Chapter Text

“Ai’ Kinn! Be careful with me!” yelled by the younger man who was blind folded as he tries to trust the older man who’s guiding him to be careful with his steps.
“Where are we even going you bastard?”
“Shh... have patience darling, we’re almost there”
As soon as the two men had finally arrived at the place of what the older man planned for them to be at, Kinn carefully took off the blind fold that was irritating Porsche the whole time.
Porsche’s eyesight became clear again, then he was met by a romantic dinner set at a huge balcony near the beach side. Many rose petals were scattered everywhere on the floor and the scenery gave a beautiful sunset for both of them to mesmerize at.
“So, do you like it love?” Kinn had broken the silence while Porsche is still busy collecting his thoughts not knowing what to say or what to react. The younger man felt warmth hands wrapped around his waist as a head lets it rest on his shoulder. Porsche let his head move a little to the side to give much more space for the head that was resting on his shoulder.
“You know you didn’t have to do this right?” Porsche said, it wasn’t much rather a question. He thinks all of this was too much for his worth. He felt Kinn kisses his nape gently. Who knew the soon heir of the Theerapanyakun could be this sappy? Porsche felt smiling with the thought of it.
“But I wanted to” Kinn spoke through the younger man’s skin. Porsche felt goosebumps.
“Porsche...” Kinn called his name softly. Porsche turned around to face him, moving closer to the warmth hands wrapping on his waist.
“Time to wake up”
“Huh- what?”
-
“Wake up hia!”
Porsche startled with the voice that yelled him. Ahh fuck...it’s only a dream. Porsche grunts in frustration, he really needs to stop dreaming about these kinds of sappy shits.
“What do you want Chay?” Porsche grunts, sitting down his position on his bed yet still processing his surroundings half asleep.
“You’re late hia.” Porschay frowns while his older brother gave him a confuse look.
“Late for what?”
“You’re late for your date with P’Kinn, don’t you remember about it?”
Porsche was still half asleep as he tries to process what Porschay was worrying about. Then realization hits him,
“Shit! Fuck-“ Porsche quickly grab the alarm clock near his bed side. It’s 10:50am.
“Agh fuck! I only have 10 minutes but fuck!”
“Stop cussing hia! Just go get change already, I’ll call the car to get ready”
“You’re a life saver Chay, therefore I love you” Porsche gets up away from his bed and kisses his little brother’s forehead as a “thank you”, he then ran quickly to go to the bathroom as he hears Porschay faked to be gross out by the affection. He would love to tease his little brother more, but he got important things to do, and he can’t miss it.
Porsche gave himself a quick shower while trying his best to brush his teeth. Ah yes, multitasking at its finest.
Once he let himself out of the shower, he went to his huge wardrobe, too busy trying to find a good suit to wear for the day that will impress Kinn. Porsche’s style isn’t really formal, he would rather wear a casual high waisted pants and a white t-shirt, but he must look perfect for Kinn. He will be his future partner, so he must look and act like it.
Porsche was able to find a suit that isn’t too formal yet not too casual, it was a blue steel checkered pattern suit.
Ahh... perfect. Porsche thought, looking at himself in the tall length body mirror wearing the suit.
“Should I wear a tie?” Porsche thinks how much he looks good with a few buttons undone.
“It would look good without it but agh... Kinn will think I look inappropriate with having my bare-naked chest shown off.” Porsche sighs, giving up by getting himself a tie that fits with his suit’s color.
“Hia! The driver is ready, you’re gonna be late hurry!” Porsche heard his little brother yelled outside his room. He checked the time of his watch. Shit! Only 3 minutes left.
Porsche quickly grabs his phone to put on his pocket. He quickly rushed out of his room; He might have stumbled a few steps while he goes down the stairs, but he successfully manages to make it outside. He saw Porschay waiting him next by their car.
“Alright, I’m off now Chay. Be a good little brother for me while I’m gone na? ~” Porsche quickly hugged Porschay as he almost let himself get in the car, but he was stopped immediately when a hand came to reach his shoulder.
“Hia- wait! Your hair is a mess, let me fix it.” Porsche let his little brother fixed his hair for a couple of seconds before entering inside the car once again. He rolls down the window to wave in goodbye to Chay. He quickly took out his phone out of his pocket to text Kinn to let the older man know he is on his way and will be sorry in advance if he will get late in a few minutes.
-
Porsche Pachara Kittisawat typing...
Porsche: Good morning P’Kinn, I’m on my way. Hope I’m not late :)
-
Porsche waited for the older man to reply, but only a few minutes and he saw that Kinn only seen the message. Agh fuck...I’m in huge trouble. Porsche thought, rubbing his nape in huge frustration. But this is only the first time he is ever late to their date, hope Kinn can spare him some slack.
