Tae's P.O.V:

After the break up I continued my studies online then went abroad for a while.

So now I was back to Thailand after a five month absence.

And now that there's no Time in the picture I decided to just drop by Kinn's house for a greeting before going back home.

I parked the car in front of the house.

I called him earlier to tell him that I was coming but he probably forgot since the bodyguards weren't there to search me for weapons.

Oh well...I suppose that's a good thing.

But when I walked closer to the gate I heard strange voices in the garden.

A dog sound and children laughing.

I looked at the plaque to check if I was in the right house.

Then saw that it really did indicate the Theerapanyakul name.

I went over to check the voices and saw Porchay sitting on the ground watching while two children played with a puppy.

They looked no older then a year or so.

"Hey" I said smiling at Porchay.

"Oh...P'Tae it's nice to see that you're in good health come sit" He said.

"No need I'm not staying for long" I said.

"Oh come on P you just got here" Porchay said chuckling.

I raised an eyebrow when one of the children clung to my leg and looked up at me.

"Go away...Off off...I don't like children" I said but didn't really make any attempt to remove him.

"Oh...Venice likes to meet new people" Porchay said referring to the one who clung to my foot.

The other one was playing around with the puppy but suddenly tripped and fell.

"SHIYA" Me and Porchay said in equal panic.

The girl stood up immediately and continued running around ignoring her nose which was bleeding.

"What the..." I started but trailed off.

Porchay chuckled awkwardly then stood up and went to grab her.

Then started cleaning the blood on her nose.

"She has CIPA" Porchay explained.

Oh my god...

"Well...Who are they?" I asked.

Then bent down to pick the child who was clinging to me up.

"Oh...The one you're holding is Venice...And this is Neri...Venice is P'Vegas and P'Pete's kid and Neri is P'Porsche and P'Kinn's daughter" Porchay said explaining.

"Huh? Just how long have I been gone?" I asked shocked.

I'm gone for five months and everyone has a kid by the time I'm back?

What the fuck?

The kid I was holding giggled happily and put his hand on my nose.

I put him down and he started crawling over to the puppy.

I started walking over to the house again after saying bye to Porchay.

Kinn stood up and patted my shoulder then walked me into the living room.

"Dude...Where have you been all this time? Five months without even a single text?" Kinn asked as soon as we sat down on the sofa.

"Well...I was helping my father around with his work abroad here and there...I'm still under training so I didn't have much to do which gave me the liberty to wander around" I said shrugging.

"That's a good change I suppose...So how are you doing now? All better?" He asked.

I nodded.

"I suppose so...Yes" I said smiling.

Kinn nodded in approval.

"That's good to hear I got worried when you cut off on texting with me but I figured that you didn't want to be disturbed so I decided to leave you alone for a while" He said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for understanding then" I said.

Kinn raised a hand and a servant came over.

"Bring in some tea and cake" Kinn said.

The servant nodded and left.

"No need I was going to leave soon anyway" I said.

"Do you have an appointment?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not really I just want to go see my parents" I said.

"Hmmm...Stay for a bit then and I'll give you a ride later...I ordered this cake especially for you as a welcome back after all" Kinn said.

I raised an eyebrow in amusement then chuckled and shook my head.

"Still the same good old Kinn boasting about your presents" I said chuckling.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Yeah" He said smiling.

"Well...I suppose it won't hurt to stay for a while longer...How about you start with telling me about your daughter?" I asked.

"Oh...Neri? Me and Porsche found her in Hua Hin her mother was trying to drown her so we adopted her instead...We still haven't registered her yet in our name though since Porsche is waiting for her check ups to end" Kinn said.

"Check ups?" I asked frowning in confusion.

"Ummm...Yeah...She and her mother were abused by her father before her mother took her to the beach to kill her...Then her mother committed suicide...Because of the severe abuse Neri had a lot of health problems but she's getting better every day" Kinn said.

I opened my mouth to ask another question but the cake and tea arrived.

