Chapter Text

"Let's go party! All drinks on me and when we come back we can watch the series! Lets go, Porsche, Pol, Arm, come on!" Tahnkun whined as he stood up from the white couch in front of the television.

Pol groaned. "Didn't we just go out last night? You don't need more to drink do you?"

"Whatever Pol you can stay. Porsche, Arm?"

"Yes, Mr. Tahnkun." Arm replied.

"Great! Let's go party!"

Porsche and Arm managed to get Pol to come along. The men got into the car and drove to the Hum bar.

"You guys are back again?" Yok said as she noticed the guys walking in.

"Yep! Get me 4 shots!" Tahnkun said excitedly.

As the guys were drinking, Vegas and Pete showed up.

"Pete? Is that you?" Tahnkun turned around when he saw the familiar hair.

"Yes Mr.Tahnkun, it is." Pete smiled.

Tahnkun got up and grabbed Pete into a bear hug. "Oh Pete, I've missed you so much! Why can't you come back to me!"

"I missed you too Mr.Tahnkun. I left to take care of Vegas. We do have a surprise for you though." Pete grinned at the end of his sentence. "Porsche, will you please explain?"

"As the new head of the minor family, Kinn and I made arrangements for Pete to come back to the main family house with Vegas and Macau. That way we don't need to worry about them being away from us and you won't have to cry at night missing Pete anymore, Mr. Tahnkun." Porsche explained.

"Pete! I can finally have you back!" Tahnkun cheered.

"Someone's excited." Vegas muttered.

"Let me get some more shots!" Tahnkun said happily.

The guys spent hours drinking, laughing and dancing. They had fun with one another and stayed up until they couldn't. They were drunk but not drunk enough to have their guard down.

"I'll be back in a minute boys, let me use the bathroom and we'll be on our way back." Tahnkun slightly slurred as he got off the bench full of the other men.

As Tahnkun began his descent to the bathroom he felt a quite creepy aura surrounding him. He slightly tensed but continued walking towards the restrooms.

"Missed me?" A voice said behind Tahnkun.

Before Tahnkun could turn around and see the person, everything went black.

--------------------------------

"Hey, Mr. Tahnkun has been gone for a while. Shouldn't we go check on him?" Pete said as he looked around for Tahnkun.

Porsche looked up next. "Shit, what if something happened to him? I hope he didn't make a wrong turn into the alley instead of where the restrooms are. We gotta go find him. You guys check near the restrooms I'm going to the alley way."

"Let me come with you Porsche. It's not safe for you to go alone if something happened." Vegas said.

"Whatever. Lets go." Porsche got up and headed towards the alley way while Pete, Arm and Pol went towards the restroom area.

As Porsche and Vegas arrived upon the alley, Porsche noticed something.

"Vegas, this is a piece of Mr.Tahnkun's jacket. It looks like they hit him with whatever piece of metal this is too."

"Shit. When we were kids this same exact thing happened when he was kidnapped. Every time he got kidnapped it was a different person but it was the same organization. It must be newer people they recruited." Vegas explained.

"Kinn's going to fucking kill me. Where do you think they have taken him?"

"They take him to different locations every time. We might just have to wait until they send out the ransom. In the meantime we need to get back to the main family house. We have to let Uncle Korn and Kinn know. We can't risk anything further. Call Kinn. I'll get Pete and tell him what we found. Lets go."

"Right." Porsche dialed Kinn's number as he and Vegas walked away from the alley.

Before they left, they used a nearby plastic bag to pick up the evidence left.

"Porsche? Is everything okay?" Kinn asked from the other side of the phone.

"We think Tahnkun has been kidnapped." Porsche said seriously.

"What? Aren't you guys at the bar?"

"Yes but he made the wrong turn to go to the restrooms. He went into an alley way instead and Vegas thinks he got kidnapped. There's a piece of his jacket and a piece of metal left behind."

"Alright, we'll send out a search party. God knows how much they might toy with him before they tell us where he is."

"Okay. We are going to head back to the house to figure this out. We'll be there in a few minutes."

"Okay. I love you, please stay safe out there, Porsche."

"I love you too. We'll be there soon. Bye."

"Bye."

As the phone call ended the men got into their vehicles and drove towards the main family house. They entered through the doors and met Kinn on the second floor.

"We've just sent out the search party. I'm trying to get in contact with Kim but he won't answer." Kinn said as the other males arrived.

"Doesn't Kim have these like, super nosy but beneficial uses?" Vegas asked.

"Yes and that's exactly why I need to contact him! When Porsche's brother got kidnapped Kim was one of the first people to figure out where he was. He was so quick and that's why we need him." Kinn rubbed his temple.

"Maybe Chay has his number? After he saved him at that warehouse they probably met. Maybe we could ask?" Porsche suggested.

"It's worth a shot. Lets go see." Kinn and Porsche walked with the other men to Porchay's room.

"Hey Chay, can me and Kinn ask you a ques...tion." Porsche and Kinn looked stunned to see Kim and Chay in the room cuddling in the bed.

"What the fuck." Kinn whispered.

"Well no wonder he wasn't answering." Vegas smirked.

"Vegas shut up." Pete muttered.

Kinn walked towards the bed and shook Kim awake.

"Huh?" Kim muttered as he opened his eyes.

"Kim we have an emergency. Tahnkun's been kidnapped." Kinn said.

Kim jumped up to sit up right. "What?" Kim almost yelled.

"P'Kim?" Porchay woke up and looked around and suddenly became flustered.

"Oh Chay don't think we won't be having a conversation about this later." Porsche said sternly pointing in between Porchay and Kim.

"Arm did you check for his location?" Kim asked, now fully awake.

"I tried but the whole system is down. It's like it's hacked." Arm said worridly.

"What do you mean hacked?" Kinn asked alarmed.

"I have no access to any locations or any CCTV. All communication lines are down. Does Mr. Korn know?"

"I will go let him know. Maybe we can think of a plan while we figure all of this out." Pol said before turning out the door, dedicated to finding Korn.

