Joss wakes up before Gawin. He's an early riser. At home, he would always wake up early and work out, but as he's at Gawin's home, he decided to sleep in but couldn't do so. He turned his body towards Gawin's side. He was still sleeping peacefully. Joss stares at his face for a while, admiring his soft features without even noticing that he's actually afmiring. He stares at his soft eyebrows, the long eyelashes down to his nose and lips shaped perfectly downstairs, where he's greeted by the couple who are busy preparing breakfast for them.

" Good morning, Big J ." Gawin's mother greets him .

" Good morning ." Joss smiles .

" Take a seat there, son . The food is almost done ." Gawin's dad shouts from the kitchen .

" My husband is excited that u are here . He even insisted on preparing the breakfast himself ." Gawin's mother chuckle .

" How come u guys know that I'm here ?" Joss asks, confused .

" We saw the car at the front, so we guessed ." She replied .

" Oh , right ." Joss said, followed with a soft smile .

" Had a good sleep ?" She asks him .

" Yes ." He replied .

" Good . The breakfast is almost ready . Just wait for a while, na son ." She walks towards the kitchen .

Joss looks her way until she's completely out of sight . He then gets up and walks upstairs back to Gawin's room . He opened the door and saw Gawin still sleeping peacefully . He walks closer to him and kneels down by the side of the bed in front of Gawin's face .

He bends his head down a bit and takes a closer look at Gawin . After staring at his face for a while, he extends his hands, and his thumb slightly traces against Gawin's eyelashes, making Gawin twitch his eyes until he opens it slowly .

Joss slightly moves back and puts on a smile . " Hey , good morning ." He greeted him, still kneeling on the floor . Gawin replies, closing his eyes again .

" Good morning ." Gawin slightly opens his eyes again , " Why are u kneeling on the floor ? Did u do something wrong ?" Gawin turns his body and lay flat relaxing his body .

" No...well, I just came to tell u that breakfast is ready ." Joss stutters .

Gawin wakes up fully and gets down from the bed while Joss watches his every action without changing his position and still kneeling down . Gawin walks closer to him and taps on his shoulder .

" Whatever it is , I forgive u, so get up ." Gawin said before walking away .

" Hey ! But I didn't do anything, man ." Joss complains, following behind Gawin .

" OK, ok ." Gawin gestures his hand .They both walk down . The breakfast is set on the table .

" Good morning, Baby G ." Gawin's mom greets Gawin with a smile . " Big J , come come , sit here ." She gestures her hand on the seat opposite to her . Joss takes a seat, and Gawin sits beside him .

" I don't know if it will be good or not, but eat a lot na son ." Gawin's dad said with a big smile .

" Kub , thank u so much, kub ." Joss wai both of them before taking a bite . He chews on the bacon first, followed by the sunny sideup while both the couple stares at him intently to know his reaction. Joss looks up and show them staring at him without uttering anything while Gawin just sigh .

" It's good, kub ." Joss said, and both the couple claps . Gawin's dad high five his wife .

" Don't mind us, na son . Well, it's just that Gawin has never brought a friend home before . This is the first time and I have always wanted to cook for his friend ." Gawin's dad explains with a smile .

" I don't mind at all, kub ." Joss smiles and nods his heads .

" Eat a lot na son . So u can grow more muscles ." Gawin's dad shows his fist .

" Kub ." Joss smiles .

" Can we eat now ? " Gawin looks up from his plate and asks his parents with an annoyed face .

" We can , we can ." Both of the couple replies in unison with a laugh .

They both finished having breakfast and got ready for class . Joss borrowed Gawin's shirt for the day, and they set off for the class .

On the way , Joss took a turn on the road that doesn't lead to the university . Gawin, even though he's not really familiar with the road but he knows the way to the university, so he looks at Joss confused .

" Where are we going ? The uni is that side, isn't it ?"

" We are stopping by somewhere first ." Joss answers him .

" Where ?"

" You'll know when we reach there ."

On the way , Joss stops the car for a while near a florist and buys some fresh daisy . After some time, they reach the destination. They both get down . Joss walks inside while Gawin looks up the building.

" Hospital..." Gawin murmers .

" Follow me, G ." Joss calls out from some distance . Gawin walks towards him .

" Why are we at the hospital? Are u hurt somewhere ? Are u feeling sick ?" Gawin asks Joss, following him from behind . Joss just keeps on walking silently . They take the lift and get off on the 5th floor .

Joss keeps walking silently , Gawin also follows him without saying anything . Joss stops in front of a room and waits for Gawin to reach there first before going in. When Gawin is beside him , he opens the door and lets Gawin enter first and him entering after.

