Pete's POV:
"KHUN!"
Everyone shouted in chorus as Khun fainted in front of our eyes.
Porsche was slightly felt guilty and held back while looking at everyone. But he seems to be relaxed when no one blamed him for running after Khun like a hungry panther.
I was sitting on the floor while holding his head a little bit up to support him. But he didn't respond. I should have known better when he told me that he felt dizzy. He didn't even eat or drink anything all day.
I looked up as everyone gathered around us making a circle above us and staring at the figure on the ground in awe. They seemed to making sure if he's really unconscious or is it some kind of his stupid act.
"Back away... Give some space.. he needs oxygen." As I said everyone took just one step back, idiots. That doesn't even make any difference.
Ignoring them all I looked for Arm who was already calling someone.
"Hello Pol? Make a U-turn. We have a situation. Bring the doctor back. Hurry up!!!"
After hanging up Arm looked at me and nodded.
I rubbed Khun's good hand while waiting for the doctor to come back. I was quite worried while looking at his face. He looked tired I can't believe he didn't even survive his first day of college.
I heard everything from Pol about Khun's classes. I was not surprised when he told me that Khun only watch series the whole time in college.
Or should I say that I was surprised when he told me that Khun actually goes to ONE class. As I was busy staring at his face. He looked so calm...
Suddenly a foot came into my vision. I looked up and Khun Kim was trying to make Khun smell his foot. What the hell!
"Kim what are you doing!? Your foot is not smelly enough to wake him up." Porchay said while grabbing Kim's arm.
"In that case.. let me try." Porsche declared and started to remove his shoe without any delay.
"Hey Porsche, didn't I tell you enough about being a gentleman!" Khun Kinn growled under his breath, looking quite done with Porsche's lunacy.
"Yeah but you didn't mention anything about Khun being dead or my smelly feet!" Porsche started hopping towards Khun and me.
My mouth fell open but thanks to Khun Kinn's strong arms that he held Porsche back and make him sit on a chair forcefully.
"Let me try.." Vegas said while turning his neck left and right. I can hear the cracker sounds coming from his bones.
"No!"
"Vegas don't!"
"Stay away from Khun!"
"We don't want him dead... not at the moment at least. Hahaha"
Everyone cried out loud together, making Vegas rolled his eyes. Last line came from Porsche who was laughing while shaking Khun Kinn's hand back and forth. Khun Kinn wanted to stop Vegas but Porsche held him back, intentionally.
Is it okay to hate your best friend sometimes!?
I unconsciously held Khun's hand tightly, while giving a challenging look to Vegas.
"Don't you even think about trying." I said in low but forceful voice.
Vegas watched me thoughtfully, then raised his hand in the air as if surrendering to me while backing off. He looked at everyone and just smirked. Happy with himself, for sure.
When he sat back on a chair, everyone's shoulders dropped down comically. His mere presence make everyone tensed up.
After watching him settle down I let out a long breath that I didn't even realize I was holding.
"Arm where's Pol?" I asked.
"He's on his way. Let me call him again."
"Please do!"
"Any response from him?" Khun Kim asked me sounding bored.
He's your brother damnit.
"No Khun Kim." I said shortly.
"That's it. I can't watch him like this anymore." In the blink of an eye Porsche came at the speed of lightening.
SLAP!
"PORSCHE" Everyone exclaimed in horror.
Porsche looked closely at Khun's face. He looked quite disappointed when he didn't get any reaction from the later. Only a bright red mark appears on his soft skin.
"Yeah he's out." Porsche declared finally. "I thought he's putting up a show." He grinned at me.
I just looked at him in disbelief he came so fast that I couldn't even get the chance to react or shield Khun from him.
I think because he's my best friend that my reflexes is not that strong near him.
Khun Kinn rubbed his whole face in exasperation. I am sure he wanted to hit the backside of Porsche's head. He's showing great patience by controlling himself.
"What a smart move!" Khun Kim smiled while sarcastically clapping his hands at Porsche.
Porsche jumped up to kick him. He was still wearing only one shoe and kicked Kim with the naked foot, so the impact was not that great. That kick only cause him to laugh some more at Porsche.
While watching his brother's silliness Porchay giggled. In this hall only hos teenage brain found all this funny.
"At least someone else is trying..." A chilled sarcastic voice hit my eardrum.
I looked up at Vegas angrily, our eyes met. He tried to make an innocent face at me, but I know him better... Hell with his innocence! He's definitely trying to messing with me.
