HIS eyes slowly open up, chasing the blurred vision away. John's head is feeling heavy and his body is exhausted. But, he tries his best to open his eyes and start to get the clear sight. Slowly, he notices that he is holding someone's hand.
Navy, with his eyes fully shut and laying his body next to John, is holding the hand while looking peacefully asleep. John stares at Navy for a while, trying to remember what had happened last night but all he could remember is a flash of light and he go into dark.
At this moment, he remembers that Navy is breaking with him. Suddenly, a heavy-sad-crumbling feeling flows in his heart. His eyes are watery and he stares deep at Navy. All the feelings he had lost before, comes into heart and mind.
He tighten his grasp and get his face close to Navy. Why did he suddenly get this feeling back? Where did he lost if before? It doesn't matter because right now, at this moment, all he knows, for sure, is he loves Navy more than he could ever be.
What happen to him? Why did he does all that to Navy? Oh god, he is not willing to let Navy goes at all. Navy is part of him. With him gone, John will be gone too. John kisses Navy's forehead with a long-passionate-full-of-love one.
"I'm sorry.." He whispers it with a cracked voice.
The tears starts to fall slowly as he imagines how bad it must be for Navy to feel all that. But, it is also making him more sad is that the fact that he will be losing Navy soon. He is so sorry for what he did. He remembered all of it.
The way he treated Navy, the way he ignored Navy, all just come back in his mind and it is just so heartbreaking to remember all of it without being able to do anything about it now. Well, let just this last kiss be remembered by him forever.
He is not going to give Navy any pleading or explanation as he hurt so much by what he has done to him these past few weeks. He had a change of heart and it is not fair for him to stop Navy from leaving now just because he suddenly felt the love again.
Navy, I love you so much. I am so sorry for everything. I don't know what happen to me, but I am so sorry. I love you now, in the future and forever.
He closes his eyes and the kiss goes on for as long as he can feel. Actually, he hoped that it will last forever like this because he didn't dare to go through the next step.
"Why do you kiss me so long? Aren't you tired?"
Navy's voice makes John startled and looks at Navy with a confused face.
"I'm awake for a while but just want to lie down here with you." with a peaceful face, Navy said it.
"Navy.." John at loss for words. Navy didn't seem angry. He seems very peaceful and intimate; like he always has been.
Navy gets himself comfortable in John's hug and lays down his chin on John's chest while looking particularly smiley and happy. "John, I love you."
John froze up. Did he really heard it right? Is this a dream? Navy just said that he loved him. "Na..Nav..Navy?" John seems confused.
"Yes, John. It's me."
"But, didn't last night.." before John could finish his stuttered words, Navy cuts him off. "Yes, we were breaking up last night. But, then suddenly, you fainted and I took care of you." He explained with a very calm face.
"So.. are we.. already.. not.. a.. couple?" John, hesitantly asked the question with a very anxious-scared face.
"No, we are still a couple."
"Huh?" John is really making that sound and weird face. He didn't understand anything at all right now.
Navy smiles at starts to sneakily touch John's lips and chin. "Well, last night, after I put you on bed, you started to scream my name and begging me to not leave you. At first, I thought it all just like pretend, but then when I tried so hard to wake you up, you still didn't wake up. So I thought, it must be true then. All of what you said last night are true. So, I have decided not to break up with you."
"Really?" John asks with crunchy forehead.
"What? Did you not mean anything at all last night?" Navy sounds tense as his head lifts up.
"No.. I am really in love with you. I am sorry for everything." John gets nervous and lift his head close to Navy while trying to hold Navy's shoulder with one hand. "I really meant it. I love you and I don't want to lose you at all. Please don't break up with me."
Navy smiles at John and gracefully touches John's cheek. "I know that. Can we just forget everything and start with our lives? I don't want us to remember this time anymore." Navy said it with sweet smile.
"I'm glad that you forgave me and want to move on from this with me. Thank you so much, Navy. I love you. You know that right?"
Navy nods. "Yeah, I know". He gets out of the bed with a big smile, stand up and looks at John. "How about we get ready for breakfast? I'm hungry." Navy starts to walk away to get his towel, hanging near to the window.
