"How many more?"

"This is the last one, boss." Mew took a sip from his flask and sneaked a strawberry in his mouth.

Interacting with his fans was still his favorite thing about his job. But he couldn't be more relieved to end the online fan meet after 3 hours of talking and smiling.

He had no idea what he would get when the screen flashed the last lucky fan on the list. But never in his life did he expect to see him again in this circumstance. His eyes didn't know how to process the familiar face he hasn't seen in years. He had to pinch himself just to make sure that his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

"Phi? Phi do you hear me?" It became apparent that it was his long-lost heart that he was talking to. He couldn't remember the last time he heard his voice. However, one thing is for sure. It was still the sweetest tone he's ever heard.

He thought he was the last. He thought he would be his Nong even after 10 years. He thought that since their relationship was at 9.99, the remaining 0.01 wouldn't be able to tear their relationship apart.

"Are you fucking serious?!" Gulf slams his knife and fork on the table and pushes his food towards him.

"Shit. I'm sorry, I didn't know they put shrimps in it." It was their first dinner date in over 3 months. He wanted it to be perfect but something just keeps messing things up.

"5 years and you still can't drill it in that thick skull of yours that I don't eat that shit?! Are you trying to kill me?!" While it's true that they've been distant for quite some time, he was still doing his best to make up for their lost time. But recently, it seems like nothing he does could please his lover anymore and it was starting to vex him.

"Don't be overly dramatic. The worst it could do is make you itchy."

"Oh, so it's okay because that's 'the worst it could do'. You really don't care for me anymore do you?!" Gulf was infuriated. His ears were red from the amount of emotions he's been keeping inside.

"I never said that! And I keep telling you it's an honest mistake!" Their private dinner on the rooftop looked nothing but romantic. However, their intense argument was dissolving it.

"What is wrong with you lately? You're always angry and annoyed. Sometimes you pretend as if I'm not beside you. You spend more time at parties than you do with me. And since when did you start keeping cigarette boxes in your bag? I'm telling you Gulf, those new friends of yours are a bad influence! Stay away from them!"

"Don't you dare talk about them that way! Who do you think you are telling me what to do when you only care for me whenever you like? I keep waiting patiently but you never come! I offer you my comfort when things don't go your way but you refuse to take them and keep everything to yourself! You never have time for us! What did you expect me to do?" His voice was breaking. And even when he was about to cry, he held back his tears to show him that he was strong enough.
