This takes place before the chase

Nobody's Pov

Smash!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS?!" 

All the bodyguards flinched at the furious scream of none other than their boss, Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun.

Hell, even Big and Ken flinched.

So, you see, this is what happened...

It was a decent day so far for the Theerapanyakun family and bodyguards.

Everyone was doing their own thing and minding their own business. Just like any other day.

However, the bodyguards began gossiping when word got out about Liam asking Korn for a few days off.

Apparently, from what they've all heard, he was going to visit a friend of his. It was an emergency.

Everyone had assumed that this friend of his had been injured or was dealing with something important and needed Liam for support and comfort. 

Everyone knows that Liam is known for giving just that, mainly to his brothers but also to the bodyguards.

Well, the bodyguards that he's close and friends with.

However, they were all curious and wanted to know more. Some had gone to Porsche and asked if they knew why his brother suddenly asked for time off.

Surprisingly, Porsche was just as confused and curious as they were.

Liam hadn't told him or Chay anything. He had only found out through Pete, who had heard the gossip.

Porsche didn't know who his nong was going to see. As far as he's concerned, Liam doesn't have any friends outside of work besides Tem and Jom.

And he called them and they said that Liam wasn't with them nor did they have any issues.

So, who was this friend?

And why didn't Liam tell him anything?

Pete told him that it was probably nothing and Liam probably didn't want to bother him. That might be true, but he couldn't help but feel upset.

Him and Liam always told each other everything, confided each other in everything.

So, why didn't Liam tell him about his friend or that he was going to take time off?

And why didn't he at least say goodbye to him and Chay before leaving?

He wasn't the only one.

Kinn was also confused as to why Liam, one of his favorite bodyguards, a secret that he'd never admit out loud, asked his papa for time off and his papa easily agreed.

Well, he understands if his papa agreed that easily since he seems to like Liam.

Which is understandable, Liam is practically everyone's favorite.

But, why didn't Liam tell him first before going to his papa?

After all, Liam was his bodyguard and he was his boss he should've gone to him first.

And why was Liam so urgent in leaving to meet up with this friend of his?

He tried getting answers from Pravat, considering he's Liam's roommate and best friend, but Pravat just told him the same thing everyone knew.

To say he was confused and frustrated was an understatement.

But, knowing he won't get any new information, he just decided to drop it and focus on work.

However, that same couldn't be said for his older brother.

Because, apparently, Tankhun had snuck out of the compound without anyone noticing.

Arm and Pol were the first ones to realize that their boss was gone. They tried searching for him as best as they could, not wanting to alert Kinn or Korn until they were 100% certain he was gone and not messing with them.

Unfortunately, they weren't discreet in their search and were confronted by Kinn.

And that's when chaos erupted.

Kinn had all the bodyguards lined up together in the conference room, where they held meetings, and was standing in front of all of them.

"Where the hell is my brother, you idiots! Huh? Answer me, damnit!" Kinn yelled out in frustration.

They were all nervous, not including Porsche and Pravat, and were sweating like bullets.

The most nervous ones were Arm and Pol, given they are Tanknhun's bodyguards.

Korn and Chan stood off to the side, watching as Kinn interrogated his men, waiting for someone to answer his questions.

Chan's face remained stern while Korn's face was neutral.

The bodyguards might fear Kinn, but they also fear Korn.

While Korn is calm, stern, but still calm, he can turn into a raging monster if something happens to one of his sons.

The fact that his oldest wasn't anywhere to be found was concerning.

And the fact that he hasn't spoken a word since they got here was scary.

Kinn was impatiently waiting for someone, anyone, to speak up and say something. Because he was ready to break things if he didn't get any answers.

Unfortunately, nobody was brave enough to speak.

They were scared, yes.

But they really had no idea as to where Tankhun could've gone and they don't even know why he snuck out in the first place.

A throat being cleared was what snapped everyone out of their thoughts.

The bodyguards gulped and turned to look at the person that was brave enough to speak.

And, surprise or not, it was Arm.

