VP 02 (His Heart)

Third Person's POV.

In two days, Pete was unconscious. He was checked and taken care of by the Main Family's personal doctor. Khun Tankhun, Arm, Pol and especially Porsche knows what he has been through. Right after Pete managed to escape being held captive by Vegas, the conflict between the two family started, giving Pete no time to rest.

They all know how physically drained Pete was. But more than the bruises, scratches, injuries and beatings Pete recieved, it was the untamed emotions, empty feelings, his ripped soul, and mind mentally unstable that everyone visibly felt when Pete woke up. They all sensed how broken the man is, and they all know they are not the one who could heal nor ease the Head bodyguard's pain.

Being himself, Khun No approached Pete first. As cheerful as he could be, he tried to make a conversation with his beloved Pete, only to receive a small, forced smile from the latter. Khun No might be acting crazy and childish, but he knows how to comprehend things, after all he's still the eldest Theerepanyakul. He knew very well what Pete aches for.

"Arm and Pol nowadays are suspicious, do you know that? They kept on talking behind my back! What's worse? They would laugh at the things I don't know about! How could they?!"

After several hours of entertaining Pete with his stories which the latter didn't even listened to and just stared nowhere, Khun No finally gave up.

"You're useless. You don't even listen! I will head outta here now. Hmp! " He bids his good bye to Pete, although Khun No sounded like a bratty kid, he knows Pete understands his language. Before totally going out, he hugged the weak bodyguard as if telling him that everything's gonna be okay soon.

"Pete, you should come over my room and sing with me. Not here looking like a lifeless cat. "

No one told Pete yet about the current situation in whole household of the Main Family. Though it was already settled, there's seemed to be missing. The surroundings were quite, peaceful to be exact. It is as if the bloodshed happened the other day didn't occured. The massive deaths that became the collateral damage by the clash of two clans were finally cleaned. Dead bodies were properly sent to their respective family along with the compensation.

Those men from the Minor Family that surrendered were now under the custody of the Main Family. Nop was the one leading them.

As for Khun Gun's funeral. It was held at the Minor's residence. Managed by P'Chan along with the help of Macau and Nop. There's still some loyalists that visited, some were the former business partner of Khun Gun. And there's random ladies who passed by also, it was rumoured that those were Khun Gun's women.

As per the advice of the doctor, after Pete woke up, they gave him another whole day to rest.

After Khun No left the room, silence resurfaced. It seems like Pete were caged in another universe. Unable to even move, he's just sitting on his bed. The things from the day he was captured and held captive by Vegas, those moments they shared, the food, the medicine with their first kiss, Coco, phone calls, the kiss they had at war, when Vegas ran away, and the news...

Vegas was shot.

Those thoughts were running repeatedly on Pete's head.

Only that man occupied every corner of Pete's mind. He's sure even his soul is screaming for that certain name. He wanted to know where Vegas is right now. He wanted to ask how is Vegas, is he fine, is he breathing, is he freaking alive?

But above all of it was the fear. He's scared of what could've possibly happened. He's scared that his hope would vanish if Vegas were... He doesn't want to even utter that word. He's that scared that even the thought of that word gives him uncontrollable pain.
