{SOMEWHERE}
"He is the current center of attention in the house, especially Khun Kinn," the voice said as he stared straight at the young man puffing a cigarette in his
mouth.
"He is daring and has high self-confidence, how could he not be interested?" Chestnut-shaped lips emitted white smoke, spreading all around the room.
"That's right." The other man clenched his mouth tightly, keeping his gaze.
"He must taste good...What do you think?" In a hoarse voice, the smoking guy anxiously asked the man in a black suit in front of him.
"Well, just like how you want it a real man." Said the voice before silently staring at his handsome face.
This man has a character that was hard to decipher because he could act courteously on the outside, but cold and dangerous on the inside.
"I usually do before, but this is getting annoying." The ashtray was thrown over a small clear glass. He knows exactly who Kinn has arranged for the night and knows very well what kind of taste he likes.
He always arranges those matches beforehand so he could act before Kinn. He wants the other surprised.
He's addicted to the feeling of satisfaction he had by doing something secretly behind his back. If he had known that Kinn would want the same thing that he does, he would have died of annoyance. Not to mention Kinn's has a very loyal people who are ready to surrender their own lives for the first family.
"What will you do next?"
"He wants him, doesn't he?" He asked a thrill in his voice.
"As far as I can see, he probably does." His brows are furrowed before speaking his mind.
"If not, I will be attracted to him. You know what I like," Said the dark voice with a grin playing at the corners of his lips.
He still couldn't let go of the topic of their conversation. A man who catches attention at first sight, who looks strong and arrogant on the outside. The guy who has masculine tastes and of course is always offensive. After all, he didn't like someone with a cute and slender figure, he prefers the pleasant manly smell.
"Tell me whatever you want me to do." The man wearing a black suit was irritated to hear that. He sighed, and then looked back at his face.
"Follow him everywhere, watch whatever he does, then look at Kinn's attitude towards him. The more Kinn likes him, the more I want him for myself."

Anakinn's interest in that person has doubled his enthusiasm. He will do whatever it takes to win against Kinn to give him the most painful agony.
"Yes, I will." The man sighed exhaustedly, as he thought how attractive the image of that person was. He realized that he was doing treachery against the main family but that is fine, at least using the person in front of him to separate the master from that bastard. He was annoyed and he hated it so much.

"Let us talk more about the business regarding the sending of new drugs. I have reached out for your directions and if you are ready, let me
know."
"Umm. Let us look at two more routes. I thought I would bring more. The police are being lazy these days." The two of them talked about their private business for a bit before splitting back to do their own lives.
PORSCHE
"Porsche, you bastard! I am getting goosebumps, fuck!" Tem shrugged his shoulders away from me as I rested my hand on his, then brought my nose closer and sniffed his neck.
"Let me do it, just a second. "I said in a smooth voice. Now I'm sitting at the wooden table. I was experimenting with something right now, but everyone swivels around, scream and move away from me.
"Shit! Motherfucker! Porsche, I don't want to." Tem said as he tried to push my face away.
"You are acting weird Porsche, don't you think?" Pete asked me.
Yes, today he followed me to the university according to his plea last night and it turns out he's not messing around as he wore a white shirt and lengthy pants to make himself look better.
"I just wanted to know how you feel. Damn, Tem." I brushed my friends' hand, but Tem hurriedly moves beside Pete immediately.
They already know each other because they got drunk and crazy together at the bar recently and need, I remind you that Pete came here to see girls.
"Tem, so how do you feel when someone sucks your neck like that?" Tem's expression changed from being frightened to be confused. Looked at the bandages wrapping my neck.
"What the fuck!" I instantly put my hands to cover the tape around my neck. I can say I have three plasters on each side! One bite mark and two kiss marks on both sides. Damn it!
"Who sucked your neck like that?"
"Who sucked what? I just want to put a bandage on it." I said frowning. My left leg under the table is silently shaking and my face was already paled.
"Yes, yes. I believe you. You're short-tempered lately, why is that?"
"N-Nothing, bastard!" I said and tried to calm down, but Pete continued looking at me with a funny the the
3
the grin on his face.
"What?" Pete asked when I stared back at him with squinted eyes.
"What is wrong with you? If you have something to ask, ask directly. Doing strange behavior like this is quite intimidating you know." Pete only laughed and looked at my other friends. He whispered something at Tem. I bet he told them about what I have done with Arm.
"Shut up!"
"Did your taste change?" Asked Jom.
"Come on, you don't need to be embarrassed, we are open to such matters, Tem still applauds Kinn for being handsome until now." I fell silent as soon as Jom talked about the bastard.
"Bastard! I didn't change the taste. I still like big breasts!" I replied in frustration.
3
"Do you like Khun Kinn, Tem? Well, my boss." Pete seemed to be interested in Jom's words. I didn't let him finish and immediately spoke.
"Let's go to the class and start learning."I was a little annoyed by hearing that idiot's name. I really wonder why I always get anxious just by hearing his name.
2
"You can go for a walk and do whatever you want. If you are hungry, go to the cafeteria there, when the class is done, I will call you."
"Are there beautiful girls here?" Pete asked, looking around.
1
"Well, there's none here in the Faculty of Sport Science 'coz the students are mostly boys. You can go to the Faculty of Communication Arts, to find lots of beautiful girls." Jom said, suggesting another building in the distance.
"Cool, I'll go there!" Pete said enthusiastically and Jom pointed him the way.
We went up to the building. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't get to know Pete in the mafia's house. He was the one who treated my wound, he woke me up last night to take medicine and changed my bandages.
2
I asked him not to tell Tem and Jom about the incident because I am too lazy to answer their questions. They also didn't notice because I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt to cover it up.
After I finished my classes, I called Pete back to the faculty. He smiled from the cafeteria and walked toward me. I guess the girls must have liked him.
"Hey, what have you got?" I asked him.
"I got two rows of girls lining up!" Pete said while waving at Tem and Jom.
