[Raw]

*GEMINI*

"Hello Sir. This is Lynette speaking."

"I want to make some changes with the schedule and events for the company's anniversary party. "

" If that's the case then I can perhaps make some arrangements in the program flow sir. What is it? "

" Remove me from the program itself and have my mom as a replacement. Then on the menu, cross out the strawberry cakes. Our client could no longer produce the needed counts due to the ongoing scarcity with the supply of strawberries. I'll have it change to blueberry moist cake instead. "

" These are noted Sir. Anything to add? "

" That would be it Nette. Thanks. "

" Alright, I'll have these relayed to the hosting committee before we send the invites by thursday. "

" Got it. Send me the status in an hour. Bye. "

Alright. Everything is settled. I can now attend my children's birthday party. I called mom already about my plans and she almost nagged at me till noon becuase she wanted to go to her grandson's birthday too but she can't because she will be attending at the company's party on my behalf. I did consoled her by saying that I will bring Fourth and the kids this coming weekend, then it could've been a tight argument. She really missed being around kids that much.

Speaking of Fourth, I've been hitting on him in every chance that I've got but it seems like nothing is working. I haven't had any progress at all. If before, I am still in doubt if he is my mate, now I'm pretty much sure of it.

The 2nd time he had his heat while I'm with him is where I confirmed it. I tried to hook up with some betas and omegas at the bar I'm regular with after that event in the hospital but to my dismay, no matter how I tried, I am no longer attracted to their pheromones. It's like a pungent odor. However with Fourth, just a single sniff of that delightful scent is enough for me to go haywire.

"Heyy...psst Gem?...EARTH TO GEMIYAKKI!!!"

"What? Wait.. how long have you been here? "

It's Aun. The bastard shouted right in front of my face.

"I've been here for around five minutes now. Calling your name repeatedly but you're just sitting there as if I'm a wind. You're whipped man. Let me guess, thinking about your beautiful omega again right?"

"Tss.. none of your business. Now what makes the visit? Make sure that it's worth my time or you'll regret calling me with that fucking nickname."

Aun just rolled his eyes with my response.

"Tss grumpy as always. To give you this. Happy?" Aun then placed two small caskets infront of me while grinning widely. That made me on smiles while staring at the two boxes in front of me.

" Shit... Its done already? I thought it would be like three to four months?"

"Tss.. don't underestimate my lovely omega. He is not called the best jeweler in town for nothing."

" Then tell Prom my thanks. "

" Oh no Mister CEO. We don't need your thanks. We want your cash. "

" Shut up. I sent it in advance. "

" Haha alright. Anyway, you are this serious in that omega of yours now but what if in the end, you discovered that you two are not fated pairs? What if you are already in a relationship and he finds his alpha? " Aun asked in worry as he sits on my desk.

That made me grit my teeth in enrage. Even though I know to myself that Fourth is my omega, just the mere thought of him with somebody else makes me see blood. What mine is mine.

(Imagine him looking like this)

"Then I will kill him before they could even catch a glimpse of each another." I said with the deadliest stare I could ever muster. Making Aun to shake his head in disbelief as he pats my shoulders.

" Damn hold your chill man. I'm surprised that you are at this level already. Poor Fourth. "

" Tss coming from someone who's barking every time Prom is with his Alpha friends huh? "

" Hey! "

" Tss just get out. I need to finish my work and you're slowing me down. "

" What the - Aish..You ungrateful brat. Okay bye. "

When Aun is no more, I opened each of the boxes. These are the rings that I had customized to our birth sign. Gemini and Libra. Soon, these will be in both of our fingers Fourth. Soon enough.

I smiled as I imagine it happening. Oii Ai'Fourth! What the hell did you just do to me? Huh? You better take responsibility of this.

Pshh... But first I need to finish all this stuff on my desk before dawn. I close each of the caskets and hide them in the drawer and resume my work. I got a lot on my plate lately since I stayed in the hospital for few days.

It took me three hours before I finish reviewing and signing the necessary documents and proposals on my desk. Its almost quarter to twelve already and I have a meeting in 40 minutes.