"Oh chocolate cake" I said excitedly then picked up my plate and started eating it as soon as it arrived.

Kinn raised an eyebrow at me.

"What? It's my favourite you know" I said.

He nodded and sipped his tea.

"Well then...What about Venice?" I asked as soon as I put the plate down.

Kinn sighed heavily and facepalmed.

"I seriously don't know how this kid managed to make it to eleven months old" Kinn said tiredly.

I frowned in confusion as I grabbed the plate again and continued eating the cake.

"The kid barks whenever the doorbell rings...Bites people's fingers when he's hungry and sleeps by the fire place" Kinn said.

I snorted and almost choked on the cake bite so I drank some tea to calm myself down.

"Oh and I haven't even told you about his eating habits...He literally shoves his head into the plate and starts lick feeding himself" Kinn continued.

"Oh my god" I said chuckling.

"Pete and miss Iris and sometimes Porsche and Porchay are trying to reverse Vegas's hand work but the kid seems to like the wild life of dogs or something" Kinn continued then facepalmed.

"Did you hire a nanny for him?" I asked.

"Miss Iris did...She's his godmother" Kinn said.

I nodded in understanding.

It's better to leave him with a professional.

"What's the deal with your girl though? She fell and hurt her nose just now but stood up and kept running as if it was a normal thing" I said.

"She did?" Kinn asked.

Then sighed heavily and facepalmed.

"Wait" He said then stood up and went upstairs.

After some time Porsche walked over to the garden and Kinn followed him.

They returned with the girl and started putting ointment on her face.

Then put a plaster on her nose and forehead before letting her go again.

The girl ran off immediately.

"She really has CIPA huh?" I asked chuckling awkwardly.

Porsche pursed his lips into a thin line and looked at the floor.

"The doctor said that the abuse affected her brain badly so she lost some of her primary senses such as taste and feel" Kinn said sullenly.

I pursed my lips into a thin line and looked at the floor.

"I'm going out for a bit ok?" Porsche asked.

Kinn nodded then Porsche left.

"Porsche has been so depressed because of it eversince he found out...I really don't know how to get him back to normal" Kinn said.

I sighed heavily and nodded because I also felt sorry for the girl.

"Distraction is the key...Porsche isn't depressed he's just grieving...Find something to distract him and it'll be just fine" I said.

Kinn frowned in confusion so I rolled my eyes and facepalmed.

"I seriously wonder how a loser like survived all these years...I'm talking about a date you dumb human" I said frustrated.

"But he refuses I've been trying to get him out to dinner for two weeks now" Kinn said.

"It doesn't have to be fancy...Know his style Kinn...Porsche is a practical person so even a grocery shopping day out will be fine" I said.

Kinn blinked twice then smiled.

"And before you start having extreme ideas I'm talking about a long grocery shopping day and then some ice cream time...Buying him something he needs will be good too...Like a new pair of shoes from his favourite brand or something" I explained.

"But he doesn't need any shoes" Kinn said.

"Damn it just figure it out yourself...Presents are essential requirements for anti depression" I snapped.

He seemed to get the message so he nodded.

"But that doesn't involve Neri in any way" Kinn said frowning.

"What happened to her is already done there's no way to change that so the only thing you can do now is do your best to get Porsche out of this state so you two will be happy again because I'm telling you if Porsche keeps up with this depression it might reflect badly on the girl" I said.

Then stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Do your best and call me if you need help anytime ok?" I asked.

He nodded and thanked me.

I walked over to my car and drove away.

I arrived back home and greeted my parents then talked to them for a bit before going to my room.

I showered then slumped on the bed and took out my phone.

I was scrolling the pictures on my gallery.

Most of those pictures made me cry for hours...

I sighed heavily and nodded to myself then started deleting all the pictures I had with Time.

Then opened the chat app and found Tem's contact.

"We need to talk tomorrow I'll pick you up from your house" I texted.

Then turned off the phone without waiting for a reply then closed my eyes to get some sleep.