2
I bent down to look behind him. To be honest, I haven't engaged to any women these past few weeks. I better find some spare time to hunt with Tem. I feel a little uncomfortable using Japanese AV clips to let out the steam. It did help a little, but it just felt different compared to doing it with a girl.
1
"Are you going back? Shall I drop you?" I asked Pete.
Today we came on my motorbike. At first, I suggested using the car but was amazed when he wanted to ride the motorbike with me.
"We can go together and eat at the nearest store." Pete gave me a knowing look, and I frowned when I saw it.
"If you are hungry, why didn't you eat at the cafeteria? What did you do there?"
"Let's go to the shopping mall, I am on my day off, so I want to laze around too."
Fuck Pete!! If you weren't a boxer, I would have knocked you off.
"Alright, let's go, I am hungry as well." I sighed in surrender.
My two friends also felt obliged to agree with his request. We went straight to the mall with Pete on my bike. Meanwhile, Jom rode in Tem's car.
Arriving, I quietly followed the three of them. I, as well as most men, prefer the outdoors to this mall. Besides, if I didn't need to buy things, I would never come just to eat or take a walk here unless my friends insisted on having a get-together occasionally.
"What do you want to eat. Can you hurry up?"
"Are you not happy to be out of the house for a little longer? Plus, I don't need to see our boss, so I am excited." Pete said in a joking manner.
I actually agree with what he said. However, on holidays, I would rather go home immediately to sleep. I think that doing something like this is a waste of personal energy.
2
"Let's just eat here, I am too lazy to walk further." I pointed randomly at one of the food stores.
I rarely eat at a cafe. Eating rice and curry on the roadside is good enough. They look at the menu in front of the shop and agreed on what food we should eat since it was a buffet restaurant. It turned out that the place to eat at was called Momo Paradise, a Japanese suki restaurant whose price was quite luxurious for my taste. Normally, I would pay less than a hundred baht, but today I will pay over a thousand baht for one meal. It's hard for me but it is I who chose this so maybe I should try some.
"Oh Pete, what are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice and chills run up my spine upon hearing it.
2
"Khun Kinn, hello!" Pete greets his boss, who was wearing his student uniform and was with his three friends who looked familiar. He smiled faintly as he walked straight to my group.
"What a coincidence." He looked at me, but I turned my face away to avoid his gaze.
"What are you up to?" Kinn asked.
"Oh, it is my day off, so I went to see Porsche's institute and find some girls," Pete said with a chuckle. My other friends raised their hands to waii at the group. It looks like they are third-year students whereas we are in the second year. But I won't do the same.
No way!
"Time, do you want to eat at this restaurant?" Kinn turned his head to ask his friend who answered with a nod.
"I have met my bodyguard, so let us have a meal together, my treat." My eyes flew as I looked at him with a frown.
"Thanks," My friends and Pete said in unison. We are not able to choose, but I don't have the tolerance today to look at him for a longer period of time, so it is better to go and find something else.
"Where are you going?" He asked as he moved in front of me.
"None of your business." I snapped looking at him.
"Hey, aren't we going to eat together?"
"No," I said, my face calm, trying not to look too much into the eyes of the man in front of me.
"Let us eat together. I will treat you." Kinn said, his face unreadable but his voice was long and restless.
"That is why I do not want to." I sighed.
I don't know what else he will use to bother me. The earlier incident is still glued to my mind, and I still cannot find an answer to my questions until I got tired of understanding everything about it.
"Usually, you like to extort money out of me, right? Well, today I will treat you to the most expensive food." He said as he stepped closer to me, I took a step back.
What is he doing stepping up to me like that? It shocked me.
"I won't eat with you!" I refused the invitation again.
"Come on hurry up and sit down."
Suddenly, Pete's arm wrapped around my shoulder and locked my position to sit back down with him. I tried to fight back and fought hard to rebuff but it was all in vain. The passers-by eyes at us, watching in confusion.
Probably because of Kinn's handsome face and because they have no idea what kind of person he is. A female staff member walked over to our table. Pete didn't let me go until the two of them managed to push and maneuver me to sit back on the chair. Kinn shifted to sit next to me, I was then ready to get up and leave again.
"I-what. No, if you don't sit there and eat peacefully, I will put my feet over yours like this." He said stepping on my foot under the table.
Dammit, he is smart. I pushed against each side, grunted a little, and then gave up continuing to sit there. Kinn, after making sure that I couldn't escape, came to sit opposite mine and the others completely spread out, clearly divided.
The guards sat at tables one on either side of us. Kinn's friend accepted the menu and skillfully ordered the food. Meanwhile, he looked up from playing on his cellphone and stared at me. I pretend to look across to the other side of the table, trying to ignore him.
"Have you taken your medicine today?" He suddenly asked me. I glanced at Tem and Jom in fear they might hear what the asshole has said. He always brings up that incident. The day I still remember how hard he cursed me for being so careless.
"Shut up! You're so nosy!" I answered as I leaned back on the chair, raising my hands to stop him from saying further. Kinn gave a throaty laugh and smirked.
It's the times like these that really scare me as he always likes to taunt me with suspicious faces. He really is a psychopath.
"Please allow permission to serve." The staff put the pork and beef cutlets down, then my friends walked to get the vegetables on the buffet table. There were so many dishes on the table that it was filled with fresh meat and vegetables waiting to be cooked in the black hot pot.
"Eat up."
Pete took the vegetables and meat and then dropped them on the hot pot grill. I admit it smells delicious as I have never eaten something like this before. However, unknown to everyone but myself and Pete, Kinn had turned a deathly shade of white.
"Ah. I'm okay, but can you eat meat?" Kinn dropped the meat on my plate. I slightly tilted my face and uttered profanity.
"I can still use my hands thank you."
Then I grabbed my chopsticks and put the cutlet on my plate. He smiled with satisfaction, lowered his head, and continued eating. I am the only one with a confused face. I saw the entire table was focused on eating, so I took some meat and put it on the grill. When I saw that it was well cooked, I took it and went to dip it into the sauce, but I didn't see any cup of sauce as I looked around the table.
