(Navy's POV)
The practice continues for almost 3 months before we start shooting for a few scenes. During the time, I was also busy promoting my song. But it was all worth it. Cause the hype that we receive for the series even before shooting is incredible.
I can almost see the intimate interaction between Gulf and Mew every day at the workshop. It's real. They really put everything they have for the series. And I think at some point, they are falling in love with each other without them knowing it.
"Why you guys always have to stick together like this all the time? Can you guys be apart for a while?" I tease them.
They were hugging each other and playful with each other. At first only Tild who seems to tease them a lot. But I join the club with Kun also.
Gulf was shy. He can only laugh at our comment.
"Why are you guys being so busybody? It's our thing." Mew defend themselve.
"It's your thing to do this kind of thing in public?" Tild support my teasing.
"Yes." Mew answer with a wide smile while holding tightly to Gulf body.
"This person is dangerous already." Tild continues to tease.
"Why are so jealous?" Mew asked us with a teasing smile.
"Yes, why are you jealous?" Gulf supports him also.
"Wow, you guys join and trying to defend from us already?" I asked in a pretend shocking face.
"The water drips on stone every day. It should soon leave an impact." Kun leave a somewhat cheesy comment.
"What is he talking about?" I whispered to Tild.
Tild shaking his head.
"He and his bombastic word." Tild answers me in whisper too.
I nod. Not the first-time hearing this.
"You better act properly. This is public." Tild tries to warn them.
"What if we don't?" Mew ask back with a bit laugh.
"Let them be. I have no more words to say." I surrender.
Both of them are like glue now. Always stick with each other. But it's fun to tease them because of Gulf reaction. He shies easily.
"Okay. Let us go home now." Tild also tired of this.
"You go back first. We still have some practice to do." suddenly sound serious.
But we took it for a joke. So, we were wooing about that.
"So, you had a date after this?" Kun asks with a wide smile.
"No, P'Kun. We have some scene to practice for." Gulf replies with a blushing face.
"Whatever it is, take it easy okay, buddy? Don't be so aggressive." I add the comment, and everyone start to woo again except the couple.
I am so happy to see my stars are more ready to shine in the world. For the first time in two weeks, I can get off early. John always asleep when I reached home. He must be feeling a bit bored nowadays.

"You back early today?" John asks me as soon as he enter the house.
"Yes, my practice is complete now. Workshop also done. So, now, I can go home early. It's been ages we had dinner together. So, today I decided to cook a dinner for us."
I tell John with a very big smile. I am so excited to cook for him today. I am an excellent cook by the way.
"Okay." One short word from him makes me stunted.
John goes to the room with a serious face. I am confused now. What did I do wrong now?
"John, why are you like this?" I ask him as soon as I enter the room.
He keeps untying his tie and shirt without looking at me.
"Why you silent me out? If you have anything to say, just say it to my face. I am not playing guessing game with you."
He looks at me with a mad eye. Then goes to the bathroom, ignoring my questions.
"It's okay. I'll wait for you here until you finish your shower." I said it to myself.
I sit on the bed and wait for him with a boiled anger heart. I really hate this kind of treatment. If you have anything you didn't like, just say it to my face. Don't be silent and keep the distance.
After 30 minutes of shower, the first time he showers that long, he walks out the bathroom and keep walking past me to the drawer. He ignores my stare.
I cannot hold it anymore. I gush towards him and grab his hand.
"Why are you like this? Tell me what I did?" my voice is high.
"You really don't know?"
"I really don't. You can tell me the reason."
"I'm not telling you anymore. You should know it yourself. You are big enough to know what's wrong did you do."
"Don't play this kind of game with me, John. I don't like it."
"I don't like it either when I have to tell you what you did wrong. So, this time, I'm not going to tell you. Find it out yourself."
I scorn.
"Don't be like this. I am sorry." I try another way to amend thing.
"What are you sorry for?"
"Whatever that makes you angry at me."
He makes his fed-up face.
"You don't even know what you are sorry for."
Then, he moves aside my hand and started to walk out of the room.
What have I done actually? Did i say something bad again to him? I don't think these past few weeks I have talked that much with him. I really don't know why he is like that.
