Chapter Eleven

"Gosh! Joong is such a great player. I love him already." Pavel stated with excitement. 

"I'm glad you appreciated it. It's my first time seeing him shooting and I like it as well." Mew said. 

"But, I didn't know Gulf had such amazing skills." Mew added with shining eyes. 

Off nudged him slightly. "Don't you think you're being too obvious?" He whispered. 

"Am I?" Mew replied and Off just shook his head. 

Ping! 

Ping! 

"Gulf said he'll be here after changing and told us to wait here." 

"Joong said he'll come up and told us not to go down." 

Tae and Mew said in unison. 

Nine just looked at them with widened eyes. 

"What!" He almost screamed his lungs out, shocking the others present in the room.

"What's wrong Nine?" Zee asked worriedly. 

"They cannot be together in this room." Nine said making the others more confused. 

"Ugh! They fight with each other almost everytime. Gulf just likes teasing and mocking him while Joong gets all riled up, ready to punch him in the face." Nine said sighing. 

"Wait. So you're the one he...ummm and he's the one who's Joong jealous of?" Off said carefully not to spill out the confidential information. 

Nine looked confused for a moment and added," I don't know about being jealous, but they surely don't get along."

Mew got a hold of the situation and when he understood, his eyes widened enough to fall out of its socket. 

"Joong likes Gulf's twin?" Mew blurted out and immediately slapped his mouth for saying something which he wasn't supposed to and Off just glared at his twin. "Loose mouth." That's what he thought. 

"I swear Mew I'm never gonna tell you shit in future." Off said glaring at him.

Nine all the while froze there on spot. "Wait. So you're saying that cheeky kid likes me?" Nine said scoffing. 

Off hesitated for a while and nodded. "Well if you're the one he talked about then yes, but I cannot confirm it yet." Off said shrugging. 

Moments after, they heard the door creak open and the person who entered, froze on his tracks. 

Joong stood their shocked, making his jaws almost touch the floor. He couldn't move. Why the hell was Nine here and who were all these people? His mind was going crazy at all the possible thoughts.

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a heavy weight on his back. "Why the hell are you guarding the door with your body? I'm sorry but I don't want to trample you. Kindly shove your ass aside please." The person said possibly irritated. 

He turned around to shout at the person when he just froze. Once again.

"YOU!" They both screamed in unison and Gulf just pushed him inside forcefully and closed the door behind. 

"What do you think you're doing in the VVIP lounge area?" Joong said sternly. 

Gulf was actually enjoying pissing this kid off. His expressions were just too fun to watch so, he just smirked at Joong instead of responding. 

"I asked you something." Joong stated clearly getting pissed. 

"I'm here for the same reasons that you're here for I guess. " Gulf said cockyly. He was enjoying the tease to his hearts content. 

"Nonsense! I'm here to meet my family and you have no business here. Get the hell out of here before I call the security and hand you over to them." Joong said smirking, thinking it will scare Gulf a little. 

The others were watching in concern. Gulf's brothers were worried about Gulf punching the boy infront of him if he pissed Gulf more and Joong's brothers were worried about Joong falling in trouble because of his rotten attitude. At the end, both sides were concerned about Joong since he didn't seem to think clearly. 

Gulf noticed his brothers and his best friend's concerns and he motioned them that he'll not do anything overboard and he kept his promise. 

Joong expected Gulf to react to what he had stated in a certain way, but what happened was the opposite. 

Gulf settled himself at a bean bag near the big television and let out a hysterical laugh. It sounded more like him mocking Joong. That's what Joong thought. 

"If you want to do that, go on kid." Gulf stated in a mocking manner. 

Since you're so damn cheeky and rotten, let's play it your way. I'll se how long you last. Gulf thought. 

That was it and all ends cut loose. Joong walked towards Gulf and held him by his collar, making him stand up. 

"Stop smirking or else you're going to walk out of this room with bruises." Joong said clenching his fists.

"Go on. Do it if you can." Gulf said smirking again, pushing Joong to the edge. 

The hell he smirking at. I fucking hate this guy to the core.

Little did he know that this hatred would be causing him a lot of trouble in the near future. 

Joong couldn't control himself and landed a hard punch on Gulf's face, making everyone gasp and Gulf stumble a bit. 

Gulf could taste blood on his lips and he smirked again. At this point of time, anyone who'd see Gulf would conclude that he was a crazy person, who had been doing nothing all along. Well he had his sole reasons for that as well. 

"The fuck you smirking at you crazy asshole." Joong growled and got ready to land another punch on him, when Gulf grabbed his fists and his face changed. His face was cold and emotionless. 