Well, better make myself ready. I walk into my mini walk-in closet in the office and look from my stash of suits to wear. I'm just on my casual today and I need to switch for the meeting with the board later.

I choose a red suit, a black polo for the insides and red pants as well. I style my hair a bit on a backward sleek and sprayed a small amount of perfume.

I look at my wristwatch and I still have 25 minutes or so before the board meeting starts so I grab a glass of red wine first to calm my nerves up before I go back to my desk.

However, I almost spit all the liquor in my mouth when someone greeted me out of nowhere.

"Hello Pa."

"Little Einstein? What are you doing here?"

Err what is my son doing in my office and who let him in?

" Oh here you are sir. I let little khun noo inside while waiting for you. " Satang said with only his head showing in the slightly opened door. Tss..I should've known. "There's your daddy big boy. "

"Thanks Uncle Sangty." My boy replied while doing a hand salute in which my PA answered with the same gesture.

"No problem." Satang coed before bidding himself goodbye.

I lay the glass of wine on my desk first before I proceed on calling my son to come near me.

"What's the matter big boy? Why did you place Daddy a visit? Hmm?" I said as I grab Shaun to sit on my lap. Stroking his hair before I sniffed a kiss on his cheeks. My son is indeed a big boy now. He's almost as tall as my chest.

"Pa.. stop it. I'm already a grown up. Tss.. you're the same with Paps." My little alpha grumpily replied as he stares at me with his cute angry eyes. Damn, he really looks like Fourth when he does that.

"Okay.. okay. Daddy is sorry. Now what can I do for my little Einstein? Hmm? You're still in your uniform. Did you cut classes just to get in here?"

" Mai chai!! We don't have class anymore since there will be a Parent-Teachers assembly this afternoon Pa. I think Paps lined us earlier that he's on his way to school now. "

Oh yeah the new school director told me that earlier. How could I eveb forget?

"Then where are your brothers?"

"They're busy. Awin is practicing soccer because they have an upcoming interschool match with St. Gabriel college while Araun is in the music club trying to furnish the song that they will be using for the Hotwave. So I went here since we have a lot to talk about anyway. " My son casually said as he fixed his eyeglasses.

"I would like that too big boy but Daddy has a meeting with the board in 10 minutes. How about we move the talk during lunch? Just give dad around an hour or so. How's that sound?"

My son was hesitant at first but what he said next really suprised me.

" Pa.. would you mind if I join you instead? "

" The board meeting? "

" Y-yes. I've been reading articles about you and your airlines lately and I'm interested in such stuff. So may I observe? I'll behave. I promise!!"

" Well if you insist why not? Come. All of this will be passed on to you three anyway." I said as I pick him up.

" Pa!! You don't need to carry me. I'm not a kid anymore. "

" Then, I will not let you attend if you'll refuse me of carrying you. Let Daddy for now please. I haven't had any chance to this when my little Einstein is still a baby. Hmm? "

My son did not answer at first but he hid his face on the crook of my neck instead with a few nodding movement. That gives me a hint that he approves. Fourth was right, Shaun is indeed the affectionate one among my triplets.

"Okay."

" Good boy. " I continued while stroking his hair.

Satang was even dumbfounded when he sees us coming out of my suite in this position.

" Kindly get my stuff in the office please. "

" Right away sir. See you at the board room. "

I just nod at Satang before I continue my stride towards the conference office. Most of my employees that I came across with had the same reaction with my PA too. Well who wouldn't be if they are seeing their boss carrying a teenage boy at the lobby of my own building right?

"I told you Pa. This is so embarrassing." My son whispered shyly as he look at me.

" Let them be. They can't tell anything to their boss. Do they? "

Shaun just shakes his head with my reply before he rest his head on my shoulder again.

The members if the board are almost complete when we arrived. All of them are eyeing our direction. Specifically to my son who's still hiding his face on the crook of my neck.

"Good afternoon everyone. Is everything ready?" I said referring to the presentation wherein all of my department managers answered with a yes.

"Good. Before we proceed, I would like to inform everyone that a family member will be observing our meeting today." I continued while putting my son down. He then hesitantly faced my department managers and stockholders. However, all of the sudden, Shaun's face changed from timid into a serious and intimidating one.

