CHAPTER-12

-THIRD PERSON P.O.V-

The next morning Boun woke up with some fluffy hair on his face. He opened his eyes adjusting to the sunlight. The next thing he felt was a heavy head on his chest. He looked down and saw his pao hugging him tightly. That's what they love about Prem the guy never left a chance to cuddle Boun. At first, he didn't like all the touching but soon he started to enjoy the warm feeling himself. And those last 3 years Boun never got the warm touch with anyone else. Boun had a few dates here and then but for none of them, he felt the way he felt for Prem. Maybe the black-haired boy captured the blonde's heart way before he realized. He started to think about how it would be to be in a relationship with Prem. What it would be like to wake up every day next to this adorable boy? Thinking about this he smiled. He really wanted Prem to be his. But he had to wait. He wanted to focus on the case for now. He didn't want to let the killer get away again.

Boun untangled himself from Prem and went into the bathroom. He took a cold shower and came out of the bathroom. He saw Prem sitting on the bed with his adorable bed hair pouting and looking at the table. "What's got you all pouty?" Boun asked as he started to dry his hair. "Oii Hia next time take your phone with you when you go to the bathroom. It rang so many times. UGH." Prem said and took his towel and went into the bathroom. Boun made his way to the side table and took his phone. He saw 5 missed calls from Kao. He got really anxious. He immediately called Kao back.

"Hey Kao. Found out anything?" Boun asked as soon as Kao picked up. "Good morning to you too. And I called to inform you that your father is clean. He doesn't have any type of shady things. He doesn't have any more money than he is expected to have. He doesn't even have any contact with shady people." Kao said. Boun was relieved but at the same time a little confused. If his father was clean why was he acting weird? Even though Boun was never fond of his father yet he had a lot of respect for him because of how well he treated his mother. "Listen Boun I am gonna be completely honest with you your dad's background was way too clean for my liking. I mean he is a politician. All his coworkers, oppositions everyone expect him had something wrong. But he was totally clean." Kao continued. "What do you think we should do now?" Boun asked since he was really confused himself. "I don't know Boun. If Yatch was right and it is someone influential we need to work quickly or they would close the case again with some bullshit." Kao replied. "Okay umm my dad isn't home come over we'll discuss it face to face," Boun said. "Okay, I'll bring Earth." "That'll be nice see you later then." Boun finished talking and hung up the phone.

After talking to Kao, Boun let out a deep breath. He sat on his bed and started massaging his forehead since it was hurting from all the new information he gathered. He was very overwhelmed with the situation. As if it wasn't exhausting enough already, with his family involved he became even more anxious. He felt like passing out. He rested his back against the headboard of the bed.

"Hia are you okay?" Seeing Boun like that Prem rushed next to him. Prem put his hand against Boun's forehead to check if he had a fever. "Pao I am okay. I am just a little exhausted. I'll be fine. By the way, Kao is coming over we are gonna discuss a lot of things." Boun said. "Hia I think you should take a little break. I know you want to find the killer as soon as possible but seeing you like this I feel really bad. You gonna get sick if you continue acting like this." Prem scolds Boun sitting next to him. Prem puts his hand on Boun's cheek. "I promise it's gonna be over soon and then I'll take a break. Okay?" Boun said and put his hand over the hand which was on his cheeks. He gave Prem a small smile. "Now let's go downstairs we don't want Ohm and Fluke to come here and say how coupley we look," Prem said as he made his way towards the door. He was surprised when he felt a pair of hands circling his waist. He let out a squeak. Boun put his head over Prem's shoulder. "Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for comforting me." Boun said. His breath hitting Prem's neck which sent shivers to his body." H-H-Hia don't do this." Prem stuttered. "Why not. Does this make you shy?" Bous asked getting his face closer to Prem. Prem was blushing like a tomato. "Boun Prem are you both gonna spend the whole day in bed." They heard Boun's mom call out. Prem pushed Boun back and ran downstairs. Boun smiled a little and also made his way down.

Prem was helping Boun's mother to cook. Ohm and Fluke were out on a jog. Since Boun had nothing to do he decided to go around the house. They had been in their hometown for 3 days already yet Boun still hadn't check out the whole house. He hadn't been there in 3 years. He made his way towards his father's office. No one was allowed to go inside this room. But he knew there was alcohol inside. He sneaked in multiple times to steal some alcohol during his high school time. He smiled thinking about the good times. Since his father wasn't home he decided to go inside. He didn't have the key so he went around the backyard to that room's window. His father never locked it. He went in climbing the window.

The room was the same since he left. Just there were more documents scatter all around the room. He saw the mini freeze where the alcohol usually was. He was just looking around when a certain bag caught his eyes. It was a black bag. To everyone, it would be a normal bag but he recognized the bag immediately. It was Samantha's favorite bag. She took it with her everywhere she went. He was scared to see what was inside that bag. He opened the bag and saw multiple cutouts from newspapers, bank statements, other documents but what caught his attention was a picture. He picked up the picture. The picture was really blurry and dusty. He cleaned it a little. He became really shocked to see the picture. It was the picture Yatch was talking about in his letter. It was taken in the night and there he was. The head of the gang. It was his father. Seeing this, everything became clear to him. He understood why his father was acting weird. He got his phone out to take pictures of the evidence he found but suddenly he heard some footsteps coming this way. To his horror, he heard his father's voice. He couldn't get caught with this. He closed the bag and took the photo with him and ran towards the window. The moment he got out he heard the door open and his dad comes in.

Boun sat in his backyard trying to cope with all the information he just got. He felt awful to even think about what his father did. It was clear now that his father was the one who killed all his friends. He didn't know when he started crying. He thought about how his mother would cope with it. Even if he did all the awful things his father was still one of the person his mother loved. He was again stuck between two choices. This time between justice for Samantha, Yatch, and Bosston and his mother's love. He was again in the same situation as 3 years ago. He never wanted to experience that feeling he felt 3 years ago again but here he was feeling way worse than before.

But this time he knew what he had to do. His father would never be the same person ever again at least in his eyes. He knew if he didn't choose justice now this painful feeling in his heart would go on. Id his father could kill 2 innocent people he could do anything. He was now a monster in Boun's eyes. He decided he wanted justice. But he knew only this photograph wouldn't be enough. He wanted his father to confess his crimes. For that, he needed the help of his friends.