He looked straight into Joong's eyes. "I acknowledge that you have great strength, but don't make me land a punch on you." He said in his coldest tone. 

Mew was shocked experiencing the whole situation. Joong behaving like an asshole and a bratty kid and Gulf, calm, composed, provoking and cold and stern at the same time.

Joong wanted to let his fist free, but he couldn't. Gulf's hold was way too strong. He might look lean, but his strength was unbelievable. 

"Now, if you'd let me, I'd want to greet my family." Gulf said, freeing Joong's fist and shoving him aside with force making him stumble.

He greeted his brothers one by one and when he reached Nine, he had been examining Gulf's bruised and bleeding lips and immediately looked towards Joong who'd been staring at them and he shot daggers at him through his glares. 

He hated his twin getting hurt, even though they faught like cats and dogs, he loved him more than anything and hated anyone who hurt him. Only he could hurt his twin.

Gulf then turned towards Mew, who had been looking at him with eyes full of concern. He didn't hesitate and hugged Mew tight and the hug was reciprocated even tighter. "I'm fine Hotness." Whispered Gulf in Mew's left ear, sending shivers through his body, while Mew just rubbed his back soothingly. 

He broke the hug and examined Gulf's bruised lip and frowned. "I don't like seeing bruises in this cute face." He said slightly pouting and Gulf couldn't help but chuckle. 

Joong just stood there as though his soul had been sucked out of his body. What was going on he had no idea and it was too confusing. 

"Care to tell me what's going on?" Joong asked with gritted teeth.

Gulf turned around and smiled. "Well, I assume you are the younger brother of the man I like here. Am I right?" Gulf asked smiling while Mew was shocked and surprised to be addressed as Gulf's love interest openly. He was happy. 

"Man you like? Who?" Joong asked with widened eyes.

"Does he not know who his brother is?" Gulf asked turning to Mew making him chuckle.

"He's talking about me Joong." Mew said. 

"Huh? You know this rude person?" Joong asked in disbelief. 

"Yes, I know him and I like him as well and no, he isn't rude. Not at all with me and neither with others." Mew stated looking at Gulf with his lovestruck eyes and Gulf beamed at that statement. 

"Gosh! I am going crazy! How do you know I'm his brother?" Joong asked dumbly. 

Gulf sighed and rolled his eyes. "That is because you have the same surname as your elder brother here. " 

"But that doesn't explain why the hell you are here." Joong asked riling up again.

"He's here because of us." Nine said butting in.

Joong looked at him and remembered the look he had received earlier from Nine. Why was he so concerned about this rude person? Why? Joong thought to himself. 

"What do you mean?" Joong asked curiously. 

"Because he's Uncle Gulfie! My Uncle Gulfie and you are bad! Dadda says fighting bad! You hit Uncle Gulfie. You bad! Lia doesn't like you." Lia said with tears pooling her eyes and within a matter of seconds, she burst out crying in Off's arm hugging him tight.

"You will pay later for making my niece cry Mister." Gulf said sternly and consoled a crying Lia in Off's arms. He hated when Lia cried. Call him a protective uncle cause he certainly is one.

She was refusing to leave Off and snuggled closer to him while sobbing, placing her head on his shoulder and fastening her arms around Off's neck.

Off couldn't help but hold her tight and sway her a little to calm her down. He too felt bad seeing the little girl cry. He had been swaying her left to right and whispering soothing words to her which made her calm down, relatively faster than she ever had. 

Tae and Thanit looked at each other and smiled. They had never seen their daughter behave this way with anyone else other than their family and they kind of liked her opening up to someone else. 

Turning to the situation at hand, Joong stood their all confused and was having a hard time understanding what was actually going on. Call him dense, cause he is. 

"Okay I am sorry for making her cry, but I still don't understand anything." Joong said utterly confused. 

"How dense can someone be. Are you sure he's your brother Off, Mew?" Nine asked clearly frustrated and the others could just laugh it off.

"Well I guess you're the real bullhead here. So listen up thick skull cause I ain't gonna repeat myself again." Nine said in a firm voice and Joong only nodded in response. 

Mew and Off looked at each other in disbelief since Joong completely ignored the nickname he was called by. If it had been anyone else calling him by that nickname, they'd be beaten black and blue until now. 

"The guy that you hate so much, I don't know why though and whom you punched a while ago, is my stupid twin and they are our elder brothers. The girl who cried because of you, is our niece and my eldest brother and his husband's daughter. Get it now?" Nine said with a huff.

"What the fuck!" Joong cursed.

"Language Joong!" Off said sternly motioning that Lia was still listening. 

