GUN'S POV

It has been stressful juggling the studio and the coffee shop business lately. Off is there to constantly cheer me up but it's just really exhausting. I saw this one coming but I don't know, I just couldn't cope sometimes.

"P'Gun, P'Off is waiting for you downstairs" I looked into my door as Pim peeped through it. 

"I'm not even ready, I haven't gotten out of bed. Ugh, I will go check on him. Thanks Pim." I told her and dragged myself out of bed after that and freshened up. 

I did not bother to take a shower or get ready because I really don't feel like it. There is no filming scheduled today since Chimon and the other cast are needed in the industry for a themed-video they are doing. 

"What happened to you smol bean?" Off asked me. 

"I'm tired" I said and sulked like a kid as I sat beside him on the sofa. 

Off giggled and wrapped his arms around me, I hugged him back too like a teddy bear. I buried my face in his shoulders, I wanna do this all day...

"Can we cuddle all day Papii?" I asked and looked at him. 

"I want to but I need to talk to my handler Gun, I need to fix my formal goodbye to the industry" He told me. 

"You're leaving for good?" I asked and pulled away from his hug but he pulled me back.

"Yeah... but my manager said I might have to shoot a few more endorsements and one last series or movie before I finally go." He said.

"I'll visit you on set." I said and smiled. 

"We'll see." He said and gave me a smile. 

We cuddled for a few minutes until Off got messages and a call from Tay. 

"Smol bean, you need to get ready. We have to go." He said. I sighed, okay then. 

I went upstairs to my bedroom and picked out laziest outfit I could pick-out. I settled for shirt and joggers for today's look. Since I was too lazy, I didn't bring my car and Off drove us to the studio. New immediately worked with Off with some papers and consultations. 

I noticed Tay and New's cold aura that is why I decided to approach Tay about it... 

"You good? You and New doesn't seem to be doing so well?" I asked. 

"I don't know, he made a big deal of everything last night and now he's giving me the cold treatment, I'm already stressed enough to worry so much right now" He said and sighed. 

"It's gonna be okay, if you need some rest, take some, I've been exhausted as well. We all are. I gotchu when you need something okay?" I told him. 

"How are you and Off doing?" he asked me

"We're good. He might be so busy soon, he might do his farewell project to the industry." I said. 

"He's been too hardworking." Tay said. 

"I know." I said and smiled.

"Just saying... he might not have time for you." Tay pointed out. 

"I know that too... It's not happening yet, I hope it won't, but I'll figure it out when we get there. If not... I got you... right?" I said and smiled. 

"Of course, dumbass." He told me and ruffled my hair. 

"You are the dumbass in this friendship, you're that clumsy remember?" I said and teased him back. 

"Well... actually yes hahahaha, you're the drunkass" He then fired back. 

We spent a few good minutes teasing each other and calling each other names we had for each other. I know for some, it may seem offensive, but sorry, in our friendship, we rarely sugarcoat things for each other, and that makes it the best. 

It was a busy day in the studio, I asked my staff to deliver some coffee for us for a little boost in our energy because I am really tired. I wanna nap. When everybody was busy, I managed to connect two chairs and took a throw pillow from our lobby area. I managed to find a spot in the meeting room to nap, everybody else was busy so might as well take this opportunity.

"Gun... Smol bean wake up" I blinked my eyes a few times when I saw Off waking me up. 

"What time is it?" I asked when I noticed the studio was quiet.

"It's time to go home, Tay wanted to wake you up a while ago, but I told him not to. Let's go?" He asked and smiled at me.

I was half asleep when I stood up and followed Off outside that is why I didn't immediately noticed that we were not heading home yet...

"Papii, where are we going?" I asked him. 

"You sound like dora hahahaha, just relax, it's a reward for my very hard working boyfriend" He said and took my hand and held it. 

"Papii, let go of my hand you're driving" I said because how would he hold the gear shift?

"Just relax, I gotchu" He said again. 

He kept driving until we reached the rooftop restaurant. They were still open but to my surprise, he actually has a reservation on my favorite spot. 

"Dinner time, love" He said and smiled as we got seated. 

"Thank you so much Papii" I said and smiled. 

It was kind of funny because of our outfits some were looking at how casual and lazy we dressed up. There are also some of his fans taking photos, It would end up in our social medias again. Off revealed it in his posts and stories lately that we are dating but the industry is also asking him for an interview to formally address it, but Papii said he would only do it with me and if only I wanted to. 

We didn't need to really address it to the press, what they see is what they get. I know that my boyfriend is a public figure but that doesn't mean they can know everything about our relationship.

"Love, do you wanna join me in the meeting for my last projects?" He asked me while eating.

"Do you want me to?" I asked back. 

"Only if you want. So you'd know how things would go for us as well" He said and smiled. 

"Did you really wanted to quit?" I asked after a short period of silence.

His silence was longer, I know he was debating on it. He has been doing it for a while, and I see it in him even back then, he was enjoying it.

"I don't know Gun..." He said... and he called me Gun, it must be really something serious for him.

"Papii, I'm gonna support you no matter what." I said re-assuring him. 

"It's not just about me Gun... when I keep doing it, it makes me happy but it will affect everybody around me. I wouldn't have every time in this world for you, and I couldn't bare with that, I know you wouldn't be able to bare with that as well. They will always come following me and the people I love, again, you, they won't leave you alone. I know you don't want that..." He said and kind of looked away. 

