Liam's Pov

I let a small smile appear on my face as Tankhun snuggled his face closer into my chest.

After our kiss, it still amazed me that we had kissed just a few minutes ago, we decided to just cuddle in bed.

We were lying on our backs with Tankhun's arms wrapped around my waist and his head resting on my chest.

Neither of us said anything and we were simply lying there in comfortable silence.

It was honestly fine for us since we didn't really have anything to talk about. Not to mention all we wanted was to just be in each others arms.

And after what we went through, we were content with just holding each other and knowing that we were safe.

Me being the most content knowing that Tankhun was still here because I was scared to death that he had gone into a coma or worse.

I shivered at the last part and did my best to just push it aside.

I let out a small hum as I brought my hand up to Tankhun's hair and gently ran my fingers through it.

The silence continued for a while before it was soon broken by the beautiful man I was cuddling with.

"Was that your first kiss?" Tankhun asked.

"What?" I asked, still staring up at the ceiling.

Tankhun huffed slightly before continuing.

"Was that your first kiss? Or have you kissed somebody before me?" Tankhun asked.

My lips formed into an 'o' shape and I tore my eyes away from the ceiling in order to look down at him.

Having sensed my eyes were on him he turned his head so that he was looking at me.

"It was my first kiss" I revealed.

"Really?" Tankhun asked, slightly shocked but more so happy.

I chuckled softly and nodded, "yes. I was never in a relationship with anyone therefore I never had a relationship. Meaning I never had my first kiss, until now".

Back in my world I did have a few crushes but I was always too shy and scared to make moves.

But after my parents died I decided to just focus on myself rather than crushes or relationships.

Not to mention I was in a dark place after losing the two most important people in my life, I didn't have time for relationships.

"Well, I'm glad. Because this was also my first kiss" Tankhun told me.

"Well, not trying to be rude, but that was expected since you have spent your entire life inside the compound" I reminded him.

"I know. It's expected that I never kissed anyone let alone dated anyone. Which, honestly, I'm glad about" Tankhun said.

"How so?" I asked in curiosity.

Tankhun picked his head up in order to look at me.

A small smile appeared on his face and he brought a hand up in order to cup the side of my face with it.

I found myself leaning into his touch causing him to send me a small smile.

"Because if I had to give my first kiss to someone, I'm glad it was to you" Tankhun softly said.

My heart fluttered at that and I felt my cheeks turning red.

I gently cupped the sides of his face gently and he immediately leaned into my touch.

"I feel the same way" I softly said.

I really mean it.

Because if I had to lose my first kiss to someone I'm really, and I mean really, happy it was to Tankhun.

It's still a shock but I don't care because I'm over the moon about it.

"Good" Tankhun nodded.

I laughed softly at that causing him to laugh as well.

Before we knew it we were leaning in and our lips were touching each others once more.

My hands were still cupping Tankhun's face and he moved his arms so that they were wrapped around my neck.

The kiss was sweet yet passionate at the same time.

It felt like after everything we were finally doing what we wanted especially when we both grew feelings for each other.

Sadly, we had to break the kiss since we did need air.

After catching our breaths we pressed our foreheads together and smiled at each other.

"I hate to break this cute moment, but I need to ask you something" Tankhun said.

"Of course. What is it?" I asked.

Tankhun opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, biting his lip as he did so.

I patiently waited for him to say what he wanted to say, passing time by just caressing his face while admiring his beauty.

After a minute he took a few deep breaths before opening his mouth to speak.

"What are we? I mean, are we together now?" Tankhun asked.

My eyes widened slightly at his words before letting his words ponder carefully into my brain.

After what just happened between us, are we together?

I mean, we did confess our feelings to each other, we literally kissed and we were cuddling just moments ago.

And how we're always so affectionate towards each other and speaking affectionately.

It'll be really stupid if we say we aren't dating.

"Well, I don't know about you but I would really like for us to be together. Only if you're alright with it, of course" I said.

As much as I would like for us to be together, I have to take his feelings into consideration.