Joong could only stand in despair. He knew he had messed up really bad. Hating and hitting the twin of the guy he likes. A very bad move though he still hates him, but he knew he messed up. 

That's why he looked at me like he could kill me when I punched Gulf. Not because he is his boyfriend or crush but because he is his twin? Joong thought and smiled at the realisation, while the others thought that maybe he had gone crazy due to the information he received. "Are you finally going crazy?" Nine asked mockingly.

Joong looked up at Nine and could only smile like a fool. Gulf is not his boyfriend. That was the only thing he kept on thinking and smiling like a fool. 

Too much for love. "Okay, it's enough now. Gulf congratulations for wining and Joong you played very well too." Gun said smiling. 

"Oh before I forget, I am Gun Atthaphan, Gulf's and Nine's fourth elder brother." Gun said extending his hand for a handshake. 

He took the hand and bowed down politely, but he was still in daze. 

"Tae, Thanit, I have to visit someone so I am off now. Take care Gulf and we'll talk later at home." Gun said patting Gulf's shoulder and glancing at Off once before leaving the room.

He didn't know why did he even had the urge to look at him. He looked peaceful holding Lia in his arms and it sent tingles all over Gun's body. Weird. Is all what he could think of. 

The others too after a little bit of introduction, left. Lia still refused to get down from Off's hold, so Off offered to go along with them to the Traipipattanapong's mansion. Since Lia wasn't going to have it the other way. She seemed too attached and comfortable with his new favourite Uncle and who could deny such a beautiful baby. 

The others left as well. Tae, Thanit and Off along with Lia, went together in Tae's sleek, black Audi.

New left alone, riding on his white BMW i8,

While Zee and Saint rode off together on Zee's white Porsche Taycan Turbo S. They practically rushed out since they'd be going on their first ever date and everyone let them be. 

Mew, Gulf, Joong and Nine were the only ones left in the room. Joong was still awkward as hell after finding out about Gulf and Nine. He didn't know what to do so he chose to shut up instead. Shutting up is better than spouting nonsense and getting myself in trouble. That's what Joong thought. 

"Since everyone already left, let us head out as well." Gulf said to break the awkward atmosphere. The others just nodded in response.

Gulf turned to Mew and looked at him and Mew understood what Gulf wanted. "You wanna go with me Cuteness?" Mew asked beaming and Gulf nodded adorably. 

"Then let's go out for a date as well. What's say?" Mew asked pinching Gulf's tinted chubby cheeks. 

"I'm all for it." Gulf said and tugged Mew out of the room, leaving Joong and Nine together. 

Nine almost cursed Gulf for leaving him in this awkward situation and going on a date with his sweetheart. 

However, after a while Gulf came back and tossed his car key towards Nine. "Take this as a help from my side frog face and don't tamper with my lily. She's precious." Gulf said pretending to wipe the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Dramatic asshole. Yes, sir I will take care of your PRECIOUS lily for you. Hope you enjoy your date." Nine said mockingly while Gulf just giggled.

Gulf turned to Joong and his face fell, immediately becoming cold and dark. The duality I have. "I know you like my twin and trust me kid, I'm going to make it so damn hard for you. Be careful of what you do. One wrong move and you won't live to see the daylight the next day." Gulf whispered with a smirk and patted Joong's shoulder before leaving. 

Joong couldn't deny that he hated Gulf and now he hated him more. Ugh! Such a pain in the ass. Well, you are one as well. Joong said to himself. 

Gulf dashed downstairs and as soon as he saw Mew, his face lit up and shone the brightest it ever did. Mew was indeed his sunshine and Gulf was Mew's. 

"I hope you didn't tease my baby brother a little too much?" Mew said pouting. 

"Oh come on! I love teasing and pushing him on the edge. His reactions are so satisfying." Gulf chuckled.

"I wonder how come nobody ever did anything like that to him." Gulf added.

Mew snaked his arms around Gulf's waist making Gulf blush a light shade of pink. 

"Well, there wasn't anybody as awesome as you. The only person who ever dared to go against him." Mew said adoring Gulf's twinkling eyes. 

"Oh no. Trust me Nine is worse than me and it would be fun to watch them fight." Gulf chortled.

"Gosh you're such a cute little devil." Mew said rolling his eyes.

"And you like this cute little devil." Gulf responded winking. 

"I do, a little too much." Mew stated and they both laughed.

"So, let's start this date, shall we?" Gulf said and Mew happily agreed. They got in 

Mew's black Mercedes AMG GTR Pro. 

Meanwhile, Joong and Nine were still upstairs alone. One too nervous to talk and the other plainly pissed off.
