Major mansion

Living room

Tankhun look at the handsome wedding planner wearing a perfect tailored clothes looking through the file. He can feel Tem's hand on his thigh. He is little confused why it is there but let it go, enjoying the warm sensation on his skin.

"Huh sorry about that. Hi, Myself Pond. I am your wedding planner" Kim raise his eyebrow. "Like water bodies?" Kim hisses in pain when Tankhun smack his head. He gave him a glare making Kim shut up immediately. Pond shot a professional smile.

"We have various steps before the big day. First is selecting a date, then booking a wedding venue, dresses, foods and drinks and then informing the guest. And I think you didn't fix a wedding date?"

Tankhun shook his head. "We did, we are planning to have this on the last week of next month" Pond grinned. "Perfect. Then I think instead of choosing a wedding venue next you guys can inform guests. I suppose you have guests who have to come from another country or something?"

Tankhun look at Kinn. "Well yeah my friend" Pond nodded. "Then we can start with writing down guest names and their details. We can send through a personal invitation card or letters. Which one do you prefer?"

"I think cards can be easy" Tem answered while looking at Tankhun who nodded as yes. "Okay" He took a folder from the table and hand it over to the soon to be wedded couple. "Here you go. We have various designs for the cards. You can select one or can have a customised one too."

As they took it, Pond took out a book and give to Kinn. "Meanwhile you all can write down the guests and their details. Take your time" Pond smiled once again. Kinn took the file. "Ah Kinn?"

"Yes Hia?"

"I was thinking.... what if we call only friends and relatives. No business partners. We can have a reception party with just them. Pa? How does that sound?"

Korn sighs in relief. "Thank you son. I don't want to talk business to those men in my own son's wedding. I agree" Korn shows a thumps up to Tankhun who giggled. Kim roll his eyes seeing their childish behaviour. "Okay then, friends and relatives, done"

Tankhun saw from the side of his eye how Vegas visibly relaxes. He smiles a little and resumed to look at the card samples. Kinn noted down the guest names from his side after some thinking and then passed it down to Kim.

It took some time but lastly it came to Vegas. Vegas just took the book in his hand, blinking. He couldn't even right one name. He doesn't have friends or others that he can call for his cousin's wedding. He felt his heart beating faster. Pond sighs and look at Vegas who is sitting there numbly.

"Finished?" He asked softly. Vegas look at him then at the book. He sighs and nodded. He smiled and hand over the book back to Pond. He stood up quietly and left from there. Kinn whose eyes was on Vegas for a long time is confused.

Garden area

Vegas sighs, inhaling the toxic nicotine deeply. He let it out with a small blow. The smoke filled the area. He relaxes, closing his eyes as the darkness filled his eyes. "Smoking is forbidden here" He opens his eyes startled, looking at Kinn who stood there all attractive with his arms crossed.

"There is a area for everyone to smoke. Hia will kill you if he find out you are smoking near his children." Kinn pointed at the small pond which have fishes. Vegas look at his cigerette. "There is a ashtray over there" Vegas walk upto that and smashed the cigerette in the ashtray. He come back to where he was before and slid down the wall to sit near the pond.

Kinn smiles, sitting near him. "Hia is trying to bring back mom's ways" Vegas smiles. "Aunt Mai's?" Kinn nodded. "Yeah. Even though we sometimes feels annoyed by it, it helps us to sense mom in some way. It keeps her close to us" Vegas nodded slowly.

"Thats a very strange thinking. My Pa throw everything related to mom. He said we will cling into her if her belongings are present" Kinn look at his face. His chest burn with the way Vegas looked so unreadable but sad at the same time. "I don't think that is a bad thing"

"Nobody thinks its bad. Its only Pa qho thinks that."

Kinn nodded, keeping quiet. He doesn't know what to say about these things to him. He still doesn't know in what way it had effected both the brothers so he have to be careful with his words... as well as actions.

"Did you eat?" Vegas look at him confused. "Huh?"

"Did you eat today?" He asked firmly. Vegas look down. Kinn sighs. "Come on?" Vegas look at him. Kinn forwarded his hands. Vegas look at it for a few seconds and then slowly put his hand on his. Kinn pulled it up and started to gently drag him towards his room while still holding his hand.

Porsche who was on leaning on the stairs with his phone saw him coming. He looks up from his phone, passing him a teasing smile. Kinn roll his eyes and smiled a little.

Kinn crossed the room, successfully avoiding his brothers and Macau. He then drag him to his room and closes the door. As he look back, he finds Vegas standing in the middle of the room, looking at everything like a lost puppy. He chuckles, finding that cute.

Kinn gently hold him again, pushing him gently to sit down in a corner of his room. He then pick out some snacks from his mini fridge and sit besides him. They shared the food quietly.

"I feel like kids again" Kinn said suddenly. "We used to sit like this, eating the snacks hiding from Hia" Vegas chuckles fondly. "I miss those days sometimes" Kinn look at Vegas, his eyes softening at how calm and beautiful he looked right now.

Wait, hold up

Beautiful..!?

Forget it. He shook his head and continued to eat. Kinn chuckles seeing him eating so messy ly. He gently wiped his cheeks. Vegas look at him, noticing how close they were.

But unlike others... like his random hook ups or those old perverted men, Kinn's proximity doesn't seems like he will throw up soon. Its comforting, relaxing and too.... intimate. More personal. And the more he dwell on it, the more he becomes afraid.

And one thing is for sure. He is attracted to him.

Vegas stood up abruptly, dusting his clothes. "Huh thank you for the food" He said and quickly left the room. Kinn sighs, slapping his forehead harshly. "Shit, I made him uncomfortable. I should be more careful"

Kinn doesn't know where those hate goes. All he can feel for him and Macau is warmth and the need to protect. Or was it always like this but he had managed to hide it well.

Vegas' room

He grip his phone tight. "How is... How is Pa?"

"He is okay, I guess" The other side said not surely. "Maybe not. He brings girls almost everyday now. And they leave more bruise ly and limping. I honestly felt bad" Vegas sighs. "He is releasing his frustration on them"

"Hm. Its good you are not here?"

"Nop" He warnes. "Sorry Khun Vegas but its the truth" Vegas sighs. "Fine. Keep be updated."

"I will. But you need to let it go for once and enjoys with them. I know you feel safe with them no matter what you says"

Vegas felt vulnerable, almost exposed. "I am your boss, not the other way around" He said rudely. "Good bye" Noo ignored it and cuts the call. He knows its his defence mechanism.

Vegas scoffs, looking at his phone screen. "Huh!? The audacity." He lay down on the bed. "It seems like I am his employee and he is my boss. He always bosses me around just because he is the older one"

He pouts, nuzzling to the soft fur sheets.

Kinn's room

Kinn had successfully sent the invitation to his friends who are currently in abroad. He had gone for higher studies in abroad with Vegas when he was 14. So he have many friends there too.

They are very close to him and also his family so he had to invite them too.

One person who receives the invitation is excited to meet someone who will be present there. Or more like his best friend's cousin brother....

Vegas....
