SIX

I WAS startled when I heard a knock. I instantly looked at to Khun Vegas, who's sleeping in the hospital bed.

"Come in." I said.

"P' Pete... How's Khun Vegas?"

I looked at him, "He's already fine. The doctor said that his wound was not really deep."

"That's good to hear. By the way, I brought some food, P'Pete." He said and placed the paper bag in the table.

"Thank you, Leo."

"The main family will be here, Phi. P'Chan called me earlier." Leo said.

Oh god. Maybe Khun Korn will replace me as a bodyguard of Khun Vegas.

I nodded at him, "It was my fault." I said,  guiltiness was visible in my voice.

"If I was just more alert...it will not happen to Khun Vegas.."

Leo tapped my shoulder, "P'Pete, it's not your fault."

"You know what, you should eat first. It's already 7 o' clock in the morning. Go, eat that food, Phi." He said and gently pushed me in the side table.

I sat on the couch and ate what Leo brought.

Thank god. It was a rice meal that's why I feel energised.

After I ate, the door opened and it revealed P'Chan. Leo and I immediately stood up as Khun Korn entered the room.

"Khun Korn.." I bowed my head, avoiding his gaze because I'm guilty of what happened to Khun Vegas.

"How's Vegas?" He asked as he scanned the sleeping Vegas.

"He's already fine, Khun Korn. The doctor said that he can be discharge once he wake up." I answered him.

"Did you see the people who did this?"

Leo and I both shook our head, "We don't, Khun Korn. They are wearing helmets."

Khun Korn nodded, "Are you having a hard time, Pete?" He said, "Should I send Arm or Pol here?"

I looked at him, embarrassed, because I knew that I didn't do my best protecting Khun Vegas.

"I'm sorry, Khun Korn. It's my fault.." I said.

"You can go home with us, I will just send Ar--" He didn't finished what he was saying..

"P-pete will be staying h-here, U-uncle.." I was staggered when I heard Khun Vegas' voice.

"Vegas, maybe Pete is not suitable for this job that's why I am sending him back to our household." Khun Korn said.

"No, he's staying with me, Uncle. I'm fine, it's just a little scratch." Khun Vegas said and looked at me as if he was asking me if I am okay.

What the hell are you doing this, Khun  Vegas?

"If that's what you want, Vegas." Khun Korn said and gazed at me, "Let's talk outside, Pete." He said and went out.

I glanced at Khun Vegas, "I'm just going to talk to Khun Korn, Khun Vegas." I said to him, asking his permission.

"Just come back here again.." He weakly said. I just nodded at him and went out.

"Khun Korn.." I addressed him.

"Do you want to continue this job or you want me to replace you, Pete?" He asked me.

I looked at him, "Sorry, Khun Korn. I know that I've disappointed you, but please, give me another chance, Khun Korn." I plead.

He nodded at me, "Yes, Pete. But please, don't let this happen again. I promise Kan that I will protect his sons. Make sure that you do your job efficiently."

"Yes, Khun Korn. I will never let this happen again." I promised.

He tapped my shoulder, "Alright, we'll go ahead." He bid his goodbye. I bowed my head and uttered my goodbye to them.

When Khun Korn left, I went inside in Khun Vegas' room.

I saw him drinking water, I walked near at him.

"P'Pete, I'll just go to the accounting, I will settle the bills." Leo said and left the room.

I stared at Khun Vegas, "What did you that, Khun Vegas?"

He looked at me, "I don't want you to get hurt, Pete."

What the hell, Khun Vegas!? I touched my chest because I feel that my heart is beating faster.

This is not a good. I think, I have a heart malfunction.

"Khun Vegas, that's my job. I should not let anything bad happen to you." I said to him, frustrated in what had happened.

He reached my hand and looked at me with his soft hooded eyes, "Don't worry about me. I'm okay, Pete." He said, consoling me.

"Khun Korn ordered that you should stay in your house.." I told him even though there's no ordered from Khun Korn.

"What? How about my business?"

"You will work from home.." I replied.

I smiled sheepishly, he looked like a kid who didn't get a toy that he wanted.

"Why are your face like that?" My brows knitted, "You don't want to stay at home? Why? Because you can't flirt with your flings?"

I bit my lip, I think, I've said too much hehehe

I heard him gasped and show his gummy smile, "Pete.."

"What!?" I snorted and looked away.

"Are you fucking jealous?" Shocked, I looked at him and smacked his head.

The fuck!? Jealous? Me?

"Ouch! What the hell, Pete?" He shouted while touching his head.

"You deserved it." I said and left his room, because I feel that my cheeks is burning.

What the hell are you doing to me, Khun Vegas?

"LEO, PLEASE get Khun Vegas things. Thank you." I commanded.

"Yes, Phi."

I assisted Khun Vegas to go out in the car, "Careful, Khun Vegas.."

"You can walk?" I asked him.

