Easy to Forget

PETE'S POV

After P'Zee's strange look at me during that night with the fireworks, I felt a little uneasy.

He was inches away from my face. If that were a romance movie, he would've kissed me by then.

But he just said, "I have something important to tell you after the bodyguard examination. So live."

And here I was. Alive and well. Going on my second week of work as an official bodyguard for Vegas Theerapanyakun but P'Zee still had not told me what he said he would.

Though I was extremely curious about what he was going to tell me, I didn't push him for it. We had a tough week, watching seven people die in front of our eyes from poison wasn't really something calming to the nerves.

I managed to successfully cope with my fears very well ever since that night with P'Zee and I no longer needed to wear the earphones during practice. I just wore them when I was back in our bedroom at night when I couldn't sleep.

The earphones and the rectangular thing that Vegas gave me eventually stopped working and P'Zee said it was because it had to be 'charged' once in a while, kinda like the TV back home but not constantly.

I got very sad when it died and stopped playing music, but I was grateful for how long it lasted. Staying true to my words, I will still cherish it forever even when it is no longer singing into my ears.

Our guarding schedules were extremely tight and we all had to work for 12 hours a day, another 2 hours dedicated for daily trainings and practices while the rest hours of free time are all definitely dedicated for sleep.

We were allowed to go for lunch breaks and dinner breaks of course, but the time was never fixed, it was usually all depending on our schedule and P'Nop.

Thankfully, I had the day shift so I still got to wake up in the morning like a normal working human unlike P'Zee who got the night shift instead.

I guess that's also why he and I haven't been able to talk to one another, because when he's sleeping, I was working and when I was working, he was sleeping.

"Hey, Pete!" I heard P'Nop calling for me when he walked out of Khun Vegas's bedroom. Today was the day I was scheduled to stand guard outside of Khun Vegas's room.

P'Nop had been taking over Head Bodyguard Chan's job temporarily while he went on his holiday that no one knew was coming, and him also being Khun Vegas's closest bodyguard doesn't really make his job any easier.

Khun Vegas had been staying in his room since I first started officially working for him and everyone said he was mourning his mother's death in there so no one else besides Nop was allowed to go in there.

But protocol was protocol. One bodyguard must always be stationed in the room where any of the Theerapanyakun family member is located, except when they are sleeping.

"Khap, P'Nop," I bent my head slightly, showing respect and went back to standing upright in the position we were all trained to be in during our watch.