Arm ignored the concerned looks he was getting and stepped up, bowing slightly.

"M-Mr. Kinn, w-we s-searched the compound and he isn't here" he managed to stutter out.

Arm now regrets speaking because Kinn's head instantly snapped in his direction.

And the look on his face downright sent shivers down everyone's spines. Even Porsche.

But, for a different reason. If you know what I mean 😉

"Repeat!" Kinn demanded.

"He isn't here, Mr. Kinn. We don't know where he went" Arm told him.

Kinn gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at his sides. He stormed over to Arm.

Arm did his best to keep eye contact with his boss, especially when he harshly jabbed a finger into his chest.

"You and Pol are responsible for my brother. You two are to always be with him and make sure nothing bad happens to him. Yet, you're telling me that he managed to sneak away from your grasp and neither of you noticed until it was too late!" Kinn angrily spat.

Even though he was talking to Arm, all the bodyguards couldn't help but flinch.

Arm flinched himself, knowing that his boss was right and had every right to be angry.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kinn" Arm replied.

He didn't know what else to say other than apologize for his actions, his careless behavior.

Kinn shot him a murderous glare before raising his arm, curling his fist tightly.

The bodyguards gasped as their eyes widened in horror, even Porsche looked scared.

Arm bit the inside of his cheek and clenched his eyes shut, ready to take the hit as best as he could.

However, just before Kinn could swing at him, frantic knocking could be heard.

Everyone's head snapped towards the door, even the three main bosses.

Kinn, clearly irritated as hell, spun around to face the door while dropping his arm.

Arm breathed out a sigh of relief, his legs shaking terribly, as he mentally thanked whoever was behind the door for saving him.

Pol grabbed Arm and pulled him back, not wanting him to be near Kinn in fear of him still getting hit.

Arm blushed but didn't say anything, not even when Pol clutched onto his hand.

"Come in" it was Korn who spoke, his tone stern.

Everyone jumped as the door flew open, making a loud thud, as two people rushed inside.

One being a bodyguard and the other being...

"HIA!!"

Porsche's head snapped towards Chay and his eyes widened when he saw the state his brother was in.

Tears were streaming down Chay's face, his eyes were red and his cheeks were puffy. Fear was being displayed in his eyes.

Porsche didn't waste a second and sprinted towards his nong.

When he was close he grabbed Chay and pulled him into a tight hug, a hug that was easily returned as his nong clung onto him.

Everyone watched their interaction in confusion and interest.

"Chay, what's wrong?" Porsche immediately asked.

Chay started talking, more like rambling, and Porsche couldn't understand a word he was saying.

Actually, nobody could understand what the youngest Kittisawat brother was saying.

He was hysterical and spluttered out random words.

Porsche pulled Chay away from him in order to cup his face with his hands, gently wiping away his tears with his fingers.

"Chay, I need you to calm down because I don't understand a word you're saying right now" Porsche softly said.

He kept his hands on Chay's face, gently caressing his cheeks.

Something he had always done in order to calm him down whether he was sad or angry.

Everyone watched as Chay closed his eyes and took a deep breath, watching as he visibly calmed down.

Porsche smiled when Chay reopened his eyes and gently patted his head.

"See, all better. Now, tell me what's wrong?" Porsche softly asked.

Chay bit the inside of his cheek, clearly worried about what could happen if he tells his brother

Especially when they were in a room filled with many other people.

Chay let out a sigh, knowing that this does concern everyone and one way or another they have to know.

"It's Liam" he finally revealed.

Everyone's head snapped in his direction, now more interested in the conversation than ever.

Hell, even Korn and Chan were invested in the conversation between the brothers.

"What about Liam?" Porsche asked, furrowing his eyebrows together.

"Something happened to him. I think he might be in trouble" Chay told him.

"Why do you think that?" this time it was Kinn that asked, stepping forward.

Chay sniffled and looked over at the mafia boss.

"I was reading in my room when I got a call from Tem. He said that him and Jom were on their way back to our house and when they got there the place was completely trashed, like someone had broken in" he explained.