Gawin walks inside to see a lady lying on the bed unconscious. From one glance, he could tell that she's Joss mother. Joss walks up to him from behind .

" Told u . I would let u meet my parents also ." Joss walks past him with the bunch of fresh daisy in his hands . He took out the withered daisy flower from the flower pot next to the bed and put the fresh ones.

'Joss got fresh daisy for mom na .' Joss talks to his mom . He hints Gawin to move in closer . ' Mom , he is Gawin . Joss's new friend from university .' Joss introduces him .

' Swaddee kub .' Gawin greets her .

' Mom , today Joss couldn't come earlier . Don't be angry with Joss na mom . Tomorrow Joss will come early for sure .' Joss talks to her mom, holding her hand . Gawin stood still looking at Joss with a soft smile.

They stayed at the hospital for some more minutes and came out as they got class . On the way to the parking lot, Gawin walks up to Joss as he's walking faster than usual .

" What's the rush ? Why are u walking so fast ?"

" Cause we need to stop by somewhere before heading to the uni ."

" Again ?" Gawin asks while Joss opens the door .

" Yes again ." Joss closes the door for him and walks up to his seat, and they both hit the road .

" Where are we going this time ?" Gawin asks softly.

" Somewhere that smells nice but not as nice as u ." Joss winked at him .

" Stop with ur flirting ." Gawin frowns while Joss smiles back at him .

After driving around some corners , Joss stops the car in front of a perfume shop .

" A perfume shop ?" Gawin looks at the shop and back at Joss with a ' for real ' look in his face .

" Yeah ." Joss said and got down the car . " Come on , we still have class, and we don't wanna be late, do we ?" Joss gestures with his hands .

" I don't understand u at all ."

" Soon u will ." Joss winks at him once again .

They both walk inside the shop . Just as they step inside, the smell of flowers mixed with vanilla hits their nose .

" See, I told u , this place smells nice ." Joss starts walking around . Gawin follows him while at the same time looking around the place . The place was filled with perfumes in different colours and bottles, all looking expensive.

Joss stops walking when they reach the mid section and turns around to face Gawin. Gawin also stops walking and starts checking around the scent of the perfume .

" Oh, this smells like lavender ." Gawin picks up a perfume, spray some on the testing paper, and smell it .

" Um, it's lavender ." Joss says, looking at Gawin, who is still enjoying the scent of the perfume ." Now tell me which perfume do u like?" Joss asks suddenly.

" Hm? Perfume?" Gawin looks at him confused.

" Um, look around and choose the one u like? I'm gonna use the one u like." Joss raised one of his eyebrows with a smile .

" Why are u treating me like a lover or something?" Gawin folds his hands, squinting his eyes.

" I just want to smell good, that's all." Joss, laugh it off even though he has never done something like this before with anyone not even with the ones he dated before.

"I'm not really good with this kind of thing." Gawin answers back at him, looking around.

" It's completely fine with me. Just choose the one u like." Joss puts his hands on his waist.

" Ok, don't blame me later." Gawin reply.

" No way, I will use whatever u like."

" Is that so ? Then, this one." Gawin pulls out an Amber scent perfume. Joss takes the perfume. " This one it is." He walks towards the counter without a second thought.

" Huh? Just like that? Didn't even check it." Gawin shook his head. They came out of the store.

" Why are u even buying a perfume? Just take a bath regularly, and u won't smell bad. Look at me, I take a bath regularly, unlike u."

" What did u say ? Unlike me ? Bro, I also take a bath regularly, ok ?"

" Good for u ." Gawin takes a look at Joss from the side of his eye and walks off . " Can we go now?"

" Don't give me a side eye?"

" My business."

" Hey !"

They bicker lightly with each other the whole journey before reaching their uni.

" Let's stop ok. Enough. I'm fed up arguing with u." Gawin gets down the car.

" Do u think I enjoy it?" Joss replies while Gawin rolls his eyes.

" Don't know when did we get so close to even argue like this?" Gawin murmers walking off the parking lot towards the building. Joss follows him from behind. " Hey, wait for me, G."

" Come on, quick! We will be late for class." Gawin waits for Joss to catch up with him before walking together in a rush.

" It's all ur fault if we get scolded today." Gawin says, taking fast steps.

" I didn't complain." Joss replies.

" Haha, funny." Gawin replied sarcastically. Joss smiles softly, looking towards Gawin, who is definitely annoyed . "Cute..." Joss smirks and follows Gawin, who's definitely not in the mood to even talk.