"We need to figure out who could've kidnapped him. Are there any clues?" Kim looked up.

"Porsche and Vegas found a piece of his jacket and a piece of metal left behind." Kinn said as Vegas held up the evidence in hand.

"If we're lucky we can find a finger print. Does anybody have the supplies?"

"Here you are, Mr.Kim." Arm said as he pulled the necessary items needed from the bag he was carrying.

Vegas carefully put down the items with the plastic on the bed. Using the plastic as a base, Kim used the materials to try and uncover any fingerprints or DNA.

"Shit. They were using gloves. It seems as if Tahnkun's jacket was untouched. There's nothing on it except for his fingerprints." Kim said, frustrated that he couldn't figure out anything.

"There has to be something." Pete muttered.

------------------------------

Tahnkun was in an abandoned warehouse, tied to a chair.

"Oi, wake up." The kidnapper kicked him in efforts of waking him up.

"Huh? Porsche? Arm? Pol? Where are you guys?" Tahnkun muttered as he started gaining back consiousness.

"They aren't here."

"Who are you?" Tahnkun looked up and was instantly stunned.

"I thought you died."

Chapter Text

"I thought you were dead." Tahnkun spoke vividly.

"I faked my death in front of Kinn and Porsche. It's time to let them know I'm back. I would like to beat up that pretty face of yours first." The man smiled.

"What is wrong with you? Huh? Always doing something for what? Attention?" Tahnkun yelled, angered that the man who hurt his brother and family and now him.

"That's no way to treat someone who was almost your brother-in-law."

"Key word, almost. You weren't cut out for that role. Kinn doesn't want you. He has his own love."

"We both know he still loves me. We both know that he still wants me. Why else would he keep memories huh? Why did he believe me when I said Porsche was the traitor?"

"That was before you asshole. Everything to him is clear right now and he knows who he loves. He got rid of every memory of you."

"Whatever. He'll still be mine. He'll fall for me again. I just know it!" The man smiled widely.

"There's no chance for you, Tawan." Tahnkun spat.

"Just shut up will you?" Tawan took a sharp piece of metal and started to stab Tahnkun with it.

"You bitch." Tahnkun said as he tried to endure the pain.

"I said to be quiet. You know what, once my men are done with you then I'll call Kinn. Have fun, bitch." Tawan laughed as he turned and walked out the door.

A few minutes later, four men walked into the room.

"Wow, ain't he cute." One of the men smirked.

"Aren't you like 60? You look old as fuck." Tahnkun said, trying to seem not as terrified at the comment he was.

"Listen up pretty boy, we aren't going easy on ya." One of the other men said as he walked up to Tahnkun and went in his face.

The man grabbed his face and brought it close to his own.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Tahnkun panicked as he tried to squirm out of grasp.

"Calm down baby, we will take good care of you.

The man kissed Tahnkun as another man started to rub a hand down one side of his chest. The man broke the kiss and began to remove Tahnkun's clothing as much as possible through the rope with the help of the other men.

"Hey stop! What are you doing?!" Tahnkhun was stunned and tried to fight back with no avail due to the heavy duty rope keeping him tied to the chair.

"Don't worry cutie, we'll be done with you soon."

--------------------------------------------

"Any update?" Kinn asked when Pol returned to the room.

"Yes. The location and CCTV system is working for Mr.Korn. According to the system it looks like its the same warehouse where Porchay was taken to when he was kidnapped." Pol said.

"That can only mean one thing then." Vegas said as he realized an important factor.

"Which is?" Porsche asked.

"Tawan is still alive." Vegas sighed.

"What? But he killed himself? He shot himself right in front of me and Kinn." Porsche said, shocked.

"But what if he didn't? Remember a bomb went off the moment he pulled the trigger? What if it was just a deception." Kinn said slowly.

"What are you guys doing just standing here? Lets go find Tahnkun." Pete said.

"Right. Kim stay here and we will alert you if we need backup so you can alert the other bodyguards." Kinn said.

"Do you guys even have a plan other than busting into the warehouse at once?" Kim said.

"We'll figure it out on the way. We just need to get to Tahnkun as soon as possible so that he is safe." Vegas said.

Vegas, Pete, Porsche, Kinn, Pol and Arm all left the room, leaving Porchay and Kim alone again.

"P'Kim, what's going on? I'm confused." Porchay asked.

Kim chuckled. "Please stop calling me P'Kim." He smiled at Porchay for a moment before the smile fell. "Tahnkun got kidnapped and we assume that it's Tawan. He was the man who kidnapped you for leverage."

"O-oh. Hia told me he was dead, no?" Porchay said.

"He's not. His stupid ass just blew up part of the warehouse and that was it. Some of that warehouse is still intact so he took Tahnkun there." Kim explained.

"What is with that guy and kidnapping people? When we took me I woke up and I asked who he was and he didn't answer me but then someone said Hia was coming and he drugged me again so I was hardly conscious. All I remember was that you were holding me and we escaped and you got me to the ambulance." Porchay rambled on.

"I wish I wasn't so weak then. I couldn't save you before you got taken away. Now Tahnkun's been taken away too and only God knows if they're doing the worst shit to him. You got luckier than when Tahnkun got kidnapped in the past. I wasn't that old to remember everything but growing up I got more insight of the stories and it's just horrible." Kim also rambled on with Porchay.

After the two of them had made up and explained everything to each other, they started dating again without their brothers knowing. They didn't know of their relationship prior either. They wanted to keep it that way so not a lot of attention would be dragged to them. As they started opening up to each other more, rambling sessions became a normal thing for them, especially when they are worried.

"Will everyone be okay?" Porchay asked simply after a few moments of silence.

"I'm sure they will." Kim said, trying to sound sure in his words but slightly failing.

-------------------------------------------

"Men, get ready. We'll be marching in soon. Remember the plan. We will go in at different moments. First is Pol and Arm. Then Vegas and Pete. And lastly, Porsche and I will walk in from different places and try to throw them off guard." Kinn recited the plan through the ear pieces all the men were wearing.