He bit his lip. He was hesitant to say the next thing, but he knew he had to.

If his hia was in trouble, he needed to tell everyone so they can send a search party and save him.

Making his decision, Chay turned back over to his brother.

"Hia, there was blood in the kitchen and Liam's gun was there too" he revealed.

"Blood" Porsche whispered, clearly horrified.

He wasn't the only one.

The bodyguards, Kinn, Korn and Chan were all horrified by the news.

Sun, the bodyguard that had entered the room alongside Chay, cleared his throat and everyone's attention turned to him.

"Mr. Kinn, Mr. Korn, the boy's friends came over to drop something off. You might want to look at it for yourselves" Sun told them.

Everyone watched as he took out earrings from his pocket.

Everyone gasped. With the exception of Porsche and Chay.

"Those are Tankhun's earrings" Kinn breathed out in horror.

Porsche frowned and stepped a bit away from Chay.

"What's going on? Why is everyone afraid?" Porsche asked, confused and annoyed.

He's not trying to sound heartless but why does it matter if Tankhun lost his earrings?

His brother could be in trouble yet everyone here is worried about earrings.

"Porsche, those are Mr. Tankhun's earrings. Mr. Kinn gave him those earrings on his birthday and Mr. Tankhun swore to never take them off" Pete explained.

Chay seemed to have put the pieces together and his face paled drastically.

Porsche, unfortunately, was still confused.

"Mr. Kinn, Mr. Korn, I'm afraid that Liam and Tankhun might've been taken by a rival gang" Sun revealed.

Everyone gasped in horror.

Porsche finally figured out the problem and why everyone was so scared about Tankhun's earrings.

Tankhun must've left the compound and followed Liam when he heard he was taking a few days off. He probably didn't want to be separated from Liam for too long, even though it was just going to be for a few days, and took off after him.

And somehow, one of the rival gangs must've found out and followed after them and kidnapped them.

Meaning that both of them are in serious danger.

Everyone snapped out of whatever state they were in by someone slamming their fists onto the table.

And that was none other than Kinn.

"What are you fuckers waiting for? Ready your weapons and get the cars started, now!" Kinn snapped.

The bodyguards nodded and all scrambled to leave the room and do as told.

Korn gritted his teeth, slamming his fist onto the wall, before turning to Arm.

"Start tracking them. If Tankhun's still wearing his coat, the same one he wore this morning, we'll be able to find their location" Korn demanded.

"Yes, Mr. Korn" Arm bowed.

He ran out of the room with Pol and Pete following behind him.

"You two get changed, get your guns and your bikes ready!" Chan yelled.

Big and Ken didn't hesitate to nod, bow and rush out of the room to do as told.

"Porsche, come on. They need us" Pravat sternly said.

Porsche nodded and turned to Chay.

"Nong, go back to your room and stay there. I'll update you when we know something. I promise we'll get Liam and Tankhun back safe and sound" he sternly said.

Chay knew better than to argue with his hia, so he just nodded.

Porsche smiled softly and kissed Chay's forehead before running out of the room with Pravat.

The search and chase begins.

A Few Hours Later

Failure.

Failure was something that nobody has ever experienced among the Theerapanyakun bodyguards.

Unfortunately, that's what they're all currently experiencing.

They failed to rescue Tankhun and Liam from the kidnappers.

Now, while they managed to kill some of the thugs that was holding them hostage, they lost sight of the truck that had the two of them inside.

Meaning that Tankhun and Liam are lost.

The cars had stopped and parked near each other after losing the truck.

The bodyguards all got out of the cars and rushed over to Big and Ken, who crashed when trying to go after the truck themselves, to make sure they were alright.

Chan got out of the car and rushed over to Big, crouching in front of him.

"Are you alright, Big? Are you hurt anywhere?" Chan asked, strangely concern for his well being.

Big raised an eyebrow at the man, resisting the urge to blush, and simply nodded his head.

"I'm alright, sir. A few scratches and cuts, but that's it" Big told him.