Then I realized that everyone was not using a sauce to eat and that they just took the cooked meat and mix it in raw egg then eat like that. Isn't that strange?
"This Japanese sukiyaki is eaten with raw eggs," Kinn said. The egg in the cup was far from me.
"You can try mine first, my eggs are not fishy."
1
Suddenly I heard a cough, it was Pete's choking voice right after Kinn finished speaking. I looked at him in surprise then turned around and kept looking at Kinn.
2
Your eggs are what?!
"I don't want to eat that."
Then I stuffed my mouth with the raw meat without dipping it in any sauce. It tastes good anyway. But dipping it into a raw egg? I don't want to get diarrhea.
"What the hell or do you want to eat something fishy? I have it too." Kinn took the egg cup back to its original place. His face looks irritated, and he sounded annoyed.
"Don't mess with me today!" I used his own words against him.
"It's delicious," Pete said as he chewed. I continued to eat, the taste of the food starting to replace the irritation in my chest. All right this is not so bad.
"Do you not like to eat vegetables at all?"Kinn asked because, for my third course, I eat more meat and do not even come close to vegetables at all.
"Yes!" I answered in annoyance.
"Weak." He mumbled under his breath.
I took a deep breath, trying to ignore his words. The more he talked about it, the more he won the hearts of people like these rascals beside me.
"Do you eat mochi?"
Now I am sure, he wanted to start a conversation with me, how annoying it feels. I lifted my head to stare at him angrily.
Can I eat in peace? Bastard.
"What is mochi? A dessert?" I asked. Is he going to bother me again? I don't have any idea what it is just by looking at it, so he might take me for someone ignorant. Oi, I knew it, okay.
"Huh? No, Mochi is a type of flour! Oh! Try it." Kinn laughed while shaking his head and clipped the soft flour out of the bowl and put it on my plate. I looked at him in disbelief before he ate his serving of mochi. I am lazy to ask more about it and I take a bite because it looks weird and might taste good.
"Is it edible?" I asked.
"Of course, to be honest, it is just flour with regular broth."
"Can you really eat it?" Pete repeated my words, so I lifted my head and looked at him with a frown.
"Yes, I can eat it!" I answered.
"Tell yourself that." He let out a haughty laugh followed by a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What did you say?"
Seeing Kinn and Pete laughing for a long time, I turned to look at the grinning Pete. I want to ask what they are talking about but when he noticed me looking, he returned to being serious and asked me to continue eating.
What are they up to?
"Second brother!" The voice made the entire table turn to look. The tall man, as handsome as Kin walked with a confident smile toward our table.
"Hey, Vegas," Kinn said grinning.
2
"Hello, P'Tae, P'Time, P'Mew."
"Why is your cousin Vegas here?" Asked his friend named Tae, smiling sweetly at the newcomer until the man named Time pulled his head back. I am a little confused by his behavior, but I am not really bothered.
"Ah, I just came to meet my friend."
Vegas, as Kinn Called him was somehow familiar to me because he was one of the guests at Kinn's house before.
"What are you celebrating today? It seems Like everyone is gathering?"
"No, we are just having lunch, do you want to eat too? Why don't you join us?" Kinn said thoughtfully.
"Hmm. I will just sit here and wait for my friend. I promised to meet him at this restaurant." Kinn motions Vegas to sit next to him. Then he turned to look at me, I smiled back politely.
"Eat up."
"No, better if Nong sits and waits."
1
"Well, look how lucky it's Kinn who is with us today if the one to meet the hem was Khun, the suki pot would have certainly landed on Vegas' head," Pete whispers to me in a low voice, which makes me wonder.
"Why?"
"Oh! It seems like there is no way the Main and Secondfamiliesy can get along. Only Kinn can have a better relationship with them than the others."
"So, he comes from the second family."
"Yes, and his little brother Macau, the kid you were going to hit on that meeting day."
"They must be cousins, right?"I murmured back to Pete.
"Hi." Vegas unexpectedly greeted me.
"..."
I can only look at him and bow my head slightly in greeting. I don't know if he still holds a grudge because of what happened that day. Even Kinn's family cursed me, and he was the rotten boy's older brother, so naturally, he would have a grudge against me.
"Phi Kinn, he's the one who wanted to slap Macau, right?" Kinn nodded as I kept my eyes glued to the suki pot.
"Why don't you slap him? I will even let you do it twice."
He said but I don't know whether it is a joke or sarcasm. What I'm certain of is that when he said it, he smiled and laughed, but still looked polite.
"How is Macau?" Kinn said to his cousin as he took the mochi placing it on my plate again. I saw Vegas' eyes follow the little gesture. I was frustrated that Kinn took a load of food and moved it onto my plate.
"Enough. I am full." I keep the rude words in my throat because I remember Kinn's words well that I must respect him when we are in front of the second clan and his guests. So, I try to speak with respect.
"Keep eating, am I making you uncomfortable?" Vegas asked me.
I just shook my head instead of answering. Right now, it is as if there is a partition that separates me, Kinn, Vegas, Pete, and mine and Kinn's friends as if there's a wall between us. They talk and chat in a relaxed manner, it seems like it was fun, but strangely this side felt a little deranged and stiff.
"Oh, Porsche, I have been wanting to ask. Did someone hurt your neck?"
The invisible wall is broken when Time stared at my neck curiously. I am not surprised that he found out my name, this bastard Kinn often calls me when he is with his friends.
"He said that pretending to put on a bandage around his neck is a weird new trend." Tem replied and smiled. On the other hand, I saw Kinn who was leaning back on the chair in front of me, crossing his arms along his chest while smiling.
Shia! It is all because of you, bastard.
"A new trend? Wow! You?" Someone called Mew, said.
I didn't respond to anything and sneakily looked
at Kinn. Damn! I hate seeing him put on a happy face. I was getting frustrated seeing that smug look on Kinn's face until I forget that right now, people are watching me.
