BLAKE'S POV

The first time I met him was when I stayed late to go over some documents on one of our contracts. He had that captivating smile which earned my curiousity. See, I wasn't a believer of love at first sight but then he happened.

Then I learnt of who he is. Bren Vongviphan, my Boss' brother-in-law and I knew then that there are red flashing lights around that boy. If Forth Jamonrhum, or should I say, Kantaphon Luang is already scary then his husband, Dr. Beam, who happens to be a Neurosurgeon, scares me more. Man, he could murder me in my sleep or something.

Also, I wasn't expecting that boy to give me the time of the day. I am just a subordinate of his brother-in-law and he is from a prominent family. I am no match for him. So I chose to admire from a distance.

It turns out that said boy also has a curious bone in his body and decided to chat us up, Sora and I, whenever he visits. Usually our Boss is busy pampering his husband and said boy doesn't want to be in their presence as according to him, they attact ants with their sweetness.

Sora isn't much of a chummy guy and always leaves us alone to work on new games to develop. He usually ends up working at the Koi Garden, the one Boss had set up for those wanting peace in the house. I think he predicted having rowdy boys, not that I'm complaining. Beej and Jay are tamed compared to others around their age.

Yeah, I got to know the lad. Turns out he is fun to have around, aside from the pretty face and killer smile. Don't forget those chinky eyes of his that goes missing when he's super happy. Now I'm getting off track. I was surprised that he enjoys my company and how he could be so straightforward.

Bren would usually hang out in the office when he drops by to visit the boys, even if his brother and my Boss are not around. Later on, we even get to hang out outside his brother's home to watch a movie or for a cup of coffee.

He later on admitted to liking me and would like for us to explore the possibilities of being in a relationship. I was shocked. I didn't expect that from him and I told him that. I was honest with him and told him my apprehensions which got shot down since my number one concern is my social standing.

"Mama and Dad doesn't give a shit about that Phi. Besides, you're a well-known engineer...a successful one at that so you should not be worrying about that" Bren told me with a goofy smile.

I looked at him then with a worried smile. "Bren, it's not like I don't want you okay? What would people say when they find out your dating an older guy? We have a big age gap you know"

He glared at me, like cutely glared. "I don't care! To hell with them. I'm the one being in a relationship with an older hot engineer. They can talk all they want but as long as we're happy, fuck them"

I chuckled and caressed his cheek. "You're cute, you know that? Stop glaring. It only makes me want to squish you more"

That day, I finally agreed to what he wanted. I gave it a shot. He was like a happy bunny whenever we're together and he is never ashamed to be seen with me. One time, my Boss asked me about it and I decided to be honest.

"Thread carefully Blake. I don't want to lose a very good COO. Beam will definitely be out for blood if Bren gets hurt" he told me.

"Don't worry Boss. I won't do that to him, not intentionally of course. I'll protect him the best way I can" I gave my word.

And then that week we had in Krabi. I knew Lady Jamornhum was able to observe us and it wouldn't take long before the "whole family" knows about it. Well, I've got nothing to lose though. If the Vongviphans are really against it, they should've done something already right?

We were having our alone time that night in the beach. We were sitting beside each other along the shore and I have him wrapped in a blanket so he won't catch a cold. You could say that we were cuddling, yeah, we're fluffy like his brother and my Boss. That was the time he told me about his identity, that he was Dr. Bo's son from another woman.

It didn't make me love him less. I don't care who his parents are, what matters most is how he was treated and raised. My heart was aching for him when he told me about his biological mother, of how his eyes doesn't even show any emotion. I'm just so thankful Dr. Beam's mother loved him like her own.

The night wore off and we slept in each other's arms. Nope, we haven't done it yet. I'm gonna be honest and say that I've been holding myself back from jumping him. All we've done so far is to make out and feel each other, that's all. I don't want to pressure him into something he's not ready for.

Besides, he's still studying and he loves his course too much. Did I tell you he's taking up Psychology? Yes, he is and he loves to analyse me and the people around us whenever we go out, just for the fun of it.

Oh, I love him so much and I make sure he knows that, as well as the rest of the people that matters. I'm not ashamed of dating a college student. I'm proud to say I'm with him because of genuine feelings and not because of who his family is.

I know we will be facing a lot in the future, especially if word gets about his true identity. I just wish nobody would ruin what he has right now or there will be hell to pay.

A/N: I've always loved Nine's cutie face. I have him in Rise Up and Without Me but not with Joong.

This is the first time I'm using their pairing. I've had a little glimpse of 2Moons2 and it was mostly their scene...where he kicks Joong out of the bed 😂😂😂 it sure gave me laughs...but it will always be the original cast for me...I do love JoongNine and PavelDome as they are

See you in the next chapter. I'm up for fluffy for now.