John smiles as he watches Navy's body moving around. "Navy.." His calling makes Navy stops at the bathroom door and turn his face to John.
"About Heart, actually the text is just to say she is thankful for the date she had. I set her up with my friend and she had a great time with him. That's all its about." He explained to Navy, to clear things up.
Navy smiles. "I know. I trust you." Navy said it and walks into the bathroom after John release a very relieved sigh.
Navy goes to the mirror and suddenly he looks sullen. He puts his hand on the bathroom sink and just stares at the mirror for a very long time. He bites his lips and his fist becomes shaky, like he is holding some anger.
Of course he is. What exactly happen last time, comes in and flashing in his memory, every bit of it.
After he put John on bed, the beads are still glowing and Navy cannot detach it from him. Suddenly, John's body starts to glow and after a while, a shining-smoke-body-alike come out of John's body. It looked like John; by the proportion of the body but it has no clear physical features like face.
"What are you?" Navy asked in disbelief and shocked while standing at the edge of the bed.
"I am a nothing. I was sent here for him." The smoke-body-alike starts to speak with its high-pitched-cracked-in-pain voice.
"Nothing? What are you actually and why are you sent here for him?" Navy try to brave himself now, although he is very scared.
"I am just following my master's order." It said again but with a very pain voice. It struggles on top of John, floating there and not moving anywhere.
Navy sighs. It didn't answer any of his questions. "Who is your master and what is the order?" Navy just asked any continued question at this moment.
"You don't know her. She is a powerful warrior. I only follow her order to get into his body and manipulate his feeling."
Navy is not getting any clear explanation. The more this thing explained, the more questions pop out in his mind. "I don't understand."
"This man is very in love with you. I need to make him think that he doesn't love you anymore by manipulating his mind and heart. My task is only to break you two."
"Why? Why would your master want to break us apart?" Navy's face tenses up.
"I cannot tell you anything. I will not betray my master. The beads, it's making me saying the truth. I will not betray my master. I'm willing to die for my master." The smoke-body-alike starts to wail loudly. Suddenly, it disappear like a smoke gotten blown by wind.
Navy keeps asking himself who is the master? Why did the master messing up with John? He really doesn't understand a thing now but what is clear is that someone want to break him and John apart.
He looks at the beads given by grandma Nenda. This bracelet is the one making the thing out from John's body. "What is exactly this bead is? Why it hold such a great power? Is grandma Nenda actually... the voice that has been talking to me before?"
Navy keeps asking the question in the bathroom. He really needs to find the answer to all this, and he must start with grandma Nenda because the bracelet is from her.

"HAPPY birthday to you!!" Everyone in the house, celebrating the 62th birthday of Gulf's uncle, is shouting almost harmoniously.
Mew was invited by Gulf's parent to join this family event and, as their future son in law, Mew accepted the invitation without any hesitation. Gulf a bit worried after Mew told him that he will be coming together to Uncle Frake's birthday.
He didn't feel ashamed about Mew dating him at all. For Gulf, love is love, no gender or any aspects could define it. He knows he loved Mew so damn hard. So, he would not hide Mew from anyone, even to his family member.
"Mew, if you need just tell me. Our family is very big. So, you might feel a bit awkward." Mrs. Thanawut with her undeniably warmth motherhood smile and fondness, said to him.
"Thanks, Mrs Thanawut." Mew said with a smile. "No, how many times I told you to call me mom." Mrs. Thanawut slaps lightly on Mew hand.
Mew laughs and nod at Mrs. Thanawut. "Okay, mom."
"Good boy. Now, I will be there. Just come to me if you need anything." Mrs. Thanawut leaves Mew after saying it.
Mew sees Gulf standing at the table getting a drink. He walks closer to him.
"Your family seem very close to each other." Mew said to Gulf, while taking some of the cupcakes on the table. Gulf smiles beamingly at his boyfriend.
"Yeah, we all are close. My uncle is alone after his wife died. He had no children. So, usually, on his birthday, all family members will gather here." Gulf explained while looking at his uncle, surrounded by kids and people his own age, at the chair.
