Porchay is staring hard at Rain. Rain grimaces when his friend asks, "So the sex was a banger then? Is that why you went static for a whole week?" in a cynical tone that matches his face.

"To tell you the truth, I was out of my consciousness most of the time. It was an out-of-body experience, but from what I actually remembered," Rain continues with a nod with a blush, and a shy smile that gets Chay to scoff.

"Aaahh... Good to know. At least I knew it was worth making me worry to death. But, why are you escaping from prison then?"

Rain is running away. Phayu is overbearing right now, acting more like a helicopter mom rather than a boyfriend or a mate. He made his secretary run around all morning, trying to get the perfect breakfast for Rain, which he didn't ask. Then criticized what he wore and the amount of food that he ate. The breaking point was when he kept asking if Rain was alright when he was pooping.

Fuck, man! I know you destroyed my ass but no need to keep chirping happily about it.

"Why are you not in the office?" Rain counters with a question too.

"It's Saturday, Rain."

"Kim?"

Porchay shrugs.

"You don't want to know?" Rain frowns. He actually looks puzzled that Porchay doesn't care too much about Kim. It makes Porchay want to throw the glass in his hand to him. Just because he has a positive development in his relationship with Phayu, doesn't mean Porchay has to.

He is currently sitting in a rage when it comes to Kim.

In fact, Porchay doesn't know where to stand because, after that incident in Kim's office, they haven't seen each other again. That man doesn't call, doesn't text, doesn't even send a Pidgeon to tell or ask something, anything, after that incident.  Porchay be damn, but he is NOT going to be the one who reaches out first.

Besides, he needs to tidy up his nest in the dark web. Someone or something is trying to poke fun at it and is not stopping. He needs to make sure all trails don't lead to him.

If even one person finds out, good or bad, he will be a couple of steps closer to the grave than he wants to. 

He doesn't regret helping Kim and his companies. But that helpful gesture raised too many questions he didn't want to answer, he knows. Kim doesn't ask questions, yes, but Kim has his method to find out. With finances like his, it will be a matter of time only.

Maybe Kim is waiting for him to come clean himself.

Maybe. Who the fuck cares?

But... Mate or not, this is a bigger problem than romance and Porchay would like to keep it separate for as long as he can. With a mate like Kim, keeping it separate forever is not an option.

"Phi Phayu said that his boss has been busy tidying up the company's safety with your help."

Porchay gives a cynical smirk. He helped alright, but all he got was a spanking. Sure it lead to ....

Ah, better not think about it.

Kim has two very different sides, like night and day. Porchay doesn't know what to think or do about it. But he thinks he likes the night better than the day. The way that black eyes saw him that day ... It was still haunting him. Giving him unwanted goosebumps.

How could anyone be like that about him? All hot and bothered and doesn't even care to conceal it. He let the darker side of him roam free before Porchay's eyes for a while and it was fascinating for Porchay as it was the first time he had ever seen someone like that.

Porchay doesn't think that all that gentleness and tenderness that Kim gave him were lies, but he constantly restrained himself around Porchay for some reason. He doesn't give gentle and helpless omega to the world.

"Just a minor thing. Nothing big. I don't know much about technicality anyway."

The way Rain looks at him is alarming, but Porchay decides to ignore it. Thankfully but also unfortunately, Phayu knocks on the door. His figure can be seen from the glass window. "Don't let him come inside," he tells Rain who nods. He knows that Porchay is particular in whoaboutan going into his home.

After a while, Rain comes back in. "I think you should come out. Phi said, Boss Kim is asking for you."

"Boss Kim?" Porchay laughs. Rain wants to smack him. "Just call him Khun or Phi or something. Boss is too funny."

"Right," Rain forgets that Chay often disregards anything formal, viewing it as too rigid and using it only to mock or be cynical. "So, are you coming?"

Porchay tilts his head. "Tell him to get his boss to call me privately, then maybe I'll come. Saturday is my off day. I've camped on that company for three days in a row already."

Rain sighs but he goes. Porchay waits, staring at his phone. In five minutes, a call comes through. He lets it until it dies automatically. The next second, it connects again. He answers on the fifth ring.

