Metanoia

Chapter 14: I Found The Right You

When I take a look at my life and all of my crimes

You're the only thing that I think I got right

I'll never give you away

- Luke Hemmings (Lover of Mine)

CHAPTER 14

The hustle and the bustle. The intermittent announcements of arrivals and departures. The general atmosphere of people greeting each other in joy. Or seeing their loved ones after a long period of not seeing each other. Missing each other and finally meeting. It must have been a good feeling.

Despite the chaos all around him, Gulf found a tiny little corner and dreamed – sleepily lost in comforting mind of his own. He tapped his wrist lazily, brushing his finger over the monochrome beads on his bracelet. Every few moments, he'd look down at it and twist the cylindrical plate that carried his initials. Sometimes, it felt like this accessory connected him to the one he missed – like an invisible line between them.

It sounded a bit romantic that the 20-year-old chuckled at what his mind entertained. But the good feeling stayed.

Mew's flight was landing soon as he looked at the big white clock hanging in front of him. Gulf might have been a little too early.

When he got to the arrival hall, it surprised him how crowded the area in front of the gate was. He saw a number of girls with signs. Once he squinted and got a clear read of those yellow and pink boards, he snickered. Written were names of the 2Moons 2 cast members. Even their pictures were blown up and used as things to be waved around in the throes of fangirling. He remembered Mew telling him that his on-screen partner, Title tweeted a partially covered plane ticket with the caption, 'Krungthep, I'm coming home!'

This could explain how their fans knew when to form a horde of devoted BL lovers at the airport. A token of how popular and widely-loved the series was. Even Gulf parked himself in front of the TV when the episodes were aired.

He had never seen the first season since it didn't interest him but the hype of this one just got to him. At least, it lessened the ache in his heart seeing Mew doing his best as the chic Dr. Phana. Seeing his interactions with Title's Wayo was interesting. He was watching an adorable push-and-pull love story unfolding. Their characters were really brought to life that he forgot he knew Mew in real life at times.

He sent a number of selfies of him with Mew's face on the screen in teasing support of the older. Sometimes he'd send a snapshot of scenes he really liked with the word 'fin'. Mew absolutely loved them. The Education major wasn't biased, since he really enjoyed the plots of the other two supporting couples.

(The fact that the cast members were good-looking may be a big motivating factor.)

"Nong, this Forth guy is so handsome," Gift Tasanee Traipipattanapong sighed dreamily as she was squished against Gulf. Watching the latest 2Moons 2 episode.

Gulf's older sister, who looked like a girl version of Gulf was four years older, was an accountant who doted on her cat-eyed brother. She was Gulf's safety blanket, one he trusted the most. There were no secrets between them and she was the one who delivered all of Gulf's precious gifts to Mew Suppasit in her brother's early days' obsession of the actor.