He just let himself zone out a bit while mesmerizing the view outside his window. He needs to relax and get to his character. The character known as “well behave Porsche Pachara Kittisawat” for Kinn, that means no cussing or any fool actions that will most likely get himself embarrass in front of his future soon to be husband.
“Khun Porsche, we’re here” Porsche went back to his senses as he hears his driver calls him for attention to know that they have arrive at the Theerapanyakun’s compound.
“Oh, thank you.” Porsche smiled and nodded at his driver.
He saw a bunch of bodyguards line up outside to greet his present. He also saw Pete, his head bodyguard who he chose to keep him safe and entertain once Porsche visits their compound. Pete was originally Tankhun’s head bodyguard before, who is Kinn’s oldest brother. But on Porsche’s pleading request to have Pete (most likely it was a “your welcome” to someone), Tankhun gave Pete to Porsche.
Tankhun already likes Porsche enough to not say no to the younger man anyway, he even offered for Pete to stay at the Kittisawat’s house 24/7 but Porsche refuses and tells him that Pete also needs a break some other time. Pete thinks how kind of Porsche to say those words, he will be forever loyal and respectful for that man. Not just because Porsche is the soon partner of Kinn, but it’s because Porsche was only the few people who see Pete not just a bodyguard, but also a human being. Porsche treated him like a friend, Pete liked that.
“Good morning, Khun Porsche” Pete greeted Porsche with a smile while he saw his boss comes out his car.
“Oh, hey Pete, am I late?” Porsche can’t help but immediately ask, worrying that Kinn might have gotten impatient.
“Ahh well... I don’t know that much, he only had asked once if you’re still going to show up Khun Porsche”
“Oh okay, thanks Pete. No need to call me “khun”, ya know?” Porsche patted the bodyguard’s shoulder as he walked pass through him to get inside the compound. He let Pete push the button for the elevator as he waits for it to open for them.
Once the elevator had finally opened, only him and Pete went inside while he lets the bodyguard push what number of the floor for Kinn’s office room is. Porsche took out his phone once again to check if there is any reply from Kinn.
Of course, none. Porsche sighs as he puts his phone back to his pocket.
“Is everything alright Khun Porsche?”
Porsche snaps back from his attention when he heard Pete broke the silence. “Ah yes, of course. Don’t worry about it Pete”. He forces a smile while waits for them to be drop at Kinn’s office floor.
The elevator’s door has finally open. Porsche quickly made his way to Kinn’s office, but he saw the older man outside who’s about to leave with his few trusted bodyguards. Porsche quickly approached them and called Kinn to notice him.
“P’Kinn!” Porsche called as he saw the older man stops his footstep as he noticed Porsche’s presence.
“Sorry if I was late for our date, but I’m here now P’Kinn”
“You’re 7 minutes late, but it’s fine. Most everyone makes mistakes, no one can mostly be perfect.” Porsche frowned a little by that statement Kinn said to him, he is trying to be perfect but it’s just too hard to keep up sometimes.
“Although we can’t have our date at this hour, I had an urgent meeting with a client. I’ll be back soon, just ask someone to keep you entertain at the moment.”
Before Porsche could even say something, the older man quickly walked away with his bodyguards leaving him hopeless. Kinn didn’t even bothered to compliment Porsche’s looks today. Porsche thought he looked good, but maybe not enough for Kinn.
Hell, when did Kinn ever compliment anything about his appearance? Porsche thought in frustration.
“I’m sorry Khun Porsche, do you maybe want to go to Khun Tankhun to keep you company instead?” Pete broke the silence trying to attempt to lighten his boss’ mood up who was showing a big frown on his face. His bodyguard noticed Porsche is close with the eldest Theerapanyakun son, so maybe his company will cheer his boss’ mood.
“Yeah alright, I’d appreciate that let’s just go.” Porsche gave a small smile to the bodyguard as he lets himself be guided to Tankhun’s room.
-
Porsche let himself entered Tankhun’s room without a knock, he feels like he doesn’t really need to do that anymore. The older man noticed his presence and quickly runs up to Porsche to give him a tight hug.
“Oh Porsche! What a pleasant surprise to have you here.”
“Hi Khun- but can you let me go? I- I can’t breathe-“ Porsche would love the hug, but he feels like Tankhun is suffocating him to death.
“Don’t be so dramatic. With those muscles you have, you could easily fight off my bodyguards.” Tankhun rolls his eyes as he lets go the younger man.
