off scan his script to find where Mild just speak the lines
“ you know what? Forget it! ” Off look at her with curiosity didn't she want to finish this?
“ I noticed like since you came! You have this freaking aura that saying you're happy ” Mild was again doing weird gesture with her hands while she speak, Off find it funny but he also notice that it's her way to express what she wants to say and he also adopt some of it
“ the fuck are you laughing at? ” mood change? Real quick eh?
“ no! No! I'm sorry ” Off said between laughs
“ what ever! Just tell me what happened ” Mild is looking at him they both know that something has change to him but can he tell to her? Is it okay to Gun?
“ come on! Spill it! ” Mild is frustrated to know, she's been observing Off the whole time, there's something new to Off but she's not quite sure what is it and this is the only time she can ask about it
“ well ”
“ well? What? ” should he tell her? But she's way too talkative but on the other hand he's sure Mild will not tell it to anybody
“ what? ”
He heaves a sigh, seriously this girl is such a push over “ fine, me and Gun... Well don't tell it to anybody okay? He might get mad and I don't know if he'll approve this saying to you- ”
“ can't you say it directly? ”
“ ugh fine! me and Gun are dating I'm courting him ” he waits for Mild to react or freak out or throw something at him but he's surprised that she didn't do what he was expecting her to do
“ that's it? ” Mild said she sounds like she's so disappointed on what she hear
“ yes, what do you wanna hear? ” the girl just shrug at him, she focus on reading her script
“ I just thought that you and P'Gun are already in a relationship guess you're too slow.. ” she then look at him “... But I guess it's good that there's a progress so how did you trick p'Gun? ”
Mild earn a hit from Off, he didn't expect that Mild is far more worst, what she want me to do? Force Gun to be his boyfriend at that moment?
“ aow! I'm still a girl you know? ” Mild spat out as she holds her head where Off just hit her with his script
“ aow! You're a girl didn't know that? ”
“ fuck you ” Mild mouthed out while glaring at him. He just give her a mocking look then read his script
“ jokes aside ” Mild lean at him “ how did you and p'Gun talk it out? ” before he answer he makes sure that Mild is serious because most of the time she's just messing around
“ he also likes me... ” Off started, their time for throwing lines on each other end up on him telling what happened to Gun's house and how did they end up him courting the latter. Mild almost laugh like crazy when Off told her about the incident where Gun and Him caught by Pim and their father
Mild was wiping her tears from laughing at him he is pissed but if you're a normal person and hear what his story you'll probably laugh like Mild too, so he can't blame her.
“ you know what? You did way more embarrassing things that I think you would do in front of p'Gun's father! You're the worst! ” and after that Mild laugh like crazy again
“ can you tone it down, I feel sorry for the flies and other insects that will be trap inside your mouth because of how big it is ”
“ flies my ass you can't stop me! Haha don't you know how to stop your libido? ”
“ I don't know it's just normal for the both of us guess it's not the case to his father ”
“ so what's your current state on P'Gun's father does he approve you or just treating you good in front of p'Gun? ”
On that note, his father didn't treat him like he's an outcast after that incident he still acts the same when he first enter the house and talk to him before Gun
“ I don't know, but I hope he likes me ”
“ of course he will, just don't fuck his son in front of him ”
“ what the fuck mild- ”
“ hey the both of you are you done? ” they heard Mild's manager and pretend like they're reading but they're just exchanging glances.

“ you've been going out too much lately ” Off commented on Gun, he was busy checking his IG story. The boy has been out most of the time with his friend it's not a big deal to him but he shouldn't do it that often.
“ are you jealous of them? ” Gun tease him, he put down his phone and look at Gun that has an amuse smile on his face
“ no I'm not, why would I? ” he insist maybe he is jealous, these past weeks it's really rare for them to hang out or just be together because of their busy schedule. It's good that both of them are free today he can have Gun all by himself but he will not tell the boy that he's jealous tho, Gun will tease the hell out of him if he'll tell him
“ papii you know it doesn't hurt if you'll just tell me, maybe I'll stop hanging out with them and just stay at your condo and wait for you to come home " Gun told him in a sing song voice
“ you sure? ”
“ hmmm if you tell me ” Gun was really a wicked he really wants him to say it
“ fine, I'm jealous ” he mumbled but that's enough for Gun to hear him and wear his teasing smile
“ aww~ papii is jealous~ ”
‘ I knew it ’ Gun tease him as he sits right next to him, he didn't want to look at Gun as much as he wants to, he's really jealous. He wants to have time for Gun too but he can't because of the schedule of his work and Gun truly understands that, it's just him who can't take it. If he can just put Gun inside his pocket so he can bring him anywhere he goes he will do it and to see that it's only him that is affected in their situation makes him more jealous and frustrated.
