MIDNIGHT DAYDREAM

Chapter 36

Ps: I'm in a hurry to finish this book as soon as I can.

"I know he's a fucking psycho but I don't know he's this damn lunatic!" Porchay grumbles under his breath.

"At least it gets you to talk to me again."

"So it's not true?"

"It's true. Pa left a will and all that jazz."

How come he is so calm when he says that? Chay gets closer and hisses "You killed that bastard. How the fuck he left a multi-billion empire to you?"

Kim shrugs. "It has always been his obsession. He said I will be the perfect ruler. True, though. Profit shoots up to 7% so far."

Chay pinches the bridge of his nose. "Undo it."

"I can't. I have reasons."

"Undo it. Please!"

Kim takes a look at Porchay. Really looking. His body slightly trembles. There's a shade of tears that is yet to fall in his eyes. The evidence of worry in the face.

"Are you ... scared for me, baby?" he says while widely smiling. He looks like a kid in a toy shop.

Porchay looks at Kim like he speaks the bullshit language all of a sudden. "Just undo it!"

"I can't, Phicaya! I need this title to move freely. Those bastards and bitches need to be eliminated. For some stupid reason, they are hunting you and I don't like it. So I decided to be the hunter myself. People need to learn they can't touch you. Somehow they underestimated me. Must be because of my pretty face."

"Will you stop joking?" Porchay shouts.

"I'm not joking!"

"I won't be with you if you're still heading the family."

That puts a shock on Kim's face. "That is not fair, Pichaya! I do this for you, for us."

"I don't want to be fair."

"So you rather be dead?" Kim shouts out of frustration.

"I rather you not be dead!"

Kim scoffs. "I'll be fine."

"You don't know that," Porchay feels all of his energy is seeping out of his body. Kim is not listening and will do whatever he wants to achieve his goal. "Why are you doing this anyway?"

Kim grabs his face, "Because I love you! I know my shitty world won't let you be. Even if I let you go, they won't let you be. We've tried that! Now it's more because they know there is me and you, not just Porsche's little brother. They will hunt and hurt you because they know that's the only way they can get to me. Please, Pichaya. Just this one time. Please, let me do what I can for us."

Porchay, of course, understands thoroughly what Kim is talking about. But he also doesn't want Kim to risk his life for him.

"I've been doing fine for the past three months."

"You're doing fine because Vegas put his people around you."

Really? He doesn't know that. "But you must've known that then."

Kim shakes his head. "No. He employed people outside of the family. His old contacts and some new ones I don't even know."

"Then I'll be fine here."

Kim looks at him like he is some unschooled child. "With me coming here, that's not going to work."

Porchay scowls. "So it's your fault." He grabs Kim's wrist to force the man to let go of his face. But damn this man is strong.
