First navigated Bangkok's vibrant nightlife, the neon lights reflecting off the Chao Phraya River as he drove to the exclusive nightclub, Eclipse. The memory of his encounter with Khao lingered, a sly smile spreading across his face. Now there was no time for playing nice, he looked forward to Khao begging for pleasure and release.
Upon arrival, First was greeted by the club's opulent entrance, where a velvet rope parted to grant him access. Inside, he spotted Neo, who extended his hand in greeting.
"Hey, P'Earth. I didn't know you'd be here," First said, confusion etched on his face.
Neo and Earth exchanged guilty glances. "Let's just say, P'Earth here didn't want to pick you up," Neo chuckled.
First defended himself, "You guys are dramatic; I'm not that bossy, and I can drive."
"We know, but I feared someone would dock my salary." Earth bantered, ruffling First's hair, but First swiftly slapped his hand away, resisting the paternal treatment.
Earth's affectionate nature with First stemmed from their familial bond; he treated First like a younger brother. Despite Earth's wealthy background, he chose to be First's chauffeur to remain by his side. He fretted that First's messy relationship with Khao would break his heart and change him forever.
As they drank and joked, Earth became the target of good-natured teasing. The night wore on, with the trio dancing, laughing, and indulging in revelry.
Suddenly, Earth remembered, "Hey guys, I almost forgot. Khao invited me to hang out with his friends. Want to join?"
Neo enthusiastically agreed, "I'm in!"
After a moment of silence from First, Neo and Earth turned to him with expectant gazes, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
First's expression remained noncommittal. "What?" he asked, lighting his cigarette.
Neo's face contorted into a pleading expression. "Bro, don't say you're not coming?"
Earth added, "It'll be fun; you need a break from work. Time to put the CEO hat aside."
First's voice took on a serious tone. "There's no time for such trivial things; business comes first." However, he softened his stance, "Besides, owning the company doesn't mean I'm free. Khao's my PA, not a friend."
Neo rolled his eyes. "Of course, what did we expect?"
Neo knew First's workaholic tendencies, but this was excessive. Typically, First embraced fun, which explained his eagerness to join Neo at 10 p.m. tonight.
First shrugged, and they continued their nocturnal escapades.

Khao tossed and turned, anxious about First's absence. Alone in the house, he wondered where First had gone. At 5:30 a.m., reality hit: their investor meeting loomed at 10 a.m. "Where is he now?" Khao thought, frustration etched on his face. "I've got a stressful boss, indeed."
Khao's morning routine began with a refreshing face wash, followed by brushing his teeth and changing into comfortable attire. He then headed downstairs for a quick breakfast – toast and coffee to kickstart his day.
With his morning necessities taken care of, Khao proceeded to First's study to prepare files and documents for the presentation. Amidst the documents, a photo caught his eye: a young First with his parents. Khao's heart swelled; First was adorable.
"The bastard was so cute," Khao thought, chuckling.
Just then, Neo interrupted his reverie.
"What are you doing?" Neo asked, his tone curious.
