KINNPORSCHE THE NOVEL
EP. 31: EDIT
------KINN-----
"Mr. Kinn, why don't you go and take a rest first? We'll just update you on the progress later."
Pol walked over to me with the third cup of coffee for the night. I was sitting stiffly, checking and rechecking everything carefully regardless of how much time had passed. Both checked the documents and looked through the surveillance cameras around the house for evidence that will catch the culprit as soon as possible so he couldn't escape.
"The closed-circuit camera was hacked two weeks ago. I am trying to recover deleted data but the person who did this must be knowledgeable and very good at it. It sucks because the files got deleted and almost nothing was left."
Arm stressed.
"Damn, I'm beat! . Just sort out the files. We only lost documents anyway. Somebody might have done an inside job on us Kinn And he must have been in our house for a long time. Otherwise, he won't be this intricate. As I see it, I think it's carefully planned."
Kim slammed the papers in front of him harshly.
Everyone gathered in my office and lined up to sort expenses documents.
Digging past transactions from ten years ago up to the latest, in case there will be clues and find the culprit from the remains of the additional documents. I believe that Porsche definitely has nothing to do with this. And I will make sure to prove that. I will find the crook and punish them.
It happens often in other companies and every time a person who was focused solely on being discreet gets caught easily, he must be a hired quack or something. I thought if one of our old-time employees who worked here for years knew about how our business works, one of them must be the mastermind.
And I have to admit that these missing documents affected us greatly.
The missing files contained information about our business on illegal goods such as weapons and border real estate, including the payment's invoices. If that information leaked, our clients would lose their trust in us for revealing their secret identity.
It's all about the black market. All information must be highly confidential including the names, land, title deed, and the amount they ordered. It deals with all the unlawful deeds so safety was compromised.
And if the competitors having those documents was bad, the fact that the police could get a hold of them would be the end for us.
That is why this is a very large issue for us. Even if we can buy the law often, this kind of large-scale illegalities cannot be covered up by the authorities on our side. Missing documents also means that we are vulnerable. We might lose our reputation and the confidence of our clients who are ready to turn their backs on us anytime we screw everything up. We will lose a lot of money and the possibility of going bankrupt is large.
"Kim, write everything down, what kind of information is lost and who will benefit from it."
I turned to my brother who was constantly tearing through the documents.
"Okay, I'll let Anon take notes."
I asked for my brother's help regarding this matter. So they were all sitting inside my office.
I couldn't use any of my own people that's why they have gone distant as well. My guards who were outside the door felt agitated because I didn't let any of them help which means I am suspicious of them.
Because most of the missing documents were under my jurisdiction, Kim's people didn't know anything about it. It's only the employees working for me that we have a problem with, so when I ordered them to stay out of file checking, all of them lowered their heads to accept it.
My order was absolute, to be fair with everyone.
I sat and sighed for the hundredth time.
No matter how cold the air conditioner was, my sweat ran continuously down my neck and back.
It's almost five o'clock now. After Porsche packs his stuff and announces that he wants to resign without listening to anyone, I immediately recruited people to come up to find evidence. Besides, it's a large-scale business, I don't want Porsche to be the suspect. Moreover, blame some innocent soul for it.
So I will prove to everyone that Porsche has nothing to do with everything.
I believe in his words, and after this day I decided to listen to him more. I hope that despite everything that has happened between us, including the emotional turmoil and the problem in the business won't affect our relationship. I will show him my sincerity and how serious I am with him.
Can you wait? Please listen and give me a chance to explain.
No matter what, I will never hurt him again. Because of what happened, I- myself got hurt. I am not bored of him, I miss him so much and I want to go and reconcile, I wanted to follow him but I just don't have enough time. Even if I went after him right now, it will be useless unless I have cleared his name up. I will wait until he is calmed down and let him see what I am doing for him. I'm just hoping that it's not too late.
"~~🎵 🎵 I'm not sure about the temple and didn't get the heart of Mrs. Wan Laeng Dang. Can't trap her heart, sit in the hung I feel sorry for the owner of the sister who never looked. Can't you hear it? 🎵🎵~~"
The screeching sound of my nutcase brother caught my attention from the chaotic thoughts.
I looked at the scene in disgust. The bastard lies face down on the floor with a pile of papers. Lukthung's music played in the background from his phone along with his terrible voice singing along the tune, alternating with the voices of Ai Arm, Ai Phon, and Ai Jet loudly following along like a fucking lunatic choir.
