You Belong to Me

🧑‍🎓Commencement👨‍🎓

Three and half years later....

Macau and Nao were in their suite getting ready for their university graduation. They have had the suite to themselves since the war. Macau wanted to make Chay proud of him, so he buckled down and took his studies seriously. He was graduating top of his class in Engineering and third out of all the faculties. Nao was graduation top of his class in Architecture and second overall out of all the faculties. They each both had a 3.98 and 3.99 GPA, respectively. They had no idea who beat them, but that person must have had a 4.0. It was rumored that the person completed their studies online, but Macau and Nao could not imagine that as the online curriculum for the university was more intense than attending classes.

Nao: I wish Chay was here to celebrate with us.

Macau: Yeah, today is a bittersweet day for everyone.

Nao: Is Porsche finally going to clean out Chay's dorm room?

Macau: No, he wants it left how it is.

Nao: I guess it does not have to be cleaned out, but doing so would give you guys some closure.

Macau: Yeah, I know, but Kinn does not have the heart to make Porsche do it.

Nao: Yeah, I certainly was not expecting to come back to the mess we walked into at the hospital that day.

Flashback to the day Chay flatlined...

Macau and Nao were dropped off at the hospital by Khom. They rush up to the VIP Ward and see a crash cart going into a room and outside the room against the wall and on the floor was Kinn and Porsche and they were crying. It took both Macau and Nao to get them into Top's office. Vegas helped when he saw how they looked. Macau asked Vegas what was happening, and he was told what went down at the warehouse and that Chay and Kim were critical. Everyone just sat down on various chairs and the couch and waited.

Top came in about an hour later and told us Chay flatlined, but they were able to resuscitate him, but he had fallen into a coma. Porsche started crying and Khun collapsed. Top went to Khun and held him while Kinn tried to console Porsche. Vegas, Pete, Macau, and Nao were shell shocked. They figured it would have been Kim, they were not expecting it to be Chay.

Back to the present...

Nao: Don't you find it weird that Nampheung and Evan flew in for graduation?

Macau: No, Auntie is sweet on the both of us, you know that.

Nao: Yeah, but it has to be bittersweet for her too.

Macau: Out of all of us I think she is holding up the best.

Kinn: Shouldn't you two be getting ready instead of discussing how everyone else is doing. This is the day for both of you to shine.

Macau: Wow, when did you get here?

Nao: I never noticed.

Porsche: You two never notice anything. Hence the reason we have to have extra guards on you.

Vegas: Now, Porsche, that isn't true, my brother notices things.

Pete: Yeah, like Nao's butt.

Khun just cracks up laughing and Top sighs. Things are never dull with this family. Though he is happy that the tension left after Korn's passing. The kids seem to be getting better with the exception of Porsche. Porsche misses Chay and Top had to put him on depression medication because he quit eating and would not leave his room. Kinn could not get him to do anything, though finally after a couple of weeks on the medication he started coming out of his room and then finally helping Kinn with the business and leaving the mansion. Now, he was cracking jokes, things were looking up. They all go to their seats to watch the graduation. They are proud of these two.