"It must be very hot," said Vegas who saw my face begin to blush. I didn't want to be the center of attention so I got up and walked out of there.
"Where are you going?" Exclaimed Pete.
"I am done, and I want to go home," I replied impudently without looking back.
"Hey, you'll go and leave me like this? Khun Kinn, I will leave now, thank you for the treat" Pete shouted, and after a while, he followed me.
I hurried to the parking lot and immediately started up the motorbike, which Pete hurriedly jumped on the
back of.
"Your attitude is really bad. Just finished eating and walked away." Pete looked up as the motorbike sped away.
"You want me to take you home right away?"
"No! Tonight, can I sleep at your house? Play a game or something. I don't want to go back there."
"No, so you better go back to your house."
"My house is in another province I want to play on your home computer. You said you have a lot of games on the computer."
I took a deep breath. I don't know what has possessed Pete today. All day he was stuck with me and now he wants to sleep at my house.
2
Shit, Pete! I rushed home because I wanted to sleep and rest! I guess it is because Pete interacts with that bastard Kinn a lot, so he started catching Kinn's annoying virus.
"Are you not working tomorrow? How are you going to get back? I don't want to get up early." I quickly denied him, because I only had a ten o'clock class tomorrow, so I wanted to sleep a little longer.
"Oh, I will take a taxi, so take it easy."
As soon as I got home, I fell onto my bed. Today is very exhausting just like during working hours. Instead of being happy and enjoying my college time outside of the mafia house, I had to meet that damn Kinn again.
"Take your medicine."
Pete walked over with the medicine and a water bottle in hand. Once he toured around my house, he immediately walked to the kitchen. It also felt weird to have someone watch over me and bring my medicine.
"I will clean your wound a bit," Pete said as he pulled the first aid bag from my closet.
"You don't have to take care of me this much," I said, scowling at the same time. I know that he is good, but maybe this is a little too much right?
"Come on."
I kept silent and pulled my sleeves up letting Pete wrap them in a new bandage. I took a peek outside and found no shoes. Che' is not yet home, I'm relieved. Because if he saw this, he'll definitely ask lots of questions and I'll have to explain everything.
The sound of footsteps coming from the next room made me pull my arm out of Pete's hand and pull the sleeve of my shirt down.
"Phi is back. I knew it!" Che's face looked happy at first, but when he saw me, he suddenly stopped. Even if I could cover my wounds quickly, it was not faster than Che's eyes staring at me in confusion. He walked over to me and lifted my sleeve. Pete stepped back a little and looked at my brother in question.
"I was walking careless, so the branches left some scratches on me," I said softly, secretly holding my breath. I know my brother didn't believe in what I just said.
"...."
Silence spread in the atmosphere. I turned my eyes away and looked outside. While Che' continuously stared at me.
"Who the fuck are you?" Pete yells as he could not stand this awkwardness.
"My brother, Porche' and this bastard is Pete. Oii, Pete, pay respect to, my brother." I tried to joke to lighten up the atmosphere but seems like it didn't work.
"Hi." Pete raised his hands and waved at my brother, who doesn't bother to even a glance at Pete but stares at me with anger in his eyes.
"I am sure nong doesn't believe you. Damn... when you're angry, you look like that too!" Whispered Pete again as I sighed.
"I thought you weren't home, I didn't see any shoes."
"I took them off at the backside of the house....Phi hasn't changed at all, what happened to you?" Che' asked in a raspy voice. Sitting between me and Pete. I glanced at my wound again.
"Oh, it's just uh-a bullet grazed my arm. Nothing else."
I said in a soft tone.
"Bullets?! You got hit?" Che' shouted loudly.
"Stop screaming, my ears ache!"
"How can this be alright? After this, then what?" He continued to scream at my face.
"I am fine," I said softly. I didn't even dare to look at him.
Che' continued grumbling and forcing me to quit my job, so Pete had to take a step back and go to the dining room to leave us alone.
At the time of the incident at the shooting range, I just followed my anger and never had the thought to stop. Maybe that is one of my weaknesses. When I am angry, I tend to lose control of myself. But after this, I must think a lot before deciding. If it is only me, it is okay.
However, Che would dig my grave, curse at me, and won't let me die in peace. I was just thinking about that when I saw his face that was looking at me so disappointedly.
"Don't do this again. You have to get out of that organization!"
"Che', I promise this won't happen again. I am sorry." My voice softened before turning to look at Che and gently rubbing his head.
"I don't believe that. I am afraid something more serious will happen to you." He said with trembling hands.
"No, there won't be anything else. I promise everything will be fine."
"This time, if your head had been shot, what would you do?" He asked again.
I kept saying that I wouldn't quit.
"I am tough you know!" It took me a long time to comfort him.
"I have a strange feeling about this. I am worried about you, are you not?" His eyes flickered, and I ruffled his hair softly.
"You think too much."
"Really Phi, I have been having a strange dream too."
He held a serious expression on his face with his hand holding on to my arm, asking me to believe what he said.
"What dream did you have?" I asked back.
"That Hiaa is crying."
(* Hiaa means brother)
Che' was even more uncomfortable, and this time, he spoke in a trembling voice, lowering his head as if he were thinking of an image in his dream.
He closed his mouth tightly and looked back at me worriedly before inhaling sharply. Making a nervous face, he then finished putting the bandage back on my wound.
"Can you leave this job, I am feeling uncomfortable, Phi. That dream feels real. I keep crying, but I couldn't do anything." The fact that his voice began to shake meant he is serious about this, so I had to reach out, grabbing his neck in my arms and jokingly smacked his head.
"Stop the drama, I am embarrassed in front of my friend."
Pete who was still sitting, waved at me and my brother, smiling as if to say, "finally you guys noticed someone sitting over here!"
I shook my head gently as if I must calm him down with a gentle head smack. I don't know what the future holds, and I was not surprised that Che' was so distracted. This intuition of his was probably because he kept thinking about me doing dangerous work. He is going to continue being like this. So, I thought over the things that happened and felt bad for him.