As for Pete, he helped with the documents at first but now he has stacked some documents into a pile then laid them down and use them to support his head. He was sleeping next to Khun. I used his people as well so I have to endure this madness.
"Mr. Vegas... Mr. Vegas has come out."
Pete murmured from time to time. I sympathized with him. During the day, he has to follow Vegas, and at night he has to help me with these documents. He would really fall asleep at this rate though I didn't want to tire him so much, I don't have much choice. Pete is one of my most trusted people.
My bastard brother Khun, heard his murmur. He turned to act as a parent to his child and patted Pete's butt as if lulling him to sleep soundly.
"Oh go to sleep shhh.."
Kim and I looked at each other and couldn't help but shake our heads. The atmosphere in the room was tense, but becauseTankhun is here, it kind of lessens the tension. The other guards swayed with the song like morons. They looked funny but Fuck! I need to do this seriously. The business will go bankrupt and we will lose everything!
"Can you turn off the music? I am losing my mind!!"
Kim turned around with an annoyed expression on his face.
"Why! I am making you guys feel more relaxed that's why I turned on the music. What's wrong with you Kim?"
Khun stood up and scolded Kim.
"Well, your taste in music is atrocious and it's making my eardrum numb! Can you be quiet?"
"Take it easy. Everyone is having fun. Damn, tell me what song you want, I'll play it for you."
He looked around us and landed on Kim's men who looked at Kim and slowly shook their heads.
"I-I don't like any song."
Anon replied thoughtfully.
"What?! Alright, so from what province are you from? My playlist has every region."
Khun proudly showed his phone screen.
"Northern region."
"Good! Last week I went to Jaye Yok's pub. I got this song as well. I like it a lot. Phon, Arm prepare!!"
I and Kim looked at each other in confusion.
"Turn on the music for a moment, I have learned two new words from the northern region."
After that, booming music played throughout the room.
"Going up the mountain to pay respect to the Buddha, coming from the city I have known about two words. Jug Kim and TokTok. A jughead is a lizard and a TokTok is a gecko. Growing up to be an adult, knowing that a gecko and Lizard are two different things. Hey! That's right! Gecko is a Gecko... Lizard is a lizard! Hey! That's right!"
He started singing the lines.
Oh, fuck!
I put my hand over my temple. The bastard Pol and Arm got up and danced in the tempo together with the dancing Khun. Who would believe that the boss and subordinates in the mafia house could joke around like this?
"Enough! Anon, take the paddle for me."
Kim pulled the phone from Khun's hand and immediately turned off the music.
"Why did you request the paddle?"
He asked.
"I'll beat your head!"
"That's so mean. Will Mr. Kim really beat Mr. Tankhun?"
Ai Arm said jokingly. It's not that he wasn't afraid to talk back to Kim, but the bond we created makes them realize when to joke around and when to get serious. He can get sassy like that and get away with it.
"Arm! You, traitor! My music is off because you let him take it!"
He turned around, cursed at Arm then took back his phone from Kim's hand.
"Your taste changed. Who taught you to listen to these songs?"
"Well, the person who opened my world to these kinds of music is Porsche. Huh, speaking of Porsche, I think.. Porsche..."
Khun squinted his eyes at me. Khun knows that I and Porsche are not on good terms right now but he never comforted me. Mostly scolded me for hurting Porsche and the likes.
"🎵🎵Oh! Speaking of Porsche.. ouch! It hurts! It hurts my whole heart.. Why do you still endure it? 🎵🎵"
He put his hand on his left chest and twisted as if in agony. I wanted to stand up and kick him right now. If he's not my brother, I'd rather shoot him in the face and blame it on him being annoying.
"You're hurting my ears. Aren't you sleepy? Got to sleep motherfucker!"
Kim said angrily.
"Just because you came home, you can order me around like this..."
Khun raised his brows at Kim, acting superior.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? I am so annoyed with you!"
Kim looked around and saw that the rest of the guards are staring at him suspiciously. He looked back at them fiercely as they turned their gaze down quickly.
What the heck? Whose side are you really on?
"Wait and see. I am going to tell Porsche that you've already claimed his brother. He will beat you to death. You won't die easily, will you Kim?"
"Stop talking! Damn it!"
Kim kicked the papers around. I could smell trouble coming along. Those who sat on the ground dodged the flying papers.