“Why are you here by the way? Aren’t you supposed to be on a date with my dear brother?”
“Ah well... he said he has an urgent meeting. But it was most likely my fault anyway since I was 7 minutes late.” Porsche said while he tries his best to not act disappointed about it in front of the older man who’s watching his face’s mood slowly.
“Oh, that’s bullshit- I’m sure he’s going to meet that bitch like always!” Tankhun yelled in exaggeration. He knows how bad of a liar Kinn is and he knows that Porsche isn’t dumb enough to believe that.
“Just don’t say it, Khun. I already know he’s going to meet that fucker. It’s not new to me.”
“Then why didn’t you stop him?!”
“Well, do you think he knows I know about his affair? Yeah no- plus I don’t have the right to interfere with his life.” Porsche sighs as he lets himself sat down on a couch.
“But you are his soon to be wife, of course you have right to interfere.”
“Ugh don’t call me that. We’re only paired for an arrange marriage for the business, remember? And I think Kinn likes that bitch much already.”
Tankhun can’t help but watch Porsche in misery right now. The younger man might be good at hiding his real emotions towards Kinn or the others, but not to him. He joined Porsche on the couch and gave him a comforting hug. Porsche gave in with the warmth hands wrapped around him.
Porsche’s dreams are always a total opposite of his reality. But even though Kinn always gives him the slightest attention or affection towards him, he’d still admit that he’s in love with that asshole. Everyone may wonder if they saw how dry his relationship with Kinn at this moment, they might ask of why Porsche even puts up with this. He knows he can find someone better, but he can’t replace Kinn. He just can’t.
“You know what? Let’s just watch a movie instead of being miserable here.” Tankhun lets go of the younger man to reach for the remote.
“Are we really going to watch your boring movies Khun?” Porsche grunts in frustration. Tankhun’s company is nice but watching movies all day sounds so tiring.
“My movies are not boring!” Tankhun threw a pillow across Porsche’s face, but the pillow was caught immediately by the younger man and laughed at it.
“Arm! Go make some popcorn, hurry!”
“Yes Khun.” The bodyguard bowed then hurried to leave the room to fetch some popcorn for the movie.
-
5 hours has passed, and Porsche thinks they most have probably watched all the movies Tankhun has. The older man didn’t even bother to watch most of it and had fallen asleep, and so is the other bodyguard as well. Everyone had already fallen asleep on the couch, except Porsche.
Porsche was too busy thinking about Kinn. He wants to trust that the older man’s words that he is only going to an urgent meeting, but he can’t help but think maybe Kinn is with Tawan again.
Of course, Kinn would be with him today instead with him. Porsche thought bitterly.
The first time Porsche met the man, Tawan, was when Korn had force him and Kinn to go at an event. Him and Kinn needed to make a good impression as future marriage partners of Theerapanyakun to some few well-known businessmen. Porsche only went away to talk to some foreign businessman to make a good impression, but when he came back to look for Kinn in the crowd, he was met with Tawan being all handsy around Kinn. The older man didn’t even bother to let him stop; He was even actually having fun as well. The two may seem enjoying each other’s company, so Porsche let it slide and minded to not interfere. But something deep inside him felt shattered.
After that day happened, Kinn was always not around the compound. Kinn always makes excuses such as “urgent meetings”, or “have to meet some friend”, or in the harshest way is the older man didn’t even bother to let Porsche know about his schedules for the day. Kinn treated him like an air. Porsche didn’t even know why he let himself liked that selfish bastard.
If Kinn didn’t even want the arrange marriage and wants to be with someone he loves in the first place, the older man should have told him that straight to his face. But Porsche forgot how Kinn is the golden child in front of his Papa. After all, Kinn’s father was the one who persuade for them to have an arrange marriage and Kinn can’t simply deny his father’s wishes.
-
Porsche just quickly discards those thoughts and went to get up to get some fresh air outside.
As he makes his way to the garden, he saw a familiar person walking around the compound. He squints his eyes to get a better vision of who the person is.
Once he knew who it was, it was his best friend! Vegas Theerapanyakun, the eldest son of the minor family. Somehow the brothers of the major family hate his guts because for being “annoying” and “untrustworthy”, but Porsche likes to think Vegas isn’t that kind of person.
When Porsche once first visited the major family’s compound when he was 7yrs old when his parents attended a meeting with the Theerapanyakuns, Porsche first met Vegas. The man was same as his age but thought that he was too mature because of his moods and actions. Soon Porsche realized how Vegas can be also stupid and chaotic yet thoughtful and kind around him. They became best friends growing up, they would always visit each other’s house just to enjoy each other’s company when both of their parents are busy away.
