Loved But Forgotten

Rescued

"You're hungry." Vegas declared when Pete's stomach started growling loudly that it gathered everyone's attention.

Pete was flustered. He feigned a laughter while he shyly strokes his tummy. "Hehe... please don't mind me."

"Don't be shy, Pete. We're all as hungry as you... it's just that you're stomach complains a lot." Pol joked.

They haven't had anything except water since last night. They're all hungry, restless, and dirty.

"So, can we kill her now?" Vegas speaks again, he gestured at the woman lying beside Kim. She's finally awake but she's staying quiet.

The woman's eyes were terrified, she scooted closer to Kim as if asking for protection but the latter only looks at her without emotion. According to Kim, he saved her – the reason why she clings to him.

"What?" Vegas decided to push it further. "We're all just keeping you here so we'll have something to eat if we get stuck here longer."

The Suwanamas girl looks at each of them. "Wh-What are you saying?!" Her voice was hoarse.

"Eating you is just a repayment! We need to survive here." Porsche sneered. "Your family is the reason why we're here."

"No, they're not!"

"Then who?" Kim chirps in.

"I-I don't know. Please, believe me." She even held onto Kim's hand. "We didn't plan this. My family won't hurt me like this."

Pete sighed and raised a hand. "Okay, let's all stay calm here." Then he glances at the woman. "What's your name? Do you have a clue on who could be behind this?"

"My-My name is Neen..." She answered still looking wary. "I don't know much about the family business so I don't have a clue on who plotted this. My dad just wanted me to meet a potential husband at the party. I-I can assure you that this is not our family's fault."

Vegas narrowed his eyes. "And why should we believe you?"

"K-Khun Vegas..." Pete gently patted the man on the arm. "Let's not make assumptions. Maybe, she's telling the truth."

Vegas sighed. "Fine. Only because you said so."

Pete smiled to himself at that. Does he really have a hold on Vegas?

"So now, we have to decide what to do." The latter started again, acting as a leader. "We can't waste any more time or we'll get hungrier as the clock ticks off. We have to find food, or at least, we have to take over the yacht."

Kim nodded in agreement.

"But can you guys still fight?" Porsche asked.

Pol raised a hand. "Maybe I can take down three more men but after that?" He shrugs. "I don't know. We've been fighting since last night."

"How about you, Pete?"

Pete huffed. "A man can only adapt, Porsche. Even if I say I can't, I don't really have a choice."

"The good news is, we may have a choice." Arm looks at them with a relieved smile as he raised the Sat Phone Vegas put in his care. "We got some signal and I'm trying to contact Khun Noo."

Pete's face brightened at this. Without much thought, he jolted from his place and pounced at Arm, giving him a hug. "You're the best, Arm! I swear I can kiss you right now, man!"

However, four-eyed quickly pushed him away. "I know you're happy, Pete but no kissing! I don't wanna die yet."

"Huh?!"
