Peempad became aware of the pain in the head. The picture in his memory was projected clearly like someone had rewound a tape. It started when he was standing while watering the plants in the rose house and someone walked up to him from the back. Just a look at the uniform and the number of people who came together, you could immediately tell who it could be without speaking. When the clear figure pretended to escape, the first punch struck his face until he fell on his roses. After that, how many punches kept coming, he didn't know. But that was not as painful as seeing someone trampling down the rose that had been guarded by him for years.


The young man was conscious even when he was dragged into the car. He wondered how these people got in but it faded when he saw the car heading into the forest adjacent to the garden fence. They probably cut the wire to get the car in. He tried to remember the direction forcefully as much as possible. But then, the pain in the head had made his senses slip away. When he woke up again, he didn't know where he was.


The condition of the place where he was now was a room made of wood. There was no decoration except for one chair not far away. Even if his arms were bound by ropes and the pain spread throughout the body, the pair of beautiful eyes were still sweeping around consciously.


There is a window ... plus my legs are not tied. Can you call it being lucky?


"Wait outside."

"Yes, Lady."


The figure that had just held up to explore the room collapsed hurriedly and leaned against the wall after hearing the talk from outside. Peempad was quite sure that it was the voice of Mintra, the real mother of Phi' Jakk. It could be considered as a confirmation as well when she herself opened the door.


"Woke up?" The owner of the frail body smiled as she sat down on the chair, the only furniture in the room. A scornful look swept over her face seeing the boy's condition along with satisfaction projected clearly on her face.


"Yes, I'm awake now."


The beautiful face became distorted after she saw the calm, fearless expression of the person in front of her. But the stretched smile appeared again when she realized that she had control now.


"While waiting for my tyranny, do you want to ask anything?"


This person was playing the role of the villain in a drama ...


Peempad thought in his heart if it weren't for him, one would have laughed. But when opportunities like these are here, it would be fine to ask two questions.


"Do you think that making Gray destroy the evidence or making Phi' Jakk step back will keep you alive?"


"Not only that ..." Mintra laughed as if she received a nice question. "I'll take Jakkapad back as well, lock him up and put a chain on his neck. And see if that bastard still dares to mess with me this time."


The sharp eyes stared at the dignified figure seemingly killing her upon hearing those words. There is nothing wrong with thinking about it ... This woman has planned it all. And she really thought of taking his Phi' back. She might also hurt him more than before.


"Psycho..."


The laughter stopped when she heard the words from the hostage's mouth.


"What did you say?"


Peempad looked up. The pair of beautiful eyes twitched as they repeated their short words without courtesy.


"Said ... that ... sick ... mentally."


"Bastard!"


Mintra got up and quickly stepped towards the man who was leaning against the wall. She wasn't thinking of doing anything to this kid. But since he had a loose mouth, strangling the neck of this vengeful kid would not be that fatal. But at that very moment, a smile appeared on the thin lips of the injured person. The thin figure that was stepping towards him halted. Her instinct screamed as a warning to stay away. But in no time someone who had almost no strength rushed over and grabbed her neck with one hand.


"Just K ... Ka ... you"


"Did you forget that I am a man? It's the gender that's built to be stronger than you. Even if you don't want to hurt women, when people are desperate they can do everything. You should know that well, right?"
[*A lil triggered by this ಠ◡ಠ- Subhii]



Peempad exerted more force around her throat, seeing that the other party could speak. He pressed the lady to the ground. The freehand was used to cover the coughing mouth and then he let go of the other hand before actually killing the person.



"You... caught the wrong person already."



He's not the one to bend his hands and feet waiting for help. And most importantly ... he will not let Phi' Jakk be in any trouble.



"Now, what method do I use to get away?" He said as he looked around the room again. "If I had to guess, this would be a small wooden hut in the middle of the forest. So the sound of the animals outside was clear. Too bad not knowing considering how many people you are in."


Finally, his gaze ended on the open wooden window.


"Just like this ..."


Peempad supported Mintra to stand up. He met her bloodshot eyes motionless and made a final decision.


"I really want to kill you ..." for daring to hurt Phi' Jakk.



All her energy had been spent on lifting the woman and throwing her out of the window vigorously without saving her hand.



"Scream, press, press!"


"Lady!"


The screams from a faraway place lured the bodyguards quite a bit to run towards it. Peempad waited behind the door until one of the guards opened the door. Then he threw his elbows vigorously against the man's face until the other party fell. And it must be fortunate that only one person entered. The transparent figure could eventually run outside.