They also shared each other’s secrets to one another, Porsche learned how much of an asshole Vegas’ dad is. And when Porsche was going through a hard time when his parents had passed away when he was only 15yrs old, Vegas was there to cheer him up and console him. He would never trade for another friend to replace that man.
But what is this bitch doing here today? Porsche thought as he sneakily approaches the man to attack him behind his back for a surprise greet.
“Oi! Wegath!” Porsche attacked him from the back. Vegas immediately had his gun aimed because he got startled by the action, he quickly discards his gun away when he knew it was his idiot friend who had his hands raised up for mercy.
“Geez you fucker- you could’ve just greeted normal like every human being.” Vegas hissed.
“Stop being overdramatic when you literally had your gun aimed at me Wegath.”
Vegas rolled his eyes at Porsche. “Stop calling me that.”
“Why? Is it because only my head bodyguard can only call you it?” Vegas wanted to punch that smug face off Porsche was giving him. Vegas had a crush on Pete when the bodyguard first started his job. So, Porsche being the good friend and the best wingman he is, he insisted to have Pete as his head bodyguard to tease his friend even more with it. Vegas don’t even know if he should be grateful by it or no.
“Shut the fuck up. Why are you even here? Aren’t you supposed to be on a date with my cousin?”
Porsche’s mood went immediately turned into misery hearing that statement again.
“Oh.” Vegas saw his face. “He’s with his bitch again, huh? I swear I’m gonna kill him-“
“Don’t. Let’s not just talk about it.” Porsche immediately cut his friend’s words. Vegas frowned at him; He can’t let anyone treat his dear best friend like that, but he just let the man change the subject to ease the mood.
“What are you doing here by the way?” Porsche asked.
“Oh well, my dad wanted me to have a small meeting of some urgent matter with Khun Korn's assistant. Nothing special.”
“Well, if you’re free right now, want to join me in the garden? I need some fresh air right now.”
Vegas gave him a smile and nodded at his friend. “Sure, why not.”
As soon as they started walking, a bodyguard was running up to them trying to catch up with their pace. It was Pete, of course.
“Khun Porsche!” The bodyguard catches up to them when the two men stopped their movement. Pete was panting trying to collect as much as air he needs to breathe.
“Geez Pete- are you okay? Is everything okay?” Porsche asked worriedly. The bodyguard looked like he had just run away from a ghost.
“Khun Porsche, y-you can’t just leave without me. I need to know wherever you are.”
“Jesus christ, that’s it? I didn’t wanna bother your slee-“
Vegas cuts Porsche’s words as the man tried to approach the poor bodyguard, caressing his back to ease Pete’s stable breathing back. “Are you okay? Do you need some water?”
“O-oh no Khun Wegath, it’s fine. I’m okay, no need to worry about me.”
Porsche watches the two lovebirds in amusement. At the same time, it never fails to make him laugh how funny Pete pronounces Vegas’ name as always. He also felt jealous at the same time knowing when he will have this, he forgot how Kinn was too busy fucking someone else somewhere.
“You two, stop being domestic husbands around me please.” Porsche rolled his eyes at them.
Vegas glared at him while Pete smiled awkwardly and nodded. Vegas saw his action. He didn’t deny this time... Vegas felt smiling by that thought.
“Since you cared about my safety too much Pete, why not join us in the garden as well?” Porsche gave a wink to his friend who was annoyed by him now at this point.
“Sure, Khun Porsche.” Pete replied with a smile.
They started to walk their way to the garden. Porsche was met by a good smell of breeze air. He really needed that, but right now he also felt his throat is a little parched.
“Hm... I’m kind of thirsty, tea would be really good right now.”
“Sure thing Khun Porsche, I can get it for you-“ Pete was about to leave and go make some tea, but Porsche stopped him.
“No no no, have Vegas do it. You need some rest...I’m sure you’re still tired from all the running trying to find me.” Porsche grins at his friend who scoffed at him. Porsche went to sit down at the near chair outside as he patted the other chair across him to signal for Pete to sit down as well.
“O-oh no need for that! I can do it Khun Porsche-“
Vegas immediately cuts him and let Pete join Porsche to rest. “Porsche is right, have some rest, Pete. That feral idiot might have already tired you and it’s not even the end of the day.”
“Who you calling an idiot?!” Porsche yelled in annoyance at his friend who was laughing softly as they started to walk away.
Pete just gave up at the chaos and joined Porsche. He sat awkwardly at the chair near the older man.
“Thank you, Khun Porsche.” He smiled sheepishly at his boss who smiled back at him.
“No need to thank me, also stop with the “khun”. We’re friends here, no need to be formal with me Pete.”