"Let's do this as quickly as possible. We gotta get Tahnkun back home and we need to make it back alive." Porsche said, worridly.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you so nervous?" Kinn asked Porsche who was sitting in the driver seat next to him.

"I...I'm worried about this. It was dangerous enough when he took Chay. He still won't tell me what happened that day when it happened like what happened before he was taken to the warehouse. It's upsetting to see those you care about be taken and then unable to open up, y'know? Sorry, I'm just rambling on here I should stop." Porsche stopped abruptly.

"It's okay. I know what you mean. It is hard but you're right about the fact we need to stay alive. We all have people to take care of. We'll be fine. Everything will be fine and we'll be home with Tahnkun and we won't have to be so worrisome again." Kinn attempted to calm Porsche down a bit.

His actions helped but not a lot.

"We have to go in now." Kinn sighed before clicking the microphone on the earpiece. "Pol, Arm, you're up."

Chapter Text

Arm and Pol walked into the building, standing clear of any threats. They clicked on the ear pieces to send a signal to show that the next pair can follow. As the next few minutes passed by, Pol and Arm found the part of the warehouse Tahnkun was in based on the muffled screams. Vegas and Pete followed in pursuit of Arm and Pol. Nothing had prepared them for the scene in front of them.

There was a man kissing Tahnkun's neck, another man touching his bare chest, a third man playing with his hair and the last one standing there and laughing. The four men held up their guns to the group of men who were harassing Tahnkun. They let shots ring out killing all four guys instantly.

"Tahnkun are you okay? Did they hurt you badly?" Vegas asked as he approached his cousin.

Vegas untied the rope that was holding Tahnkun down.

"Vegas...I'm scared." Tahnkun whimpered in a small voice.

"It's okay, we're here now. Do you know who took you here?" Vegas asked calmly.

"It's Tawan. He's coming here. Please kill him for real this time." Tahnkun said slightly panicked as one hand grabbed onto Vegas's shirt.

Pete clicked on the earpiece twice to let Kinn and Porsche know that they can start heading in. Just as he sent the signal, Tawan came back.

"Shit! You weren't supposed to find us yet!" Tawan said and he looked at the people in front of him.

All four men raised their guns at Tawan who was weaponless.

"What is wrong with you, huh?" Vegas said, angered at seeing Tawan's face.

"Vegas, you're here again! I still love you. Please take me back." Tawan tried to walk closer to Vegas but was stopped by the guns inching closer towards him.

"I never wanted you." Vegas said as he opened fire on Tawan.

A bullet striked him right in his head.

"You and your bitchass family.." Tawan said before he stopped breathing.

Kinn and Porsche got into the building expecting to see other stuff happening but it seems that the fight was already over.

"It wasn't the organization. It was just Tawan being a bitch." Vegas said.

"Mr. Tahnkun, does it hurt anywhere?" Pete asked as he finally approached Tahnkun.

"M..my neck hurts. He stabbed me a bit on my stomach. I feel disgusting right now. Can we just go home." Tahnkun said with tears threatening to fall out of his eyes.

"Come on, let's go home and we'll fix you up, okay?" Kinn said as he helped to pick up his brother by the arms with Pete to lead him to the car.

"Come get into the back seat. Do you want me to sit back here with you?" Kinn asked as Tahnkun quickly got into the back seat.

Tahnkun just nodded so Kinn sat in the back with him as Porsche drove. They began their descent back to the main family compound.

"Kinn..." Tahnkun said wearily.

"Yes?" Kinn turned to his brother.

"I'm scared. They were touching me like they did when we were kids." Tahnkun started crying.

"Oh my god. Tahnkun, can I hold your hand?"

Tahnkun nodded.

"Look, you're back here with us. You're safe now. I know its coming with a lot of trauma but you'll get through it. You're a strong person Khun. I know it's scary and I know that you're scared shitless right now but I promise you, we're going to protect you and keep you safe." Kinn said in an effort to try and calm Tahnkun down.

Tahnkun continued to cry, still holding his brother's hand, gripping onto it as if it was the end of the world. All Tahnkun could remember was all the other times he was kidnapped as a kid and the trauma he had to endure.

Soon enough, all the men arrived back at the mansion.

"Do you want to shower first Khun or see Kim?" Kinn asked in a soft voice.

"Can I take a shower first." Tahnkun muttered quietly.

"Of course. Do you want anyone to stay with you or are you okay to shower by yourself?" Kinn continued to gently talk with brother, not wanting to say the wrong things.

"Can you stay with me actually?" Tahnkun said in a small voice.

"I have no problem with that. Come on, let's go to your room and get you freshened up. Porsche can you go check on Kim and Chay?" Kinn said before he walked away with Tahnkun.

Porsche nodded as he went towards the direction of Porchay's room. Porsche walked in and announced that they were back.

"Is Tahnkun okay?" Kim asked worridly.

Despite the fact he doesn't come home often, Kim still loves his brothers. He doesn't come back due to his father but he will always love his brothers.

"He's..well he's alive. Kinn went with him to take a shower. There are hickeys all over his neck and he said that he's scared because there were men that Tawan had ordered to toy with him and they were touching him like how they did when he was a kid." Porsche explained.

Kim looked horrified before a murderous look had cast upon his face. "Are they dead? If not I will kill them myself."

Porchay grabbed Kim's hand and tried to calm him down.

"They are all dead. I'm pretty sure Vegas made sure of that." Porsche said.

"Good." Kim said coldly.

"Now don't think I forgot what I said earlier. So are you two dating?" Porsche smirked.

Both boys suddenly became flustered. "Maybe." Porchay muttered out.

"For how long?"

"We were actually dating before Chay got kidnapped but once Chay moved here we broke up since I was being a dumbass but we started dating again a few days ago." Kim explained, a bit embarrassed.

"You hurt my brother?" Porsche asked in an intimidating tone.