Chan sighed in relief and nodded. His face remained neutral and he helped Big off the ground.

Big only just recovered from his injured arm and he wants to make sure that he's safe.

The last thing Chan wants is for Big to get hurt, again.

The chatter amongst the bodyguards came to a stop when their boss, Kinn, stepped out of one of the cars.

Everyone stood together, bowing like they always did, before standing up straight.

"Well?! Where are they?" Kinn demanded.

"We tried keeping up with the truck but they were able to knock us down, Mr. Kinn" Big replied.

"The rest of us followed after the truck, shooting at the men in hopes to get them to stop. I managed to kill one of them, the driver I assume, but the truck spiraled and we lost sight of it" Chan finished.

Kinn gritted his teeth and tugged at his hair, letting out a frustrated yell.

He couldn't believe that they had failed in rescuing his brother.

He couldn't believe that his brother and Liam were still in the truck and god knows where.

They could be anywhere and if the truck crashed because there's no damn driver, they could be hurt.

Or worse...

Porsche, who had been awfully quiet the entire time, stepped forward.

"But we still have their location, right? Can we track them from here?" Porsche asked.

He was a the car with Pete, Pravat and a few other bodyguards even though he wanted to be in the car that had Chan and Arm.

He wanted to shoot the assholes that kidnapped his brother himself, but Chan ordered him to stay in the other car.

Porsche was pissed, that was understandable, but the last thing he wanted as to anger Chan and get punished so he just obeyed.

Oh how he wishes he didn't listen and got in the car anyway.

If he had been in the car with Chan and Arm then he would've been able to shoot the bastards.

And he would shoot the tires of the truck to stop it from going any further.

Maybe then his brother would be with him and not still inside the truck.

"Arm" Chan turned to the said person.

Arm had gotten his tablet out, trying to track down Tankhun's location.

Everyone watched as he let out a small 'fuck' under his breath as his eyebrows furrowed together.

"What? What's wrong?" Pete asked, frowning.

"The truck must've crashed somewhere because wherever they crashed has no signal. I can't track Mr. Tankhun's location" Arm explained.

Kinn frowned at that, fear washing over his eyes, while Porsche seemed angered at that.

He marched over to Arm and grabbed his shoulders, pulling him closer.

"What do you mean you can't track them? Aren't you supposed to be the tech wizard or whatever!" Porsche yelled.

"Porsche, wherever they crashed has no signal. I won't be able to find them without a signal" Arm explained.

"Well figure something out, idiot! My brother was in that truck and you dumbasses couldn't do anything to stop the truck and save him! Work your stupid tech magic and find him!" Porsche angrily spat.

The bodyguards, except Big, Ken and Chan, flinched at the way Porsche spoke.

Arm sighed and looked at Porsche in the eye, trying not to yell back at him.

He understands why Porsche is upset. After all, his brother was inside that truck.

If someone important to Arm got kidnapped and he was unable to save them, or find them, he would be angry too.

Kinn rushed over to them and pulled Porsche off of him.

"Porsche, calm down!" Kinn ordered.

Porsche's head snapped in Kinn's direction and he shoved him back harshly.

"Don't tell me to calm down, eyebrows! My brother could be in serious danger! How the hell could this have happened anyway?!" Porsche shouted.

Kinn pressed his lips together, clenched his fist at his side, before turning his head the other way.

He wish he knew the answer to that.

But he didn't. Because he too was frustrated and confused at the same damn time.

Meanwhile, with a certain someone...

Pravat bit the inside of his cheek and turned away, a panicked and confused look on his face.

How could this happen? None of this should've happened.

Liam told him that Kinn and Porsche were the ones that got kidnapped. But since Liam has changed a few things that wasn't going to happen, especially when Porsche and Kinn were both still at the compound.

Liam told him that nothing should've happened this time around because he changed things.

So, why did he and Tankhun get kidnapped?

Pravat understands Tankhun getting kidnapped, he is the oldest son of Korn after all, but why kidnap him when he has nothing to do with the mafia business?