Peempad didn't know how long he had been there. But the sky was completely dark at that time letting him know that he had been there for quite a while. I do not know what will happen this day.



"Go that way!" A French shout from behind made the fleeing person a little startled. Fortunately, Peempad had noticed since he was arrested that these people had no guns. Maybe because they didn't dare to carry them across the country or maybe Mintra didn't think they had to use it. But it's a good thing.



Even though his whole body is hurt, his feet are still completely bare. But aside from hugging himself and running towards Peempad, he couldn't see any other way. One of the slender hands held a knife in the branch that helped him cut the rope until it was tightly released. The pair of beautiful eyes get tired now and then look for a place of refuge when they think they can't go on any longer. Until finally, the transparent body collapsed and sat behind a rock next to a big tree.



The phone was seized already. What should I do? …



Peempad could easily guess what the purpose of his capture this time around was. It may have to let Gray destroy all of the evidence at its core. As for the matter which the person said that she would take Phi' Jakk back to make sure that Gray would not dare to do anything else again. He thought Mintra really thinks he's going to do it. But she still doesn't know Gray well enough. Phi' Jakk used to tell him the story of Gray. That man was too scary to be ordinary. Just catching Phi' Jakk isn't much. But if Pramuk was upset, by then she wouldn't have just been sent to prison.



"Come out well so you won't hurt yourself."



The man who was sitting and resting took a deep breath as he heard a shout in English not far away. He moved his body into a small gap. That looked dark, not a landmark. He waited for the big-bodied westerners’ group to walk away in another direction. They nodded their heads and returned to see in the same direction.



"Phi' Jakk ..." the pale lips mumbled in a low voice. Even though his body was completely exhausted, his heart told him to continue fighting and move forward. The image of the cold face of an important person flashed in his memory reviving the lost strength. Peempad pecked his nails into his forearm to regain consciousness. The pair of beautiful eyes swept all around once again. This time, he could see it a lot better because he became used to the darkness.



This dark forest was probably not far from Rangsimana Garden. Looking at the appearance, people of the locality like him would know that it was a forest unique to this area. The more it was combined with the time when he fell asleep and woke up, the more distinct it became. Mintra should have brought him to another forest. There was a well in the opposite direction of Rangsimant Garden, close to where he was now. It was a sign that there must be someone's house or farm nearby.


I have to find someone first …


Peempad ran in the direction he saw the well. A wide smile appeared on his face when he saw an extended hose in one direction. Without having to think too much, he immediately followed the path not forgetting to observe his surroundings.


"Ashawin Rai."


Just by seeing the barbed wire fence that was dyed white, he was immediately certain of the place he had come across. Unfortunately, there was a loud shout at the back. The young man did not delay, hurriedly lifted his leg, and stepped on the wire as carefully as possible. However, when he was able to climb over, his hands and feet were cut and wounded.



Peempad ran forward at the speed his body allowed expecting to meet at least one person on the farm. Only then will he be able to contact his own people.



“Who's that?” A voice shouted with a direct beam of light shining in his eyes. He raised both his arms covering his face as his heart pounded with anticipation.



"I…"



"Khun Peem! Is that Khun Peem or not?"



Peempad slowly lowered his arm as the light that shone on his face turned off. He blinked his eyes fast to adjust the eyesight. And when he saw who was standing in front the joy was almost immediately replaced.



"Uncle Som!"



Pramuk used to think that Jakkapad in his wrath was so terrifying that he could not dare to approach. But at this moment ... when he saw that his brother was in a silent mode, yet his eyesight could kill people; he considered it to be a hundred times more terrifying. Thinking so, he unconsciously moved his body towards Gray. He realized that he was trembling when the strong arms of the person beside him reached out to hug his waist.


"Gray ..." The young man turned to the owner of the name and nodded to say something to his brother. But Gray shook his head, bowed down, and then whispered in the small ear.


"King is not worth talking to at the moment."


Despite being a close friend, he had never seen Jakkapad like this as well. It's not at all difficult to guess. Imagining if the lamb had vanished with the enemy like Peempad he would not want to hear anything ... apart from wanting to kill the whole crowd.


"But it's strange, Gray ... if they captured Peem for needing something why haven't they been in touch yet?" Even a slow-headed man noticed this fact. There or the two young men will not know. So Gray sent people out several hours ago to look for.