"Hia calm down. We broke up before because he knew it wasn't safe because of the family rivalry or whatever. We started dating again after he explained everything now that it's over and you're the head of the minor family. He just wanted to protect me." Porchay defended Kim.

"Oh is that so?" Porsche said and then laughed. "I'm just messing with you guys. I one hundred percent support you guys. If you ever need anything you just gotta ask me or Kinn."

"Thank you Hia." Porchay smiled.

"Of course. Also don't forget to use protection." Porsche winked.

"HIA!" "PORSCHE!"

Porsche burst out laughing. "I'm just playing. I should go check on Kinn and Tahnkun. I'll be back later." Porsche walked out of the room leaving the two flustered boys alone in the room, again.

----------------------------------------

As Tahnkun finished up his shower, Kinn was getting some pajamas for him to wear.

"Khun are you okay? Did you clean and bandage your wounds?" Kinn asked when he heard the bathroom door open.

"Mhm." Was all he muttered out.

"Come get your clothes on and then we can go see Kim okay? We can do whatever you want as well."

"I want to see Kim."

"Okay let's get your clothes on first."

Porsche had come into the room when Tahnkun was still showering so he went back to Porchay and Kim for the time being.

"I'm done."

"Okay, let's go Khun."

Kinn and Tahnkun walked out of the room together and headed towards Porchay's bedroom.

"Isn't this Chay's room?" Tahnkun asked.

"Kim's in there." Kinn smiled.

The two of them walked in and Kim practically jumped off the bed.

"Khun are you alright?" Kim said as he approached his eldest brother.

Tahnkun didn't say anything and just hugged Kim.

"Khun?" Kim was a bit stunned by the sudden hug.

"I love you Kim. You too Kinn." Tahnkun pulls Kinn into the hug as well.

"We love you too." Kim said. "Are you okay?"

"Mhm. I'm really glad that you're here Kim. Please come back more often." Tahnkun cried.

"I...okay. I'll only come back for you, Kinn and Chay. I don't want anything to do with Papa." Kim hesitated with his words.

"I don't care as long as you come visit often."

"Okay Khun. I'll visit back here more often."

"Thank you."

Porsche and Porchay watched in awe as the three brothers in front of them looked so comfortable, almost vulnerable.

"How do we move forward from all of this?" Tahnkun laughed a bit.

"We have each other and that's how we'll move forward." Kinn smiled.

Chapter Text

"Did you want to do anything, Khun?" Kim asked.

The three had separated from the hug a while ago and had sat around in Porchay's room. They were all feeling comfortable.

"Can we go eat? Like all of us together?" Tahnkun asked shyly.

"Of course. Where do you wanna eat?" Kinn asked.

"We can just eat in the cafeteria. I just want us all to be together."

"You got it. Let's go then."

All of them left the room together and went down to the cafeteria.

"Is there anything specific you want P'Tahnkun?" Porchay asked politely.

"Not really. Chay come sit next to me why don't you. Let's talk before the rest of them come back from getting the food." Tahnkun had a small smile on his face.

"Uh, sure." Porchay was a bit confused but he still sat down next to Tahnkun.

"So, are you dating Kim?" Tahnkun smilied.

"I- well yeah." Porchay chuckled as his lips formed into a goofy smile.

"How does he treat you?"

"He's great. He meets all my needs and takes care of me."

"Great! I knew I raised him well!" Tahnkun said excitedly as Porchay laughed.

The other guys had come to the table with food as the two were laughing and giggling.

"What are you guys laughing about?" Porsche asked as he sat down.

"We were just talking about Kim." Tahnkun laughed.

"Huh?" Kim perked up. "What were you saying about me?"

Tahnkun and Porchay burst out laughing again. Tahnkun tried to whisper in Porchay's ear but it might've been too loud.

"I told you Kimhant looks like a stray cat when he hears his name." Tahnkun laughed.

Porchay continued to laugh even harder at the comment while Kim looked at his brother with a playful angerness.

"Oh no, please don't hurt me little Kimmy." Tahnkun said dramatically making everyone at the table laugh.

"Oh I'm coming for you Khun." Kim went around the table to Tahnkun, laughing.

Kim hugged Tahnkun from the back and they just continued to laugh.

"It's been so long since I heard Kim being called Kimmy." Kinn laughed.

"Where did Kimmy even come from?" Porsche asked as he tried to subside his laughter.

"Kim used to call himself Kimmy when he was four and it was absolutely adorable." Tahnkun reminisced.

"I did?" Kim said confused, making Tahnkun and Kinn laugh.

"Yes! And you made us call you Kimmy until you were five." Kinn continued to laugh.

"I'm calling you that from now on, Kimmy." Porchay giggled next to Tahnkun.

"I'm coming after you too." Kim smiled as he went to tickle Porchay.

"Hey Kim, don't harm the baby." Tahnkun said as Porchay and Kim were laughing.

Kim instantly stopped. "Yes sir, understood sir." Kim laughed as he bowed to Tahnkun.

"You guys are hilarious." Porsche laughed as he shoved some food into his mouth.

Just as Kim took a seat next to Porchay, Korn had walked up to their table.

"Tahnkun, how come you didn't come speak to me after you were retrieved?" Korn asked.

"Sorry, as soon I found out Kim was here I wanted to see him and I totally forgot." Tahnkun replied.

"When you're done eating we will speak. Kim, Kinn, come with Tahnkun as well. We need to talk." Korn said and walked away before any of the brothers could respond.

The boys continued to eat and laugh and have fun through their meal. Once they were done, the Theerapanyakul brothers went to meet their father in his office.

"Papa? What did you want to speak about?" Kinn asked.

"Do you realize the threats that have suddenly been imposed on our family all because Tahnkun was kidnapped?" Korn said as he touched Tahnkun's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Tahnkun asked.

"Someone hacked Arm's access to the system as you may already know. Due to this they know everything as far as our security goes which means we might be under attack unless we change our system quickly. Chan and a few others have already started to change out the system to help prevent anything else from happening. With this, no one is allowed to leave the building until further notice. You have to live here Kim." Korn explained.

