Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 43

The day of the dinner finally arrived and both Rain and Payu were surely stressed about what was about to happen. Payu parked in front of Kim's mansion, they got off the car and Payu immediately held Rain's hand firmly. Rain was getting so nervous that he started adjusting his tie whenever he was in front of something that could reflect his image. The first person they met was Arm, who waited for them near the entrance.

"Khun Venice, I'm so glad to see you again. Your relatives are waiting upstairs" Arm said and bowed a little.

"Good evening, Arm. This is my boyfriend Rain. Rain, this is Arm, he is currently uncle's Kim assistant but he has worked as a bodyguard for our family for years, am I right Arm?" Payu said using an almost jokingly tone, so that Rain could calm down a little. Arm smiled and nodded, then he showed them the way.

"Khun Venice and Khun Rain are here" Arm announced. Rain froze immediately, he would have killed the bodyguard if he could, since right after he had announced them, everyone in the living room stopped chatting and turned to look at him. Tankhun was about to say something but Porchay glared at him and then approached the young couple with a cheerful smile.

"My beloved Venice, I couldn't wait anymore to see my dear nephew. And you must be Rain! Pete talked to me a lot about you. I swear that I've never heard him reserving so many compliments for someone, you must feel honored. Arm, do you mind ask if the food is ready?"

All those words confused Rain, who still felt like he was in a room full of people ready to judge him. As his eyes wandered from one member of the family to another, he felt less and less at ease. Porchay proceeded to introduce each of them and the more Rain looked at them, the more he felt out of place. Everyone looked so perfect, but at the same time they all managed to strike him for a specific trait.

For example Rain immediately noticed Kim's cold attitude by the way he was sitting near the couch where is other brothers were. Tankhun stood out for his eccentric clothing, although it was much less noticeable than the way he used to dress when Venice was still just a kid. Another member that almost frightened Rain was Porchay: Payu portraited him as the cutest among his uncles, and it was true that he was extremely kind, for some reason Rain imagined a short and almost goofy guy, not a tall and charming man like him.

"You can sit there, next to Pete" Porchay said as he pointed at a chair near Venice's father. Despite his true intentions, Chay wanted to make Rain feel comfortable so that he could examine him for a longer period, fearing that Venice could intervene too much if Rain felt too nervous. That's why he preferred to set the living room in a way that would have forced Rain to sit next to someone he actually knew.

"So, what do you study, Rain?" Macau asked.

"Architecture" Rain responded, showing that he wasn't in the right mood to make longer answers.

"And you met Venice there? I believe his former boyfriend studied architecture too" Porsche asked.

"Yes, Som is a senior of mine..."

"Do you live far from your faculty?" Kim asked with a subtle smile, knowing that he could use that question to introduce the topic regarding Rain's family and expose him.