"So how did that witch get the Jakkapad's flower?"


"Does that mean that Peem can escape?


"If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be like that."


Jakkapad did not care about what his younger brother was talking about with his close friend. His eyes were only on Gray's phone in the palm of his hand. Waiting for when we will contact you and to see what progress has been made.



"Jakk!" The angry voice from the person who had just arrived caught the attention of Jakkapad quite a bit. The gigantic owner pushed the wheelchair towards the homeowner who had just returned from the country after he called to tell the story before raising his hand to pay respect to the other person in an unfamiliar manner.



This was the first time he bowed to someone else in ten years ...



"I am sorry for causing harm to Peem."



Shocked Wiboon hurriedly accepted a wai and walked in to touch his broad shoulder lightly. It made the owner of the shoulder lift his head. The older man sighed as he gave many men a sigh of thought as always.



"It's not Jakk's fault. Don't blame yourself. "



"Even so, it is my fault for not being able to protect Peem anyway." But instead, he let someone take him away. It was because he didn't make the right choice in the first place.



“The real thing is Peem isn't a little boy or gentle like he's with Jakk.” The person who knew Peempad better than anyone smiled even though he was worried about his son. "Believe me. That Peem is going to be fine."



It's not like the heart of a father who had only one son was not worrying but he must try to be as mature and sane as possible. In addition to the police who helped to find him, Gray, who was a friend of Jakkapad helped as well. Peem must be fine ... Wiboon told himself so.



But what if Peem ...



The eyes were sharp, with a glint of pain. The heart was tightened until the pain was gone. At this time, Jakkapad had no strength to move. The only thing he wanted to know was that the little one was safe ... Just as long as his little one was safe.


Peem...


"Peem…"


Please …


Peem...


The big hand answered the phone so quickly that the ringing sound was barely heard. Then the low voice from the other end of the line finally spoke the sentence that he wanted to hear.



[All the villains have been captured. It was confirmed that the target escaped safely. We are in a rush to look for him krub~.]



The sharp eyes rolled down as a delighted smile appeared. A heart that was heavy as a hundred stones weighed down, much lighter as if someone had lifted it. But then, in the next moment, those eyes suddenly transformed into frigid and cold ones. Even when transmitting fierce instructions, there was no hesitation in his tone.



"Tie them tightly. Do not give rice or water. When I meet my Peem I'll go and manage myself."



[And the people who are women ...]



"There is no special privilege at all."



[Acknowledged.]



Jakkapad looked up at the people who were waiting for his words. The young man turned to face Peempad's father first and then spoke in a serious tone.



"All the villains have been captured. Peem seemed to be able to escape. We are in a rush to find him."



Wiboon let out a sigh of relief. The big hand patted on the shoulder of Jakkapad as a  consolation to both himself and the other person. While Pramuk cried out in a loud voice that came out of his face. And then he was hit by the person beside him with his hand covering his mouth silencing him according to the regulations.



"Jakk." Gray who was silent for a long time called his friend's name to turn his attention in a calm tone. The person who was smiling joyfully had to turn around to look back. "How will you deal  with these people?"



At the end of the sentence, the cheerful and happy face suddenly transformed into a ferocious and terrifying one. Sharp eyes with no more signs of sympathy or hesitation. Even when speaking the first sentence that came out honestly, it didn't seem like he was joking at all.



“Honestly, I really want to kill them.”



Fortunately, in this room, besides Gray, no one knew French. Otherwise, Jakkapad would have been looked at in fear. "Send all the evidence you have brought to the police first. Let me talk a little bit and then I'll send them myself back to prosecution."



"How much of a heavy charge will be taken?"


"As heavy as possible."


Gray chuckled with joy, and his phone, which had been seized to hear the news, was being thrown back when it was of no use. He shook his head at the impudence of his friend. Yes, he was completely unaware of what this phone was worth. But because he doesn't care what will be dead, good or bad how could he even dare to do it.



It seems that the good-natured spirit would have faded away when there was no sign of his boy standing next to him.



With nothing to continue the talk, the atmosphere had become calm and stressful again. Up to now, he can be sure that Peempad is safe. But for those who wanted to see their face and bring them back to their side, they still couldn't be relieved. For several minutes they kept quiet like that until Jakkapad's phone rang. All the eyes turned to look at him again.



Strange number ... plus also calling at this time.