“ papii ” Gun is hugging him on his side while his chin is on his knees, Gun hates it when he put his feet on the sofa even though it's his sofa he said that he'll make the sofa dirty.
“ we can have a vacation once our schedule is clear out ” he slowly put down his phone then look at him, Gun just smiling at him
“ how about a short vacation to Phuket? Hmm? ” there's some changes between the both of them even though him and Gun are not yet exclusively in a relationship he tend to sulk and be jealous on everything Gun does, he didn't understand his self too that lifestyle is what Gun is used to and before he didn't care to it at all, but now? He's being clingy to him, not that type of cling that Gun do, he's the type of person that ask his where about's: where did you go, who's friends are with you, what time did you got home, text me if something happens.
That kind of stuff, he didn't know if Gun is okay with it but he just wants to know where is Gun and who is he seeing if he's not around to accompany the latter
“ maybe Chiang Mai? We can also tell P'Tay to tag along and visit his grandma- ”
“ I thought it's just the two of us? ” here he comes again
He saw how Gun chuckle at him, he's being childish and he's almost 30 to act like this. This is not him
“ okay Mr. Off Jumpol, we'll have our own vacation to Phuket THEN we go to Chiang Mai so you and P'Tay can enjoy too you can also tell P'Arm to join, how's that? ”
Off put down his phone then look at Gun that is still smiling at him “ Sounds a plan to me ”
Gun let out a giggle and God knows how Off swoon over at the boy's small action “ really? Papii you change a bit ” Off smile drop “ you don't like it? ”
Gun shook his head “ actually I like it, it made me love you even more. You know that I'm so used on you that is most of the time care about me but it's fun that I can take care of you too ”
“ oh Gun! ” he pull Gun into a hug, seriously? Gun is slowly maturing and it's good that it was him who witnessed and saw it first.
---
The next day Off wake up alone, Gun is not on the bed anymore
‘ he wake up early? ’ he thought. He rubs his eyes and start to look for Gun
“ Gun? ” he saw him in the kitchen holding his phone his back facing him, a smile form on his face he slowly walk to him and back hugged him, his face rest on Gun's shoulder
“ you wake up early? ” Gun didn't answer him “ Gun? ” the boy still didn't answer him, he accidentally saw what Gun is looking on his phone his blood instantly boil on what he see.
It was an article saying that Gun is the reason why this couple broke up he didn't dare to read more cuz it made his mind black out. Who the hell will accuse Gun in such allegations without a fucking proof. He felt Gun's shoulder shake, he's crying.
“ p-papii ” he turned to Gun to face him, eyes filled with tears. He badly wants to punch the fucker who accuse Gun in this nonsense
“ papii I didn't do it, I-I don't know something about it... We j-just hang out that's all. I d-don't know what they are saying.. ” Gun's voice is shaky and any time soon he'll break down “... please believe in me papii. I-I'm telling the truth ”
“ Gun I believe in you okay? I'll not just believe in some fucking article ”
“ papii promise I didn't cheat on you, I didn't ” it's like Gun didn't hear what he said, this is bad
Off hugged him and the moment he did Gun burst out crying saying he didn't cheat and he didn't know what the hell is going on
“ papii promise I didn't cheat on you ” Gun's words are inaudible because of his cry but Off understands it. He said that over and over again, and Off just say that he believes in him at this point Off can't do or say something about it, if he will tell something while Gun is on this state? Gun will probably break down even more and he will not listen in everything he will say.
He didn't know why and why those people targeted Gun this time, there's some allegation and rumors that is spreading among the artists and Off didn't expect that they can make an issue about Gun and it's fucking fabricated! He swear if he will get to know who's behind this? He'll not think twice to put him or her in jail, yes! Her even if it's a girl he didn't care! It's Gun that they dare to mess with. He didn't care if it's him that they made an issue but if it's about Gun it's a different story. If he needs to hire a private investigator just to know who the fuck is behind this article he'll do it.
“ are you okay now? ” he finally asked after Gun calm down after a minute or more. Gun just nod he look at him with his pleading eyes “ p-papii you believe in me right? ”
He smile at the boy and slowly nods “ of course I believe in you, so stop crying okay? ” Gun slowly nod at him “ I'll hunt that fucker down because he make my Gun cry hmm? ” Gun just stare at him “ so stop crying because I'm hungry and I want my Gun to cook for me hmm? ”
Gun slowly blush at what he said ‘ well that was fast ’ , it's okay to be like this he didn't want Gun to stress his self out with this nonsense issue, like seriously? Who the hell would believe in that article? Tsk tsk
“ papii what do you want? ” Gun ask from the kitchen, he's currently washing his face from the bathroom
“ anything is fine as long is you cook it ” he didn't hear a response from him but he knows that Gun is blushing like crazy, he just smile at that thought.