{SOMEWHERE}
"He is the current center of attention in the house, especially Khun Kinn," the voice said as he stared straight at the young man puffing a cigarette in his
mouth.
"He is daring and has high self-confidence, how could he not be interested?" Chestnut-shaped lips emitted white smoke, spreading all around the room.
"That's right." The other man clenched his mouth tightly, keeping his gaze.
"He must taste good...What do you think?" In a hoarse voice, the smoking guy anxiously asked the man in a black suit in front of him.
"Well, just like how you want it a real man." Said the voice before silently staring at his handsome face.
This man has a character that was hard to decipher because he could act courteously on the outside, but cold and dangerous on the inside.
"I usually do before, but this is getting annoying." The ashtray was thrown over a small clear glass. He knows exactly who Kinn has arranged for the night and knows very well what kind of taste he likes.
He always arranges those matches beforehand so he could act before Kinn. He wants the other surprised.
He's addicted to the feeling of satisfaction he had by doing something secretly behind his back. If he had known that Kinn would want the same thing that he does, he would have died of annoyance. Not to mention Kinn's has a very loyal people who are ready to surrender their own lives for the first family.
"What will you do next?"
"He wants him, doesn't he?" He asked a thrill in his voice.
"As far as I can see, he probably does." His brows are furrowed before speaking his mind.
"If not, I will be attracted to him. You know what I like," Said the dark voice with a grin playing at the corners of his lips.
He still couldn't let go of the topic of their conversation. A man who catches attention at first sight, who looks strong and arrogant on the outside. The guy who has masculine tastes and of course is always offensive. After all, he didn't like someone with a cute and slender figure, he prefers the pleasant manly smell.
"Tell me whatever you want me to do." The man wearing a black suit was irritated to hear that. He sighed, and then looked back at his face.
"Follow him everywhere, watch whatever he does, then look at Kinn's attitude towards him. The more Kinn likes him, the more I want him for myself."
4
Anakinn's interest in that person has doubled his enthusiasm. He will do whatever it takes to win against Kinn to give him the most painful agony.
"Yes, I will." The man sighed exhaustedly, as he thought how attractive the image of that person was. He realized that he was doing treachery against the main family but that is fine, at least using the person in front of him to separate the master from that bastard. He was annoyed and he hated it so much.

"Let us talk more about the business regarding the sending of new drugs. I have reached out for your directions and if you are ready, let me
know."
"Umm. Let us look at two more routes. I thought I would bring more. The police are being lazy these days." The two of them talked about their private business for a bit before splitting back to do their own lives.
PORSCHE
"Porsche, you bastard! I am getting goosebumps, fuck!" Tem shrugged his shoulders away from me as I rested my hand on his, then brought my nose closer and sniffed his neck.
"Let me do it, just a second. "I said in a smooth voice. Now I'm sitting at the wooden table. I was experimenting with something right now, but everyone swivels around, scream and move away from me.
"Shit! Motherfucker! Porsche, I don't want to." Tem said as he tried to push my face away.
"You are acting weird Porsche, don't you think?" Pete asked me.
Yes, today he followed me to the university according to his plea last night and it turns out he's not messing around as he wore a white shirt and lengthy pants to make himself look better.
"I just wanted to know how you feel. Damn, Tem." I brushed my friends' hand, but Tem hurriedly moves beside Pete immediately.
They already know each other because they got drunk and crazy together at the bar recently and need, I remind you that Pete came here to see girls.
"Tem, so how do you feel when someone sucks your neck like that?" Tem's expression changed from being frightened to be confused. Looked at the bandages wrapping my neck.
"What the fuck!" I instantly put my hands to cover the tape around my neck. I can say I have three plasters on each side! One bite mark and two kiss marks on both sides. Damn it!
"Who sucked your neck like that?"
"Who sucked what? I just want to put a bandage on it." I said frowning. My left leg under the table is silently shaking and my face was already paled.
"Yes, yes. I believe you. You're short-tempered lately, why is that?"
"N-Nothing, bastard!" I said and tried to calm down, but Pete continued looking at me with a funny the the

the grin on his face.
"What?" Pete asked when I stared back at him with squinted eyes.
"What is wrong with you? If you have something to ask, ask directly. Doing strange behavior like this is quite intimidating you know." Pete only laughed and looked at my other friends. He whispered something at Tem. I bet he told them about what I have done with Arm.
"Shut up!"
"Did your taste change?" Asked Jom.
"Come on, you don't need to be embarrassed, we are open to such matters, Tem still applauds Kinn for being handsome until now." I fell silent as soon as Jom talked about the bastard.
"Bastard! I didn't change the taste. I still like big breasts!" I replied in frustration.
3
"Do you like Khun Kinn, Tem? Well, my boss." Pete seemed to be interested in Jom's words. I didn't let him finish and immediately spoke.
"Let's go to the class and start learning."I was a little annoyed by hearing that idiot's name. I really wonder why I always get anxious just by hearing his name.
2
"You can go for a walk and do whatever you want. If you are hungry, go to the cafeteria there, when the class is done, I will call you."
"Are there beautiful girls here?" Pete asked, looking around.
1
"Well, there's none here in the Faculty of Sport Science 'coz the students are mostly boys. You can go to the Faculty of Communication Arts, to find lots of beautiful girls." Jom said, suggesting another building in the distance.
"Cool, I'll go there!" Pete said enthusiastically and Jom pointed him the way.
We went up to the building. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't get to know Pete in the mafia's house. He was the one who treated my wound, he woke me up last night to take medicine and changed my bandages.
2
I asked him not to tell Tem and Jom about the incident because I am too lazy to answer their questions. They also didn't notice because I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt to cover it up.
After I finished my classes, I called Pete back to the faculty. He smiled from the cafeteria and walked toward me. I guess the girls must have liked him.
"Hey, what have you got?" I asked him.
"I got two rows of girls lining up!" Pete said while waving at Tem and Jom.