He glared at me, "Of course, what am I, disabled?"

Well, I'm just asking! Tss.

"PHI!" Khun Macau hurriedly went near to his brother, "Are you okay, Phi?"

"I'm not dead, so I am okay." Khun Vegas said sarcastically while smiling but it immediately faded because we saw Khun Macau is crying.

"I'm glad you're okay. I thought there's something bad happened to you.. I don't want to be alone, Phi.." Khun Macau said with tears flowing on his cheeks.

Khun Vegas hugged his brother as he tap Khun Macau's shoulder, "Don't worry. Phi will not die..I will not let you be alone..." He hushed his brother..

My heart ached when I saw how Khun Macau cried...He's scared to be alone because their father was already dead.

"Let's go, Phi. We already cleaned your room." Khun Macau said and guide his brother upstairs.

When I saw that the two walked upstairs, I went to the kitchen to see if there's something to eat because I'm hungry.

"Good evening, Sir." The cook greeted me and I smiled at him.

"What's the menu for the dinner?" I asked because I know just like in the main household, they have a menu for every meal.

"There's an onion soup and a roasted beef tenderloin, and a homemade chocolate mousse cake." I grimaced when I heard their menu.

"Are they on diet? Why they don't eat rice?" I asked myself and scratched my head, frustrated on what I will eat because I want to eat rice.

"Uhh. Can I have other food? I want to have a curry rice.." I shyly said.

"Oh. Sure, sir. Just wait for a while.." I smiled when he started to prepared the ingredients of my curry rice.

I pulled a chair and sat down, watching him to cut the ingredients, "Where's the dinner of Khun Vegas?" I asked him because for sure Khun Vegas will eat in his room.

"Still preparing it, but it will be done in a minutes." He answered.

I nodded and looked around while waiting for my food. The mansion's of minor family looked extravagant and luxurious but it was.. dull as if people here were not happy to be here. It's too quiet unlike in the main family..too loud because of Khun No.

I smiled when I remember Khun No... I miss my boss and friends there, Arm, Pol and Porsche. I'm certain that Porsche is looking for me hehehe. 

I snapped back in reality when the cook placed my curry rice in front of me, "Bon appetite" he said and smiled at me.

"Thank you..." I said and started eating the curry rice. As I tasted the curry, I  closed my eyes because it was too good, however, the curry rice of my grandma is still the best.

"It's so tasty.." I said, my mouth was full of rice.

The cook smiled at me and returned to prepared the dinner of Khun Vegas.

As I finished my food, Khun Macau entered the kitchen, "P'Pete, will you please bring my brother's dinner?" Khun Macau asked me. 

I drank my water and stood up, "Of course, Khun Macau."

The cook gave the food to me and I uttered my thank you before I went upstairs.

When I arrived in front of Khun Vegas' room,  memories of what happened in my first day here flashed in my mind. I gulped before knocking, "Khun Vegas?"

"Come in.."

I opened the door and saw that Khun Vegas is watching t.v, "Khun Vegas, here's your dinner. Eat first." I said as I placed the food on his side table before I assembled the bed table. When I'm done, I put his foods on the table...

"You can eat now, Khun Vegas. I will just wait you to finish eating.." I told him.

He looked at me, "You're not going to feed me?" I raised my brows at him.

Is he a disabled person? Earlier, he told me that he can handle himself. But, why is he acting like a fool kid?

"What are you looking at? My shoulder have wound." He said and scowled at me.

I nodded at him and sat on his bed, because I don't have a choice but to follow what he wants. I saw him smiled while looking at me..

"Ahh.." I motioned him to open his mouth. He opened his mouth and it was visible to his face that he was happy.

I keep feeding him until the food was finished, "Do you want the dessert?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "No. Eat it." He said and moved the dessert near at me.

I bit my lips because the cake looks really delicious. But, I stopped..

I suspiciously looked at him. Did he tell the cook to put poison here? Shia! 

"What are you waiting for? Eat now, it doesn't have a poison, Pete." He glared at me.

I took the fork and sliced the chocolate mousse, I eat it while looking at him to see if he was telling the truth.

If I die right now, I will fucking visit him to his dream until he die.

"Are you seducing me, Pete?  Because it's fucking working..." He grunted as he looked at me 

I blushed when I heard what he said. Shia, Khun Vegas is really not good in my system because I felt again the gushing of blood in my veins and cheeks. 

I continued to eat the cake until I was done, "I'm done..." I said and glanced at him.

I was shocked when he moved near at me, "Wait.." He touched my cheeks..

I stiffened because I feel his breath in my face, "You still have a chocolate on your cheeks.." He said and licked my cheeks.

What the fuck!? I quickly stay away from him, get the tray and stood up. 

I was about to go out when he called me, "Pete..." I nervously looked at him and I saw him biting his lip as if he was restraining himself to smile.

"Thanks for the dessert. It's delicious."