"All my stuff is at my house though." Kim argued.

"Bodyguards can go get your stuff. You're staying here and that's final."

"I've been safe on my own since I was eighteen. Why can't I just go back to my own house?" Kim argued again, getting pissed with his father.

"Because Kim, you love Porchay don't you?" Korn said, irritated.

Kim stayed silent.

"Whoever hacked the system knows everything. If they get into the house guess who they're going to attack while you're gone."

Kim was pissed. "This is bullshit."

Kim turned around and was about to walk out the door but was stopped by Chan.

"Please refrain from leaving until boss is done speaking." Chan said monotonously.

Kim sighed and turned back around to face his father. He knew better than to disobey Chan.

"As I was saying, to take better precautions, no bodyguard or any of you leave here unless instructed to by me." Korn said sternly.

"Yes Papa." Kinn nodded.

"That is all. You are dismissed. Chan make an announcement on this matter." Korn said as turned around to face his balcony.

"Yes, sir." Chan said as he moved out of the doorway for the brothers to exit.

"Kim you can't go freaking out on Papa like that." Tahnkun scolded.

"He was using my emotions as an excuse to keep me here." Kim said, still pissed off.

"He didn't mean it like that Kim. He wants to keep everyone safe." Kinn butted in.

"Keep everyone safe my ass. Don't you realize that he blamed Tahnkun's kidnapping as a reason for this happening? The system had to be hacked in some other way if only Arm had access to it out of the group. I believe Papa is setting something up." Kim explained.

"You're saying Papa took away Arm's access to the system because he's planning something?" Tahnkun asked.

"Yes. Don't you realize what happened with Porsche and Chay's parents were Papa's doing? It makes so much more sense than what Papa claims happened. Uncle Gun's story was right."

"Kim, do you realize what's going to happen if Papa finds out you're saying all of this?" Kinn whispered amongst his brothers.

"I don't even care at this point. I know you guys don't want anything to escalate further and that's why you keep defending him but we all know the truth." Kim said, coldly.

"Kim, you know I love you right?" Tahnkun started.

Kim hummed in response.

"I don't want you to have this kind of attitude. Everything you're saying is true but I don't want something happening to you." Tahnkun continued.

"Khun, I love you too but Papa is someone who is going to be our downfall." Kim responded.

"Can we stop talking about this? Why don't we go to relax with Porsche and Porchay?" Kinn suggested.

"Sure." Kim tried to relax himself but it was evident he was still pissed.

The Theerapanyakul brothers walked into Porchay's room where the Kittisawat brothers were.

"Kim are you okay? Why are you upset." Porchay asked as he went up to Kim.

"I...it's nothing, don't worry about it." Kim just hugged Porchay.

Porchay melted into the hug sensing that Kim just needed some comfort. Kim instantly calmed down the moment he felt the warm body of his boyfriend on his.

"I love you." Tears prickled in Kim's eyes as he said those words.

"I love you too. Kim, what happened to you?" Porchay asked, worried about the man in front of him.

"Well um...Papa is planning something and I don't want to lose you." Kim's held back emotions for years suddenly came out, shocking Kinn and Tahnkun.

"What do you mean lose me?" Chay asked calmly despite the fact his anxiety started to climb up.

"He said no one is allowed to leave the building unless directed by him. I told him I've been living on my own since eighteen and have been safe there since. When I asked him why I couldn't go back he used my feelings for you as an excuse for me to stay here." Kim didn't know that he could ever spew out so many emotions at once.

"Kim, you won't lose me, ever. Whatever your father said doesn't matter because I'm right here. Everyone who cares about you is right here." Porchay smiled.

Kim engulfed Porchay in another hug as he sobbed. "Thank you for coming into my life. I love you so much."

"Wait, Kinn, we can't leave the building meaning that none of the bodyguards can leave either?" Porsche asked.

"Yes. He doesn't want anybody to leave." Kinn said, absentmindedly.

"Kinn, I feel like I'm about to..faint.." Tahnkun grabbed onto Kim's shoulder before he blacked out.

"Khun!"

Chapter Text

Kinn held Tahnkun in his arms as he raced to the medical and recovery unit.

"Mr.Kinn, sir." One of the doctors bowed. "Please place him on the bed."

"He just fainted all of a sudden. I'm not sure why. I don't know if it has to do with any injury he sustained or what it is." Kinn said frantically.

"We'll do some tests and see what's going on with him. You can go and wait by the waiting area."

Kinn nodded and sighed as he went to sit on the couch outside of the unit. Kim, Porsche, and Porchay had followed and went to sit with Kinn.

"He'll be fine. We know Khun is a strong person." Kim said, rubbing Kinn's back.

"I know but everything is happening so suddenly and it's just a little weird considering the fact that Papa is planning something it's throwing me off." Kinn sighed.

"Do you think he has something to do with Tahnkun fainting?" Porsche asked.

"I'm not sure. I don't know if he would go as far as hurting his children." Kinn said putting his head in the palms of his hands.

"He would, Kinn. Did he not beat you when we were kids for some stupid reason?" Kim said blankly.

"No? Wait are you saying he used to beat you?" Kinn jumped off the couch.

"Wait you never got beat?" Kim said as Kinn's words sunk down into his mind.

"No, he never beat me or Tahnkun. Kim, how old were you?" Kinn asked.

"Wait...so he never hurt you guys? Then why me?" Kim said blankly as the words settled with a heavy pain on his heart.

"No Kim." Kinn looked sadly at his brother.

"He used to beat for as long as I could remember until I moved out. He beat me when he didn't get his way or I told I didn't want to do any of this mafia shit."

"Oh my god Kim, why didn't you tell us?"

"Because he made Chan watch over me and make sure I never told anyone." Kim pressed his palms into his eyes.

"Kim, you endured a lot. You don't have to hold back anything you're feeling anymore." Kinn sat back down on the couch and hugged Kim.