I turned around and looked at Kim in confusion. If what Khun's saying is true, then Porsche might be angry at me not just because I hurt him, but for one more thing! Damnit! Very nice job for me Kim! Damn brother!
"Guys that's enough. Let's be serious here."
I told both of them that Kim deliberately stopped killing Khun with his deadly gaze and turned to me instead.
"Whatever he was saying, you don't have to listen to him."
Kim said silently.
"Don't do anything that could put me to shame."
I pointed a pen at Kim's face. My relationship is still unclear. If there's another story about the cherished younger brother coming in, I'm definitely in more trouble than before.
Honestly, I am quite surprised at what happened earlier when the cold and uncaring Kim suddenly acted out of his way when Che was pushed by Big. He beat the shit out of the bastard and I sincerely didn't want to dig in further because I'm afraid Porsche will find out about it. I have a hunch at what was happening but this thing should be handled later.
Kim is a good person but he flirts to death! He's way more of a player than me. I'm really dead!
"Don't get stressed. Porsche isn't coming back to you anyway."
Khun said gleefully that I almost threw a stack of papers at him.
"Don't even try... I could get away in time."
He threatened, looking at my hand with a bunch of documents.
"Hit that bastard!"
He glared at Khun then turned to look at me.
"Are you sure Porsche didn't do it?"
"Yes, I am. Definitely."
I replied without hesitation.
"Who do you think it is?"
Kim asked nervously. I thought for a moment.
"You really don't know?"
Khun asked with his eyebrows raised. The whole room dropped to silence as everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at Khun.
"Do you think it is very difficult to guess? Looking from Mars, I could clearly see who it was."
He said sarcastically.
"Who is it?"
Kim asked.
"That bastard Big."
My brother said unblinkingly. The guards all looked at each other in disbelief.
"Anyone here can take it and say I suspect him but I can assure you, it's him."
He said confidently, unbothered by anything else. Not that I don't believe him. I am also suspecting Big but I need to find concrete evidence. To catch him and all his underlings, he must be caught red-handed.
The night he tried to harass me, Khun told me about it but I tried to ignore it. No matter how angry I was deep inside, I have to keep my cool. Because if ever I found my evidence at the end, I didn't want to give him a chance to run away.
"If you are thinking like that, we have the same thoughts. We have to find that evidence so that he couldn't escape."
Kim said then turned back to sit and continue working.
"Kim, can I borrow Anon to help me with something?"
"Okay."
Kim replied shortly.
"Non, starting tomorrow, go and tail Porsche for me."
"Why? I thought you didn't suspect Porsche?"
Kim asked.
"I do not. He must have gone home now, I just want to be sure that he is safe. Anon, please take a look."
Kim and Anon nodded in understanding.
"Yes, Mr. Kinn."
Time passed from late afternoon until dawn. Everyone in the room had gone to bed early in the morning, leaving me still focused on the letters in front of my eyes.
In my head, only Porsche's face flickered back and forth. Even though we saw each other yesterday, why do I miss him so much?
I laid back on the chair and closed my eyes to rest for a bit. I tried to relax and relieve the pent-up stress that's been holding me tight.
"Mr. Kinn.."
I don't know when I dozed off but I felt like I had fainted for quite some time. I have never had a goodnight's sleep since the last time Porsche and I slept together. I couldn't even remember myself falling asleep due to the things that have been bugging my mind.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that Big has walked inside the room and brought his face closer to mine.
"What?"
I said, startled. I hurriedly straightened myself and adjusted my sitting position.
Big pulled away and moved the tray of food into the table in front of me.
"Mr. Kinn hasn't eaten anything since this morning so I brought some porridge and juice."
Big placed a spoon in the bowl of porridge then poured the juice in the glass.
"No, I'm not hungry."
I said quickly and turned my head to look at the computer screen. I minimized all the document windows I was reviewing to hide it just in case Big took a peek.
"But Mr. Kinn can't just drink coffee alone."
"You can leave."
I said coldly. My voice is dark from the feeling of paranoia at his behavior. Why the fuck is he acting like my nanny?
"Eat some of this please."
Big pleaded. He scooped a spoonful of the porridge and attempted to feed me.
I looked at him in disbelief. What is he thinking? Didn't he feel that I am uncomfortable around him? Yes, I kept silent about the incident that happened between us but I didn't treat him the same way like before which was pretty obvious. I have kept my distance and avoided instances where he has to enter my room.