He just got out of the bathroom when he saw Gun's phone, p'Kwang is calling him
“ Gun, P'kwang is calling do you want me to answer for you? ”
“ yes please, thank you papii ” he heard Gun said he get his phone and answer P'Kwang
[ hello Gun? ]
“ yo P'kwang ”
‘ is it rude to answer like that? Haha maybe it's fine if it's just once in a while ’
[ Off?? ] You can clearly hear the confusion in Kwang's voice but Off didn't have the time to tell, if she ask? Then he'll answer
“ the one and only ”
[ what the- never mind! where's Gun? ]
“ in the kitchen, cooking our breakfast why? ”
[ in your place? ]
“ yes? Why? ” he heard a sigh from the other line
[ did Gun open his twitter account? Did he already saw- ]
“ that fucking article? ” he cutted Kwang before she can say it “ he knew and he doesn't care about it ” he saw Gun is looking at him, he didn't hang up the call
[ how did he react? That's not true right? ]
“ he fucking cried, and if the agency will not do something about it I'll do it myself, You know that I hate seeing Gun cry right P'Kwang? ” he was looking at Gun when he said those it's like he was saying it to Gun
[ I know, don't worry the agency is now working on it ]
“ great! I'll send a lawyer for Gun. He's good and I trust him to this ”
[ but the agency is sending- ]
“ P'Kwang just tell P'Tha that I'll send Gun his own lawyer ”
[ okay fine, just tell Gun don't go outside today but he needs to go in the agency by 4 ]
“ sure, I'll hang up now bye P' ”
[ okay thanks take care of him okay ]
“ even if you didn't tell me I'll still do it ”
Kwang just hanged up she can't take how cheesy Off is, Off put Gun's phone on the center table
“ you're done? ”
He saw how Gun startled a bit when he ask “ uh yes let's eat ”
In the dining table he can observe that Gun is a bit skeptical, he didn't ask he just let Gun to tell what is on his mind he didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable by asking about it
“ papii? ” Gun called him, he was about to eat the sausage in his mouth
“ yes? ” Gun is fidgeting his fingers, he's contemplating whether to ask or not
“ about what you talk with P'Kwang earlier, is that true? ”
“ what part? Well all of that is true so yeah why? ” he said and finally can eat the sausage, the sausage is good because Gun cooked it or he was just hungry?
“ why you need to hire a lawyer for me? From what I heard the agency will provide my own lawyer why you need to hire for me? ”
“ I want the best for you, and in fact I will be able to know who the hell spread that fake news and I'll be able to shove this sausage in his face ” Off bites the sausage like it's the fucker's head he's chewing
Gun laugh at his antics, Off purposely do that he didn't want Gun to think on that issue too much “ then he'll not be punished if you shove a piece of sausage? ” Gun is playing along with his jokes and this is what he's trying to do
“ who said I'll just shove one? I'll buy a dozen and I'll put the sausage in his mouth myself! ”
“ aow! He might able to beat you in eating a sausage? The last time you shove a big piece of sausage in your mouth was years ago, I guess someone will take your place now? ” Gun is teasing him while he munch the bread
“ then what the he'll would I do? ” he pretend to whine, he's working hard just to maje Gun feel at ease
“ maybe just let the authorities do their job? ”
“ tsk fine! ” he give up, maybe Gun was right let the authorities do their job “ before I forgot P'kwang said don't go out today~ thats means a day for the both of us again~ ”
“ You have work remember? ”
“ oh! I accidentally forgot that I'm free today! ” Gun gave him a smug look like he's not buying his lie
“ go to work ”
“ but Gun- ”
“ no, go to work or else ”
“ tsk fine! ” Gun gave him a sweet smile but he knew that smile was for him to get pissed
---
“ are you sure you don't want me to accompany you here?
“ are you sure you don't want to attend the shoot? It's almost over? ”
“ but Gun- ”
Gun give him a warning look and all he can do is to obliged he didn't want the boy to be mad at him. They're inside his room Gun is busy fixing the clothes that he choose basically putting back the clothes he choose and didn't like.
“ you're all set now? Bye ” Gun said still busy with his clothes
“ that's it? ”
“ what do you want me to do? ” Off groan he just want a kiss that's all
“ you should leave now papii ”
---
“ yes p'kwang? ”
Off is currently heading to grammy building P'kwang told him that the lawyer he sent is in the building, he didn't tell Gun that his work for today is about the issue he's in. He's just calm and goofy in front of Gun so the boy wouldn't worry too much but in reality he didn't want this case te settle just like that, he wanted everyone that is involved in this issue will be put in jail whether his/her contribution to this issue is Big or small they'll not gonna let go with it. Every single detail, he needs to know so no one will try to mess up again. He's nice if you're nice, but when you start to fuck up his private life and the person you choose to mess with is Gun? You just unconsciously wake up a sleeping lion. His eyes and ears are close to every apology that the suspects will give.