"If you really wanted to do it, It's okay Papii, it's a relationship. You can't always be the one adjusting for me, it doesn't work that way" I said and reached for his hand as he places the fork he was holding down. 

"We'll see" He said and gave me a smile. 

We ended that night with happy thoughts and smiles on our faces because we stayed there a little later and we just enjoyed the view, we talked about future plans and all the travel destinations we would like to go to. We promised each other no matter how busy we're gonna get, we're not gonna let our tiredness get the best of us. 

Days went on, me and Off were having a blast with the project. He was given a show and a movie as his farewell but it won't start until a month. Me and Off spent our free times together, we went on all spontaneous dates we could have. We even found the small spots to hang out at around Bangkok. 

There were days we didn't get along just like today. He pissed me off last night when he kept calling me when I was doing a paper about my monthly report on my coffee shops, but he also sulked and until today we weren't talking to each other. 

"New it's cold" Tay said out of the blue and smirking at me. 

"I didn't know aircons could walk" New said and giggled.

I hit Tay's back and rolled my eyes at him and slipped my earphones on. I just wanted to be at peace, even though Off's presence was bothering me as well. We kept stealing glances from each other. I sighed, should I approach him? Ugh, I hate my pride. 

It was almost lunch time and I tapped on Tay's shoulder to ask him where they were eating. 

"What?" he asked me when he turned around

"Where are you eating?" I asked. 

"We're gonna have a lunch date." Tay said and gave me an apologetic smile. 

Off's phone rang and he excused himself to go outside. I sighed, where am I going to eat... I took my phone out and browsed what I could get delivered... as I was scrolling Off came back inside with a plastic bag and he placed it down and took out food containers. 

I tried to ignore him but then he slipped a container towards my direction and took out his own. I was surprised when he went back and handed me some utensils. 

"Don't skip lunch" He briefly said and went back to his side. 

Tay smiled at me and nudged my elbow. 

"New, Let's go. We're going out for lunch, we'll be right back" Tay said and pulled New out of the room. 

All the other staff were also out for their lunch break which leaves me and Off alone in this office. It was a deafening silence with Off. I don't know what to do so I just continued eating until I finished my food.

"I can't do this anymore." Off said. I watched him as he closed his food container and he made his way beside me, he pulled a chair and sat their and he made me face him. 

"I'm sorry" He said. 

We stared at each other for a long while until he slowly placed his lips to mine. I was shocked and I didn't move at first until he kept kissing me softly and I lost my control and kissed him back. The kisses were soft and passionate. We were both moving our lips in synch with the other, we we're full on making out when he stood up and pulled me up with him, he made me sit on the table and he kissed me more aggressively.

We stopped when we were both catching for our breaths. I couldn't deny the smile that formed my lips after that. 

"I guess I'm forgiven?" Papii teased me. 

"I didn't had the chance to talk" I said and giggled. 

"Well... you liked it" He smirked. 

"We have to get into security and delete that cctv recording though" I said pointing to the camera.

Before Off could give me and answer, the doors opened revealing New and Tay who just got back from lunch. I blushed when they saw us, I was still seating on the table and Off was leaning on it. 

"Are we disturbing you?" Tay immediately teased. 

"Oh no, you missed the show" I said and rolled my eyes. 

They teased us again and again throughout the day and I can say it just really ended so well. 

Days passed and we had the same routine but there was this one day that was so funny because Arm visited the studio and he asked us all to come with him to this place he discovered through the internet. We were hesitant at first and kind of worried about leaving the staffs behind but then they assured us that they can manage without our supervision so in the end we all went. 

It was a shop and restaurant infused in the photo it looked so aesthetic but we didn't know how to get there so we ended up kind of getting lost and we even arrived at an abandoned building when we thought it was the building already. It was a good scare and at the same time a good laugh. 

The project I was working with Off was also going so well. There were no delays so far and we're actually almost done in just less than a month. Today is me and Off's first monthsary. We agreed to have dinner at his condo because we wanted it to private and intimate. 

I made him a surprise box and also got him a distance bracelet, a bracelet that can be customized where there will be a pendant to tap and it will send the other person with the same bracelet an I miss you message. I know he will start filming his final projects soon and it will help a lot for the both of us. 

We won't see each other until 4 which is the time he'll pick me up here at home, I decided not to go anywhere today, to give myself a break as well. I just chilled and managed to bake some cookies as well. I decided to add the cookies as my gift to Off. 

He arrived just on time, wearing a polo shirt and jeans. I styled myself up with my designer pieces as well. I sat on the shotgun seat of his car but to my surprise... there were balloons inside his car. I smiled and he was playing LANY songs while we were heading to his condo.

Ain't never felt this way
Can't get enough so stay with me
It's not like we got big plans
Let's drive around town holding hands

The song immediately started playing as if on cue when I walked inside. He really did give an effort making it the best date we ever had. There balloons and fairy lights and even some hanged photos of us.

And you need to know
You're the only one, alright alright
And you need to know
That you keep me up all night, all night

He led me into the table set-up in his living room. There was a separate table where our food are placed just beside the dining set-up we have. 

Oh, my heart hurts so good

"I love you, babe, so bad, so bad" Off sang along with the song. 

"Cheers to a month of happiness and to a lot more smol bean" He said when we sat down. 

We clinked our wine glasses and took a sip from it.
