"Smoking isn't so good for you, you know that right?" Kavin turned around and saw his younger brother, Phuwin.
"Oh, Phuwin? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" He asked curiously. Did his brother skipped classes? He didn't wanna ask, but he wanted to know.
"Something happened at school. Classes has been suspended because of it." Kavin nodded and blowed the smoke away from them, he didn't sant his brother coughing too much because of him.
"Phi, Don't you wanna have a better work? I'm worried, P'Godji's bar isn't that safe." his brother stated. He looked at the teenager and smiled a little.
"I'm trying to look for a much more better job, but being with P'Godji is also fun isn't it?"
"Yeah, but you getting home sober is quite rare though." Phuwin rolled his eyes while giggling.
"Hey, i only drink occasionally alright?"
"So everyday's an occassion?" Phuwin folded his arms and Kavin tried to avoid his gaze.
"Yeah, i know. I'll try to avoid getting home in that state. Does that make you feel any better sweetcheeks?" Kavin pinched his cheeks and smiled at him.
"Just...be careful at work Phi. There are lots of thugs or some jerks who can swing by anytime." Kavin nodded and threw his cigarette.
"I know, i saw lots of them already. I actually don't care as long as they don't hurt you."
"That's not the point P'Kavin-"
Kavin covered his brother's mouth to stop him from talking further.
"I know i know. Calm down Phuwin, i'll remember everything you told me." he smiled and Kavin rubbed his hair.
Kavin's relationship with his brother was something he hopes that would stay the same forever. He's like a besfriend of his, and his family.
You see, Kavin and Phuwin lost their parents at a very young age. They died in a car accident and they had to live for themselves. It wasn't easy, however Kavin had to stay strong for his brother.
Every night, Kavin always had to go to work and he had to look as presentable as possible. Walking by the dark alley felt unsafe yet so cozy for him. Once he entered the place, it was full of party lights and loud music.
"Kavin there you are! I have been waiting for you for awhile now" Kavin laughed and looked at the girl right in front of him. She was older and she was the owner of the bar.
"Mama Godji you don't have to be overdramatic, i was late for 10 minutes." Godji smiled at the statement and said..
"Alright alright i was joking around. How's Phuwin?" She asked.
"He's doing great, i told him to focus on his studies. You know, this kid seems like he's going to pursue music. He's really good." Kavin was mixing some alcohols and he was serving it per customer.
"I wanna hear him play sometime you know, You both are like my kids you are growing up so fast" Godji acted as if she was crying and Kavin looked at her weirdly but giggles at her sudden action.
"Mmhmm i know Mama Godji we love you more." He gave her a card which was an access to the storage room and she knew that Kavin needed assistance, precisely he wanted her to get a bunch of ice.
Kavin continued to make more drinks while doing a bunch of tricks to impress, the loud music still surrounded the whole club. Everyone was having a good time..but..
"Thyme you son of a bitch!" one of the men shouted while running after a guy, basically because of a simple thug fight some people might guess. To tell you this, it was way more deeper than that.
Thyme climbed a slightly tall gate, hoping that it would stop them from chasing him. But they were 5-7 men who had a weapon, but couldn't shoot because they didn't want to attract way too much attention from the people around. Attracting people from making a sound would mean their plan was a failure, so they made it seem like a simple thug fight by the street.
Thyme who was still on the run, was slowly running out of breath, noticed this club and suddenly heard the backdoor open. It was a tall, slightly bulky guy and seemed like he went out to have a break. He had a cigarette in between his lips and he was wearing glasses. He was really attractive but that wasn't something important right now. He might be a person who can help him.
"Hey, help me with something." Thyme breathlessly asked. The stranger looked at him and quietly observed him, he noticed that this man might be worth the talk. He might get more profit from him.
"Help you with what?" Kavin asked.
"Some guys...they're after me." Thyme tried to point out. Kavin saw a bunch of men coming towards them and the man in front of him had a bruise on his cheek. He must be in pain, but he also might have money.
"50 thousand baht" Kavin proudly said. He knew that he was the only person who can help this man so he was confident that this guy had no other choice.
"I-I don't have that kind of money right now, i'll give it to you right after." Thyme said while trying to catch his breath, but Kavin saw his expensive watch. He knew that it was worth way more than just 50 thousand baht just by looking at the diamonds surrounding it.
"Just give me the watch." Kavin said, and Thyme handed him the expensive watch without any hesitations. Kavin smiled by just looking at the watch and now he knew he had to help this guy after their deal, so he kept the watch and had to prepare himself.
The men who were trying to catch Thyme was nearly approaching, Kavin already knew that this was about to turn into a big ass chaos. Once they were right infront of Kavin, he took his glasses off and placed it on his pocket while mumbling...
"Let's get this over with." he looked at these bastards and punched one guy to another. One of them tried to pull Kavin and threw a punch, so hekicked him and quickly got a wood to hit them with. Thyme also helped him by fighting the other remaining guys and they succeeded. When they were all weak, they still tried to stand up but Kavin pulled their hair and kicked them one last time.
Thyme was all sweaty and he was tired, same as Kavin. So right after they fought all those men, they ran into somewhere they were hoping that no one ever knew.
"Those assholes drained me so bad, who are they?" Thyme looked at him fiercely and rolled his eyes while trying to catch his breath.
"Nosy." he complained, Kavin's eyes widened at the words this man chose to say.
"Shithead, i just saved your ass from getting beaten up. Atleast be thankful." Kavin scoffed and looks away, kind of pissed. He looks at Thyme and observed how the man's condition was. He was pretty good looking, he was pretty hot if Kavin was being honest. But this guy is annoyingly ignorant, he thought. His eyes were fixed on the man but then he saw this black, expensive car pulling up on right in front of them. Thyme walked towards the car and walked in. He pulled down the window and said..
"I'm Thyme, thanks for helping me back there." Before Kavin can even speak up, the car engine started and started moving away. Kavin looked at the watch in amaze, while thinking about how crazy these events just happened right in front of his eyes. While watching the car drifting away, he thought about Thyme. How can someone like him be involved in such things that leads him to be chased? Unless, there were something deeper. But, why did he ask for his help? It could be anyone, but why him? Is this all happening for a reason?