"Yes?" He doesn't bother with hello.

It stays static for five seconds. "Do you want me to get you myself?" There is an edge to the voice that gets Porchay to smile. "Will you?"

"I'll come in twenty."

Then the call ends. Porchay smiles. This is getting interesting for him. He doesn't bother to change and when Kim does go through the door of his house, he too doesn't bother with Porchay's appearance.

He leans his body to kiss Porchay who sits on the sofa but Porchay looks to the other side, dodging it. He went silent on him and he thinks he has a right to kiss him? Yeah, think again. Porchay dodges again and again for a while.

A rough hand picks up his chin, turns his face around, and holds it still in a rougher way than his callous hand. Porchay stubbornly tries to back out, but it only takes a dark clicking of the tongue from Kim and heated scolding eyes to get him to stay still.

The kiss is gentle, but it lingers more than necessary. Then it travels to his cheeks, jawline, forehead, and nose before it comes to his lips again. Kim presses the side of his face to forcefully open Chay's mouth and inserts his tongue in. Chay tastes whiskey and cigarettes as the kiss grows deeper. A hand grabs the hair on the back of his head just as rough. Porchay can't help but moan.

Tongues rub each other in a sensual dance that gets Porchay dizzy. Maybe it's the lack of oxygen or maybe it's just the way Kim sucks the tip of his tongue to invite him inside of his cavern.

Porchay doesn't know which, but by the time Kim lets him go, it takes time to get his brain to work again.

Well, it's not a bad way to say hello.

"Come!" Kim says, reaching out for his hand to get him to stand up from the couch. Porchay looks at him angrily now. "It's the weekend. I have overtime for more than 30 hours already this week."

"It's regarding your safety."

Porchay rolls his eyes in annoyance. How safer that Kim want him to be? The guy has doubled the amount of bodyguards on him already. "I'm safe."

Now it's Kim turns to look at him in annoyance. "War will be explaining it to you."

War. He doesn't like that guy. Too pretty and calm. Not a good combination.

"Can we just do a teleconference?"

"Chay!"

"Fine!" Chay gets up and lets himself be dragged by Kim.

Not long, they are in one of the meeting rooms of Kim's building. Porchay is surprised that Phayu lets Rain be there, he is itching to say something about it.

"Ter, don't," Kim says in his most gentle voice to him. Porchay hikes his brows, but three seconds later, he asks, "Why is Rain here?" Rain looks surprised. Phayu gives him a not-subtle mimic to get him to back off, but Porchay relents. "From my understanding, this meeting is about something dangerous. He can't be here."

"It is thanks to you that he needs to be here," Phayu says, trying his best not to shout, but all words come from ground teeth.

"How is that?"

Kim takes his hand and presses it. When their eyes meet, he forces him to shut up without words. Porchay clams unwillingly. He hates his omega status in cases like this.

"War," Kim calls.

War nods and explains, "The program that Khun Kittisawasd used is from an infamous hacker who uses the pseudonym 'Code White' or CW. No one ever made direct contact with him as he never made a regular appearance. Just popped up here and there, whenever he pleased"

War is looking at him when he says the name of the hacker, Chay wonders why. But he does his best to stare him back. Unlike Kim's other employees, besides Phayu, War keeps his stare.

It doesn't go unnoticed from Kim who grinds his teeth in annoyance. He takes Chay's chin in his hand and says, "Stop fucking looking at him," with heat in his whisper.

Porchay doesn't say a thing as he yanks his chin from Kim's hold, but he keeps his stare away from War.

"Why is he infamous?" someone asks, a guy that Porchay doesn't know but had seen before at Kim's mansion.

"He likes to play and attack governments' and 'evil'," War makes an air quote, "companies' websites. They hate him for it. Many people want to use his skills, but he is very selective in choosing clients. The program that Khun Kittisawasd used is a new and improved one that CW developed. Highly sought out, very expensive. It is likely only from four to three months ago. He only sold it to one person, a hacker in China, known as White Rabbit. Khun Kittisawasd purchase was not found."

There is a deep and pressing silence after that.

"Are you saying that you suspect Porchay is The Code White guy?" Rain blurts.

War is looking at Porchay again. "Yes."