Maybe he isn't ready just yet for something like a relationship and I don't want him to get into something he's not ready for.

And while it'll suck, I'll understand and wait as long as I need to.

Tankhun's eyes widened at my words and he sat up from the bed.

I was disappointed that he wasn't in my arms anymore but sat up from the bed as well.

I'm curious to see what he was going to say.

"Are you kidding? I want nothing more than to be your boyfriend!" Tankhun yelled, looking and sounding appalled at the fact that I thought he wouldn't want that.

I winced slightly. Damn sensitive ears.

But then a smile appeared on my face and I couldn't stop my heart from beating the way that it did.

I let out a small laugh before leaning closer to him as I placed my hands onto his shoulders.

"Then I guess it's official. As of today, we're boyfriends" I told him.

Tankhun's eyes widened at my words and I saw nothing but relief and happiness flash through his eyes.

He then let out a breathless laugh before cupping the sides of my face and smashed his lips onto mine.

I squealed in delight before kissing him back as I moved my arms down to his waist and wrapped them around it, pulling him close.

When we pulled away from the kiss in order to catch our breaths Tankhun smiled at me before wrapping his arms around my neck, hugging me tightly.

I chuckled before hugging him back as I buried my face into his head and he buried his into my shoulder.

As we were hugging, just enjoying being in each others arms, I pondered everything that just happened and everything that was just said.

Nothing but giddiness, happiness and slight worry filled me at the realization as I held onto Tankhun tighter.

Boyfriends...

Tankhun and I were boyfriends.

I have a boyfriend.

And it was none other than Tankhun Theerapanyakun.

To say I was blessed would be the understatement of the century. No joke.

Nobody's Pov

Meanwhile, there was something taking place inside an apartment that was located far away from the compound of the Theerapanyakun family.

An apartment that belonged to Kim Theerapanyakun, the youngest brother of the main family.

After leaving the hospital, after making sure that his oldest brother was going to be alright, he immediately made his way back home.

Once he was home he locked all his doors as well as his windows before heading into his office.

When he stepped inside he closed and locked the door before walking to a certain hidden spot of his.

The hidden spot that contained his board.

The board he's used since day 1 to try and put missing pieces together to figure out the secrets of his father and what he was doing.

Kim knows his father better than anyone and it's clear that he knows the man is keeping secrets.

And Kim wants to know what they are.

And he has a feeling those secrets are connected to the new bodyguards of his other older brother, Kinn.

He had a feeling his father was up to something the day he had Kinn hire the Kittisawat brothers to be his new bodyguards.

It just made no sense.

Sure, those two might be great fighters but it made no sense for his father to hire them when neither of them had any experience.

But there was something else that made no sense.

And that was Liam Kittisawat.

The adopted brother of Porsche and Porchay.

Liam seemed to know things. Things that nobody else know, not even his father.

Liam knew about the assassin that followed his brother into the bathroom. He knew about the drugging the day of the auction.

How Kim knows about this?

That's a story for another time.

But, going back to what he was talking about before.

It made no sense for Liam to know about any of this way before anyone else.

And what also didn't make sense was that Liam wasn't scared or intimidated by his father. In reality, it seems to be the other way around.

Now, while he wants to be impressed he can't.

The reason being because of his frustration for more answers to make clear of everything.

But the main reason being that he didn't trust him.

Not only was Liam secretive and suspicious, but he allowed Tankhun to get shot.

If he had done his job the right way, his brother would've never gotten shot.

Hell, if Liam had never even left the house in the first place his brother wouldn't have followed after him and they wouldn't have gotten kidnapped.

He blames Liam and only Liam for everything that happened.

He could've lost his hia. He and Kinn could've lost their hia. 

And while that wasn't the case, thank god, he would never be able to forgive that bodyguard for being the reason he lost a member of his family.

Kim clenched his fist at his sides as he stared at his board with a calculating gaze.

"Are you really who you say you are, Liam Kittisawat?" Kim asked.

Liam Kittisawat was hiding something, he was 100% sure of it.

And rest assured he was going to find out what it was.
