Pete engulfs Porchay in a tight hug when they meet. "You, Kittisawad kids. How do you guys manage becoming more and more handsome every time I see you?"
"I heard that," Vegas says matter-factly, making Pete roll his eyes in annoyance. "For the nth time, HE IS JUST MY BEST FRIEND! Anyone who has eyes knows Porsche can't keep his hands out of Khun Kinn."
"He's not your boss anymore."
"Old habits die hard."
"Well, try to kill that habit harder then."
Pete is about to burst, but Vegas is already walking away. "Eat first, babies, before you play."
Porchay is eyeing Macau at this point, asking for some explanation. But Cau only plasters a silly smile.
"It's their love language," Macau says when they are moving further inside the house.
"Huh?"
Macau chuckles. "Ah, the idiocy to be young."
"Hey, you're only three months older than me!" Porchay punches Macau's shoulder. He swears he has put some force in it, but Macau doesn't even flinch. "You should really start doing martial arts, Chay. I hate to cry like a maniac at your funeral."
"I work out. You know this," Chay refuted.
"Not the same," Cau kicks back. "Working out is to make your body and stamina in a better shape. Martial arts will teach how to endure the most pain. All of the Theerapanyakul kids learn it since young."
"I am not a Theerapanyakul."
"With P'Kinn as your brother-in-law, it's a tomayto tomahto type of thing."
Vegas who hears that statement says, "You want me to teach, Chay?" He pops a grape into his mouth before feeding one to Pete.
"Porsche won't allow that. You teach like a psychopath," Pete says. Vegas is giving him evil eyes but Pete returns it with a sweet smile. "You're lucky you're cute and I love you to death, you know that." Vegas returns his attention to Chay. "How about it? Cau can join. I swear I'll go easy first on you babies."
Porchay's eyes find Cau's. Excitement burns their blood. They both then said, "Sure," with confidence.
Pete is chuckling. "Don't say I don't warn you, ok? And V, when Khun Takhun is storming your way with a baseball bat, I will give him the keys to our house."
"Hey, where is the loyalty?" Vegas raises his voice a notch.
"In the gutter because I know you will hurt my babies! And I warn you now, if he knows about this ...," Pete pauses but his face looks troubled. He steals glances at Chay who looks confused. Are they still talking about P'Takhun? But Chay feels it's a different person.
Vegas is smiling now, "That's the fun of it, baby!" he says, slapping Pete's ass as he walks away from the dining room.
Pete huffs. "Psychopath. I really end up with a psychopath," he murmurs. "Eat first, then play!" he then says to Porchay and Macau, trying his best to be stern. Both of the kids just give him huge smiles for it.
***
It's already nine p.m. when a knock is heard in Macau's room. "What?" the owner yells, too busy working out how to win a game to Porchay.
A sound that someone is disarming the safety alarm attached to the door is then heard. It's Pete, looking really troubled. "Let's go," he says in a hurried tone. "Khun Kinn called you both to the main house."
A grim feeling settled in the bottom of Chay's stomach. Is it Porsche? But if it's because of him, why bother calling Cau also?
They both go without a protest.