I continue to serve the food on the table because everything is ready while thinking what I has possibly done. Still, no clue.
"John, dinner's ready." I called him with the sweetest voice I ever could do.
"I'm not hungry." He said while watching the TV in front of me.
"Come on. I made a lot of effort for dinner. I don't want to waste the food like that. Plus, I prepared your favorite, Pasta Aglio Special Meatball." I try to lure him with food.
"I am not hungry." He still in sulky mode.
I sighed loudly.
"Come on, baby. Please eat dinner with me. It was so hard to make all of this for you." I try to beg him with word 'baby'.
It was so hard to control my heartbeat whenever I said those word.
John still keeps his silent. I sighed again. Then, he turns off the TV and suddenly walk towards the dinner table and sit in front of me.
I smile brightly at him even though he's not looking at me.
"Eat your special dinner."
He eats silently. No chat at all. I felt so uneasy.
"Okay, I admit. I cannot find anything wrong I did. So, I'm just going to list it down for you and you can tell me which one is it. Can you do that?"
John stops his eating and look at me. He nods with a straight face.
"Okay, is it because I did not spend much time you for the past few weeks? Or because last week I called you crackhead? Or because I forgot to tell you about the time, I went to play soccer with Gulf? which one is it?"
I look at him with big eyes so that he can find me cute at this moment. He sighed loudly.
"No? None of that?" I ask again for confirmation after he keep silent while looking at me.
"Some parts of it are that." He said it with calm voice.
"Some? So, this is not about just one mistake but a whole accumulated mistake?"
He nods to my question.
"I am sorry. I don't mean to do all that. I will try to avoid doing all that again in the future. Please forgive me."
"I said that just some parts of it. There is more serious mistake you've done."
I scrunched my forehead.
"Can you tell me, please? I cook special dinner for you already. Please tell me."
He sighs then shaking his head a few times.
"You always like this. Okay, if you want to know for real. One, is that, when I go and visit you yesterday at the training studio, you were all lovey dovey with Mew and Gulf."
"What are you saying? I'm not like that."
"I saw it with my eyes that you go and play hugging with each other and everything. You seem so happy there. Maybe that's why you always come home late."
I started to smile. He is jealous. So, jealous right now.
"Why are you so negative. It was like that because we are playing. It can make us become closer. It was part of the training also. This is part of my job. You don't have to be jealous."
I try to speak calmly with a smile.
"It didn't seem like a practice to me."
I burst out a little laugh for that. Then, I move towards him and sit on his lap while facing him. He looks so cute when jealous.
"I'm sorry. But you don't have to worry. You will always be in my heart. No one will. So, you don't need to worry about that."
He breaths in a heavy air.
"Not only that, but another is bigger for me."
I make my surprise face.
"Another one? I thought finish already." I try to joke around but end up with his glare only.
"Why didn't you tell your family about us yet?"
I am a bit surprise to hear that.
"We have already agreed to do that right? I am just waiting for you to do that first, then I will do it too. Because you said you need to do it first. This afternoon, your mother calls me as usual and just asked me like nothing happen. When I asked her if you tell her anything, she said nothing important. Why?"
I feel so guilty now. We have been mutually agreed to do that. I just don't have the courage yet. But John seems so upset about it.
"I'm sorry. I don't have the courage yet."
He sighed loudly while looking away with an angry face.
"Okay, I will do it tomorrow. And I want you to come to my house with me too. How about that?"
John looks at me with a bright smile.
"Really? Are you going to do that?"
I nod with a smile.
"I will do it because I love you."
John seems surprised.
"Why?" I ask with a serious tone.
"It just that, I haven't heard that word in a really long time."
I smile with a blush face. Of course, i will not say it too often. It's too cheesy.
"I love you too" John said it with soothing voice.
Then, we kiss passionately for about a minute.
"I can taste the pasta" I said jokingly.
"Should we finish the dinner first?" I ask him while looking into his eye.
"We can finish dinner later. Let me get what I've been craving for." John said in a seductive way.
He takes me on the couch and keep kissing me on my lips, cheek and neck. It was a good feeling after a long time you didn't get it. Then, he continues to strip himself and me. We continue to not slow down on the couch. Well, it's been weeks now.
