Enigmatic Love

Chapter 7

"Did you get the list I asked you, P?" Bas who was in his study room, asking his personal bodyguard, Prem the task he gave earlier that day. He saw what that woman did to Copter, and he clearly saw what she did was all but intentional. He took the picture of the couple who came to the cafe for nothing, but just to torment Copter.

When he first met Copter, he was running away from home, just to have time for himself, to get some air, and relieving the suffocated feelings he had inside because of his unaffectionate father. It wasn't even his first time, but then that day he got unlucky, or maybe not, since because of them, he got to meet Copter.

He had friends, of course, he had, all from his circle. They were all corporate and business, and from upper-class social status's sons and daughters, though he couldn't say if they were really friends. Seeing Copter's laugh for the first time, he couldn't help but to want to see it again and again. The dimple of his was really tempting that he wished he could see it almost every second of the day. Weird feelings he ever had, and that even to a kind-hearted stranger who didn't even hesitate to give his number to him.

Coming back home, or more precisely, mansion, his father was in rage seeing all the wounds inflicted to his body and was instructed Prem and his guys to find all the guys who did this to him. He wasn't sure what they did to those guys, even though he told his father he was okay. Well, since when his father ever listen to him? Still, he was grounded for two weeks.

He didn't believe in a miracle, still, that's how he felt when he saw Copter walking around in the mall, when he was out shopping, surrounded by bodyguards, to celebrate his free day from being grounded. All those times, grounded in his home, he was hesitating, whether to text Copter or to call. What to message? Or what to tell if he was to call? Why would he call? In the end, he did none of it.

When he was in a clothing store, he changes his formal attire to a simple t-shirt and jeans, and a cap, and was able to leave the store without the bodyguards realized it. It wasn't fun shopping with bodyguards, really! So, he ran and grabs Copter away from the mall. He was lucky he had cash in his wallet that day, though he didn't have the opportunity to treat Copter to a meal that day, due to the miscommunication and misunderstanding. He gets to know that day, Copter hate rich people, and unfortunately, he was in that category, at least his family is.

He didn't intend to hide his identity at first, but then knowing that fact, he just...... couldn't. The thought of not meeting Copter again was hard, and the thought of Copter hating him was harder. He wanted to ask him the reason he hates rich people because, in all of his story regarding himself, there's no indication or reason for him to feel like that.

He couldn't help but to ask P'Prem to investigate or to check Copter's background, only then he knew Copter was a bullied victim in his school years. He never thought an orphan could enter that school, that shows how impressive Copter was.

Still, knowing how he got bullied just because he was an orphan and poor, maybe it was never a good idea to be in that school, and he knew Copter couldn't change school, nor fighting all those rich bastards, since he still needs to finish school. Having in trouble, meant he couldn't graduate, so he was just let himself be that victim. He had every reason to hate rich people after all. Bas was sigh to that.

And today, after struggling to finish his project and submit it to his lecturer, Bas wanted to meet Copter so badly that he even coming to his workplace, though he knew he was being rude. But he couldn't help it, he missed..... yeah, screwed it... he missed that guy so badly, and he wanted to see him and his smile.

Just seeing his face could make all his stress and tiredness go away. Just like it was brushed off by the wind, just like that. Copter had that effect on him. The first thought when he saw Copter fight and saving him was that this guy was so cool, then when he saw the cute yet at the same time so handsome face of his, he thought this guy was not just all look. But he was a goner when he saw this guy smile and laugh.

He wanted to deny that what he felt was just adoration, and appreciation of saving him, or maybe just a hero complex, but then even into his sleep, all he wanted to see was that dimpled smile and laugh. But then, when he saw what that woman did earlier that day, he saw red. He felt angry that he could hit that person, be it, man or woman because he wasn't a gentleman, to begin with.

Still, he thought this was Copter's workplace, so he endured it. He was just hoping that Copter at least does something to defend himself, yet, again, Copter didn't do anything and just let the woman did as she please. It occurs to him, was Copter always encountering this type of situation working in a cafe?

Sure, he could never choose his customer, the possibility was always there, but that woman was specifically asking for him! Copter could never choose a customer, but customers can always choose him. Bas sends the message to Prem right away, asking him to buy the cream for the burn wound, that's why he could come back fast to Copter, attending to his wounded finger.

"Young master...young master! Are you okay?" Prem's voice was taking him out of his reverie. Seeing Bas had look at him straight, Prem was handing him the list he was asking for him to check earlier that day. "This is the list. I also send their insta profile into your mail. You could see many videos of them doing things to him. These guys and girls were so disgraceful and shameful, proudly posting those videos, it was disgusting. "

Bas was taking the papers handed by Prem and was looking at it. "He was an outcast the moment he was enrolled at that school since the rumor about an orphan joining the school was long spread before he registered there. He was an outcast student for a year until this certain girl was approaching him. She was a transferred student that was just coming back from Europe, and that was the challenge she got when she first came. She makes Copter fall in love with her and rejected him in insta live with all the classmates and other students watching him, without him realized it. Only then his life turns from bad to worse."

Bas was taking a deep breath while closing his eyes, trying to calm his feelings. Those spoiled brat wasn't even from a rich family like him. They were just from a family that was had a little bit better income than those of the middle-class, but the way they acted like they ruled the world. "This is the girl you mention, right?" Prem was nodded when he points to one of the woman's faces in the paper in his hands, the one who played Copter.

"Okay, thank you, P." Prem was bowing to Bas before leaving the only son of one the heir of the biggest conglomerate in Thailand, though he wasn't really exposed to the media. Not many knew his face, and he likes it that way, and his father was making sure his son was protected. Being known to the world wasn't really safe.

Still, his place as an heir wasn't guaranteed, and all his father demand for him was that his achievement since he needs to fight for it. The competition between cousins was harsh, that was the reason his father was been strict with him. That's because all his cousins were competing for that position, except for one. The decision will be up to his grandfather.

He was taking note of all the faces on the paper giving by Prem just now, while thinking about what he can do, or maybe he could ask some outsider's help. It never hurt to ask a favor.

He took his phone, dialing a familiar but unusually dialed number. Once the call had been picked up, he greeted right away.

"Hello, P'Yihwa. Miss me?"