No need to think much. The big hand hurriedly pressed to answer the phone. His heart was praying a hundred times around asking for it to be a call from a certain person.



[Phi' Jakk ...]



"Peem ..." he groaned as if the man was injured and asked his help, it made Pramuk jerk his head.



Jakkapad has shown no pain for anyone to see since Peempad's disappearance. Only fright was transmitted through his face. But he knew ... he knew how frightened and hurt his brother's heart was. He just didn't want anyone to see it.



Fortunately, Peem was okay …



"Peem ... where are you?"



[Peem is at Ashawin's farm] the person at the end of the line spoke in a bright tone. [Peem is fine. Not many injuries Phi' Jakk, don't worry about it.]


"Peem…"


[Tomorrow, the people at the farm will send Peem away. Phi' Jakk can go to bed first.]



"Peem, are you hurt?" The pair of sharp, red eyes asked in a gentle tone.



[No ... it doesn't hurt.]



It doesn't hurt, then why does he sound like that?



"Peem…"



[Phi' Jakk ...]



"Phi' will go find ..." he said in a trembling voice. He who had tried to imitate the brightness of the little boy before repeated his own words again, making Peempad confident. "Phi' will go find Peem now."


[...]


"…"


After a long time, the other person responded in a voice that almost broke the heart of the listener.


[Hurry up.]


Rai Achawin has been a business partner with Rangsimant Suan for a long time. Many times, Peempad had received wai from his father to deliver goods or to talk business instead, so he knew the workers and farm owners very well. The two farms, although they were far away from each other in different directions, had always relied on and helped each other. Therefore, it was not that surprising that the owner of the farm, Arisara loves and adores Peempad as if it were her son.



"Noo-Peem, let Aunt do the wound for you first."



Since escaping into the farm until receiving help the transparent figure still hadn't allowed anyone to get even a little closer to him. He also agreed to speak only after borrowing the phone and calling people at his home. Then he shook his head and didn't answer any questions until the workers gave up. It was Arisara's turn to come and talk to him in person now.



Just looking at the exterior of the boy she had adored as a child, Arisara knew that he was probably going through something bad. But it was strange that even if he refused to talk or let anyone be close, Peempad was sitting upright and didn't have the slightest fear. She could only see him showing a painful emotion while talking on the phone for a moment.



It seemed that this kid was waiting for someone ... someone to who he could show his weakness.



Even though she knew that she still didn't want to let him sit and wait despite the trauma all over her body like this. She had to take a risk.



"Would it be nice to let that person see you in this state full of wounds?"



It really works ... The eyes have started to hesitate.


"I…"


"Ma'am! Many people have arrived. You!" The worker's alarmed voice made the farm mistress turn around and look. But she hadn't yet walked outside that those people who had arrived had already come in first.



“Khun Wiboon,” she called in surprise because she didn't think her friend would bring so many people. There were also many foreigners in black clothes. It seems that her niece's injury was definitely not a small thing.



"Let's go talk that way, Khun Aris."



When the adults walked apart to talk to each other. Gray together with Pramuk and the other chieftains and bodyguards still didn't consider going inside. Peempad finally met the sharp eyes of the person who was pushing the wheelchair.



It was nearly eight hours since they have not met each other and so many things happened already…



Both were being patient while telling themselves that it's okay but when he saw this person's face, it seemed as though all his patience had faded. The pain that he had suppressed came back to his body trembling. His eyes were aching, bloodshot, watery, with clear water almost dripping out all the time. And finally, when Jakkapad stopped in front of him... when he moved to the same sofa and opened his arms, everything collapsed.



"Phi' ... Phi' Jakk ..."



Jakkapad embraced the transparent body in his arms. His body trembled with a faint cry. which made him sob in his heart quite a bit. The depressing image of Peempad when they first met each other remains clear, showing how patient the little boy had been.



But now that Phi' is here ... Peem doesn't have to be patient anymore.



"Phi' is here... good boy." The big hand lifted up and gently stroked his head. He wished to tighten his arms to console him but was afraid that he might hit the wounds scattered throughout his body. Just thinking of what Peem had to meet, the gentle eyes that looked at the people in his arms shone in a frighteningly fierce light.



If he was still the same person when he was in France ... it wouldn't end with just getting her to the police.



"Phi' ... Phi' Jakk," Peempad turned slightly, looking up Both bloodshot eyes fixed on the person holding himself as if to confirm that it was the real one.



"Those people ..."