“A-ah okay Porsche...” Pete awkwardly nodded at his boss’ request. He’s still not used to be treated like this.
“There you go, I like that better.”
As the two were busy with their small conversations, Vegas came back with two cups of tea.
“There it is- god what took you so long?” Porsche went to grab the other cup and quickly took a sip of the tea.
“Geez my apologize you brat” Vegas rolled his eyes at him.
“Hold on- how come you only came back with two cups of tea?”
“This is for Pete. I don’t drink tea.” Vegas handed the other cup he was holding to Pete before he let himself be seated at the other chair across them.
“Oh, thank you Khun Wegath, you don’t really have to.” Pete gave a smile and immediately took a sip of the tea for appreciation.
What a fucking liar, Porsche laughed at that thought while enjoying his cup of tea. He knows how much Vegas likes tea, but of course, a lovesick like his friend would do anything to make a move to his crush. This is really some good tea.
As the three were busy enjoying the warmth fresh air, Porsche’s phone vibrated. Pete quickly noticed it and he soon immediately took the tea from Porsche, so the older man wouldn’t have a hard time grabbing his phone from his pocket. Porsche nodded in thanks.
He quickly opened his phone and he saw that he had received a message from Kinn.
-
Kinn: I won’t be coming home today. I need to fix some stuff at the meeting, don’t wait for me.
-
Porsche’s mood quickly turned downhill right away again. He didn’t bother to reply anymore, he quickly put his phone back on this pocket and went to retrieve the tea from Pete’s hands. Vegas saw his frown, and immediately knew what the cause of it.
“It’s Kinn, huh?” Vegas broke the silence, gritting his teeth of how much he is angry of his asshole cousin, Kinn.
“Ahh yeah...he said he’s not going to come home today so I shouldn’t wait for him anymore.” Porsche laughed bitterly, trying to hide his pain. But the other two can see how much he is hurt by it.
“You know what,” Vegas quickly got up from his seat. “Let’s go to Hum bar, instead of being miserable here, why don’t entertain some people with your skills?” He lends out a hand from his friend who looks at him with having second thoughts about it.
“Don’t worry Porsche, I’ll come with you. I’ll change some casual clothes first to blend through the crowd for you.” Pete joined in and smiled at his boss to cheer his mood up.
“Alright you two, let’s get the show started then.” Porsche smirks and took Vegas’ hands once he stands up from his chair.
Unexpectedly, Porsche has apparently been living a double life. If he’s around Kinn, he’s living like a perfect doll who needs to not make mistakes. But once he’s with his trustworthy people, he is in for some trouble and fun.
When he was in college, his other friends force him once to go at a club called “Hum Bar”. He watches the bartenders mix a few cocktails and alcohols with full amusement; Porsche felt like he wanted to also learn how to do it.
Luckily the owner got fond of him and let him work at the bar as a bartender. The owner was also kind enough to not let the customers or workers know his true identity except for owner and Porsche was really thankful for it. In the bar, Porsche was known as the Phoenix. Porsche brags about how much of a fast learner he is, it’s true anyway.
He enjoyed mixing some few cocktails and entertaining the customers with his skills other than handling a few of the boring businesses his parents ended him up with. But he still can’t simply abandon his parents’ all hard works and success, so Porsche just simply let him work at the bar on special occasions.
Only a few people knew about his secret. Vegas first knew about it but gave his full support to his friend.
Pete accidentally knew about it when he saw Porsche sneaked out of the compound when Kinn is too busy with a few paper works, but the bodyguard let his boss keep it a secret in exchange that Pete also needs to be with him to protect his boss everytime Porsche wants to go to the bar, especially late at night.
Porsche needs to tell his little brother who got suspicious everytime Porsche tells him he’s going out in the middle of the night. Porschay got mad at first, but he let his older brother do what he wants for his happiness, Porsche just promised him that he would always be safe.
When a few creep strangers comes up to attempt to sexual harass him when Porsche is doing his job at the counter, Vegas is there to threaten to kill them and Pete for to protect Porsche.
The bar wasn’t also for high class people to visit at but when a familiar businessman also came to visit who Porsche met at some event for his business, the owner also helped him to go hide away from them. Porsche is thankful for all his trustworthy people to helped him enjoy his passion without getting to ruin his reputation, especially Kinn’s. He cannot let Kinn know about his double life.
-
“Are we all ready?” Vegas said while he finishes starting to get the car ready.
Porsche looked around at their surroundings first in the garage to see if the coast is clear and no one is following them. “Yeah, we’re clear.”
Porsche was about to make his way to the backseat when...
