The next day, Zee went down to meet his mom in the dining. He's no longer the grumpy and distressed Zee the passed days, he's back on the way he would greet every one. The tension in the mansion somewhat loosen up.
"Good morning, honey", Zee's mom greeted him.
"Good morning,mom", Zee replied sitting across to her.
"It's been awhile since sit together here, having meal", she added.
"Yeah",
After awhile, a maid came to them and informed them that there's visitors, Zee's took a deep breath knowing it might be Jennie and his parents again, but he was shocked to hear Jimmy and Park, with Tommy and Poppy.
"Oh, Auntie. Good morning.", Jimmy waied, and the rest too.
"You seem surprised?", Zee's mom replied.
"Well, yeah. Whenever I visit at this hour, Zee's always alone here.", Jimmy added, Zee's mom smiled.
"Have you eaten your breakfast? Join us, Jimmy and Park,you two.", she looked at Poppy and Tommy at the back. Park and Jimmy pulled them, finding their seats.
"Thanks for the meal, Auntie.", Park grinned.
"Tsk, you pighead.", Zee growled at Park.
"Hey, we paid you a visit since you're sick, it's the least that you can do..", Park added.
"Ah, ah. Let's eat.", Zee's mom chuckled. "By the way, what's your name?", she asked, looking at Poppy and Tommy.
"Uh, I'm Poppy",
"I'm Tommy"..
"My boyfriend", Jimmy added, gaining a big stomp on his feet. He groaned out of pain. "Why?", he said looking at Tommy.
"Who's your boyfriend?", Tommy glared back him, the surprised Mrs. Panich suddenly laughed.
"So you are the protective friends of Saint..", she remarked, now the Jimmy turned to look at her, Park, Tommy and Poppy did the same. Zee isn't suprised of their reactions.
"You knew about Saint?", Jimmy asked Mrs.Panich.
"Yes, Zee told me.", she replied.
"And you're fine with it?",
"Yeah, I'm very fine of it. Though, I'm quite jealous cause Saint seems the most important person in Zee's life now," she looked at Zee, Zee bit his lips. "... still I'm happy that on the times I didn't get to care Zee, he had Saint on his side.",
"But Auntie because of the engagement.."
"I know, that's why I'll do everything to talk to his dad.", Mrs. Panich replied.
"Is that mean you're accepting Zee's wanting not to marry, Jennie?", Park asked, making her smile.
"Yeah, I am. I can feel Saint and Zee's feelings to each other, it's not too late for them to get back together right? As long as they love each other, I'll support my son."
"Whatever it takes Auntie?"
"Whatever it takes.", she reassured, Jimmy leaned on the chair.
"It's 6 to 5 now..",he added.
"6 to 5?", Mrs. Panich queired.
"Yap, it's Zee, me, Tommy, Park, Poppy plus you, Auntie.. and we'll, it's Jennie, Uncle, Jennie's mom and Dad, and.. Saint?",
"Well, I guess it's 7 to 4.", Mrs.Panich trailed. ".. cause I think they're trying to going back together now..", she then looked at Zee, who looked at her, eyes widen. The rest there now thrown a suspicious look on Zee.
"Don't tell me you heard me last night?",
"Uh, no. I eavesdropped actually. I'm sorry. I just wanna know how you sound when it comes to Saint", she teased Zee, immediately blushing.
"Oh God, Auntie. If only you know.", Jimmy shook his head.
"Hey.." the table soon became full of laughters until ..
"By the way, Auntie.. where's Uncle?",
"In a business trip.",
"Business trip? In a mess like this?",
"Yeah, he suddenly informed me that he's going to Chiang Mai.", she replied.
"Chiang Mai!", all of them said in unison.
"Why?", she frowned. "Zee?",
"Saint is in Chiang Mai.", Zee replied.

Saint headed to the grocery to ran an errand for his Grandma soon as he see Joss in the airport. Joss left and will be going back to school maybe tomorrow or the next day. He was walking towards the parking area when he felt someone's following him. He put the groceries at the backseat and was about to open the front seat when he someone grabbed his shoulder and turned him forcefully. His eyes widen when he saw a man wearing a black suit, red substances which Saint believed to be blood can be seen scattered anywhere in his suit. Saint tremble.
"What..",
"Help me! Please help me. Someone's following me, please help me.", The man lose his balance,and fell unconscious in Saint's shoulder.
"Oh my God. What the heck!", Saint exclaimed. "What if they follow me then... Oh my, where am I gonna bring you!", Saint heard someone talking and he panicked. He immediately pushed the man inside the backseat, his groceries fell on the floor. He started the car and drove as fast as he can. Without any ado,, he drove to his grandma's house and had him rested on his bedroom.
"Who's that?", His grandma asked soon as he came out of the room.
"I don't know", Saint replied nervously.
"You don't know? How come you brought him here?",
"I'm sorry, Grandma.i couldn't think of any place to bring. He asked for help because he said someone's following him..",
"What!! What if something bad happened to you!",
"I know! But I couldn't just leave him behind", Saint trembled and fell on the floor.
"My little muskateer", Saint's grandma immediately hugged comforted the still trembling Saint. "Let's go to the kitchen first, calm down first. Let's just ask him when he wakes up", she added gaining a nod from Saint.
After awhile, Saint and his grandma is now attending the person who's now having a meal on the dining. He let him used his late dad's clothes who amazingly fit on him. The man looked like he came from a rich family, it depicted on his fine and classy way of eating. He doesn't seem like he's just from somewhere, Saint thought.
"Uhm, sir, who are you?", Saint broke the silence, the man stopped eating.
"I'm... Johnny Howard.", the man replied, and looked straight to Saint's eye. Saint flinched when he looked at him, and somewhat felt strange.
"Johnny Howard? A foreigner?", His grandma asked.
"No, I'm a Thai", he replied. Saint could actually resemble someone on him, his features like the nose and the arc of his lips, the way he move and the way the man talk. He acts exactly like Zee, but he denied his thoughts by his reason, the guy's surname is Howard, Zee's is Panich. But it could be that the guy is hiding his real name! No? Yeah? Saint groaned his frustrations on his mind.
"How old are you?",
"I'm..39 years old.", Saint was pulled from his thoughts when his grandma shook him.
"Are you okay, honey?", she asked.
"I'm fine, it's just, he looked like someone I knew", Saint looked to the man and he noticed how he flinched, but he ignored it. "Do you by chance know someone named Pruk Panich?", he added, studying at the guy. "Sir? Do you know one?", The guy fell silent.
