The New Kid

Fancy Dinner and Late Night Talks

Late February, 2020

War was stressed. For someone who's raised in middle class family, he really wasn't trained for this type of event. War currently dressed in a fancy suit, had his hair and make up done by professionals. He looked insanely good but he felt so out of place.

Grandma Rosa said this will be one of those gala dinner with fancy red carpet and media representatives present. War already wanted to puke thinking about all those flashing cameras.

Not to mention, Yin was behaving strangely since they went back from the institute.

The ride home was extremely quiet and full of tension. This wasn't the first time War had ever ride on Yin's black Range Rover but this time there wasn't a sick teenager in the back seat. It was just him and Yin. An irritated Yin.

War also quite confused. Because Yin never displayed such irritated behavior before. Made him wonder what's going on between him and Great. War's first impression of Great was good, he helped him after all. So, he wondered what could've happened that made their relationship rocky.

War was grateful when they reached home because it's gotten quite scary having to deal with this Yin.

Apparently fate didn't want to separate them for long though because the biggest car that's supposed to bring them together to the venue was broken down so they had to take two separate cars.

Grandma Rosa didn't want to ride with Yin because of his speeding habit and Win, who apparently had bonded with her because of that one video call when he was sick, wanted to stay with grandma Rosa and P'Kla. So, War was stuck with Yin again.

He's also in the mood to drive one of his sport car which means speeding, which means double the stress for War. Nice.

(War had tried to convince Grandma to take him in the same car but Grandma said it's not gonna look good on the red carpet if he came out from the front seat in a sedan type of car)

The loud engine of Yin's sport car attract quite the attention but War's had his own storm in his mind that seem to be getting louder the closer they were to the venue.

"Nervous?", Yin's voice pulled War out of his jumbled thought.

War glanced at him from his seat. Yin looked handsome, well, that's just something that everyone could see. His focus still on the street but War could see he was no more feeling irritated.

"Yeah," War lowered his gaze to his cold hands "I mean, I've never been to this type of event and thinking about the red carpet just stress me out"

Yin didn't say anything as he turned left. War could see the venue ahead and his heart beat just increased.

Yin sped up his car and they arrived at the front of the building. Many photographers with their cameras already waiting, wondering who's gonna come out of the car. War was almost shaking from the nerves and when they were about to get out, Yin turned to him.

"Breath", he made War turned towards him, "You'll be fine, it'll be over before you know it"

War looked straight to Yin's dark orbs. He had such an intimidating gaze but this time they're grounding War and made him feel safe.

"Just follow my lead", he said before opening his door "Wait until I opened your door"

Yin was welcomed by flashes of cameras once he got out of the car. He wasted no time to get around to the other side and opened the car door on War's side. Once War stepped out of the car the questions got louder and the flashes got more intense.

"Khun Anan, who's that?"

"Are you Yin Anan's date?"

"Is he the rumoured new addition of Wong family?"