2
I bent down to look behind him. To be honest, I haven't engaged to any women these past few weeks. I better find some spare time to hunt with Tem. I feel a little uncomfortable using Japanese AV clips to let out the steam. It did help a little, but it just felt different compared to doing it with a girl.
1
"Are you going back? Shall I drop you?" I asked Pete.
Today we came on my motorbike. At first, I suggested using the car but was amazed when he wanted to ride the motorbike with me.
"We can go together and eat at the nearest store." Pete gave me a knowing look, and I frowned when I saw it.
"If you are hungry, why didn't you eat at the cafeteria? What did you do there?"
"Let's go to the shopping mall, I am on my day off, so I want to laze around too."
Fuck Pete!! If you weren't a boxer, I would have knocked you off.
"Alright, let's go, I am hungry as well." I sighed in surrender.
My two friends also felt obliged to agree with his request. We went straight to the mall with Pete on my bike. Meanwhile, Jom rode in Tem's car.
Arriving, I quietly followed the three of them. I, as well as most men, prefer the outdoors to this mall. Besides, if I didn't need to buy things, I would never come just to eat or take a walk here unless my friends insisted on having a get-together occasionally.
"What do you want to eat. Can you hurry up?"
"Are you not happy to be out of the house for a little longer? Plus, I don't need to see our boss, so I am excited." Pete said in a joking manner.
I actually agree with what he said. However, on holidays, I would rather go home immediately to sleep. I think that doing something like this is a waste of personal energy.
2
"Let's just eat here, I am too lazy to walk further." I pointed randomly at one of the food stores.
I rarely eat at a cafe. Eating rice and curry on the roadside is good enough. They look at the menu in front of the shop and agreed on what food we should eat since it was a buffet restaurant. It turned out that the place to eat at was called Momo Paradise, a Japanese suki restaurant whose price was quite luxurious for my taste. Normally, I would pay less than a hundred baht, but today I will pay over a thousand baht for one meal. It's hard for me but it is I who chose this so maybe I should try some.
"Oh Pete, what are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice and chills run up my spine upon hearing it.
2
"Khun Kinn, hello!" Pete greets his boss, who was wearing his student uniform and was with his three friends who looked familiar. He smiled faintly as he walked straight to my group.
"What a coincidence." He looked at me, but I turned my face away to avoid his gaze.
"What are you up to?" Kinn asked.
"Oh, it is my day off, so I went to see Porsche's institute and find some girls," Pete said with a chuckle. My other friends raised their hands to waii at the group. It looks like they are third-year students whereas we are in the second year. But I won't do the same.
No way!
"Time, do you want to eat at this restaurant?" Kinn turned his head to ask his friend who answered with a nod.
"I have met my bodyguard, so let us have a meal together, my treat." My eyes flew as I looked at him with a frown.
"Thanks," My friends and Pete said in unison. We are not able to choose, but I don't have the tolerance today to look at him for a longer period of time, so it is better to go and find something else.
"Where are you going?" He asked as he moved in front of me.
"None of your business." I snapped looking at him.
"Hey, aren't we going to eat together?"
"No," I said, my face calm, trying not to look too much into the eyes of the man in front of me.
"Let us eat together. I will treat you." Kinn said, his face unreadable but his voice was long and restless.
"That is why I do not want to." I sighed.
I don't know what else he will use to bother me. The earlier incident is still glued to my mind, and I still cannot find an answer to my questions until I got tired of understanding everything about it.
"Usually, you like to extort money out of me, right? Well, today I will treat you to the most expensive food." He said as he stepped closer to me, I took a step back.
What is he doing stepping up to me like that? It shocked me.
"I won't eat with you!" I refused the invitation again.
"Come on hurry up and sit down."
Suddenly, Pete's arm wrapped around my shoulder and locked my position to sit back down with him. I tried to fight back and fought hard to rebuff but it was all in vain. The passers-by eyes at us, watching in confusion.
Probably because of Kinn's handsome face and because they have no idea what kind of person he is. A female staff member walked over to our table. Pete didn't let me go until the two of them managed to push and maneuver me to sit back on the chair. Kinn shifted to sit next to me, I was then ready to get up and leave again.
"I-what. No, if you don't sit there and eat peacefully, I will put my feet over yours like this." He said stepping on my foot under the table.
Dammit, he is smart. I pushed against each side, grunted a little, and then gave up continuing to sit there. Kinn, after making sure that I couldn't escape, came to sit opposite mine and the others completely spread out, clearly divided.
The guards sat at tables one on either side of us. Kinn's friend accepted the menu and skillfully ordered the food. Meanwhile, he looked up from playing on his cellphone and stared at me. I pretend to look across to the other side of the table, trying to ignore him.
"Have you taken your medicine today?" He suddenly asked me. I glanced at Tem and Jom in fear they might hear what the asshole has said. He always brings up that incident. The day I still remember how hard he cursed me for being so careless.
"Shut up! You're so nosy!" I answered as I leaned back on the chair, raising my hands to stop him from saying further. Kinn gave a throaty laugh and smirked.
It's the times like these that really scare me as he always likes to taunt me with suspicious faces. He really is a psychopath.
"Please allow permission to serve." The staff put the pork and beef cutlets down, then my friends walked to get the vegetables on the buffet table. There were so many dishes on the table that it was filled with fresh meat and vegetables waiting to be cooked in the black hot pot.
"Eat up."
Pete took the vegetables and meat and then dropped them on the hot pot grill. I admit it smells delicious as I have never eaten something like this before. However, unknown to everyone but myself and Pete, Kinn had turned a deathly shade of white.
"Ah. I'm okay, but can you eat meat?" Kinn dropped the meat on my plate. I slightly tilted my face and uttered profanity.
"I can still use my hands thank you."
Then I grabbed my chopsticks and put the cutlet on my plate. He smiled with satisfaction, lowered his head, and continued eating. I am the only one with a confused face. I saw the entire table was focused on eating, so I took some meat and put it on the grill. When I saw that it was well cooked, I took it and went to dip it into the sauce, but I didn't see any cup of sauce as I looked around the table.
