Kinn
.
Kinn remembers, being 3 years old, holding his papa's hand entering the VIP room of the hospital. She was there lying with her bloated stomach once agin flat and a crib beside her bed with a small squirming human.
Four months back by seeing his aunt Honey's stomach being a little bloated. "Mamma! Is Pa* hiding balloon under her dress?" Little Kinn asks with so much innocence that his mother can't even laugh. Though Khun being five, (two fingers more than Kinn) laughed out loud, "Idiot Kinn! It's not cause of a balloon but Pa has a baby in her stomach."
Kinn's little hands flew to his face "Pa ate a baby? Why?" He was in verge of tears.
Cherry picked her youngest son (at that moment) in her lap explaining, " That is how babies are born my Anakinn, you and Khun were also born like this. Remember how birds lay egg in there nest?" Kinn nodded "Like that only, but the egg is inside Pa* stomach."
So now after few months, here he is peeking at the new born baby boy, sleeping in his crib while papa is talking to uncle and aunt. Kinn raised his hand to touch the baby cheeks, and before his mother can stop him they heard a giggle.
The baby opened his eyes, dark brown, and as soon as saw kinn he started giggling.
"Look he likes you Kinn. Now you have to take care of him and protect him like P'Khun does for you." Determined Kinn nodded, his finger clasped in the little hands.
"What's his name?" The three year old asks.
"Porsche"
Then and there Kinn decided, this little boy is his.
It's not his first time seeing a baby, 2 months back his Uncle Gun had a baby, his name is Vegas but he is not nice like Porsche. Vegas doesn't smile at him or anybody, he either cries or sleeps. Porsche is much better, he decided.
Porsche
Porsche, his every first is Kinn. His first step was when P' Chan was scolding, not harshly, to Kinn for taking part in Khun's mischievous pranks. When he starts crawling and eventually holds a table in his chubby hands, tries to stand which is successful and walks two steps just to cling on Chan's leg, trying to push him.
Kinn sees that and exclaims, "Did you just took your first step just to save me from scolding?" And picks up little Porsche. Then wanders around the whole mansion telling everyone who he meets how much Porsche likes him.
His first words, Porsche was sitting with Vegas in the playroom and Vegas being two months older already started running, whereas Porsche was still learning to walk properly.Now an almost 12 month old took a toy from the 10 month old, Porsche did try to run behind him but fell on his knees. As soon as that happened, he started crying and seeing his friend cry Vegas also wailed. The elders along with Khun and Kinn in the next room came running, Gun's wife tried consoling her son same as Honey did to Porsche. Vegas was now quite, hiding his face in his mother's neck but everyone's attention went to the sound of "Inn...innn" and little Porsche stretching his arms towards the 4 year old.
Before qnyone could react, Tankhun shouted "Oi! I always give you my chocolate and you take Kinn's name."
Kinn, who was now holding Porsche in his arm replied "Cause I am his favorite."
After all this memories, comes his first crush and then love. Porsche was 13, when he learned about his parents love story. His father was his mother's head bodyguard, they fought for their love and marriage acceptance. He wondered for whom Porsche himself would fight the world just to be with the person. The answer was Kinn. For Kinn, Porsche will do anything.
.
His first heartbreak, again Kinn. Tankhun when learned about his crush along with Pete and Vegas convinced the 15 years old Porsche to confess reasoning, "My brother is graduating high school this year Porsche, he will move to college dorm and you will not able to see him for a loooooooooong time. He already came out as gay last birthday. Don't worry now. So confess! "
Vegas and Pete backing him up, P' Khun even managed to include Tae and Time (Kinn's closest friends), Big (the grumpy faced bodyguard of Kinn) in this plan to convince him. It was simple, they were having a weekend tour with the whole family so it was Porsche time to shine.
Sitting by the pool, dangling their legs in water, Porsche started.
"Kinn"
"Hmmm"
"I like a someone! A boy"
"Hmm! Good"
"I want to confess"
"You sure, you like him that much?"
"Yes"
"..........."
"I like you, Kinn"
"I like you too Porsche, but are you reahersing?"