"His lucky to have this kind of family." Mew sound a bit sad.
Gulf looks at Mew with a damp eye. He knows Mew is only child in the family. He had no uncle or aunty or big family like Gulf. The only family Mew had is his mom. That is why, Gulf will not Mew and his mom be separated, no matter what.
He gracefully touches Mew's shoulder. "Well, now you are lucky to have me, P'Mew. My parent also like you. They treated you like their own son, you know." Gulf tries to make Mew feel at ease.
Mew smiles back while touching Gulf hand on his shoulder. "Thanks, Gulf. I know you are my family now. You are part of me."
Gulf blushes at Mew sweet words. He still get blushes even after so long been with Mew. Maybe that is why every day he feel more and more in love with Mew.
"Let's go outside. Too many people in here. I saw more food outside." He asked Mew to join, to avoid from Mew seeing him getting all blushed again.
Mew followed Gulf cute-step all the way to outside. There were many foods there too. Some kids are playing with soap bubble while chasing each other. Men and women their age chatting each other at some corner, trying to reminisce their childhood together after a few years not catching up.
"You have so many family members." Mew said again while looking at Gulf.
Gulf laugh. "Some of them are not family member, just close friend or old neighbor to my uncle. I don't even know those people that my cousin talking to." Gulf pointed at a group of men, around his age, chatting so intensely not far from them.
"P'Gulf.." Gulf turns his head towards the voice. A 15 year old girl, with ponytail wearing pink shirt and short jean, is looking at them with a wide smile.
"Jenny, why?" Gulf sound friendly and his face showing warmth towards the girl.
"Can I know your boyfriend?" Jenny straightforwardly asked. Mew and Gulf a bit flustered. They didn't know if Gulf's parent told anyone yet about them.
"Jenny, how did you know?" Gulf asked with awkward smile. "I saw how you look at him, P'Gulf. I also just saw your series together with him just now after my sister told me that you two were in it. Actually, my parent didn't allow me to watch the series because I'm still underage but my sister showed me anyway." She explained with her cute voice and face.
Mew smiles at her. "I'm Mew. Gulf's boyfriend." Mew introduced himself without Gulf doing it. Gulf smiles beamingly at the word boyfriend. "Hi, I'm Jenny, P'Gulf's cousin."
"Oh, cousin. That is why you are so pretty." Mew praised the little girl. As usual, he is full of sweet words to others.
The girl chuckles a bit with blushing cheek. "P'Mew, you are so handsome." Jenny also returned his praise. Mew laugh at how cute Jenny reaction is.
"So, you guys really love each other?" both Mew and Gulf look at each other at the question before they nod with smile. "You guys are so suited for each other. Like match made from heaven."
"Thank you for your kind words, Jenny. Well, if that the case, you must be an angel from heaven." Mew kept his smiling with sweet words.
Jenny laugh at the comment. "Thanks, P'Mew. I hope you too can be together forever." She said it with sparkling eyes. "Well, us too." Mew replied then laugh together.
Suddenly, a woman in her fourty, called Jenny to get inside. "P'Mew, P'Gulf, I have to go. See you guys later." She said and hurriedly run to her mom.
"She is cute. I think your family member is cute like you." Mew said while looking at Gulf.
Gulf makes his fed up eye with Mew. This guy always called him cute. He never thought of himself as cute. More like manly actually. (yeah right, Gulf~~)
"Gulf, long time no see." The man who Gulf showed just now as his cousin, come and said it to him, abruptly.
"Hi, P'Long. How are you?" Gulf said with a bit flustered voice. He rarely talks to this man even though they are related. He also doesn't know why he feels uncomfortable every time Long tried to talk with him.
"I'm good. Who is this?" He asked, with a rude gesture. The man is wearing a black cap with brown shirt and jumpy jeans.
"He is my boyfriend." Gulf answered without hesitation then look at Mew. Something feels off with Long voice and stare.
"Boyfriend? What are you? Gay?" He makes a hateful face while saying it.