"My name is Shaun Jirochtikul. Nice meeting you all." Shaun said with confidence as he bows down without averting his eyes from everyone.

"Here. Take your seat Khun noo. This meeting will be long." My PA Satang whispered while offering a chair for my son to sit on.

Suddenly, the board room was filled with buzzing sounds as they started whispering to one another if who was Shaun and why is he here. Some are saying he might be my nephew while others are saying that he might be my sibling. An eligitimate child and that I cannot allow but my son stopped me from losing my temper.

I never noticed that I released my pheromone making everyone in silence as they stared at me in fear. If its not for my son, everyone could have been unconscious by now.

"Thank you little Einstein."I mouthed my thanks as I pat Shaun's hair.

My son replied in a whisper saying 'don't worry, I'm okay. '

I'm already out of the mood the entire discussion of the meeting's agenda which is mostly sales report and upcoming projects. Even my employee's could no longer speak normally while presenting this month's drastic increase in profit in airlines becuase of the consecutive concerts and fanmeetings of artists from all over the world which was held here for almost 4 months now.

"Pa.. are you still mad about what happened earlier? I said that I am fine several times already. " Shaun as he tries to catch my attention by waving his hand in front of my face.

"To be honest, yes I am. You're my boy. You and your brothers do not deserve to be treated just like earlier. No one from the Titicharoenraks should be treated that way. Understand?" I said firmly as I gestured my hand to the waitress that we are ready to place our order.

"Its okay. They dont any idea so we cant blame them. Do we?" My son replied while scrolling some messages on his phone.

We are currently in a restaurant, five blocks away from my office since I will treat my son for lunch as promised.

The waitress instantly approached us with the menu in her hand and a post it note to take our order. By looking at her, I know that she is an omega.

"May I take your order Sir?" She seductively said while tucking some strands of hair on her left ear.

If it's just some other time, this omega is already moaning underneath me on my bed but now, I don't even give a damn care about her anymore. She's even releasing some of her pheromones to attract me but I only find it pungent to my senses.

"Miss are you ready to take note of our order or you'll just continue to stare at my father all day? " My son snapped at the woman with knitted forehead. By the looks of it, he doesn't like what he sees.

"M-my apologies s-ir. Of course." The waitress stuttered in embarrassment after my son scolded her.

I almost laughed in my seat because of that but even I was not safe from my son's death glare. It's as if it was Fourth whos glaring at me so instead of waiting for my funeral, I started ordering the food for us. I could even see Satang secretly laughing beside me so he received the same glare from me.

"Okay. What do you want to talk about little Einstein?" I said right after the waitress left to take care of our food. Satang excused himself too. He knows that I need this moment with my son alone so he just lied to him that he will go to the bathroom but the truth is, he's going home to meet his omega.

"Its about Paps of course. Are you really serious of what you'd said before?" My son's mood instantly change into the same expression as he had shown earlier in the conference room.

It made me do the same too. This is it. A serious talk. Alpha to alpha.

"Yes I am. Your papa Fourth is my fated pair so I'm certainly genuine with my intention towards my omega." I answered without breaking any eye contact.

My little Einstein is referring to our little talk at the hospital that day when I almost mark Fourth without his consent.

*FLASHBACK*

" I already induced your omega with suppressant Mr Titicharoenrak. Any minute now he will regain consciousness. Just let him rest for a while. His heat took a lot from him. Make sure to have him eat something nutritious when he wakes up. The suppressant I used is quite strong and one of its cons is he will be very hungry once the effect subsides." Doctor Tinnaphob coed while giving me a pat on my shoulder. Fourth is currently lying at the extra bed beside my son. Breathing heavily as his brows scrunch up due to discomfort. The medication might be doing its work now to subdue the sysmptoms of his heat. His pheromones are currently subsiding. I can hardly smell it.

"I surely remember that. Thanks Doc. " I replied as we shook hands.

Right after Doc Tinn take his leave, my son Shaun sits up on his hospital bed. Looking at me like an angry cub.

" Explain. "

"I know its not the right time yet but yeah. I am your dad."

"How come? I thought you don't have any idea about us?"

