Loved But Forgotten

Familiar

(A/N: I was thinking whether to cut this chapter into two parts because it's longer than usual - almost doubled - but then I decided "meeh!" I haven't updated for quite some time so the length makes up for it.)

The incident of last night made Khun Korn mad. He even kept Arm, Pol, and Pete from Tankhun's disposal as a punishment for 'conspiring' for such a filthy act together.

"You, showing everyone that you can do whatever you want? Was it so fun displaying your privilege?" Khun Korn scolded his eldest son.

Pete was anxious for the head boss rarely raises a voice, and now what happened in the bar got him so mad, he was yelling at Tankhun.

"Pa—"

"Be quiet!"

Just as when Korn's eyes landed on the three bodyguards; Arm, Pol, and Pete lowered their gazes at the same time, afraid to meet the boss' eyes.

"I expected that the three of you will at least stop Tankhun from doing anything stupid but you even helped carry out the act! Especially you, Pete!"

Pete flinched at the special mention. He's the head bodyguard of Tankhun's security team, of course, Khun Korn would expect more from him yet what did he do? He disappointed him. Nonetheless, he secretly enjoyed what befell that creep from the bar. He did feel bad but... yeah it was really funny.

"You're grounded for two weeks, Tankhun! No drinking, no partying! You won't even drink inside this house anymore."

"You can't do this to me! I'm already an adult, Pa!"

"Then act like one!"

Tankhun's face crumpled, about to throw a fit but Korn went on.

"For now, I'll pull them out from your authority—" He nods at three bodyguards. "And if you still won't behave, I will completely change guards and put Arm, Pol, and Pete in the minor's household. Then I'll leave Chan to handle you, how do you like that, huh?"

"As if you can do that when we all know my bodyguards are the best here in this household."

"Don't try me, Tankhun..." Korn sighed. "I'll have your bodyguards at my disposal for now. Pete—"

His breath hitched upon hearing his name again.

"Khun Korn?"

"I want you to go to this location." Korn handed him a file. "One of the small gangs who participated in the slaughter on the island owns this shop. It's a café during the days and during the night, they open the underground nightclub. There's a rumor that they're having drug trades inside. I want you to scout the place. We don't know much info about this gang as they are still new to the business. Look around. Stay low key."

"Pa! I'm not gonna let go of Pete! Ask Chan to do this, I don't care."

"Tankhun! Do you want an additional punishment?" The boss threatened, his eldest son has so much more to say but Pete took it upon himself to make him quiet.

"Khun Noo, I can do this."

"You just got into so much shit lately, you don't have to take on another."

Yes, it's true. This is another mission and he's still not at his best state but he can't just reject this one. He has to prove that he's still worthy to be called the the vice-head bodyguard of this house. "I'm okay Khun Noo. It's nothing I can't take."

"Good." Khun Korn speaks again. "You will go before the night falls. For now, go to the training grounds, Chan wants you to help him train the new bodyguards."