[ the lawyer is already here and he already know who's behind this, how? ]
“ I also hire a private investigator for that, I'm afraid the agency is a bit slow to know who the hell that is ”
[ Off your mouth, and why do you need to do all of this for Gun? I know he's your friend but is this a bit too much? ]
Oh, he totally forgot
“ I just want to and you know no one can resist Gun right? ”
[ right, but still be careful the people around you will assume something ]
“ okay P' I need to focus on the road ”
[ you're driving?! ]
“ yep why? ” he heard a frustrated sigh from the other line then a beep that means Kwang ended the call
“ why does she need to do that? She didn't ask tho ”
Upon arriving at the building, Off went straight ahead to P'Tha's office. He wants to know what will the agency say in the media and when he mean say, what lies are they telling them because they already got the man behind it thanks to him
“ you didn't tell us that you already make a move about the issue? ”
Off didn't expect that the other board members of Gmm are also here, he didn't know what is the big deal about it that they suddenly show up.
“ I just want to know and I don't want to wait that's why ”
“ you should've inform us on what you'll do, you're making some careless decision ” the man in front of him say
P'Tha's office change a bit there's a round table where they're talking and this man in front of him is really pissed about what he did.
“ wow! don't I get a thank you for making your problems easier? I even use my own money to that and this is what I get? Well this is fucking great! ” the man in front of him didn't expect that he'll curse but who cares if they call him just to complain about what he did, he didn't need to pay some respect to this old board members who have nothing to do but sit their ass out and do nothing.
“ Off, language ” he heard P'Tha warned him, he just give a wai to him then focused on the old man in front of him
“ the both of you have a point.. ” Off's brows instantly raise when he heard what P'Tha said like really this old man is right? The man in front of him look so proud at what P'Tha said
‘ Old hag ’ he mouthed and he saw how the man turned red because of his anger but he didn't do anything just look at him. Off just give him a smirk then he look at P'Tha
“ ... But also Off did us a big favor, and to know that he used his own money to this? ”
A triumph smile form on Off's lips and he can see on his peripheral vision that the old man in front of him is fuming mad
“ but next time you should inform us, or at least me Off ”
“ I'm sorry P' I forgot, things happened so fast that's why I think I need to do something about it too. I'm sorry, don't worry P' I'll inform you next time ”
“ about the media maybe we'll just tell them that we already make a move we can't tell them that we already knew who's behind this, they might know that it was Off who did all the work. It will create rumors about our agency ”
“ and this is the effect of some careless decision ” the old man in front of him is really getting in to his nerves
“ well if the OTHER board members here do his work and not just slouch I don't think I'll do it no? And maybe if the past issues are solve that fast? Then MAYBE I wouldn't intervene about the situation , you think so Mr.? ”
He give a smile to the man in front of him and he already know he won this unexpected battle between them.
The meeting lasts only an hour and Off still have time to buy Gun some foods he bet that Gun is already bored inside his condo. Gun really loves to go out and it torture's him if he'll stay inside for hours.
“ Off can you stay for a while I need to talk to you about something ”
Off is confuse but still sit and let P'Tha start the conversation
“ about what you said earlier I'm sorry if we can't solve the past issues that fast and our artist suffer for it ”
“ P'Tha that's not what I mean ” he didn't expect that what he said earlier will hurt P'Tha's feeling. P'Tha is a great leader for Gmm it's just that he's not the only owner of the company, behind his decision there is a lot of mind that comes with it. He didn't decide it on his own, most of the time the decision made is decided by most of the Board members, even if P'Tha refused to if most of the members is united in a one decision, that will be the decision of the whole company.
“ no, you're right. I'm sorry for that and I'll make sure that I'll do my best to protect our artist that you don't need to intervene again ”
“ P'Tha really that is not what I meant I was just so pissed earlier to that old man ”
“ but you need to agree that what you said is a fact ”
Off kept his mouth shut to that, P'Tha's right but he's not blaming him tho
“ it's fine Off at least someone in this company is being honest and just didn't shut their mouth about the issue, and for that thank you ”
“ no P' they're just afraid to hurt your feelings that's why they didn't comment or say about it ”
He didn't lie when he said that almost all of the staff and actors in the agency knew this disadvantage of the Company but none of them want to be frank and tell it to P'Tha because of how kind and generous he is they're afraid to hurt his feelings but maybe he needs someone to tell him so that he can think of ways how to solve it.