Then I realized that everyone was not using a sauce to eat and that they just took the cooked meat and mix it in raw egg then eat like that. Isn't that strange?
"This Japanese sukiyaki is eaten with raw eggs," Kinn said. The egg in the cup was far from me.
"You can try mine first, my eggs are not fishy."
1
Suddenly I heard a cough, it was Pete's choking voice right after Kinn finished speaking. I looked at him in surprise then turned around and kept looking at Kinn.
2
Your eggs are what?!
"I don't want to eat that."
Then I stuffed my mouth with the raw meat without dipping it in any sauce. It tastes good anyway. But dipping it into a raw egg? I don't want to get diarrhea.
"What the hell or do you want to eat something fishy? I have it too." Kinn took the egg cup back to its original place. His face looks irritated, and he sounded annoyed.
"Don't mess with me today!" I used his own words against him.
"It's delicious," Pete said as he chewed. I continued to eat, the taste of the food starting to replace the irritation in my chest. All right this is not so bad.
"Do you not like to eat vegetables at all?"Kinn asked because, for my third course, I eat more meat and do not even come close to vegetables at all.
"Yes!" I answered in annoyance.
"Weak." He mumbled under his breath.
I took a deep breath, trying to ignore his words. The more he talked about it, the more he won the hearts of people like these rascals beside me.
"Do you eat mochi?"
Now I am sure, he wanted to start a conversation with me, how annoying it feels. I lifted my head to stare at him angrily.
Can I eat in peace? Bastard.
"What is mochi? A dessert?" I asked. Is he going to bother me again? I don't have any idea what it is just by looking at it, so he might take me for someone ignorant. Oi, I knew it, okay.
"Huh? No, Mochi is a type of flour! Oh! Try it." Kinn laughed while shaking his head and clipped the soft flour out of the bowl and put it on my plate. I looked at him in disbelief before he ate his serving of mochi. I am lazy to ask more about it and I take a bite because it looks weird and might taste good.
"Is it edible?" I asked.
"Of course, to be honest, it is just flour with regular broth."
"Can you really eat it?" Pete repeated my words, so I lifted my head and looked at him with a frown.
"Yes, I can eat it!" I answered.
"Tell yourself that." He let out a haughty laugh followed by a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What did you say?"
Seeing Kinn and Pete laughing for a long time, I turned to look at the grinning Pete. I want to ask what they are talking about but when he noticed me looking, he returned to being serious and asked me to continue eating.
What are they up to?
"Second brother!" The voice made the entire table turn to look. The tall man, as handsome as Kin walked with a confident smile toward our table.
"Hey, Vegas," Kinn said grinning.
2
"Hello, P'Tae, P'Time, P'Mew."
"Why is your cousin Vegas here?" Asked his friend named Tae, smiling sweetly at the newcomer until the man named Time pulled his head back. I am a little confused by his behavior, but I am not really bothered.
"Ah, I just came to meet my friend."
Vegas, as Kinn Called him was somehow familiar to me because he was one of the guests at Kinn's house before.
"What are you celebrating today? It seems Like everyone is gathering?"
"No, we are just having lunch, do you want to eat too? Why don't you join us?" Kinn said thoughtfully.
"Hmm. I will just sit here and wait for my friend. I promised to meet him at this restaurant." Kinn motions Vegas to sit next to him. Then he turned to look at me, I smiled back politely.
"Eat up."
"No, better if Nong sits and waits."
1
"Well, look how lucky it's Kinn who is with us today if the one to meet the hem was Khun, the suki pot would have certainly landed on Vegas' head," Pete whispers to me in a low voice, which makes me wonder.
"Why?"
"Oh! It seems like there is no way the Main and Secondfamiliesy can get along. Only Kinn can have a better relationship with them than the others."
"So, he comes from the second family."
"Yes, and his little brother Macau, the kid you were going to hit on that meeting day."
"They must be cousins, right?"I murmured back to Pete.
"Hi." Vegas unexpectedly greeted me.
"..."
I can only look at him and bow my head slightly in greeting. I don't know if he still holds a grudge because of what happened that day. Even Kinn's family cursed me, and he was the rotten boy's older brother, so naturally, he would have a grudge against me.
"Phi Kinn, he's the one who wanted to slap Macau, right?" Kinn nodded as I kept my eyes glued to the suki pot.
"Why don't you slap him? I will even let you do it twice."
He said but I don't know whether it is a joke or sarcasm. What I'm certain of is that when he said it, he smiled and laughed, but still looked polite.
"How is Macau?" Kinn said to his cousin as he took the mochi placing it on my plate again. I saw Vegas' eyes follow the little gesture. I was frustrated that Kinn took a load of food and moved it onto my plate.
"Enough. I am full." I keep the rude words in my throat because I remember Kinn's words well that I must respect him when we are in front of the second clan and his guests. So, I try to speak with respect.
"Keep eating, am I making you uncomfortable?" Vegas asked me.
I just shook my head instead of answering. Right now, it is as if there is a partition that separates me, Kinn, Vegas, Pete, and mine and Kinn's friends as if there's a wall between us. They talk and chat in a relaxed manner, it seems like it was fun, but strangely this side felt a little deranged and stiff.
"Oh, Porsche, I have been wanting to ask. Did someone hurt your neck?"
The invisible wall is broken when Time stared at my neck curiously. I am not surprised that he found out my name, this bastard Kinn often calls me when he is with his friends.
"He said that pretending to put on a bandage around his neck is a weird new trend." Tem replied and smiled. On the other hand, I saw Kinn who was leaning back on the chair in front of me, crossing his arms along his chest while smiling.
Shia! It is all because of you, bastard.
"A new trend? Wow! You?" Someone called Mew, said.
I didn't respond to anything and sneakily looked
at Kinn. Damn! I hate seeing him put on a happy face. I was getting frustrated seeing that smug look on Kinn's face until I forget that right now, people are watching me.