"We arrested all of them already," he answered in a gentle voice while sliding his hand to gently spread the bruised cheek.



The more he saw the wounds, the more he burnt with resentment. Not sufficient... just handing them over to the police, it's not really adequate.



"What are you going to do with them?"



"Don't talk about it just yet. Let's treat the wound and rest first. Let's talk again tomorrow morning." Jakkapad pulled the smaller person to hug him again before signaling the person with the wound dressing kit to enter.



Peempad agreed to follow that statement without asking anything else. Because he was sleepy and almost exhausted now. But when he saw a stranger with a first-aid box approaching, the transparent figure moved towards Jakkapad until he was close and clutched his shirt tightly.



"It's okay," the person beside him comforted and pushed the small head to tuck in the shoulder while turning his face outwards. "He is Gray's physician. Let him do the wound for Peem na~"



"Phi' Jakk, don't go anywhere ..."



"Phi' is not going anywhere. Sleep." He whispered in a low voice beside his white ear before nodding and signaling the doctor to come in and wound up.



Gray's close practitioner was professional. Even though he was terrified by the eyes of his master's friend he did not do anything wrong until the injured person panicked. After finishing the wound, the young man let out a sigh of relief and said his analysis report in a smooth voice.



"There's nothing dangerous. The external wounds are likely caused by being scraped by a branch. The part where the foot appears to have been wounded is due to stepping on a thorn and walking too much barefooted. Other than that, it was a trauma from being hurt. The heaviest one is probably on the abdomen. He seems to have been hit many times. When he wakes up, it may be painful. I will provide oral medication and ointment. It'll disappear soon."



"Hmm," Jakkapad gave a sign ordering him to go ahead. So the young doctor packed up all his belongings, retreated, and stood behind the master as before.



Finally, after the two farm owners split up, it was concluded that Arisara was willing to give all the people a one-night stay because her house had many rooms that were not already in use. And when the two of them came together in the room Jakkapad then showed weakness through his eyes as he looked at the person who slept beside him.



"No such thing will be happening again ... Phi' Suan." The wavy lips pressed lightly on a rounded forehead to emphasize how serious he is. From now on, his Peem must be safe and no one will ever hurt him again.



The feeling of his heart was lost when he realized that Peempad was in danger; constantly reminding him of how important the person in front of him was. But even more than that feeling, it was when he realized he was angry and almost died, he was still sane. He did not release the anger out the way he used to. It's all because of the tenderness he received unconsciously penetrating his heart. And it woke him up before he became cold-blooded again.



Mintra should be grateful for Peempad to change him in time ... before actually killing her.



"Phi' Jakk ..."



Jakkapad looked down at the person who was now looking at his face. The fingers of the hand that were held by the side of cheek flashed softly; as if it was to comfort him when he saw his pale face becoming twisted as though he was in pain.



"Say. What?" Asked a gentle voice.



"Today, Peem strangled Phi's mother's neck as well ..."


"Huh?"


"And Peem also caught Phi's mother and threw her out of the window. Peem forgot to think about what it would be like to have a two-story house or a basement," said the man giggling lightly. He didn't feel any guilt even though his eyes were close to the end "she said that she would take Phi' Jakk back, she will hurt Phi' Jakk again. Peem was angry, Peem hated her ... and Peem became greedy. Peem doesn't want Phi' Jakk to go anywhere. I don't want anyone to take Phi' Jakk from Peem."


"…"


"Peem is a bad boy. Will Phi' Jakk leave Peem?" Peempad raised his hand shaking on his own while pulling the collar of the other person, sent a sign through his glittering eyes, and cried pleadingly.



"..." Jakkapad looked at the scene with a speechless expression. He might have laughed not knowing if it was the right time or not. In the end, he only managed to hold his hand tightly, which was the answer that he would never leave. But as he was about to turn over to sleep by his side he saw the other person closing his eyes …



"Peem loves Phi' Jakk."



The sharp eyes widened as he heard the words from a cunning mouth. His heart wanted to shake the injured person and wake him up to speak clearly. But when he saw many wounds on his body, he couldn't do it.



Coming to confess and then falling asleep like this ... it's not fair.



"Stupid child" at the end the complaining words were extremely kind. The owner of the sharp face suddenly leaned towards the sleeping person before pressing a kiss on the lips somehow gently, as if making a vow.
[***ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ FINALLY!! - Subhii]



This is so important ... how could you abandon it?
