Loved But Forgotten

Love, Loyalty, and Legacy

"I told you, you should've rested more." Vegas said as Pete sneezed for nth time today. His boyfriend couldn't sleep well last night as his crazy ass cousin was watching another series with his bodyguards and they called Pete to watch it separately while on a video call.

And Pete, who became hooked with the plot, binged everything all at once and whenever Vegas called him to bed, he would say 'just one more', until Vegas fell asleep by himself.

Pete only succumbed to sleepiness by two, and he even caught a cold now.

"You're no fun, Vegas. When your boyfriend sleeps late, you should sleep late too! Hah, for all I know, you didn't wanna watch with him because you rather do some yoga in bed. The poor bastard might have fallen asleep while waiting for you, Pete. Now, Vegas is mad because he wasn't able to get that a–mphh!"

It was the dingdong, Tankhun—and Pete shoving him a piece of bread to stop him from saying something embarrassing.

Here they are again, in the main family's manor. Today, Porsche, Kinn, and Vegas will be visiting some of their headquarters located in the same area where the shipments they discussed yesterday were made. There's one in Pattaya and another one in Ayutthaya, these two are just the closest but they will also make a schedule to check the ones in distant places like Chiang Mai and Chumphon - especially Ko Lea, the source point.

Before they can even investigate the exact locations where the deals were made, which are external factors from their system, they need to inspect their headquarters and facilities first and see if it was just an insider problem.

They're bringing a team of bodyguards and Pete wanted to come but Vegas kept saying no. He said it wasn't a dangerous mission since they don't plan on engaging anyway.

"I will let you come if we're to check your hometown, I promise." Vegas said and Pete rolled his eyes.

"Khun Vegas," One of the main family's bodyguards walked to them. "Khun Kinn said you must get going. The car is ready."

Vegas nodded then turned to Pete. "I have to go now."

"But I want to go with you–"

He smiled and ruffled his hair. "Baby, all the other cars are full too. Just wait for me here, okay?" Then he glanced at Tankhun. "P'Khun, I'll leave Pete in your care. Don't let him talk to himself too much."

Tankhun's lip contorted in an instant. "Pete is mine in the first place!"

Vegas just rolled his eyes before eyeing Pete back who seemed to get what he's thinking. "Don't worry, the mission is clear–we just need to observe the operation and do some interviews."

"Even so, what if some unexpected thing happens? I'll feel better when I'm with you."

"No, your headache will only worsen. I'll message you once I get the chance... Nop is with me as well, you don't have to worry."

"Yah! Vegas! Quick, there's no time." Porsche shouted from the outside.

Vegas grunted and quickly kissed Pete on the temple. "P'Khun, don't stress him out!" He warned his eldest cousin before following Porsche and Kinn outside, half walking half running.

"Aaaah! Ahhhh!"

Even when Tankhun is singing like a fool in front of him, Pete can't completely enjoy himself. He's an overthinker, it's always been a fact; and so, when Vegas only had a few texts in the span of an hour, he's already feeling anxious. Are they okay?

"Don't worry, Pete! I texted Pol and he said they're all okay. Kinn, Porsche, and Vegas have to talk and make instructions so they are currently busy. I'm sure it's all talk for now."
