Vegas's P.O.V:
I was in the kitchen making some dinner when Pete walked in.
"Pass the salt" I said.
"The white thing right?" He asked.
"Yes" I said.
He handed it to me.
I started working on the food silently but then I heard a pained scream so I turned and saw that Pete hurt his hand with a knife.
"What the...How did you even do it?" I asked.
He was supposed to cut some vegetables but the cut was on the palm of his hand.
"I was holding the tomato in the palm of my hand when cutting it" He said and gave me a sheepish awkward smile.
I sighed heavily and nodded then took his hand and put it under the faucet and started washing the blood off.
"Come with me" I said then walked him out of the kitchen and to the cabinet where I left the first aid kit.
I opened it and bandaged his hand after putting the sterilizer on the cut.
It was actually bigger then I thought.
"Were you trying to cut your hand off? What the hell?" I asked frowning.
"No I wasn't" He said indignantly.
Then pursed his lips into a thin line and looked away.
"I was only trying to help" He squeaked out.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"There...All done...But you might have to sit back and let me do it instead" I said.
He sighed heavily and nodded.
I walked back to the kitchen and started working again.
Pete's P.O.V:
I walked back into the kitchen and sat down on a chair.
I remembered that day when I first walked into the palace study.
Young master Bible who was prince Mile's cousin and his most trusted doctor was reading a parchment out loud.
I who was supposed to go bring the royal seal that day was drawn in by the voice of him reading.
He stopped his reading and looked up at me.
He was three years younger then me but I knew that he was a diligent learner and because the prince praised him and the king who was prince Mile's father raised him so he had the right circumstances.
He was by far the most well known doctor in our kingdom even though he was only eighteen years old.
He was also good at court matters so he was given the position of advisory service for prince Mile.
That's why it was a shock to me when he suddenly got imprisoned for treason and executed on charges of killing Apo.
The day of the execution I was the one tasked with killing him.
"So you're the one tasked with killing me huh?" He asked smiling.
"Yes" I said with a straight face.
I was devastated and heartbroken to the point that I cried as I raised the sword on him.
"Bible Wichapas Romsaithong...You're sentenced to death by beheading by the order of prince Mile Phakphum Romsaithong of Siam...For the charges of treason and murdering Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat prince Mile's friend and companion...Do you have any last words?" I asked.
"I didn't do it...But...I suppose it's too late to say that now right?" He asked.
I pursed my lips into a thin line.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"Just tell that idiot cousin of mine that Apo protected him till the end" He said.
"What do you..." I started but he cut me off.
"Is it going to hurt?" He asked.
"I don't know" I said.
He sighed heavily and nodded.
"Thank you...For believing that I didn't do it" He said.
Then drank the cup in front of him in one gulp.
I frowned and lowered the sword still quite confused by what he just did.
He smiled and looked at the window in his room.
"Ahhh...It's sunrise now huh? Good" He said.
I opened my mouth to say something but he kept looking at the window as the sun started to rise.
It was his last wish so I let him watch the sun rising.
Some time passed and he closed his eyes then clutched his chest as he started coughing.
His coughing started getting louder and stronger and then he started spitting out blood on the floor.
I realised what was going on so I rushed to his side immediately and knelt down in front of him letting my tears fall.
He let out a strained laugh and smiled at me.
"You're...So...Naive...To think that...I'd let you...Kill me...Pete" He said through coughing.
He lowered his head and coughed more blood into his hand.
"It's cold...It's so cold" He stuttered weakly.
I dropped the sword to the ground and hugged him tightly as I started patting his back and crying my eyes out on his shoulder.
"It's cold...I...I can't...See anything..." He trailed off.
His breathing stopped and he went limp in my arms.
My sobbing subsided and I wiped away my tears and layed him down on the floor gently then closed his eyes for him.
Then knelt down and pressed my lips to his forehead.
I took the holy water and poured some on his face.
"In your next life...I hope you're fortunate...Please make up for what you lost in this life and be happy" I said.
Then pressed my lips to his.
I knew that this is wrong because he was a man and he's now dead but I felt that this is good enough of a goodbye.
"All done" His lookalike said cutting my thoughts short.
I smiled slightly as I wiped away my tears.
"Wait...Does it hurt so much to the point that you're crying? What the hell? I thought you were the prince's most skilled guard" Vegas said.
"I'm not the prince's most skilled guard I'm just a coward" I said.
Just a useless coward who couldn't even save an innocent person.
Vegas's P.O.V:
I frowned in confusion.
"Oh well...Drop the weird thoughts and let's just eat" I said.
Then took the plates and put them on the table along with utensils.
Macau walked into the kitchen and brought the pan over.
"Oh come on P...Today is instant noodles with chicken breast and vegetable broth...Again?" Macau whined.
"If you don't like it then order delivery with your own money what is this Martha Stewart's cooking class?" I retorted.
Macau sighed heavily and rolled his eyes.
"Just eat or should I eat it all by myself?" I asked.
"Fine fine" He said.
I started distributing the food.
Pete was eating quietly.
He was acting kind of strange being all quiet and sullen.
Hmmm...Well...I'll ask him about it later.
I was still trying to figure out how to make Porsche meet Kinn so that calls for more attention right now.
(The next day)
Kinn's P.O.V:
I went to that cafe again hoping to see that guy.
I had so many questions after all.
My phone started ringing and I saw that it was Pim.
I sighed heavily and facepalmed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Where are you? I'm at the company I didn't see you there" She said.
"Out of the company obviously" I snapped.
I had a lot of shit to deal with right now so I didn't need her meddling to add to said shit.
Then hung up.
I pushed the door open and walked in but sighed heavily and facepalmed when I didn't see the guy there.
What the fuck should I even expect? That was probably a one time thing.
It would also look quite suspicious if I walk over to a waiter and ask him if a tall tan skinned guy with brown hair came in.
So I left the cafe after ordering my coffee.
Porsche's P.O.V:
I went to the restroom of the cafe with Mile because he needed to throw up.
It turned out that he was allergic to cherry sauce but he didn't know that himself.
He ended up ordering the first red thing he found on the cake showcase obviously because...THE COLOUR WAS FUCKING PRETTY.
And ended up throwing up on the spot.
I sighed heavily and rolled my eyes as I quietly patted his back while he continued throwing up in the toilet seat of the cubicle we were currently occupying.
"Are you feeling better now?" I asked tiredly.
He nodded but then started throwing up again.
It was kind of cute though.
He looked at the colorful cakes as if they were the strangest thing he ever saw and kept asking me about them.
But the people around us thought that his behaviour was quite strange so I had to give occasional apologetic awkward smiles.
He finally stopped so we walked out of the restroom stall.
I made him sit back down on his chair.
"Wait here ok? I'm going to bring you some medicine" I said.
He nodded.
So I left.
When I came back he wasn't there though.
OH SHIT.
There's a crazy childlike three hundred years old fossil running around the city and I'm supposed to look for that fossil.
DAMN IT.
I started looking around the cafe for a bit but couldn't find him anywhere.
Maybe he was drawn by the trees at the park and went there?
Please be at the park...
It was almost a block over but I ran over to the park immediately.
Kinn's P.O.V:
I stood up from the bench I was currently occupying at the park as soon as I was done with drinking my coffee.
But someone suddenly grabbed my wrist and I turned to see that tan skinned guy I was looking for.
"I finally found you...You fucking shithead...Don't you dare run away on your own again got that?" He asked as he panted for breath.
I chuckled in disbelief at the rudeness.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