"What!!" Vegas hold his chin up "..I was talking to Porchay. Right Porchay?"
Vegas looked at his left side where little Porchay was still giggling. After hearing his own name from Vegas he seems to forgot how to breath. His face was showing the shades of pink, red.... Purple?
Watching his condition Kim had to limped towards him. He rubbed his own hand behind Porchay's back, that make him relaxed a bit.
Inhale~
Exhale~
Porchay tried to look back at Vegas but didn't dare to.. Kim make him sit on another chair. Frankly speaking he makes sure to sat him down quite far away from Vegas.
Vegas seems to enjoy all this. I had a sudden urge to hit the back of his head.
If only I could snatch his stupid smirk from him and tie it to a rock before throw it as far as I can... from above a high cliff into the river.
He caught me glaring at him and then he just ... smiled.
Sigh~~
He's not that bad after all.

Doctor came and left.
After doctor left. Arm, Pol and I heaved Khun to his bedroom. Khun was still unconscious.
The reason why he fainted was exhaustion and fatigue. I can't believe he overdid himself.
Now he was laying on his bed unconscious while a needle is attached to the back of his good hand, and a thin tube is going all the way up to an IV bottle.
We didn't realize that his condition was this serious. I'm not being sarcastic it's just true.
Khun is an energetic creature. Even the best guards can't compete against his activeness. He can run around all day screaming, shouting, throwing tantrum and kicks, or simply watching series or singing karaoke without getting tired. He doesn't even sweat at all in days.
"What exactly he did in college to end up like this?" Kim asked looking serious for once. Both Arm and Pol looked down.
I think I know the reason, Khun definitely ordered them pre hand to shut their mouths up.
After looking at their reactions khun Kim decided to let it go, he didn't ask any further questions after that.
"Arm come to my office later, I want to talk to you." Khun Kinn said while looking at the sleeping Khun.
"Yes Khun Kinn." Arm said shortly.
Both Arm and Pol left the room.
"I see... he's breathing fine. Let's go Kinn." Porsche looked at Khun from head to toe then decided to leave too. Before leaving he patted my shoulder a little. I just smile at him. I know he's worried about Khun too. But he never know how to show affection towards his family and friends.
Kim took Porchay's hand and left without saying anything. Not that it's matter anyways...
Now only me and Khun left in this huge room. I sat near his pillow on the bed. I don't want to imagine his reaction after waking up and see a freaking needle attached to his hand.
I took a deep breath - in and out.
There's still a faint red mark on his face, thanks to bloody Porsche.
If Khun became aware of the slap. He would not leave Porsche alone until he took his revenge. That would be a great headache for every one.
I didn't realize that I was smiling till I heard a voice.. I stopped smiling at once.
"Pete..."
Even though I have heard him, I didn't look at his face. I have to be strong.
"If you're here to take me.... I'm not leaving.."
Vegas stood on the doorstep but didn't said anything. Then he walked towards me. I held my breath a little. Please don't force me... Please don't force me...
He placed his hand on my shoulder.
"How's he doing?"
"Huh??" I looked at him surprised.
"Is he doing fine?"
Woah well that was unexpected. Vegas was asking for Khun's well being! I had a sudden urge to place my hand on his forehead to check if he has a fever or not.
"Don't look at me like that. I know you want to stay with him." He tried to smile.
"Only because he's...."
"I know.. Pete" He didn't let me finish. Well if he knows then I don't have to explain myself..
He took his hand away from my shoulder leaving his heat behind. He then left the room, leaving ne with Khun.

Vegas's POV:
I came outside the mansion just to take some air. I am trying...
I took a deep breath filling the fresh air in my lungs.
I'm trying to fit in.. for Pete. I know how important the crazy brother is in Pete's life. He's close to the people in Main family. Even his friends works here.
Damnit!
I kicked a pebble for no reason. I rubbed my temple for a few seconds just to calm myself down. Then I finger combed my hair. Now I felt better. I was wandering in the garden area when I saw a tall figure.
"Hey Pol!" I walked towards him.
Maybe I startled him because he shouted in a manly voice while rubbing his chest where his heart supposed to be.
Seriously!? I didn't even did anything this time.
"Am I disturbing you?" I tried to be polite for once.
"Nnnn...no kh... Khun Vegas.." He was stuttering in his deep voice.
If he continued to talk like this... Well it's definitely gonna take longer.
Patience Vegas patience..
He is Pete's friend you can't flip on him.
"Well I wanted to talk to you."