"That is true. At first, I didn't know that I have a son all these years. Not just one but a triplet. If not for your grandma who accidentally broke your Papa's camera, I would still be ignorant about you three. "

" When did you know about us and Paps? "

" The first time I met you three at Harrow. Remember when we brought Raiwin at the infirmary?" Shaun nods to say that he recalled what I'm referring to. " For your paps, well we didn't have a good start actually and as much as I want to tell you all in detail, I think it would be better if Fourth and I will do it once you three are together."

I said as I stared at the sleeping Fourth beside us. He looks so cute right now while facing sideways. Muffled in a white linen like a spring roll wrapper.

( How could he be this cute and handsome while sleeping?  😭. Anyway Pic is not mine. ctto)

"If you are referring to that night, no worries. We knew it already." My son confessed that shocked the hell out of me.

"Y-you mean..."

"Yup Pap's never hide anything from us. Even that ungrateful night that he hated the most. That is why my brothers and I sweared that we will protect Papa at all cost. We will be his Alpha against the world. "

" Then why didn't you react against me when you came across that incident in the bathroom earlier? "

Shaun was in silence for several minutes.

" I was about to, actually, but things happened so fast. You know, Papa's heat and me knowing that you are actually our dad took a troll out of me. Saving Papa became my first.priority. "

" Well..then, what do you say? "

" About what? "

" Me being your Dad. You said that you and your brothers want a complete family. Now that you know me, do you still want that to happen?"

" Well, do you want us to be your son Phi? "

" Of course! My boy. " I'm already feeling ecstatic at this moment.

" Then can I call you Pa? "

I was not able to answer my little Einstein. I just grabbed him in a tight embrace instead.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Then what are our plans? When should we tell Awin and Araun Pa? I always feel guilty every time I talk to them you know. " Said by my little Einstein which brought me back to my senses.

"Your Paps and I planned to tell you all on your birthday actually but then that thing happened in the hospital." I replied.

" I see. How about Paps. How's the courtship? "

" Well, I would like to properly declare it in front of you three. On a candle lit dinner perhaps? Oh and don't forget the flowers and the ring." I said unsure if my plan is okay. I never court someone in my life. In my previous encounters, they are the one throwing theirselves at me.

"Seriously? Pa that's very much cliché. Its pretty boring and so common. Besides, Papa's other suitors already did that to him."

"Wait what? He had someone before? Tell me?" I asked a little bit louder but the hell I care. Fourth had someone before me and worst... what if he had mated with other Alphas already?

" Relax Pa. He had not engaged in any relationship thanks to us. So you should be grateful to me, Awin and Shaun. We were able to protect Paps for you." My son as he smugly beat his chest like a gorilla and flex his biceps afterwards. Showing how proud he was of what they did.

That made me smile. I remembered myself when I was their age.

"That's my boys." I replied with a wink which made us laugh together.

My son was about to say something but was stopped when our order  arrived. It's the same waitress who brought it but this time, she acted even bolder than before like intentionally brushing her fingers on my hands everytime she serves our meal. She even starts excreting her pheromones that smell like overripe lemons. Thinking that it would arouse me but its actually doing the opposite. Maybe she is just wanting to get laid or she's thinking that I am the answer for her to get out of poverty. I'd met a lot like her so it's nothing new.

My son noticed it too and he even covered his nose because of it.

That made me furious to the extent that my eyes turned black in an instant. I mouthed my son to cover his ears in which he did right away.

Then I angrily snapped at her which made the omega waitress get startled.

"Stop releasing your pheromones. I don't have any interest in you. Honestly, it smells like a rotten lemon to me because I'm already mated so fuck off. Don't make me lose my temper or you'll never witness the sunrise again. "

I'm so frustrated at her becuase of the pungent scent of her pheromones. It suffocates me.

The waitress nods vigorously as she retreat with fear in her eyes. She even beg for forgiveness while walking away.

"Now where were we?" I casually said to my son as he slowly removed his fingers that he used to cover his ears

We continued our talk after that and our entire mealtime was filled with grins and chuckles as we try to formulate a plan on how to surprise their papa instead on their birthday and all I can say is that, this would be the best date there ever was.