“Porsche! Where are you going?!”
Porsche froze, and so was Pete and Vegas who was already inside the car. Well fuck...
Pete quickly stepped out of the car and moves to go in front of Porsche from the excuses. “Khun Tankhun!” Pete bowed down to greet the eldest son of Theerapanyakun.
“Pete, get out of the way. I need to speak to Porsche.” Tankhun demands, his face shown furious yet worried as well.
“Khun-“
“It’s fine, Pete. I can take it from here.” Porsche cut him as he stepped away from his bodyguard’s side to face the older man.
“Porsche,” Tankhun quickly changes his mood to calm down and not scare off Porsche, but still, he needs explanations.
“Why are you going outside wearing that “cheap” clothes at this hour?”,
“Where are you going?”,
“Do you know how much dangerous it is outside without any bodyguards protecting you besides Pete?”,
“Porsche-“
The older man kept rambling and rambling about how Porsche is being ridiculous of wanting to go outside somewhere knowing how dangerous it is.
Tankhun has his fair share with traumatic events he had experienced in his childhood, he was only 11yrs old when an enemy clan of his father attempted to kidnap the eldest son. Tankhun spent 7 days in the warehouse, and when he came back safely, he wasn’t in his right mind anymore (at least that’s what everyone thinks).
His father had forced him to go through so many therapy sessions, but the therapist had given up healing Tankhun. So, the father had also given up making the eldest son as the next heir of his business once he retires, that’s why the job has passes to Kinn, the middle child.
Going back to that memory, Tankhun has never allowed himself to go outside anymore but only on special occasions when really needed to. He also takes his family members’ safety seriously. Now that he sees his beloved Porsche going outside with one bodyguard only with him, he will not allow that.
Vegas finally stepped out of the car to handle the uncontrollably lecture from Tankhun. “Look my dearest cousin,” he said as he approached the older man.
“I’m here as well to protect my dear best friend, you have nothing to worry about.” Vegas patted his shoulder to attempt to calm Tankhun down.
Tankhun immediately removed the hands touching him. “Ew don’t touch me!"
“And you’re here as well?! How is that going to calm me down?!” Tankhun yelled in exaggeration. He’d rather trust a stranger than his cousin, Vegas.
“Khun, we’re going to be fine. Plus, you said it so yourself with my muscles, I can literally fight all your trusted bodyguards.” Porsche winked at Arm and Pol who was behind Tankhun, looking at him dumbfounded. I mean the man was right though, they have already watched Porsche spar with Pete, and they do not want to be on Pete’s side.
“But Porsche...” Tankhun pleads at the younger man, trying his best to have Porsche change his mind.
“Please Khun, can’t you trust me?”
The older man finally gave up with his lectures and came to finally accept to trust the younger man’s words, but in exchange,
“Fine, but I’ll join you guys.”
Everyone went speechless as they looked at the eldest son of Theerapanyakun strangely. Tankhun? Going out? Fucking impossible.
“Are you sure? We’ll be back as soon-“
“No! I’m going with you guys and that’s final.” Tankhun cuts Porsche’s words and proceeds to walk away with his bodyguards.
“Wait- if you’re coming with us, why are you leaving?” Porsche asked.
“What? You think I’m going out looking like “this”? Please, you should know I always take my fashions seriously.” Tankhun scoffed and proceeds to walk away with his bodyguards.
“You, two,” Tankhun stopped his movements for a second and looks at his bodyguards. “Go change as well.”
The two bodyguards look at each other confused. What’s wrong with what we are wearing? Arm thought but proceeds to do their boss’ demand as he signaled his partner to do the same.
-
The bar was silence except the small chatters of the other customers. Everyone was staring at Tankhun like he clearly doesn’t belong to this area. With his expensive clothes he’s wearing, he could be easily targeted to get rob.
“Aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend here, Porsche?” Yok broke the awkward silence that the bar was having.
“Oh right! Uhh-“ Porsche clears his throat. “Yok, this is Tankhun, my friend” Porsche gestured his hands showing Tankhun to his boss. “And Khun, this is Yok, my boss.”
“Pleasure to meet you.” Yok smiled and lent her hand out to shake Tankhun’s hand.
“Porsche, are you sure this is a safe environment for us?” Tankhun focuses his attention on Porsche, ignoring the hand that was offering to shake his.
“I’ve been here many times and Yok is taking a good care of me, so don’t worry about it.” Porsche patted the older man’s shoulder to calm him down.
“If you feel unconscious about being here, why don’t Arm-“ Porsche was about to suggest Tankhun to leave but the older man quickly removed the hand that was resting on his shoulder and scoffed.
