Porsche's P.O.V:
I opened the door to Kinn's office and poked my head out.
"Are you busy?" I asked.
"Tonight? No why?" He asked.
"It's Chay's birthday today so I was thinking that you should be there maybe bring your brother too" I said.
"Ummm...Well...About that..." He started.
I walked into the room and closed the door behind me.
"What? Is something wrong?" I asked frowning.
"What? No of course not...It's just that I don't think that your brother and my brother are really that fond of each other" He said chuckling awkwardly.
"Pffftt...What nonsense...They obviously like each other" I said dismissing.
He facepalmed.
"Fine...I'll be there" He said.
"Good...Then I'll pick you up from your house by six" I said smiling.
Then pecked his lips and left the room.
I sat down on my desk once again and went back to work.
After a few minutes of working I looked up when someone suddenly stood in front of me.
I stood up and waiied politely when I noticed that it was mr Korn's secretary mr Chan.
"Mr Korn wants to see you in his office" Mr Chan said.
I nodded and followed him immediately.
Mr Chan knocked on the door then walked in so I followed him.
"Thank you Chan...You can leave us now" Mr Korn said.
Mr Chan nodded and left the room.
"Take a seat nong Porsche" Mr Korn said.
So I sat down immediately.
"Would you like to have a drink?" He asked as he poured himself some wine.
"Thank you for the offer but I must refuse...It's against the rules for employees to drink during working hours" I said.
The man smiled and put the bottle away.
"Well...I like that attitude...You seem like a straightforward person" He said.
Then sipped his drink.
"You're aware of the rumours surrounding you and my son right?" He asked.
I pursed my lips into a thin line and nodded.
"That's good...I won't have to explain things then...But the problem here isn't with nong Kinn it's with his ex boyfriend...You see...His ex boyfriend is the son of one of my business partners...Of course it took a great deal of work to terminate this partnership but the results are quite good" He said.
"Ummm...I'm sorry but I fail to see your point...How is that any of my business?" I asked.
The man chuckled and took another sip from his drink.
"I was thinking about promoting you from a simple secretary to a member of the board alongside my sons...But of course...You'll need to contribute to the company more...What do you say?" He asked.
I frowned in confusion.
"I'm sorry...But why would you do something like that for me?" I asked.
"You're my son's boyfriend and you changed his life for the better...I must admit that in the few months you two got to know each other my son started opening up to other...More interesting escapades...Especially the one concerning his cheating ex...I always wanted him to break it off but I didn't know how to meddle without being too imposing" He said.
"Oh...Ummm...Have you told him that yourself?" I asked.
I mean if the father also hated Tawan then why wouldn't he tell his son to break up with him directly?
"I'm sure that you already know but my sons hate me...So if I try giving them advice they'll probably brush it off" He said.
Huh?
"Ummm...I don't think so...I mean..." I started.
This is really one hell of a strange family...The sons are convinced that their father doesn't care about them when he actually cares and the father thinks that his sons hate him but they really don't?
What the hell? Why won't they just sit down and talk like normal people do?
I decided to just ask.
"Ummm...What makes you think that way mr Korn?" I asked.
He poured himself another drink but didn't drink from it.
"They're convinced that I killed their mother" He said.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked.
"Their mother had cancer...She wasn't going to live because the chemotherapy didn't work...She was in pain so I agreed to her request of putting her down with merciful killing" He said.
I bit my lip and looked at the floor not knowing what to say.
"I don't care how they see me though...I built this business from scratch all by myself and I'll leave it to them and them alone...I think that gives me merit at least they'll live comfortably" He said.
Then sipped his drink.
"I'll let you think about it...But you should give me an answer soon" He said.
I nodded.
"You may leave now" He said.
So I stood up and bowed politely before leaving the room.
When I walked out of the room though I saw Tem.
"What were you doing there?" He asked.
"Ummm...Mr Korn wanted to talk to me...Why?" I asked.
"What did you talk about?" He asked.
"Are you alright? You're not usually that curious" I said.
Then chuckled and patted his shoulder.
"Relax...He just asked me to be a partner in the company so I'll have a better reason to stand next to Kinn" I said.
He was going to say something but closed his mouth and looked at the wall.
"Hey...Are you really alright? You're acting as if you killed someone" I said.
"Yeah...I'm fine...It's nothing" He said.
Then patted my shoulder and walked into the room.