"It's whatever. Let's go back to what we were talking about before. Did Papa touch Tahnkun when we were in his office?" Kim asked.

"I think he touched his shoulder." Kinn replied, letting Kim out of the embrace.

"We'll wait to see what the doctor says and then we might be able to figure it out. He might've put something on his clothing that could've made him faint." Kim sighed.

The doctor came out and bowed to greet the men in front of him.

"We've figured that he had inhaled a drug. It's very faint in his system but it was just enough to make him lose consciousness. He'll be fine but just keep an eye on him. Do you know how he could've gotten drugged?"

"We might have a hint but I don't know. Is he awake yet?" Kinn answered.

"He hasn't gained consciousness yet. We are working on trying to make sure the drugs don't affect any parts of his body through the blood flow. He might not be up until the morning. You all should rest, it's getting quite late and we need to have the janitors clean the area while we attend to Tahnkun." The doctor said.

"Yes, doctor. Thank you so much." Kinn bowed to show his appreciation. "Come on guys, let's go."

The four had walked back towards where the bedrooms are, Porsche going to Kinn's room and Kim going to Porchay's.

"Kim, don't you think that it was a bit odd for the doctor to urge us away?" Porchay asked as he settled next to Kim on the bed.

"I one hundred percent do. The thing is that Kinn's mind is a mess right now. He's not thinking straight." Kim said.

"Should we go back and check on P'Tahnkun? I have an uneasy feeling about this."

"We should. I don't think he's safe either. Come on let's go. We have to be very quiet though." Kim said as he and Porchay got off the bed.

The two boys exited the room quietly and had walked down towards the medical unit. The halls were completely quiet until they heard Korn and the doctor talking.

"I need you to poison my son." Korn said.

Kim and Chay looked at each other, terrified, before hiding in a corner where they can still here the conversation. Kim took Porchay's phone and started recording.

"But sir, that's very dangerous. There's a risk that he could die. How would masters Kinn and Kim feel?" The doctor tried to argue.

"That's the point. I only need Kinn alive for this job. He needs to be the heir. Tahnkun is mentally crazy it's okay if he's out of the picture, it would be a favor for everyone. We'll figure out what to do with Kim soon. Maybe I'll keep him around just so Porsche won't go crazy when he sees how badly Porchay would be hurt. For now, I need you to inject poison into Tahnkun to see how he reacts to it. Tell Kinn and Kim that he slipped into a coma if he doesn't wake up." Korn walked away before the doctor could protest any more.

Kim and Chay looked at each other once again, much more terrified and disgusted than before. They quickly but quietly got up and ran back to the room.

"No no no no no...this can't be happening. I knew Papa was crazy but not crazy enough to want to kill his children. We need to go tell Kinn and Porsche." Kim panicked.

Porchay grabbed Kim's hand.

"We will go tell them but you need to calm down first before you freak out in front of them. It's okay. We'll tell Hia and Kinn and we'll figure it all out." Porchay calmly spoke.

"Chay, I love you but how are you so calm right now?" Kim asked confused.

"I'm really not but we can't both be freaking out at the same time. Let's go and tell our brothers what we heard and show them the recording." Porchay said.

The two of them walked down the hall to Kinn's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Kinn shouted from the inside.

"Kinn, Porsche, you have to hear what Papa was saying to the doctor." Kim said, still panicked but not as much as before.

"What?" Porsche and Kinn asked together as Porchay pulled up the video on his phone.

Porsche and Kinn looked stunned as they watched the video.

"He wants to kill Khun because he thinks that it would be better?" Kinn said, bewildered by the words his father spoke in the recording.

"Yes Kinn. He doesn't care about me or Khun. He only cares about you." Kim said sadly.

"I...I don't understand. Why is he doing this." Kinn's voice cracked as tears fell down his face.

"Kinn..." Porsche was speechless.

All he could do was take Kinn into his arms as he cried. Then, there was a knock on the door. Kim walked to go answer it.

"Kim, Porchay, boss has required for you two to see him now." Chan said, looking down guiltily as the boy in front of him.

"Chay, come." Kim said as he took a deep breath.

The boys walked out of the room, hand in hand, following Chan to Korn's office. Once they arrived they were directed to sit down immediately.

"Don't think I didn't see you two eavesdropping on my conversation with the doctor." Korn said intimindatedly.

Kim and Chay stood silent and looked at each other with an 'oh shit' look.

Chapter Text

"You two do realize what you've done, yes?" Korn said.

The two boys still remained silent.

"You've ruined my plans. Now Kinn and Porsche know as well. Tahnkun is already gone."

"What?" Kim said quietly.

"Your brother's gone. I had to poison him myself. If you tell any other person about this, both of you will be dead. To Kinn and Porsche, Tahnkun is here and alive he just needs some bed rest and he still hasn't woken up."

"You're crazy, Papa." Kim said, trying to hold back his anger.

"I'm not crazy, Kim. Tahnkun is gone because he's mentally insane. Kinn is the only one who can manage to be the heir in this business and you Kim, you were a mistake. Your mother and I didn't mean to have you and because of you she died." Korn slammed his hands on the table making Porchay jump.

"How was it my fault she died? I was six, it can't be my fault." Kim argued.

"You always distracted her. She got shot because she was worrying too much about you."

"It's my fault because she was being an actual mother to me?" Kim shot at his father.

"No it's your fault because you were a mistake." Korn shot back.

"You're a sick and crazily twisted bastard." Kim said, his emotions being held together by a thread.

"You wanna see a crazy and sick bastard?" Korn laughed as he got out of his seat and pointed his gun at Porchay.

"Please don't shoot me." Porchay pleaded in a small voice that Kim has never heard before.

"Don't shoot him please!" Kim yelled and pleaded.

"I'll let him live. Don't forget what I said. You're both dismissed." Korn said coldly.

Kim and Porchay hurridly got out of the office and went back to Porchay's bedroom.