Honestly, when I opened my eyes and saw his face, I almost punched him. I wanted to add bruises into his already swollen face created by Kim yesterday but I have to retrain myself. How dare he take advantage of me while I'm not myself and to top it all, he dared to point a gun at Porsche. He's lucky it wasn't me who beat him.....
Anyway, I have to find solid evidence that points at him as the main culprit. So I need to keep him close as much as possible to prevent more damage that he might do.
"Eat it please."
Big brought a spoonful of porridge close to my mouth with a hand carefully placed below it.
"Leave."
I said icily as I pushed his hand away.
Big suddenly grabbed my hand that squats his away.
"Mr. Kinn, please don't do this."
He put the spoon back into the bowl and held my wrists with both of his. I was stunned. I started to feel that this was getting too much.
"Mr. Kinn could doubt me, not trust me, not let me get close to you again or whatever."
He said in a trembling voice and tried to look me straight in the eyes as if conveying that whatever he was saying was the truth.
"But Mr. Kinn, have something to eat please? I am worried about your health. I don't want to see you like this."
He pulled my hand and placed it on his cheek. I didn't know why I felt sudden goosebumps all over my body. I couldn't bear to have him behave like this anymore.
Knock knock...
"Mr. Kinn."
"Get out of here Big!"
I yelled before the door was opened.
"Kinn, are you busy?"
I inhaled a deep breath before closing my eyes when I realized who walked in. Big immediately pulled back away from me before raising a hand to greet the newcomer.
"Get out of here first."
I said tiredly. Tawan stared at me and Big alternately with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Mr Kinn."
Big replied before walking awkwardly out of the room.
"Tawan brought snacks. Am I disturbing Kinn?"
Tawan carried a bag of snacks and placed it on my desk.
Damn! What day is today? Why do people want to feed me suddenly?
If it was Porsche who disturbed me like this, I wouldn't mind at all. But the people coming in were the ones causing me problems. I'm going crazy!
"Phi Tawan hasn't returned to England yet?"
I said gathering all the documents on the table and stuffing them inside the drawer.
"You said it as if you're chasing me away."
He pouted and looked at me puzzled. I used to think that he's cute when he pouts like this, but it's very annoying to me right now.
If it's Porsche, I wouldn't mind him frowning. If I said something that doesn't make sense, he would almost scratch my face with his claws, and it's perfectly fine with me. It's really different. And now that I think about Porsche, a sentence flashed in my head.
"Did you go and meet Porsche?"
I said, staring at his face fiercely.
He immediately froze which confirms my statement.
"Why are you messing with him?"
I asked harshly. The more he averted his gaze away from me, the more I found him suspicious.
"Porsche came to report?"
Tawan asked softly.
"That's not the issue. I want to know why you would mess with him?"
"It's just a coincidence."
Tawan said softly but his actions irritated me. It's a lie that seemed very easy to see. Is it a coincidence that a person like Tawan could meet Porsche like this? I have no idea what threats he was talking about that have Porsche enraged like that.
And I dare say now that I don't have the same feelings for Tawan anymore as before. The more I see him, the more I don't want him to be around!
"I don't know what you said to Porsche but I warn you, do not interfere with him again."
I said darkly as I glared at him.
He bit his lips tightly, His gaze looked dissatisfied and after that, his expression started to change. His eyes were blazing with anger and his face began to show wayward expression. I knew it, seeing his reaction.
"Why? Tawan can't touch Porsche? Why are you protecting him?"
His voice came out as a spat. Very different from the sweet voice he used to talk to me with. I started to think how did I endure being with him before?
"I want to tell you that our story is over. You shouldn't meddle with matters you are not concerned about and make things more complicated."
"So what? I can't believe Kinn has forgotten about Tawan already. Tawan has returned, why does Kinn to pay attention to other people?"
As I looked at Tawan, he started to get crazy in my eyes. He said the words as if he owns me as if he could do whatever he pleases regardless of other people's feelings.
"Everything that has happened was because of your doing. How dare you demand?"
I said in gritted teeth. I didn't yell. I didn't plan to yell at all but the words came out like a slash from a sword that the person in front of me stepped backward.
"Kinn is still angry with Tawan? Tawan apologized already. Tawan only wishes for Kinn to come back. If Kinn asks why Tawan does it, it's because I want Kinn to come back to Tawan."
