Thursday √

"Where is Payu? Is he not coming, Pete?" Vegas closed the car door at Pete's side as he moved to another side. Sitting beside him, he put the seat belt on.

"He will join us later. Don't worry."

"Don't tell me he is going to bring a random sex partner among us! I don't want him to fall into the problem and then get blacklisted by the main family... " Vegas sounded seriously concerned at that moment and Pete likes this fatherly side of Vegas.

"Don't worry... I assure you; our son would do nothing that makes our head lower in front of the main family... Trust him..." Pete confirmed Vegas with a tone of belief. Shifting with a teasing smirk on his lips, "You seem to be very concerned about Payu, Hu?"

Vegas turned his face aside, "Who is concerned about that brat? I was just asking!" He was timid after that compliment. He sincerely loves his family. Pete, Macao, and lastly Payu. These three people are his world. He would go to any stage to protect them.

Reaching the main family manor, as usual, they were greeted by the bodyguards there. And of course; Tankhun was there to welcome Pete with a bone-breaking hug.

"Welcome back home, My favorite bodyguard Pete!"

It would be wrong if Pete says he wasn't struggling with that bone-breaking hug. He chuckles as he gasped for air, "Khun No- can't breath-"

"Oh! Oh!" Tankhun let go of that tight embrace as his eyes meet Vegas; a face with an unpleasant expression. "Whatever... Where is Payu? That brat didn't come along with?"

"He will join us later, Khun No."

Warping his arm around Pete's shoulder Tankhun took his favorite bodyguard inside the manor with him. And Vegas just followed behind with a bored face. It happens every time, and he hates it. Still can't do anything— because he doesn't want to get hit by Tankhun's tray and get scolded by Pete at the same time.

In the meeting room, Kinn and Porsche were already present. Kim was just minding his business on phone with a deep frown; the poor thing had fought with Porchay this morning again.

Kinn and Porsche were welcoming to the Minor family. After Khun Korn's death; Porsche handed the minor family ring to Vegas. That responsibility has been heavy on his shoulder; so leaving it to the rightful owner was his decision. And Kinn respected that decision; even after still can't wholeheartedly trust Vegas.
The same goes for Vegas tho; trusting the main family is kind of hard for his gut.

Anyway, even tho they were present two people were supposed to be present among them; and the absence was loud.

"Where is Yai?" Kinn asked Tankhun.

That was the moment when the door opened and Yai entered. With an apologetic manner, he bowed towards them, "Sorry Uncle Kinn for being late."

Kinn nodded slightly as he gestures for the latter to take his seat beside Tankhun. Yai sat with his head lowered. Feeling a bit anxious beside his Pa.

"Where is Mangkorn, Porsche?" Pete was the one to ask that. Of course, he will ask for him— after all, he is the next Supreme leader after Kinn.

"He left early this morning as bodyguards informed me. He is not joining us." Porsche informed.

The atmosphere in that room was tense and reserved. It was dull.

Kinn had a deep frown on his face, "Mangkorn is way too much irresponsible. Anyway..."

( let's skip to the end of the meeting 💀)

Kinn thought of taking a walk beside his nephew Yai; while the lunch was getting organized. They were walking along the fancy fountain.

"I do appreciate your punctuality, Yai. Your sense of catching up with a moment is praiseworthy too. I hope you will keep it up and develop throughout moving ahead. You are more hopeful than Mangkorn. In meantime; maybe you will be the supreme leader after me. Be prepared for every moment."

Every of Kinn's words was heavy on Yai. The latter has already been stressed with a bunch of stuff; now these are making him more depressed than he was. The weight of responsibility and brutality at the same moment; he wishes to be a child again and hide among his Pa's fancy clothes inside the closet. His childhood best safe zone to hide.

Meanwhile, Vegas and Porsche were watching Tankhun non-stop blabbering with Pete. Nothing new.

"Why don't you go join them? It's unlikely of you to stand here, all silent." Vegas low-key teased. But it seems to not affect Porsche enough to react.

"Hy Vegas... Have you ever wondered why kids grow up so fast?"

"Because they are human. They are not Pokemon to stay small forever." Vegas rolled his eyes at the end of his answer.

"I am serious you fucker! Damn it! Talking with you about the kids is bullshit!" With this Porsche also joined Pete and Tankhun. He sat beside Pete.

Meanwhile, Pete noticed that Tankhun was upset today. It's not like he was silent; he is loud and fancy as always but something seems missing in his eyes and smile. They seem to be hiding something and Pete can see it.

As Porsche joined, Tankhun and Porsche talked. Pete had to interrupt them, "Khun No, are you alright?"

That was it. Tankhun's grin fades away slightly; replacing it with a kind of friction that is so unlikely to him.
"Pete... I think I failed as a Pa..." That's all he said.

Porsche frowned deeply with worry, "Why are you saying this, Tankhun? Yai is the best kid among all of them— did anything happen?" He exchanged a glance with Pete.

Pete can understand that Tankhun doesn't want to tell them. At that point; he can't force him. Also, he can't stop worrying. The same goes for Porsche here. Seeing the most active and lively person like this; felt wrong. Maybe he should talk with Kinn about this. Or, should he ask Yai?