"Porchay.." Kim started to cry.

"Kim.." Porchay said with his voice cracking.

"Chay I love you so much. I can't imagine how my life would be if you were taken out of it. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's my fault you almost got killed." Kim sobbed as he took Porchay into a tight embrace.

"I love you too Kim. It's not your fault. Like you said he's a crazy and sick bastard. I would never blame you for that happening. Also don't believe him when he said that you're a mistake because you'll always be special and important to me. You're a blessing that came into my life." Porchay cried as he spoke.

"Chay, Tahnkun's gone. What are we supposed to do now?" Kim sobbed quite loudly.

"I...I don't know. All we can do right now is grieve between us. We can't risk someone being killed because we tell Kinn and Hia."

"I'm scared, Chay. I haven't been scared like this since I was a kid. What's happening to me." Kim said as he pushed his palms into his eyes.

"Kim, you have a lot of emotional and physical trauma. You held back your emotions for too long. A person can only handle so much until they break." Chay sat Kim on the bed and rubbed circles on his back.

"I don't want to have emotions like this. They just show how weak you can be." Kim kept wiping his eyes but tears kept pouring.

"No, it shows that you are still a human. Humans have feelings."

"Chay, I can't do this. With the possible threat of you dying and now Tahnkun's gone...Why is this happening." Kim choked.

"What a minute, Kim. He said Tahnkun is gone..." Porchay to gather his thoughts. "What if he's not dead but your father had taken him and hid him somewhere?"

"Oh my god why didn't I pay attention to that? You could be right and all we have to do is hope that you are. I love you so much Chay." Kim hugged Porchay again.

"I love you too, Kim. Let's go to bed, okay? You look really tired now." Porchay returned the hug and broke it after a few moments.

Kim nodded and the two of them decided to settle into the bed without changing their clothes. They shared a quick and gentle kiss before snuggling into eachother.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Porsche, do you know if Kim and Porchay are alright? Papa called them an hour ago now and they didn't come back here." Kinn was worried, a lot.

"I'm sure they decided to go to bed. We can check on them in the morning, it's really late and you especially need rest. Go to sleep." Porsche said as he turned off the lamp on the bedside table next to him.

"I trust you enough Porsche. We're going to see them first thing when we wake up." Kinn kissed Porsche's forehead.

"We will, now go to sleep. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

-----------------------------------------------------

"Porsche wake up." Kinn shook Porsche in efforts of waking him up.

"Huh?" Porsche muttered.

"Come on, we need to go check on our brothers remember?"

"Right." Porsche got up and off the bed.

The two of them left their bedroom and went to find their brothers. They knocked on the door to Porchay's room.

"Come in." Porchay's voice was faint behind the door.

Porsche and Kinn walked into the room and saw that Kim was still asleep.

"Hey, are you two okay?" Kinn asked.

"Yes. Your father caught us when we had recorded that video so he took us himself to see Tahnkun since we knew what he was up to. He stopped the doctor from poisoning him and he's still alive but he's in a coma so they took him into a room but I'm not sure where. The doctors are looking after him." Porchay lied.

"But he's alright, right?" Porsche asked.

"Yes. He's fine."

Porsche and Kinn shared a glance at each other.

"Porchay are you lying?" Porsche asked.

"No?" Porchay acted confused.

"Are you sure?" Kinn asked.

"Why would I be lying about this?"

"Chay, we both know something bad happened last night. You don't have to lie to us about it." Porsche tried to reason with his brother.

"Nothing happened Hia."

"Chay." Porsche looked expectantly.

"Hm?" Porchay hummed in response.

"What are you hiding from us?" Porsche sighed.

"Nothing. I told you what I know. Me and Kim went to sleep right after.

"Why are there tear marks on Kim's face?" Kinn said worriedly as he approached his brother sleeping on the bed.

"What?" Porchay asked confused before looking down at Kim's face.

"You didn't realize he was crying?" Kinn asked.

"No. He must've been crying while I was sleeping. I don't remember him crying." Porchay lied.

"Porchay, do you and Kim know something we don't?" Kinn asked sternly.

"N-no. Everything is fine." Porchay slightly tensed.

"That's what it's about, huh?" Kinn sighed. "What happened Porchay?"

"Nothing happened, I promise." Porchay tried to persuade the two older males in front of him.

"Chay, why won't you tell us what really happened? Did somebody threaten you?" Porsche asked.

Porchay tensed up as he remembered the events from the previous night.

"No..no..every..thing is fine. Nothings...wrong." Porchay said slowly, holding his head in his hands.

"Porchay? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Porsche hurried to his brother on his side of the bed.

"I..I'm fine. I'm okay." Porchay sighed.

"Porchay, please don't lie to me, I'm your Hia, remember?" Porsche put a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Hia." Porchay muttered quietly.

"Chay?"

"I'm sorry but I told you everything I could. Just please keep me and Kim safe." Porchay said as tears started pouring out of his eyes.

Kinn and Porsche looked at each other with fearful glances.

Chapter Text

"Porchay, we'll always keep you two safe but you need to tell us what happened." Kinn said gently.

"I said more than I was supposed to already. He's going to kill us." Porchay continued to cry.

"Who Chay? Who threatened you?" Porsche asked as softly as he could.

"Korn." Porchay mumbled quietly.

"What." Porsche said.

"Wait, who?" Kinn asked.

'Your father, Kinn." Porsche said, now angered.

"Don't do anything, please." Porchay sobbed. "If you tell him anything he'll know I told you and he'll hurt me and Kim."

"He's not going to do anything to you two. Porsche, I know what I have to do." Kinn said.

"What?" Porsche asked, confused.

"I need to kill Papa. Nothing's ever going to be okay until he's dead."

"I support you on that." Porsche chuckled. "But when are you going to do that?"

"Right now. He had no right to threaten my brother or yours. If he wants to kill them I'll kill him first." Kinn stood up straight, a menacing look gleaming in his eyes.

