Pete's POV

"Is this too much..?" some mumbles left my lips as I check myself in the mirror. Black pants, white tee and a light blue shirt on top of it, buttoned up just to the chest.
(Pete's outfit in ep 14 at the end:))
I wonder if this is okay. I'm caring too much ugh. It's just a meet up. This is always a problem. Usually when I go to his house at night, I would wear my suit so it's not a problem, but this is our first ever casual meeting. I hope I don't overdo anything.

"Pete. You going there to talk not on a date - stop it" snapping out of my thoughts, I wore a necklace and picked my phone walking out. I'm glad no one noticed me and I was safely out. I just informed one of the gaurds that I'm going on a walk since I'm bored and walked to the restaurant. The restaurant is pretty close and also I don't want anyone to spot my car at the restaurant and know about this. Best way is to walk.

Soon reaching, I walked in looking around for him. There he is, he changed his shirt to a black cotton one with black pants and oh gosh he looks good. He's looking down, kinda sad. Ever since meeting Vegas, this is the first I saw this expression from him. I walked towards to him "Vegas" he suddenly looked up and smiled "Pete. Hey.. Take a seat" he said as I sat down . He did treat his wound finally, thank god "do you want something?" I shake my head "just tell me Vegas. What happened this morning?" I asked

The restaurant was so empty and we were in the corner seat. I don't even see staff that much. Vegas sighed "my dad came.. " "and? where did that bleeding lip come from?" He stayed silent "your dad did it right?" I can see his head go up and down in a nod. He looks so vulnerable. Without thinking, I walked to the chair beside his and sit down hugging him softly "why?" The tone of my voice got softer.

"He always does. Our family isnt as pretty as it looks Pete. My dad doesn't love me Or my brother, cause I can never be like kinn" I felt a pain in my heart hearing this. Why compare yourself to your cousin. "why compare?khun Kinn is khun kinn and you are you isn't it?" "Cause my dad wants me to be kinn. It isn't so easy. He wants me to beat kinn in everything but I keep loosing to him. Everything. You're lucky Pete. You look at everything so brightly" my hands went to his cheeks cupping them "it's not that" I caressed his cheek "my dad forced me to box when I was young. Whenever I lost, he would beat me up. Until one day.. I won" "so he stopped beating you right?" "No... He kept going. Later on I knew my dad himself boxed but never won" my eyes fell on his face as I continue "he beat me up not because I didn't play well or sucked, its cause he sucked. He took that out on me. Like you Vegas. You're not the one who sucks-" "my dad does?" I can see he feels offended. And I get it. Its his dad after all "he never beat his own brother did he?"

My hands gently caress his cheek as I rest our heads together "Vegas, it's not you" I closed my eyes "it's not your fault" I felt him slowly hug me back. I can't even imagine how much pain he is carrying. To be compared by parents is the worse. His dad looked so nice in front of us, what a jerk he is. I can totally understand why Vegas is the way he is. It's partially his fault too though. He took everything negatively and instead of striving to be different, he remained same. But at the same time a part of me knows how difficult it is to get out of this mentality. It was so hard for me as well. "Pete" my thoughts stopped as I hummed looking at Vegas "I'm sorry for the morning today* he whispered and kissed my neck " I didnt want to let out my anger on you" "but next time dont you dare do that. that hurt my feelings" playing with his hair I gave his cheek a kiss.

Believe me Or not, this little interaction we had makes me feel close to him. Vegas isn't bad, he just needs someone to take him out to the light. He's just weak at heart. He needs that hand to lead him out of his little dark world. I hope you can find someone Vegas , but I also hope it was me who did this for you.

"You're lost in thinking again* Vegas chuckled and pinched my cheeks " you think so much in that little brain of yours Pete" he's right. I think shit lot. But what can I do, Vegas is just living there rent free "why is there no people here though?" "I booked it for us" he suddenly whispered in my ear, making my cheeks go pink "f-for us? You even sent the staff -" "thats cause I'll cook for you Pete~"