And why kidnap Liam when he's just a bodyguard?

If anything, rival gangs kill the bodyguards and go in for the main target.

If their main target had been Tankhun, why did they take Liam with them too?

God, he was getting a migraine and needed to calm down otherwise he would explode from frustration and confusion.

"What do I do? What do I do?" Pravat muttered under his breath.

He was contemplating on calling Ruby, that beautiful friend of Liam's, and tell her that there's been a change of plans.

But, what good would do that do?

He isn't a tech expert and neither is Ruby or her mother. 

He also doubts that Liam has a tracker on him. Not like how Tankhun does.

And the last thing he wants is to involve Arm, given he's the only tech expert, and have him get suspicious.

Plus, Liam doesn't want anymore people involved and he doesn't blame him.

Pravat snapped out of his thoughts when he heard more yelling.

He turned around just in time to see Big marching over to Porsche, a glare settled on his face.

"Shut your damn mouth, Porsche! Your brother isn't the only one in danger! Mr. Tankhun was also kidnapped and in case you forgot, his last kidnapping experience is what traumatized him! Stop being heartless!" Big yelled.

Porsche whipped his head to look at him, a glare settled on his own face.

He marched over to him and jabbed a finger into his chest.

"I'm not being heartless! I'm aware that Mr. Tankhun was also kidnapped and I'm aware of what he has gone through in the past. And while I do feel bad, he's not my concern! He's not my brother, Liam is. So excuse me for caring more about my brother's safety than his!" Porsche yelled back.

He couldn't believe that Big had the audacity to call him heartless when he was simply concerned for his brother.

Alright, yes, he admits that he's being an ass for not being concerned for Tankhun.

But, the thing is, Tankhun is not his brother.

Tankhun is his boss, yes, but that's just it. 

Porsche barely knows Tankhun, finds it hard to like him, and only tolerates him for Liam's sake, meaning he has no attachment towards him.

Liam is his brother, his nong, and the fear of his nong being in danger scares the hell out of him.

Big opened his mouth to retort when Chan got into between them, shoving them backwards.

"ENOUGH!" Chan shouted.

Both bodyguards flinched. So did the others.

"Yelling at each other and blaming each other isn't going to get us anywhere! Our main priority should be Tankhun and Liam! So stop acting like five year old kids and start acting like adults!" Chan yelled.

The last thing Chan wanted was to gain a headache because of Big and Porsche's hatred towards each other.

He knows that they don't like each other, but right now they should set aside their differences and work together.

At least this once.

Kinn let out a sigh, running his hand through his hair, before walking over to them.

He stood next to Porsche and, quite hesitantly, placed his hand on his shoulder.

Porsche looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, but he didn't shove his hand away.

"I understand that you're scared for your brother's safety. Believe me, I am too. But we have to remain calm, freaking out isn't going to get us anywhere" Kinn told him.

He removed his hand from his shoulder, even though he wanted to keep it there for much longer, and sighed.

"Look, you and I don't get along that well. But right now we have something in common, and that's our brothers. They've been kidnapped and we're both scared and worried for their safety. Especially when we don't even know where they are right now. And if we want them back, if we want to see them alive and safe, we're going to set aside whatever issues we have with each other and work together to find them" Kinn explained.

He pressed his lips together before holding his hand out for him.

"Are you in?" Kinn asked.

Porsche stared at Kinn for a bit, trying to see if he was messing with him or genuinely serious.

Yes, he understands that neither of them have gotten along considering they met under weird circumstances.

And he also understands that he might have complicated feelings towards the man.

Romantic being the first one, but we won't dwell on that too much.

But, he had to admit that Kinn was right.

They had something in common, at least for right now, and that was their brothers and wanting them back safe and sound.

And he's willing to put aside their issues and work together with him to track down their respective brothers.

So, having made his decision, Porsche put his hand in Kinn's and shook it.

"You're damn right I'm in" was Porsche's immediate reply.

Hang on Tankhun and Liam...

The search party has begun and nobody is going to rest until you both are found alive and safe.