"Kinn, be careful. I think you should think it through. Yes, your father needs to be out of the picture but, Vegas and Pete move in today."

"So? I can kill him and they move in after. I'm going to kill him." Kinn said before walking out of the room without giving Porsche a chance to respond.

"Are we going to be safe?" Porchay asked.

"I hope so. I just hope Kinn knows what he's doing. You should wake up Kim." Porsche said, moving away from the bed.

"Right." Porchay muttered as he started to shake Kim awake. "Kim, wake up. Kim."

"Hm?" Kim hummed as he stretched.

"Kinn is going to kill your father." Porsche said.

"What? Are you serious?" Kim was stunned.

"He just left the room and Kim, I told them about how he said he would kill us." Porchay said.

"I hope he knows what he's doing." Kim sighed.

---------------------------------------------

"Papa?" Kinn said as he entered Korn's office.

"Yes, Kinn?" Korn replied as he turned to face his son.

"I'm sorry." Kinn blankly said.

"For what?" Korn asked confused.

"For this." Kinn quickly held up his gun and shot Korn in the head three times.

"Kinn." Chan said blankly but Kinn knew he was mortified.

"You're free, Chan." Kinn said.

"Thank you, sir." Chan bowed.

"Where is Tahnkun?" Kinn ask, looking at Chan.

"Follow me." Chan said.

Kinn followed Chan down the hall into the room where Tahnkun was held.

"Kinn!" Tahnkun cried the moment he saw his brother.

"Oh my god, Khun. Are you okay?" Kinn rushed to his brother sitting on the ground.

"I think so. Papa put me in here and never explained why."

"Khun, Papa's dead now."

"What?"

"I had to kill him. Nothing good was going to happen to us as long as he was alive. "

"Thank you, Kinn. We're finally free."

"Let's get you out of here. Where would you like to go?"

"Lets go see Kimmy and them."

Kinn nodded as he helped Tahnkun get off the floor. The two of the walked to Porchay's room as quickly as possible.

"I got him!" Kinn shouted happily as he entered the room with Tahnkun.

"Khun!" Kim yelled as he ran to hug his eldest brother.

"We're finally free, Kim. Papa's dead." Tahnkun returned the hug.

"We have a lot to unpack here mentally. Let's catch Tahnkun up to speed." Kinn said as he watched his brothers separate from their hug.

The five of them conversed as they told everything that happened since Tahnkun fainted the night before.

"Hold on, Papa used to abuse you without me or Kinn knowing? And he wanted to kill me?" Tahnkun was overly shocked by the information he just recieved.

"Yes, Khun. We didn't get to what he told me and Chay last night and what he did." Kim responded.

"Oh yeah, you never told me or Kinn what happened last night either." Porsche said.

"Right. So he caught me and Chay listening to him saying he wanted to kill Khun and he took us to his office. He said that Khun was gone and how I was a mistake and the reason Mama died. I called him a crazy and sick bastard and he pointed his gun at Chay and we begged him not to shoot." Kim paused for a brief second as he took Porchay's hand into his. "Thank God he didn't shoot but he threatened us saying if we told Kinn or Porsche then we would be dead."

"At least he's gone now. Obviously we are still going to have to deal with all of the businesses he put up but right now, we all have each other and that's what matters." Tahnkun smiled.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Porchay said.

"Khun Vegas and Khun Pete have arrived." A bodyguard bowed.

"Lets go, I wanna see Pete!" Tahnkun said excitedly.

The group left the room and went to the main entrance to greet Vegas and Pete.

"PETE!" Tahnkun shouted as he ran up to him, giving him a bear hug.

"Hi." Pete chuckled as he returned the hug.

"Lets get you settled in. I'm so happy you're back!" Tahnkun said, overly excited.

"I'm happy I'm back too. By the way, how are you feeling after what happened?" Pete asked with concern.

"It's a long story. We'll explain after you guys get your stuff moved in. Where's Macau?" Kinn added in.

"Macau's by the car outside so he can haul in his stuff." Vegas said.

---------------------------------------------

Vegas, Pete, and Macau had settled everything and packed everything away. They all sat down in a lounging area.

"So, what's happened since yesterday? Where's Uncle Korn?" Vegas asked.

"Kinn killed Pa this morning." Tahnkun said.

"Deadass?" Pete spoke up.

"He did too much and he was only going to continue to do too much. Someone had to end his life." Kinn shrugged.

"Seriously, what happened last night?" Vegas asked again.

"So Khun fainted and we took him to the medical wing but the doctor ushered us away so we left. Kim and Chay went back to the wing because they were skeptical and they caught Pa saying how he wants Khun to be poisoned and was considering killing Kim. Kim and Chay came to tell me and Porsche but apparently Pa knew they heard what he said and they got called to his office. Pa pointed his gun at Chay when Kim called him crazy. When Porchay told us the story this morning, I went to kill Pa." Kinn explained.

"What the fuck." Vegas said bewildered.

"He was considering killing his own children?" Pete asked, shocked.

"I think he always thought about that after mama died." Kim said, sadly.

"Kim, did you tell them about," Vegas waved his hand. "Well, y'know?"

"Yeah. I had to cause I was telling Kinn about how far Papa would go to harm us." Kim quietly said.

"Vegas already knew Papa abused you?" Kinn quickly asked, a little jealous his cousin knew something about his brother that he didn't before him.

"He wasn't supposed to. He walked in when Papa was hitting me." Kim said back.

"That's true. I walked away but I asked him what happened after and he just ignored me. I wasn't supposed to know." Vegas defended.

"Wait, he hurt you constantly?" Pete turned to Kim, horrified.

"Basically." Kim shrugged. "He only cared about Kinn. He wanted to kill Khun. He hid him in a room."

"Listen guys, a lot has happened in the last twenty-four hours but we are still here together and that's all that matters. Lets stop talking about this and just live, y'know? There's things that we all probably will need therapy for but from now on, it's just us." Tahnkun smiled.

An end to a chapter and a new beginning. Goodnight.