His voice began to tremble, his face swelled as if he was about to cry.
"We cannot go back like before. You have to accept the truth."
Before I could utter any more words, the phone rang.
Ring..ring...
I looked at the screen and my heart beat wildly as I saw the name registered on the screen.
"Hello."
I stood up from the chair and pressed an impromptu answer regardless of who I am in the room with me.
[Why did you order this idiot to follow me around?]
Porsche's voice almost broke my eardrums from the other end of the line. He sounds furious but strangely, I twitched and smiled at that.
"Porsche.."
[I am wondering why you ordered Anon to follow me, Kinn? I am not your prisoner! Are you crazy? You take your time to do unnecessary things, Damn!]
My heart beats rhythmically in a frenzy. Just the sound of his voice made me throb with want. My brain imagined how he must have looked. His face must be fuming red right now and I continued to chuckle.
"No, I am just worried. I want to make sure you're safe.
[Fuck! If you don't stop messing with my life, I am going to kill you for sure! And don't ever try to get this idiot to bring your expensive food and hang it outside my house again!]
I let out a peal of sly laughter, forgetting how I was irritated a few minutes ago. Forgotten that someone's eyes were glued dangerously on me.
I didn't expect Porsche to get angry at that. I ordered Anon to drop by my favorite restaurant and buy food then hang it outside his door. I have taken Khun's suggestion that to get Porsche back, I need to please him.
"Eh, just eat the food. I bet you are making a grumpy face right now. Don't kick things in your area."
I teased because I know that when Porsche is angry, He tends to kick things around, my couch is the perfect victim of that.
[You are crazy Kinn! It's not funny. If you still send people to follow me I will...]
"Kinn, who are you talking to?"
The smile on my face suddenly dropped and looked at Tawan who was fuming.
"Tawan asks who Kinn was talking to."
I was shocked by the next thing that he did. He snatched the phone from my hand.
"What are you doing?!"
I yelled loudly.
[Ah! Just focus on your guest over there! Fuck you, Kinn!]
And the line goes off immediately.
"Porsche... Porsche... Phi Tawan, why are you doing this to me?!"
I turned to look at the person in front of me with fury. I hit the redial button but as expected, the phone is turned off. Fuck!
Bang!
I threw the phone on my desk hard. I think it was too much of him to grab my phone like that.
"Get out of my room right now!!"
I yelled at him and he jumped in shock.
"Why is Kinn so angry?"
Why am I angry? Are you stupidly asking why I am angry??!
His eyes still looked stubborn and his voice was not afraid of me at all. He didn't have the right to express ownership over me!
I took a deep breath to calm my emotions. I gripped his arm until my fingers dig into his skin and leave bruises.
"Phi Tawan, you listen to me and listen well. Our story is over. I don't love you anymore. I love Porsche. Do you hear that?"
No matter how hard I suppress my feelings, I couldn't hold back my anger anymore. I banged the table loudly. Because in the end, I am guilty of misleading Porsche. But everything might be easier if Tawan hadn't interfered.
"Kinn."
His eyes flickered and his voice croaked. If this was before, I couldn't bear to see him like this but now it irritates me and I want him to get out of my face immediately.
"Get lost!'
I said without any hint of kindness."
"Kinn is angry at Tawan again isn't he?"
Tawan walked over to hold onto my arm which I swatted away instantly.
"Tawan! Stop it!"
I grabbed his arm again and violently dragged him towards the door. I didn't know how much force that I used. But it seemed that the thin figure barely floated in my hand until he balanced himself.
"Kinn, Tawan is hurt."
I don't fucking care!
I opened the door immediately and threw him outside the door.
"Don't mess with me or Porsche again. If you don't stop, I can't promise you won't get hurt."
"Kinn, what is going on?"
Kim and Khun walked up the stairs to my room.
"Tawan what are you doing here? And what did you do to Kinn?!"
Khun turned to look at Tawan with seething eyes.
"Kinn, Tawan is sorry."
His voice trembled and tears began to flow. I glared at him seriously and put my hand over my head to get a hold of myself.
"Get out of here."
I repeated.
"My younger brother already kicked you out of his life, why are you returning now? And how did you enter our house? All of you! get rid of him now! If he ever stepped in my house again, all of you will get the best of me!"
Khun yelled angrily.
"Hey, calm down."