"Mmmm.... me!?" His eyes widen in shock as if I was holding a gun on his head.
"About this morning.. did you talk to Arm about the... Girl?" I tried not to narrow my eyes. Pete said when I did that people get nervous.
"Nnn... not yet." He awkwardly look at me as if contemplating if he makes the mistake or not.
"Okay.... Did you see her again? After Pete and I left.."
"Nnn... no kh.. Khun vegas."
"Has my cousin mentioned about her... to any one of you?"
"Nnn... not at all. I even waited for him to ask Arm about spying on her. But strangely he didn't even mentioned her."
So he can speak normal... Maybe he just get nervous around me.
"Really??" I was a little amused to know that.
Has my crazy cousin trying to hide her? From his bodyguards.... and family? Should I talk to Pete about that...!
"Wh... What do you want me to do now?" He asked.
I was slightly surprised to hear that.
"Are you going to do as I asked?" I can't help but ask.
He was silent for a good minute. Maybe trying to... decide!
"Yes Khun Vegas!" He said in resolution without any stutter.
A guy who thinks before speaking... I like him. A smile appear on my face.
"Did I said something wrong?" Pol asked nervously.
"Not that I noticed.." I tilted my face a little. "...but I would like to know why.."
"...pardon?"
"Why would you take MY orders?"
"With all respect.. but I'm not taking orders from you." I raised an eyebrow ".. it's just that... Pete is like my brother. And you both are together now.. so in a way you are part of my family too.. I respect you but I care more about Pete. You can ask for my assistance anytime.. well not just me Arm's too. He has same thoughts as me... Right Arm?"
I heard light foot steps behind me. Arm? When did he came? I didn't notice him coming at all. Impressive!
"What were you doing there?" I inquired out of habit.
"... giving you both some space.." Arm always use listed and selective words. I like that about him...
Pete told me once that he talks more in their chat group. His sentences are longer when he texts. Weird guy!
"I'm glad to know what you think of me Pol." Should I confess or not!?
"Truth is that Pete talks about you guys all the time... a lot actually. To the extent that gives me a headache..." Pol smiled and Arm set his spectacles a little.
"...and from what I've heard from him, you both are really good and skilled.... What I observed personally was that you are both nice to him. Even now... when he becomes the part of the Minor family. And that makes me happy."
I gave them both a moment to register what I just confessed.
"Thank you boys." I smiled at them, trying my best to be friendly. And they just stared at me to the point... that almost makes me self-conscious. They're as weird as Pete. No wonder they are friends. Haha.
"Okay now let's talk business." I brought them out of their trances. They both composed themselves at once.
"Arm you can ask Pol for the details later. Let's cut to the point.... We saw your boss Khun with a girl.." Arm's eyes widen for just a fraction of second. Pol just nodded confirming what I just said.
"And my first brother seems to be interested in her. Arm I want you to check her background." He nodded after getting my point.
"Do we need to follow her around after college?" Pol asked.
"Not necessarily.. But Arm I'll let you know the name and her major later. Pol has already seen her today so he can provide you some pictures of her. After that you can do your thing. Hack in college system and get her information."
Arm just nodded without questioning anything. This guy's like a robot. A nerd robot.
"One more thing... don't tell anyone about this..."
"What about Pete?" Pol asked lowering his voice.
"As if you wouldn't tell him..." I said making him choked on air. I glanced at Arm. Did he just rolled his eyes?
"But seriously we wouldn't want to cause any problems for... her. We just wanted to know about her basic details. Check if she's from the family of our competitors or enemies. Check if someone asked her to approach Khun on purpose. I hope you get my point cause I don't want to imagine anything worse. But it's best to be careful."
"Who are WE?" Arm asked for the first time, making me stop a little.
Pol elbowed his side.
"Only Pete and I... and Pol. But now I'm including you too. Right Pol?" I smirked.
"Yes Khun Vegas." He nodded signalling Arm something.
"We need to find out about her before anyone else takes notice. Well Pete and I can do that alone... but you guys are also close to Khun and cares about him..."
"Wh...what if she's from enemy's side?" Pol asked dramatically.
"We'll informed the leader immediately and also let your boss know about her."
"What if she's clear?" Arm asked calmly.
"We'll leave her alone.... But if crazy cousin manage to bring her inside 'our world' ... then we'll protect her. After all the heart of the eldest son of Theerapanyakul is important and worth protecting. Right!?"
I smiled at the thought of my crazy cousin with someone.
