Breath (TulHin)

Special Chapter 1

The first night in years

When Gornhin returns to Metthanan's palace, the first thing he does is go to his mother and father who, when they see him, hug him  and cry disconsolately because so much time has passed since his disappearance and they have not heard from him, to the point that they both thought their son was dead; so Gornhin bows to them and apologizes for not having contacted them even once since then; but he still has to listen to their reproaches and everyone sheds tears. After that, he meets Khun Try with red and swollen eyes, who only smiled at him and said:

“Welcome home, my son.”

Khun Try is someone who knows everything, he is also someone who doesn't care that his eldest son chose him over any other woman; this idea makes Hin even more grateful and therefore, he promises to go back to work to make up for as much of the time he lost as possible.

“Staying by his side is enough.” That's all Khun Try said to Gornhin.

After that, he went around the place to greet all the workers, then he faintly hears Rassa's mocking voice saying that since he had nowhere to go, then he had come back, but then he has to keep his mouth shut when Tul says that it was he himself who asked him to return.

Hin then realized that his boss is the owner of the house.

It is not only Rassa who respects and obeys Khun Tul's orders, but everyone in the house thinks and looks at the leader the same way a very important man and above everyone.

A lot has changed in six years, and Gornhin realizes once again how successful his boss is so much so that he is worried that he isn't good enough to keep up with him.

In just six years, how did Khun Tul do it?

Thinks the young man, sitting idly in his new bedroom for Tul did not allow Gornhin to sleep in the little house any longer instead he ordered to arrange the room next to his bedroom and specifies to everyone that Hin is not a domestic worker, but is now his personal assistant, since he is a young graduate abroad and his work history for the last six years is a guarantee. How could Tul Metthanan's personal assistant live in a small room that doesn't even have a bathroom? He wouldn't even have a place to shower! Hin protested that since his parents are still in the same room, how can they make their son live better? But both parents equally agree with Mr. Tul’s orders, and both refuse to move elsewhere saying that they were used to the place where they slept forever; Even though Hin told them that he had enough savings to buy a house for them, the couple refused to move anyway. Her parents responded that they will remain there, serving the people in that house until the day they die.

From now on, he too would remain here, serving the owner of his heart until his death. The very thought should have scared him; but instead, Gornhin smiles with a decidedly happy smile despite the deep concern that the meeting with Khun Phupha is causing him, but because the child remained at his grandmother's house that whole week. So he keeps that worry on hold, because he... has a lot of other things to worry about.

*Open*

“Still not asleep?”

The leader enters the room, looking at him with unsure eyes. Even though Khun Tul has been confident all his life.

“No, I'm not sleepy yet,” Hin says, smiling. But he finds that his tone of voice is strangely nervous. Maybe because he knows that the person across the room would come into him for any purpose.

“Khun Tul, do you want to sleep in this room?”

“I'll sleep in the room where you sleep,” Tul says, then walks over and sits at the end of the bed, lifting his head and looking at him.