"P'Long, don't be rude." Gulf warned Long with a very angry face.
Long just smiles at Gulf angry face. "You cannot find any women out there until you chose to be gay, Gulf?" Long said it rudely.
Mew veins popped up on his forehead, suppressing his anger. How rude is this guy to come and just insult them like that.
"Look, if you want women, just tell me. I can introduce you to any women you want. But, you don't have to choose this guy and be gay. It is so disgusting." Long continued his hateful remarks.
"P'Long, don't be so close minded. Love is love no matter what. I love him." Gulf defended his love, even he should not bother to do so in front of this guy.
"I don't know what's your problem is with gay people, but I don't think you should come and insult people like this. It is very rude." Mew also added his comment after being quite for some time.
"You, shut up!" Long pointed his finger at Mew while saying that. "I don't want to talk to a disgusting person like you. Never speak to me." He added.
Mew tries his best to stay calm. He knows there are many people like Long outside but he never thought that he will encounter such people face to face like this.
"P'Long! You don't cross the line here. He is my boyfriend! Don't be rude!" Gulf started to shout. His angry face really showing now.
Due to sudden loud music playing, not so many people there could hear Gulf's shouting. Some people are just stare at them with a curious face but most of people didn't even notice that they are arguing right now.
"Look, Gulf. As your family, I will advice you to stop all this disgusting thing and do thing like normal person. What happen to you? You used to date lot of chicks before." Long continued without seem to take Gulf warning seriously.
"I don't need to explain anything to people like you." Gulf tried to put the conversation down. He didn't want to hear any word coming out from Long's mouth again.
"Well, you will regret to having this disgusting behavior in your life later." He added again without listening to Gulf's intention. "When that time come, don't say that I didn't remind you. Leave that disgusting faggot." He leaves as he said it with laughter at the end.
Mew burns up inside his heart. He never feels insulted like this before. He looks intensely at Long who is walking towards his friend with a satisfied smile.
Suddenly, Mew pupil turns to green. His hair starts to show a line grey from inside, not visible to Gulf who is standing next to him.
Long suddenly starts to have difficulty to breathe. He feels something stuck inside his throat and starts to struggle while rolling on the sand. His friends start to panic and try to calm him down but Long only put both of his hand on his neck while his face looks so much in pain.
Gulf looks at Long with a weird face. Many people start to come and see Long who is still struggling on the floor. "P'Mew, what happen to P'Long?" Gulf asked while curiously looking at Long.
"P'Mew, what.." He stopped his word after seeing Mew green eyes and a stray of hair grey. "P'Mew, what' wrong?" Gulf touches Mew shoulder in instant.
Mew, like being awaken, confusedly looks at Gulf. His green eyes and grey hair vanish just like that. Gulf a bit flustered but he is loss at word. "Why Gulf?" He asked Gulf in a daze.
"P'Mew.." Gulf cannot continue his word. He still remembers the green eyes and grey line hair.
Long suddenly starts to relax a bit and the music stopped by someone. He looks tired. His friends hurriedly bring him inside the house.
"What happen to Long, Gulf?" Mew asked with a confused face.
It seems Mew didn't realize at all what has happened. Furthermore, did Mew do that to Long just now? How did he do it? What happen actually to Mew and Long just now? Gulf keeps his eyes locked at Mew while thousands of questions run in his mind. But he couldn't say it out loud.

IT has been a week since the incident at the birthday party, but Gulf didn't say or ask anything about what has happened on that day to Mew. He convinces himself that he must be hallucinating because it is impossible for Mew to have green pupils and grey line hair like that.
He started to focus more on his work and lead a normal daily with Mew as usual. Like today, he attended an event for him at this mall. He finished the event and taking a rest at the backstage waiting for Navy to come.
Navy told him yesterday that he will also have an event at this mall but different venue. They are planning to go back together as Navy said his manager had some urgent matter to attend today. So, he can only send Navy to the event.
"What are you doing, Gulf?" Navy's voice heard at the moment Gulf starts to close tightly.