"It must be very hot," said Vegas who saw my face begin to blush. I didn't want to be the center of attention so I got up and walked out of there.
"Where are you going?" Exclaimed Pete.
"I am done, and I want to go home," I replied impudently without looking back.
"Hey, you'll go and leave me like this? Khun Kinn, I will leave now, thank you for the treat" Pete shouted, and after a while, he followed me.
I hurried to the parking lot and immediately started up the motorbike, which Pete hurriedly jumped on the
back of.
"Your attitude is really bad. Just finished eating and walked away." Pete looked up as the motorbike sped away.
"You want me to take you home right away?"
"No! Tonight, can I sleep at your house? Play a game or something. I don't want to go back there."
"No, so you better go back to your house."
"My house is in another province I want to play on your home computer. You said you have a lot of games on the computer."
I took a deep breath. I don't know what has possessed Pete today. All day he was stuck with me and now he wants to sleep at my house.
2
Shit, Pete! I rushed home because I wanted to sleep and rest! I guess it is because Pete interacts with that bastard Kinn a lot, so he started catching Kinn's annoying virus.
"Are you not working tomorrow? How are you going to get back? I don't want to get up early." I quickly denied him, because I only had a ten o'clock class tomorrow, so I wanted to sleep a little longer.
"Oh, I will take a taxi, so take it easy."
As soon as I got home, I fell onto my bed. Today is very exhausting just like during working hours. Instead of being happy and enjoying my college time outside of the mafia house, I had to meet that damn Kinn again.
"Take your medicine."
Pete walked over with the medicine and a water bottle in hand. Once he toured around my house, he immediately walked to the kitchen. It also felt weird to have someone watch over me and bring my medicine.
"I will clean your wound a bit," Pete said as he pulled the first aid bag from my closet.
"You don't have to take care of me this much," I said, scowling at the same time. I know that he is good, but maybe this is a little too much right?
"Come on."
I kept silent and pulled my sleeves up letting Pete wrap them in a new bandage. I took a peek outside and found no shoes. Che' is not yet home, I'm relieved. Because if he saw this, he'll definitely ask lots of questions and I'll have to explain everything.
The sound of footsteps coming from the next room made me pull my arm out of Pete's hand and pull the sleeve of my shirt down.
"Phi is back. I knew it!" Che's face looked happy at first, but when he saw me, he suddenly stopped. Even if I could cover my wounds quickly, it was not faster than Che's eyes staring at me in confusion. He walked over to me and lifted my sleeve. Pete stepped back a little and looked at my brother in question.
"I was walking careless, so the branches left some scratches on me," I said softly, secretly holding my breath. I know my brother didn't believe in what I just said.
"...."
Silence spread in the atmosphere. I turned my eyes away and looked outside. While Che' continuously stared at me.
"Who the fuck are you?" Pete yells as he could not stand this awkwardness.
"My brother, Porche' and this bastard is Pete. Oii, Pete, pay respect to, my brother." I tried to joke to lighten up the atmosphere but seems like it didn't work.
"Hi." Pete raised his hands and waved at my brother, who doesn't bother to even a glance at Pete but stares at me with anger in his eyes.
"I am sure nong doesn't believe you. Damn... when you're angry, you look like that too!" Whispered Pete again as I sighed.
"I thought you weren't home, I didn't see any shoes."
"I took them off at the backside of the house....Phi hasn't changed at all, what happened to you?" Che' asked in a raspy voice. Sitting between me and Pete. I glanced at my wound again.
"Oh, it's just uh-a bullet grazed my arm. Nothing else."
I said in a soft tone.
"Bullets?! You got hit?" Che' shouted loudly.
"Stop screaming, my ears ache!"
"How can this be alright? After this, then what?" He continued to scream at my face.
"I am fine," I said softly. I didn't even dare to look at him.
Che' continued grumbling and forcing me to quit my job, so Pete had to take a step back and go to the dining room to leave us alone.
At the time of the incident at the shooting range, I just followed my anger and never had the thought to stop. Maybe that is one of my weaknesses. When I am angry, I tend to lose control of myself. But after this, I must think a lot before deciding. If it is only me, it is okay.
However, Che would dig my grave, curse at me, and won't let me die in peace. I was just thinking about that when I saw his face that was looking at me so disappointedly.
"Don't do this again. You have to get out of that organization!"
"Che', I promise this won't happen again. I am sorry." My voice softened before turning to look at Che and gently rubbing his head.
"I don't believe that. I am afraid something more serious will happen to you." He said with trembling hands.
"No, there won't be anything else. I promise everything will be fine."
"This time, if your head had been shot, what would you do?" He asked again.
I kept saying that I wouldn't quit.
"I am tough you know!" It took me a long time to comfort him.
"I have a strange feeling about this. I am worried about you, are you not?" His eyes flickered, and I ruffled his hair softly.
"You think too much."
"Really Phi, I have been having a strange dream too."
He held a serious expression on his face with his hand holding on to my arm, asking me to believe what he said.
"What dream did you have?" I asked back.
"That Hiaa is crying."
(* Hiaa means brother)
Che' was even more uncomfortable, and this time, he spoke in a trembling voice, lowering his head as if he were thinking of an image in his dream.
He closed his mouth tightly and looked back at me worriedly before inhaling sharply. Making a nervous face, he then finished putting the bandage back on my wound.
"Can you leave this job, I am feeling uncomfortable, Phi. That dream feels real. I keep crying, but I couldn't do anything." The fact that his voice began to shake meant he is serious about this, so I had to reach out, grabbing his neck in my arms and jokingly smacked his head.
"Stop the drama, I am embarrassed in front of my friend."
Pete who was still sitting, waved at me and my brother, smiling as if to say, "finally you guys noticed someone sitting over here!"
I shook my head gently as if I must calm him down with a gentle head smack. I don't know what the future holds, and I was not surprised that Che' was so distracted. This intuition of his was probably because he kept thinking about me doing dangerous work. He is going to continue being like this. So, I thought over the things that happened and felt bad for him.