"I am confessing." He bit his lower lip in anticipation.
Kinn listened and finished his soda, then replied "Porsche! Don't confuse your feelings okay! We grew up together that's why you feel like this. We are suppose to be cousins."
"But we are not related Kinn." He argued.
"You are confused. Don't worry it will not change anything between us. Now let's go inside. It's time to sleep."
Kinn stood up, pat Porsche's hair and went inside. The gang who were hiding and listening looked at each other, the one to break the silence was Tankhun who marches towards Porsche announcing "My brother is stupid! Forget his words. He thinks himself as a big guy. Idiot. Forget him. Let's go inside." Helds his hand and goes inside, the whole gang following.
Pete gave Porsche a sympathetic look, and Vegas nods his head. Big already on his duty.
The next month Kinn shifts to the university dorms. His words before departing were "Now that I am not around, you will find someone who will li...lo... would have same feelings for you." Hugs him and leaves.
Vegas
Vegas was having a nice day playing with his cousins and friends in the main house of Theerapanyakun's. He just doesn't understand why does he and Macau live at another house that's so far away. Can't they live nearby like Porsche and Chay, their house is just 30 mins away from here. Suddenly he saw his aunt Cherry and Pa Honey who were sitting nearby on the tea table in the garden glancing at him with a stiff face.
That day went from being a happy memory to a tragic one in a blink of eye for the 11 year old. Gun and his wife were coming back from a buisness deal when there car crashed with a gas tank driven by a drunkard, resulting spot dead. He remembers seeing both of their bodies laying side by side, remembers consoling little Macau, who being four didn't understand why is his parents not talking to him. He was going to shout at him that their mamma and papa are never coming back, if not Porsche holding is hands like the best person he was. They both shifted in the main house, but he never thinks he wished for this when he asked for nearby house.
Macau soon settled in comfortably, Chay being with him. They were like twins. Tankhun, Kinn, Porsche, Kim, uncles and aunt everyone was there for him. Porsche being his dear friend, staying with him as much as possible even if it irked Kinn but he tried to be understanding.
That was until he met Pete, same age as he and Porsche. He was a brought by Uncle korn to be P'Khun's companion with the promise to be given proper education and facilities. One day Vegas was missing his mother's hug at night and went in the kitchen were no would find him to cry his heart out. He was letting his tear flow when he heard "Don't cry. They won't like if you cry."
"Everyone says that. You won't know what it feels like to loose your parents." Vegas tells him, a little irritated.
After a brief silence he heard "I will know, my parents also left me when I was 7 with my grandparents. They were going to a foreign country to start buisness but the plain got crashed. But my grandma told me that if I cry they will also feel hurt, so now whenever I remember them I smile."
Vegas couldn't help but smile at that, which turn into a little shock when the later hugged him. But soon he reciprocates as Pete's hug had warmth not like his mother but close. It was decided then that no matter for whom he came for, he will ultimately be Vegas's person.
Pete
Pete was helping his grandma, when a man with bodyguards following him came in his house. He came to know that it is Khun Korn, the man who helps this island after his father.
Khun korn was asking his grandparents about him, when his grandma mouths her worry about his studies as the island lacks proper education system. Other kids have parents unlike him who takes them to city for studies. Soon he learns that they have proposal for his better education, he needs to simply be Khun Korn's eldest son's companion. Pete's grandparents agreed for his future.
And within a day he was leaving the island that he was living for 13 years. He thought he was lured to be some rich brat's slave, however it was not the case. In the Theerapanyakun's household he found Khun noo, who later turned to P'khun and P'kinn who treated him like another brother. Porsche, who became his best friend and platonic soulmate in upcoming years. Kim, Chay and Macau were kinda his younger brothers, though he doesn't understands how Kim functions. Khun Korn being Uncle Korn along with Uncle Chayapat, Aunt Cherry and Aunt Honey.
He was glad for everything he gained at the Theerapanyakun's but mostly he is glad for meeting Vegas. The boy crying in kitchen missing his parents like him, he was thankful to his stars that made him meet Vegas. He understood everything Pete went through, the spark he felt on the first meet became to grow since then.
