Newt's POV
I looked for Mean everywhere, even his friends don't know where he is located. I texted and called him so many times but there's no answer from him.
I don't know what's happening. I am fucking lost.
Newt never felt guilty, because he doesn't know that he had been caught cheating by Mean. He was just totally lost.
Mean's POV
I can't afford to see his face anymore. He knows me more than I know myself, I have no idea why he did that, am I being possessive? am I missing something? I did what I need to do.
He knows me even my dark secrets. He knows that I can't trust anybody easily, because of that secret. I breakdown the walls I built for so many years just for him because I trusted him so much, to the point that I gave myself to him.
I am not just enough. I should have not to trust him, now I'm getting hurt and I'm suffering alone.
For two months of staying in Canada, Mean did nothing but to stay at his place, eat, sleep, text his mon and Aki, and look for things that can distract him.
*Ding* It was his room bell.
"Who's that?", Mean is wondering because he doesn't know anyone from the place because he's just new there.
Mean walked to open door still wondering who is it, and right before he was about to open it, there is the second bell.
*Ding*
"Coming", Mean shouted to make sure the person outside will hear him.
When he opened the door, he saw a guy standing in front of him. He is tall, has fair skin, brown eyes, and kissable lips. Yes, just like his ex-boyfriend Newt. Mean was surprised, he saw someone that reminds him of Newt. For a while he is silent.
"Hi! I'm the person living in the next room", the guy softly speaks just like he is taming Mean.
But Mean didn't respond because he still shocked.
"Hi?"
The guy is confused.
"I brought a snack for you", he added.
But still, Mean can't speak.
"By the way, I am-"
But right before he finished speaking, Mean silenced him.
"Stop", Mean said.
"Shhhh", he put his right pointer finger to the guy's mouth trying to shut him up.
*creak* Mean slowly close the door.
The guy is so confused.
"That was weird?!", and then he sighed.
Mean, seated at the floor back of his front door and processing what he just saw. They don't look exactly the same but some characteristics were undeniably present there.
A lot of time thinking, he finally collected his consciousness, and now, he is embarrassed about what he did, it was rude and weird.
"OH MY HOLY COW", Mean shouted with cringe to himself.
He thinks of what he should do next, but nothing came out to his mind. He just thought that he came to Canada to think not to have friends, he just needs to say sorry to that guy.
But how? He didn't even get his name. All he knows is "he lives in the next room". But what next room? There are seven rooms on his floor.
He decided to go room to room looking for that guy.
In the first room, he ringed the bell. Someone opened the door.
"Oh Hi! Good morning. I am looking for a guy, tall, has fair skin, brown eyes. Does he lives here?"
"Oh sorry Mr., but no, maybe what you are talking about is the guy from that room", the lady pointed the room in front of hers.
"Oh really, thanks and sorry for disturbing you", Mean smiled and leave.
Mean is about to ring the bell, but someone opened the door, it's the guy he's looking for.
"Oh, it's the weird guy", the anonymous guy laughed after calling Mean "weird guy".
"Uhm, about what happened earlier, I'm really sorry about that. I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just shocked", Mean urgently replied.
"It's fine, I know I'm good looking, it's normal", the guy replied jokingly.
Mean is disappointed.
"Tsk, this is guy is full of himself", Mean told to himself.
Mean just laughed as a reply.
"Just kidding, by the way, I am Ziek", the guy finally introduced himself to Mean.
"I am Mean, I just came here to have a vacation", Mean replied.
"Hahaha, you don't need to introduce yourself, I know you", Ziek said.
But how this guy knew Mean? He never saw Ziek in his whole life? Is he a stalker? Maybe he did wrong for approaching him.
"But how? I don't know you?", Mean is confused and slightly creeped out.
"I'm your batchmate in Highschool, I know you will not remember me because you didn't even know me back then. I just saw you here so I thought I should approach you", Ziek said.
"Really? I'm sorry if I don't know you", Mean is surprised and a bit shy because he didn't know who is Ziek even if he attended the same school as him
"No, it's fine. Wanna hang out later at the lobby?", Ziek invited Mean.
"My treat", he added.
"Uhm", Mean is hesitant.
"If you really want to apologize, come with me", Ziek cornered Mean with that.
Now Mean can't do anything but to agree.
"Okay, see you later at 7 downstairs", Mean uttered.
"Sure, I'm gonna go first", Ziek left and waved his hand to Mean.
Mean smiled and started walking towards his room. When he entered his room, he urgently texted Aki to ask if he knows someone named Ziek back in highschool.
"Biiiiiitch"
"Yes??"
"I have something to ask"
"Go for it"
"Do you know someone named Ziek back in high school?"
"Hello?"
"Are you still there?
Aki took a while to reply.
"SLR, we're doing something"
"but yeah I do", Aki added.
"I met him today in the hotel"
"Noiceeeeee, he's my classmate since 9th grade"
"fuck, I thought I'm the only Filipino here"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, he doesn't look like a Filipino right? He's cool and nice actually, nicer than your ex"
"and he's cute HAHAHAHAHAHA", Aki added.
"wtf, I told you not to mention him again"
"sorry but I couldn't help HAHAHHAHAHA"
"anyways, he invited me to hang out later. I'm just surprised that's why I told you"
Aki, again, took a while to respond.
"Akiiii?"
"Hello???"
"Sorry, we're doing something"
"oh! cool! enjoy yourself with him"
"at least now you have someone to be with"
"btw, gotta go now, I'll make up with you. PROMISE!"
"Take care there and enjoy, tell Aki I said Hi"
"Okay, sure I miss you!"
"I miss you too"
Mean convinced himself that it's good that he has someone to be with there in Canada, at least he will be distracted and have time to enjoy.