“We’re already here, stop asking me to leave.” Tankhun rolled his eyes.
“Ok ok fine, I’ll stop.” Porsche jokingly raises his hands in surrender. “How about we play some music you’d like?”
Tankhun narrows his eyebrows for a second and quickly nodded in affirmation to the younger man. Porsche went to the DJ to request some good quality music to play, then a random beat starts...Oops wrong music-
“Oi! Why did it stop?” Porsche got startled and looked sudden confused by Tankhun’s sudden reaction.
“Play it again, I like it!” Tankhun starts to get ready to show his moves while Porsche proceeds to play the song back again.
Alright then... Porsche smirks then went back to the counter.
-
Aye, I'm just trying to make my way on
Through the concrete jungle
Who walks with me?
Tankhun starts to sway around to feel the beat of the music. The two bodyguards, Arm and Pol looked at their boss dumbfounded but proceeds to join him to hype their boss up.
Aye, oh yeah, tryna find connection
In two-thousand something ain't easy
Porsche starts to mix a few drinks for his fellow friends for them to enjoy. The other three just continue with their dancing while Vegas and Pete are sitting awkwardly near the counter where Porsche is busy working at.
Porsche saw the awkward tension between the two, he needs to help them. Porsche gently tapped his best friend’s shoulder and moves closely to his ear to whisper something,
“Why don’t you ask Pete to dance with you?” Porsche whispered mischievously. Vegas backed away from the whisper and scoffed at his friend in annoyance, before he could deny Porsche’s idea, he was immediately handed a shot of alcohol.
“Here. It will help you build up some confidence, my friend.” Porsche winked at Vegas; His friend was glowing red. He took a lot of his time having second thoughts about but,
Agh...fuck it. Vegas took the shot and grabbed Pete’s wrist to lead his crush to the dance floor who got startled by the sudden action.
Woohoo, can't quit, take sips
Wanna taste you
“U-uhm Khun Wegath- I don’t really know how to dance...” Pete looked at his surroundings then smiled awkwardly at the older man who led him through the dance floor.
Vegas leaned to whisper something into his ear. “Just feel the beat, don’t worry I got you darling.”
Vegas smirks and took both of Pete’s hands, he leads both of their movements to start to sway along with the beat. Pete suddenly felt something beats so fast into his chest. And strangely deep inside, he doesn’t want to deny the offer of being able to dance with Vegas.
Ooh, make wish, use lips
Tonight, Pete felt the sudden urge to let go of the thought that he’s just a bodyguard and Vegas is his just boss’ friend. He accepted the favor and starts to follow the older man’s movements.
Porsche watched them with full amusement, his best friend finally grew some balls and so his bodyguard.
Kissing strangers !
Uh! Na na na na na na na na
'Til I find someone I love
Na na na na na na na na
Kissing strangers !
Everyone was starting to enjoy the party. The oldest son of Theerapanyakun seems to be enjoying much while dancing with his bodyguards who’s hyping every of his dance moves. Tankhun never felt so alive and free for the first time.
From time to time, everyone starts to do shots they had requested from Porsche. Tankhun took quickly as much as he can after he finished the others. Porsche tried to warn the older man to take it slow, but Tankhun proceeds to drink more and more. His bodyguards just continue to hype their boss up after finishing one another, but worried at the same time thinking how they will handle to take Tankhun’s drunk ass home later.
Open heart, open mind
Never know who you'll find
Pete starts to take shots as well and took a few sips from the famous cocktails Porsche had made for them. Vegas watches the younger man attentively and advise him to slow it down but proceeds to hype his crush with full awe after a shot he took.
Open heart, close your eyes
Kissing strangers !
Tonight, was full of wild and chaos. Porsche felt so much joy and starts to forget all his worries from Kinn. He doesn’t need that bastard right now when he has this. He will make sure to remember this day very well, he just hopes it will not be a hassle once they all go back home to the compound.

Well, it wasn’t really much of a hassle, everyone was still in their senses except Tankhun. The eldest son was really far from his senses, he got too drunk with the many alcohols he took. Arm and Pol were supporting to carry their boss’ shoulder, while Porsche and Vegas work on to carry Tankhun’s legs. Pete helps to open the door for them and watches their every move as they make their way to Tankhun’s room to get the older man finally rest comfortably.
They had finally made their way inside the compound’s hallway, but they’re still far away from Tankhun’s room.
“Can’t this bitch stop squirming?!” Vegas grunts as he adjusts himself to carry the drunk ass old man’s leg again.