Kim quickly held Khun down.
I felt exhausted with all the drama and problems that have been going around so I didn't listen anymore to their argument. I closed the door immediately and sat down on the couch.
I closed my eyes and laid down tiredly. I heard Khun yelling from outside the room until it all fell silent. Soon, the door of my room opened and they came in.
"He's gone!"
Khun stomped inside the room.
"You overkill the bastard."
Kim came and sat next to me.
"There are a lot of people like him. He just saw you and suddenly his eyes are squeezing with tears. He's such a good actor! I want to beat him right now!"
Khun motioned to walk outside the room and come after Tawan but Kim quickly pulled his arm.
"Hahaha, really brother. If you're so angry, go eat something cold to calm you down."
Kim shook his head in exasperation.
"What's wrong with you Kinn? What happened?"
Khun turned to a halt as he was about to kick Kim in the face.
"I let Anon tail Porsche, then as Porsche was talking to me on the phone, Tawan snatched the phone away."
I said clenching my temples.
"Can you move on from Tawan now?"
Asked Kim
"Yes!"
I replied without hesitation.
"I'm surprised, Porsche isn't your type at all. Look at all the guys you've dated before. They were all a softie, but with Porsche, you will have to use your arms and legs to get your way with him."
Kim said laughing.
"Well, I can't believe I'm going to like him."
As Kim said, everyone, I had in my life was gentle. I stick to soft ways, sweet and cute. But Porsche, manly face, tight muscles, a cool tattoo, and a wild personality. But strangely, when he's with me, I think he's cute. Will I be able to reconcile with him?
"Looking at your wife, he's brutal. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to a pulp? I think one day, he will be going to drain your blood from your head and wash your feet with it."
Kim said as if he was having goosebumps.
"Che' isn't much different from Porsche. Aren't you afraid as well?"
Khun narrowed his eyes at Kim.
"He's not like his brother! He's cuter."
Kim said suddenly before he realized that he slipped. Turned around and looked at me, biting his lip. But I am too lazy to care about such trivial matters. Just the same issue that I cannot find a solution to.
"You think I should go and get him myself?"
I pondered whether I should go and get Porsche or not. I wanted to explain and make him understand what really happened.
"Oh, better not. Recently, I called Anon. He was being beaten by Porsche until now so I don't know if you're going to be safe as well."
Kim said in concern.
"Huh?"
"Don't go and talk to him now. I think you should wait for him to calm down a bit."
Khun said.
"Oh, okay then."
I nodded in response. If I go to Porsche now, we wouldn't be able to talk with each other anyway. In the end, he will just slip through my fingers.
It's his habit to run away so that I couldn't find him.
"Take a rest, for now, Kinn, we will take care of the documents for you."
Kim said.
"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway."
I moved the pile of paperwork and sat on the sofa. As for the bastards, Kim moved around the room with his subordinates who gradually occupied the corners of the room and looked intently at the documents.
As the evening arrived, my body began to protest in addition to the comfort of the couch. I stretched my legs and lay down in hopes of resting my eyes for ten minutes or twenty minutes to relieve my strained eyes and aching back. Just give me some time to clear my mind for a moment, that's all.
Ring... Ring...
The ringing from my phone made me jump in shock because I was in a deep sleep and I was afraid I passed the intended time of rest.
Fuck! It's nine in the morning?
I glanced at the clock on the wall before shaking my head violently. I slept through the next day and my body was completely covered in blankets and more. The members who came to help me yesterday are all still here but they were all sleeping in their position around the room including Kim who slept on the carpet but had a blanket on him as well.
I hurriedly reached to pick up my phone that was constantly ringing. Everyone started to wake up one by one. I scratch the sleep off my eyes and stared at the screen for a good minute before jumping on my feet in shock.
"Porsche!"
I hurriedly picked up the call and called his name.
[Kinn! Where is Tawan's house?]
Porsche's voice was breathy and obviously in a panic that I almost didn't hear the words.
"Wait for a minute Porsche, what happened?"
[I ask you where is Tawan's house?]
The other end yelled without answering my questions.
"Porsche, calm down. What's going on?"
I tried to calm him as I started to have a very bad feeling about this.
[My brother is gone! Because of your ex! You bastard! I told you to stop messing with my life! Why drag my brother into this?]
"What?! Che is missing? How did that happen?"
As soon as I said the words, Kim who was lying on the floor suddenly stood up and immediately turned to look at me.