"I'm about to sleep. Luckily, you come. Otherwise, I already sleep and won't hear you."
Navy laughs and sits next to Gulf at the make-up room. "You are a very heavy sleeper. Must be tough for you, Lucky." He said to Lucky who sits at the other corner of the room.
"Have you finished your work?" Gulf asked Navy, ignoring his teasing.
"Yeah. But can we rest here for a bit? I'm a bit tired." Navy said with down voice.
Gulf looks at him with wrinkled forehead. "I thought you said that you and John are already okay. Is something wrong again?"
Navy sighs. He didn't know how to tell Gulf the stories. He holds everything inside his heart alone. How John was used and manipulated.
"Me and John are fine. We are back to normal. It just I'm a bit tired. That's all." He replied, half-heartedly.
Gulf didn't buy it at all. "Then, you can rest in the car. Let's go." Gulf rushes Navy. They stand up almost at the same time.
"Hi, you guys." Heart appears with John standing next to her, holding a bouquet of flowers. Navy and Gulf look weirdly at Heart.
John walks towards Navy with a beaming smile, handing the flowers to him. "This is for you, Navy." He said and kisses Navy on the cheek.
Navy blushes but react normal. He takes the bouquet from John. "This is for what, John?" Navy asked while looking at the flower.
"Just a surprise for you. Your manager didn't come today, so I take my time and come to pick you up. On the way here, I saw this beautiful flower and thought of you. So, I bought it." John looked happy.
Navy smiles. "You don't need to do this. I already told Gulf that I will go back with him today."
"Well, sorry, Gulf. I'm taking my boyfriend home today." John said to Gulf with very wide smile.
"Yeah, just take him away. Far away." Gulf teased Navy.
"You little scoundrel." Navy swore at Gulf. Both Gulf and John are laughing at that.
"But, why.." Navy looks at Heart while didn't finish his words.
"Oh, Heart just want to tag along when I told her I want to come and pick you up today." John explanation created more question and suspicious inside Navy's heart.
"Navy, I've been meaning to meet you and explain myself about what exactly happen between me and John. It is all just a misunderstanding." Hearts started to talk while walking closer to them.
"Heart, John already explained everything to me. You don't have to do that anymore. I believe in him." Navy stopped her.
"Then, thank you so much for believing in us. I don't want you to think less of me." She smiles sweetly at Navy.
Navy still didn't feel at ease around Heart. He always makes his guard up whenever she's around. "Don't worry. Everything is good." He assured her.
John smiles and hugs Navy. "That is why I love you so much, Navy." He said it, ignoring all the eyes that are looking at them.
Heart eyes look displeased and her sweet smile and face disappearing. "Well then, I will be taking my leave now." She said it with her sweet smile back.
John turns his face. "Okay, Heart. Thanks for trying to explain to Navy." He said it while holding Navy's shoulder, tightly.
"No problem. I don't want you guys to fight just because of me. Now, everything is resolved so I will go. It's great seeing you guys. Gulf, be safe." She walks away in hurried.
Gulf frowns his forehead at the 'be safe' part. Why suddenly Heart says that?
Hearts walks in a very displeasing look towards her car in the parking lot. She looks really angry and grumpy. However, after a while, she starts to sense that someone is following her. She stops her step and smiles, devilishly.
"Who are you?" She asked without turning her head. After a moment of silent, she closes her eyes.
She opens her eyes in shock. "Is that you, Aid?" She turns her back and sees Lucky, standing in front of her, wearing a long black coat, white hair, blue eyes and face, shine like marble.
"Lucky?" She asked with a shocked face then starts to chuckle in disbelief. "So, you are Lucky now, Aid?" Heart asked question with an evil smile.
"It was you all along, Heart. I didn't know that you will be here." Lucky said with crystal eyes. He looks to have tears in his eyes.
"How long have you been in this world? What are you doing here, Aid?" She asked him with a serious face.
"I've been here all along since day one. My job here is to protect Gulf and Mew at all costs. What about you?" Lucky said it with calm voice.
"I'm just awakened by my master not long ago. It seems that this world doesn't know about our world yet, Aid. And I will make sure that my master will make them know it."