(Later that night)
Kinn's P.O.V:
I was on my way to Kim's room to ask him if he wanted to come to Porchay's birthday party when Tankul suddenly stood in front of me.
"SHIYA" I yelped in surprise before slapping his face out of instinct.
"What the hell? Why would you hit me?" Tankul whined.
"You're the one who startled me" I said irritated.
"Well...Whatever...I was thinking about going to that fortune teller once again are you free?" He asked.
"Is that why you called me last night and this morning?" I asked.
"Yes of course that's why...Why else would I call you? You're a boring old man" He said.
"Hey" I retorted.
He stuck his tongue out at me.
"Go ahead and sleep with your steaming hot not so boring boyfriend...While I go bother Vegas about his new interest...Oh and by the way Kim isn't in his room he went back to his old habit of leaving the house for a few days or something...No one can get a hold of him his phone is turned off and no one can get a hold of him even though it has been a week now" He said.
Then started walking away but turned to me suddenly and raised a finger to my face.
"We're going to that fortune teller again this weekend I'm curious about where me and Tem should go for vacation next month" He said.
I stared at his retreating back blankly as I found myself dumbfounded with his way of thinking again...
I mean...How the hell would the fortune teller be able to tell him where he should go for vacation?
I decided to just go on my way...The more I try to understand Tankul the more I think that I should have just robbed a bank and went to prison instead.
Yeah...Surviving jail time would have been a lot easier then understanding him for sure...
I opened the door to Kim's room and walked in but the lights were turned off and there was a strong scent of lavender incense in the room.
I turned the lights on.
"Oh for god's sake turn the lights off and get the hell out" Kim whined.
I looked around the room but Kim was nowhere in sight.
"Kim?" I asked.
"Here" He said.
Then put his hand out from under the bed.
"What the hell? What are you doing under the bed?" I asked.
He put his head out.
"Go away" He said.
Then stood up and my eyes widened at his get up and appearance in general.
He was wearing a white bathrobe that had stains on it along with bathroom slippers and his hair was a mess.
He had the sleeping blindfold on his forehead.
And he smelled like he hadn't showered in four or five days.
He walked over to the banana cluster on his desk and grabbed the brown one.
"Ummm...Why didn't you pick any of the yellow ones? They're tastier" I said.
"Because yellow is color that screams optimistic" He said.
Then ate the banana and dropped the peel on the floor and went back to sleep under the bed.
I looked under the bed and saw a horrible situation going on.
There was an almost empty pizza box and a few cans of beer and some potato chips with ketchup packs and even some chocolate bars and chocolate pop tarts.
But the most curious thing I found was...
"What the hell man? Why do you have dog food down there?" I asked horrified.
Then a samoyed puppy emerged from under the bed too.
"His name is Kon...I picked him the last time I came back home from work" He said.
I facepalmed.
"What is it that you want happy creature of light?" He asked.
"What the hell? I'm what now?" I asked frowning.
"Your ways of socialising with people are still beyond my feeble mind to understand hence why I'm the creature of dark" He said.
"Ok...So you're obviously drunk...But I want you to sober up and come with me to Porchay's birthday" I said.
"No...I don't like white places go away" He said.
Then pulled the blanket on the bed as if it was a curtain.
That's it you little...
I removed the blanket and grabbed his hand then pulled him out from under the bed.
"Fuck that's disgusting" I murmured.
Then pushed him over to his private bathroom.
"Go wash up and let's go" I said.
"No...I don't want to go I want to sleep my life away or immigrate to Alaska where I can sleep in the snow" He whined.
"If you sleep...In the snow...You'll die" I grunted as I put my effort into dragging him over to his private bathroom.
"That's the point creature of light" He said in dramatic drunkeness.
"My name is Kinn and I'm a human being on earth not a creature of light or whatever...Oh and guess what?...I'm your older brother so you should just keep your mouth shut and listen to me" I said.
Then finally managed to get him inside the room.
I took out my phone to check the time.
Ok it's two hours before Porsche comes so I'll definitely be able to buy a present and take Kim with me.
But when I looked at the bathtub I saw that Kim was playing in the water.
He looked up at me and blinked twice then burst out laughing before splashing my face with the water hose.
"BABOOSHKA" He said chuckling drunkly.
I took out my phone and sent Porsche a text to tell him that I'll be late for the party.
For god's sake can't I just have one normal day?