They had finally made to the elevator. Pete almost went to push the button for the elevator when suddenly a door opened for them. All of them froze, especially Porsche. It would’ve been okay if it was just some random bodyguard roaming around late at night but fuck it isn’t! It’s Kinn.
Kinn took a second to look at what he just witnessed, then realization hits him when he saw his older brother passed out and had to be carried.
“Where the fuck have you all been?!” Kinn went furious. They weren’t supposed to be out this late, especially his older brother and his future husband, Porsche.
“Khun-“ Pete was about to speak when Kinn cuts him off and glared at Porsche.
“Porsche. We need to talk. Now.” Kinn demanded furiously. Vegas left Tankhun’s leg and approaches Kinn to protect Porsche but was stopped immediately.
“You guys go ahead, Khun needs to rest. I can handle this.” Porsche lets go of his hold from Tankhun’s leg and forces a smile at his friend, Vegas. Vegas hesitated at first but nods at his friend’s wish then proceeds to help the others to take Tankhun to his room.
Once Porsche and Kinn were alone, the older man starts to raise his voice up angrily at the younger man. “If this was your plan, what were you thinking?!”
Porsche felt sudden chills through his spine, but he should not show his fear right now in front of Kinn. He seriously needs to stand up for himself right now.
“Do you know how dangerous it is outside Porsche?! You even took my older brother with you!”
Porsche let his mouth opened, trying to attempt to say something but was immediately cut.
“I don’t really expect you to be perfect, but you can’t be this stupid.” Kinn points his finger at the younger man’s face angrily.
Porsche felt something deep inside heating up. He usually keeps his mouth shut at every Kinn’s lecture when he makes small mistakes. But this time, it wasn’t even his fault and he’s the one who should be mad at Kinn right now. So, then he finally decided to snap,
“Don’t you dare point your fucking fingers at me.”
“Excuse me?” Kinn was speechless.
“I just wanted to have fun once in a while Kinn! You fucking left me here like you always do goddamit-“ Porsche clench his teeth in frustration. Before Kinn even got the chance to talk back, he proceeds to yell more.
“And it wasn’t even my plan to have Khun join me! It was only supposed to be me, Vegas and my bodyguard, Pete. So, it was your older brother’s choice! Not fucking mine you asshole!”
Kinn became more furious at the younger man glaring at him back. How dare Porsche had the audacity to yell at him like this?
“Who you dare calling an asshole here?!”
“Of course, you fucking asshole! Who should I be talking?! This useless plant here?!” Porsche yelled as he pointed at the plant who didn’t even do any harm on anyone but got involved with the fight.
Kinn tried to refocus and calms his nerves down a little.
“Look- I don’t even know what made you think to go out right now at this hour, you know how dangerous it is Porsche. And you even went along with that bastard!”
“I- which bastard you calling at?” Porsche’s glare became sharper as he took a few approaches at the older man. Kinn felt chills coming through his spine, thinking this is not the Porsche right now he once knew. The older man was about to open his mouth but closes it then took a few steps back away.
“Vegas isn’t a bastard Kinn. It’s you who should be the bastard here.” Porsche hissed.
“You don’t even know how that man has done many harms like I do, Porsche.” Kinn tried to correct the younger man.
“Oh please, I feel so much safer when I’m with him.” Porsche rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms.
“Safer with him? When did I ever hurt you, Porsche?” Kinn scoffed by the presumptuous opinion the younger man gave with full confidence.
“How about when did you ever not hurt me?” Porsche barked back to correct Kinn’s assumption.
Kinn felt confused for a moment. He took a couple of seconds to search Porsche’s face if there is any sign that he was kidding, but unfortunately the younger man was serious.
“Porsche, what are you even talking about-“
“Tawan.” Porsche didn’t even have to say anything except calls out the name. Kinn went paled by it.
“What? Do you think I’m that dumb enough to not notice it ever?” Porsche laughed bitterly.
“Porsche-“ Kinn tried to approach the younger man while he reaches his arms out to calm him down, but Porsche took a step back. Porsche’s both hands clench so hard, a tear suddenly slip through his cheek but continues to ignore it.
“I already knew it since the first day you met him, Kinn. I saw how happy you were that I didn’t even choose to interfere even if I was your future husband. I felt humiliated.”
Kinn felt something deep inside him shattered. He didn’t mean for this to happen and for Porsche to find it out like this. But he simply just can’t ignore Tawan’s presence either.
“Porsche, please...” Kinn tries to reach his arms out to grab Porsche again but was refused to let him go near.
“If you’re so happy with him...” Porsche forces his attention at Kinn while few more tears were starting to form out as they make their way through down the younger man’s cheek.
“Why don’t we just end this arranged marriage?”