Lucky leaves a heavy breath. "Is it all worth it, Heart? After what happened to our world? Do you still want to serve that monster?"
Heart looks angry. "What happen in our world is not my master fault. It is Gulf and Mew's fault. And what happen to me, is your fault. I'm trying to repay what you guys have done to me and our world."
"No, Heart. I'm trying to save you." Lucky's voice sound shaky.
"Save me? Because of you, I lost everything!" she shouted at him.
Then, her pupils turn to green, and hair turn to scarlet. "Have you forgot what happen to me, Aid? Or should I call you Lucky now?" She said it while her dress suddenly changes to white dress with long coat. She looks totally different now.
"I never forget about what happen to you, Heart. But, trust me, it's not me who did it." Lucky tries to defend himself.
Heart hushes at him, fiercely. "I don't want to hear you anymore, Lucky. My job is to follow my master's order. I don't need your explanation."
"Heart.." Lucky seem to loss at words.
"Tell me, who else from our world is here."
Lucky keep his silent. He doesn't know Heart intention, but he will never reveal it to Heart.
"I know Navy is one of us. But he confused me. He is not a hundred percent from our world, but he has the mark. Besides, I cannot seem to harm Gulf at all. What did you do, Lucky? " She asked again but only left with silent.
"Answer me!" She screamed her lung out. Lucky didn't even move an inch.
"Then, I have to force you, Lucky. I need you to tell me everything!" She looks intensely at Lucky.
A red flame appears on her hand, and she throws it at Lucky but is washed away with blue flames by Lucky from his hand.
"You don't have to do this, Heart." Lucky said after the attacked was dismissed.
Heart looks pissed off. She starts to throw multiples flames at Lucky but is defended by Lucky without fail. "I don't want to hurt you, Heart. Stop it now!" Lucky yelled at Heart.
Heart takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself down. She smiles at Lucky. "Well, if you must know, I know someone from our world that will help me finish the job. You can try and try to protect Gulf, but it is his destiny to die anyway."
Lucky seems shocked. "What do you mean? Who is that?" He asked with a curious voice.
She smiles. "John. He is in the process of realizing himself now. I will make sure that he will Gulf and our world will be back to normal."
Lucky surprised again. "John?"
"Yes, John. That is why I'm always with him. I will make him realizes that he is one of my clans and it is his job to get back our world." Heart smiles devilishly at him.
"Heart, you can't.." Lucky didn't finish his word when he heard someone is walking towards them. It was Gulf, John and Navy walking together.
Heart disappears without noise when Lucky turned his head to her. He changes his appearance to normal. "Lucky, there you are." John called him, few meters from him.
"Where did you go? Suddenly disappear like that. Didn't answer your call too." Gulf asked with weird face.
"Oh, I have some emergency phone call just now and was about to call you to come to the car. But you are already here." He said with an awkward laugh.
"Well, Gulf don't have to come with us. You can drive him." John said with a smile and wink at Navy.
Navy shakes his head at John flirtation. "Gulf, you can go back now. It's quite a tiring day for both of us. Get some rest." Navy said with a calm voice.
"Okay, see you later, Navy." Gulf said and walked together with Lucky to the car.
Lucky drives Gulf to the house and drop a few things at the home too. Then, he walks toward to the parking lot at the apartment to go this car. From afar, he presses the key to open the car. His mind is full of question about Heart at the moment.
He opens the door. "Lucky." He stopped his movement and turn his back. Navy is standing there with a serious face.
"Navy, what's wrong?" Lucky asked after closed the door and walks towards Navy.
"What are you doing here?" He asked again after Navy silently stare at him.
"Tell me the truth." Navy firmly said it.
Lucky frowns his forehead. "What are you talking about, Navy?" He looks confused.
"I saw you and Heart just now. Who are you guys? What exactly happen? Tell me the truth, Lucky." Navy said without moving an inch of his body while stare at Lucky.
Sweats start to appear on Lucky forehead. He takes a deep breath. It's time for Navy to know everything. He cannot seal this forever.
