Chapter 7: Willpower

"You've been awfully quiet for years. Why now?"

"Because your daddy dearest doesn't want to get his hands dirty. Isn't that why you're here?"

A gunshot resounded and before any of them could react, the head of the person in the center of the room exploded, the innards and bones covering the other three occupants of the room.

"Your wound is starting to scab. You should be fine now." Macau tells Kim and the older simply nodded.

"Have you decided on our vacation destination?" Kim asks him. Knowing that the younger has also come to collect debt.

"Yes. I think New York is good this time of year." Macau smiles and hands Kim a business class ticket. "The flight is a week from now. I'll pick you up!"

Porchay woke up earlier than usual today to prepare breakfast for him, Porsche, and Kinn which he is now carrying as he asks one of the bodyguards on Kinn's floor to knock. He will not be making the mistake of walking in again without announcing his presence. There are just some things you'd wish you could scrub off from memory.

Kinn opens the door wearing his signature silky pajama bottom and open robe. "Oh hi, Porchay! Come in!" He ushers the younger and takes the tray with the food and coffee.

"Good morning P'Kinn!" The younger greets and gladly hands the tray to him as it's starting to hurt his arm.

"Porsche is just in the bathroom." Kinn says and ushers them in the eating area by the garden. "You need permission for something, don't you?" Kinn asks Porchay with a smile. He may still need to know the younger Kittisawat more, but one thing he knows is that Chay likes buttering them up when he's about to ask something big.

Before Chay could answer, Porsche joined them and hugged his brother from behind, kissing the top of Chay's head. "You're getting taller by the day." Porsche pouts at him and plants another kiss on his cheek.

"Hia!" Porchay protests and tries to wipe his cheek.

"What?! You're embarrassed now when I kiss you?" Porsche mocks crying and dramatically flops himself on Kinn's lap who was silently watching the brothers with a soft smile. "My teenage brother who used to cry when I forgot to kiss him when I dropped him off at school!"

"Hia, it's not that" Now Porchay is red from embarrassment which made Kinn chuckle more. "Aish! Look, Hia. I made porridge. It even has some century eggs."

Porsche looks at the table and decides to end Porchay's embarrassment and just sits on the chair beside Kinn.

"Drop it on me." Porsche says after finishing a bowl of the porridge. Kinn is still half way done with his. Kinn noted that Porsche's habit of eating fast is still ever present.

"Macau invited me to New York. The flight is in a week." Chay says, looking at his own porridge bowl, afraid to look at his brother. He had known about the trip for a while now, but with how busy his older brother had been, he just couldn't find the right time.

"New York?" Porsche asked, both surprised and skeptical.

Chay nodded and finally looked up at his brother. "Macau said there's a lot of things to do and places to visit to spark my love of music again. So, he arranged everything already."

Porsche is still looking at him with knitted eyebrows. His younger brother never left the country before, so he is hesitating a lot since he wouldn't be with him.

"Have Macau send us the itinerary including the security details by today, then we'll talk to you again tonight." Kinn finally says and it makes both brothers breath out the air they didn't even know they're holding.