"What's going on Kinn?!"
Kim asked anxiously.
[Just tell me where that bastard's house is dammit! If he does anything to my brother, I swear I'm going to kill him!]
"Where are you, Porsche? I'll go look for you right now."
I said. I want to see him terribly and make sure he is safe as well. I am worried about his brother but I am more worried he might get hurt if he does anything without me by his side.
"Kinn, what happened?!"
Kim, who was standing anxiously in front of me, held my shoulder.
[Wherever he is, I will find him even if you don't tell me.]
"Tawan?"
I tried to connect the events in my mind as I was pondering if Tawan has something to do with it.
[Yes! Who else will?]
"Why?"
Before I could finish my sentence, he suddenly blurted out.
[Oh! I forgot I shouldn't have asked you. He's your ex-wife that you have to protect!]
"Let's go find him together Porsche,"
[Oh. I can find him myself, idiot!! You don't have to tell me anything!]
"Porsche! Porsche!"
And the lines were cut off. I tried to call back many times, but the call cuts off every time before I notice the people around me.
"Who is missing, Kinn? Tell me."
Kim's face was grim and began to fidget.
"Oh yeah. Che' is missing."
"What? Where? When?"
Kim hold his temple and began to walk around the room.
"Last night, he didn't answer me at all. I thought he was asleep! Shit! I should have known something was wrong!"
Kim shook his head in annoyance. He was starting to look like a crazy person.
"I don't know. I still don't understand, dammit! Porsche said that Tawan was the one who took him."
I told Kim as much as I know. And I still didn't understand why Porsche was so confident that it's Tawan.
Not because I am protecting Tawan or what. The only reason Tawan would go down to that level was selfishness but if ever he did something, I think he would think about it carefully. He would make sure no one would catch him easily.
But since Porsche said some strange things to me, I told Tawan not to mess with his brother. Or, did Tawan do this to threaten Porsche? If that's the case, then he's(Tawan) so stupid.
"Damn it!"
Kim cursed angrily.
"Hurry up and get ready. I'll see you in ten minutes outside. I'll go find Porsche at home first."
I said ordering everyone that nods their head in agreement.
"You bastards wake up! Go to your room to sleep or die!"
Kim walked over and kicked the sleeping Khun a few times.
"Huh..documents..documents.."
As soon as he opened his eyes, Khun crawled over the documents in front of him.
"No. No, Porsche's brother is gone!"
"Where did he go?"
The half-asleep, half-awake asked curiously.
"I don't know. Let's help to find him!"
Kim shouted. Then immediately walked out of the room.
"Hey! Was he kidnapped?"
No one answered Khun and everyone went to do their own preparations quickly.
I washed my face and carelessly cleaned my body before quickly changing my clothes and getting ready to leave the house.
In the meantime, I haven't given up on trying to dial Porsche's number and do several call attempts. As I came down the stairs, someone at the entrance made my blood boil.
"Hello!"
Vegas greeted
"What are you doing here?"
I snapped at him.
"I brought the documents for signing. Can't I come?"
His brows raised and a smirk played at the corners of his lips.
It made me want to jump at him and beat his face but I am worried about Porsche that the matters at hand are not at the very least important.
Ring...
An incoming call from the bastard's cellphone. He reached for it and his face broke into a wide grin upon seeing the registered number.
"He probably couldn't answer because the line was busy."
Vegas held up his phone and showed me the screen where Porsche's name was on. I gripped my phone so tightly in my hand that I think it could crash anytime. I gritted my teeth in fury.
"Yes, Porsche."
Vegas answered the call in front of me and continued to look at me mockingly.
He's clearly making me mad.
No matter how good our relationship was before, I don't know if we could go back to the way we were. We both know that the line has been drawn.
"Wait for me there, I'll be on my way."
Vegas suddenly turned around and rushed to his car, ignoring us. I guess the same issue has been told to him and I can't believe Porsche would ask Vegas for help. Thinking about it, I felt terribly angered.
"Fucking hell!"
I kicked the large vase in the side of the stairs in irritation. Why does it have to be Vegas?!
Porsche will be Porsche but this situation can't be helped. I have no choice but to follow Vegas.
Why would you trust Vegas?
You speak ill of me not listening to you, but you never listened to me as well!
The first person you should seek for help in times like these is me!
Why does it have to be Vegas?!
