Chapter Four

Morning came and the clock showed that it was 8:00 and the four brothers were passed out in the room scattered here and there. 

Gulf and Nine slept in the movie room, going to sleep nearly an hour ago after staining their eyes and exhausting themselves from the extreme binge watching. 

While Pavel passed out on the couch with his right leg almost touching the floor, his left leg on top of the couch, hands above his head and lips parted.

Gun slept on his bed with his head at the foot of the bed and his legs spread widely towards the headboard, resting on the pillows. He laid on his stomach with cheeks pressed on the soft duvet and hands on his sides positioned weirdly. Gun's sleeping position too wasn't a pleasant sight to one's eyes early in the morning.

They were so tired and had passed out almost immediately after laying down that they didn't even bother to fix their sleeping positions. 

Gun and Pavel slept first leaving the twins on their movie marathon alone as they had emptied their quota fot the day while their overly energetic younger brothers didnt even bother themselves with sleep. 

"These four are going to give me a headache. Gun too behaves like a kid with them." Thanit said, huffing before continuing again. 

"I don't even know where they are right now and what did they do the whole night!"

"Gulf need to practice with Pavel and Nine needs to prepare for his pageant. I know its a thing they do every friday but they should have a limit to it." Thanit kept on rambling to his husband who had been listening to him attentively with a smile on his face.

Thanit huffed and turned to face Tae. "What are you smiling at you fool! Help me search for them."

"They are in Gun's room baby. I saw it in the camera." Tae informed Thanit still smiling at him.

"Huh? You could've told me before so I could've been spared of this headache." Thanit said frowning.

"If I did then my morning wouldn't have been blessed with the such a cute sight. Seeing my beloved baby getting mad and looking absolutely adorable. I must say that you look too cute when you worry about them and get mad at them." Tae said pulling Thanit by his waist and placing him on his lap. 

"Good morning my sunshine." Tae said kissing his husband softly on the lips.

"Good morning baby." Thanit replied with a huge grin on his face and kissing his husband back before getting up and heading towards the door.

Gun groggily woke up from his slumber and slowly opened his eyes blinking a few times to get a clear sight and he almost swore looking at the first things his eyes showed him that morning. He saw Pavel passed out looking like a dead body randomly tossed on the couch. He stretched a little to soothe his sore muscles and dragged himself out of bed. He walked towards the couch and in an attempt to wake Pavel up he nudged him on his arm with his foot a few times but he still got no response, so he tried another approach.

An evil smirk lingering on his face as he thought of it and he quickly executed his evil plan by pinching Pavel's nose and mouth shut, preventing him from breathing. 

When Pavel felt the lack of oxygen and something blocking his respiration, he immediately shot his eyes open looking at his elder brother who had an evil smirk on his face. He quickly pushed him aside and sat upright catching his breath. 

"I have such an evil brother. God! I receive torture in the morning instead of morning kisses." Pavel said breathing heavily and glaring at Gun. 

"Then find yourself someone who could give you morning kisses." Gun added air quoting the last two words. 

Gun kicked Pavel out of his room and headed towards his bathroom to freshen up before attending to the needs of his growling stomach.

Pavel made his way towards his room, which was to the left side of the hallway, leaaving a gap of two rooms in between his and Gun's. He too freshened up and both of them met each other yet again, outside their rooms. "Heading to the kitchen?" Pavel asked and Gun simply nodded in response. 

"Cool! Let's go then." He added and both made their way towards the kitchen. 

While they were in the kitchen rummaging through the fridge, they heard their names being called by a familiar voice so they snapped their heads to the direction of the sound.

"A good morning to you two. Where are the devil duo? I heard you had a fun night yesterday." Zee said grabbing an apple from the fruit basket and tossing one to Pavel who catched it gracefully.

"Nice catch there." Zee said grinning and biting on his apple. "I'm flattered." Pavel answered with a dramatic bow.

"Oh yeah! I forgot about them. They stayed up late watching movies, so they might be sleeping now." Gun interrupted while grabbing the Nutella jar that he was searching for and dipped his fingers in it.

"Let's check up on them then. They look absolutely adorable when they sleep." New said walking in the kitchen and grabbing a bowl of strawberries from the fridge and taking the nutella jar from Gun, pouring its contents in the bowl and munching on it with a satisfactory grin.

"Why are you guys all gathered in here?" Asked Tae who came in back hugging Thanit. 

"Oh! We were contemplating whether we should check up on Nine and Gulf since they're probably sleeping." Pavel responded while biting on his apple. 

"Then we definitely should!" Thanit added giggling. 

In a few moments, all the six of them were inside Gun's room and upon entering the theatre room they found Gulf on one side of the sofa bed and Nine on the other, with each of their foot on the others' face and lips parted. It looked as though they had slept fighting with each other. Gulf with his disheveled hair, while Nine with drool on his face. Gulf's foot was almost inside Nine's mouth while Nine's foot was poking Gulf's baby cheeks pushing them upwards, making Gulf's eyes look smaller. 

It was one hell of an image and the others not able to handle, quickly surrounded them and stated taking pictures of their sleeping positions from different angles while trying to hold their laughter in. 

Nine being a light sleeper, felt uncomfortable as though being watched over so he shifted in his sleep a bit, before opening his eyes slowly. The first thing that he discovered was the foot that was on his face, just above his closed lips. He felt pissed and quickly bit it as hard as he could in revenge. Gulf screamed in pain at the feeling and shot open his eyes. Gulf saw his twin's foot near his ear and reached out to grab it, wanting to do the same but he was a little slower as Nine retreated his foot back quickly. 

"Shit! What the fuck was that for!" Gulf shouted at his twin still laying down.

"Serves you right for having that feet on my face asshole!" Nine yelled back not sitting up straight either. 

Thanit fake coughed to get their attention as the twins seemed too busy fighting that they didnt even notice the six others in the room.

"Ahem.."

"Holy shit!" The twins exclaimed. 

"Why are you both shocked to see us here?" Tae asked chuckling. 

"You six here, together, with your smirks. Not a good feeling. What embarrassing moments did you capture?" Asked Gulf getting straight to the point.

"Well you're right. We do have some? Maybe many of your embarrassing moments. Wanna see?" New stated, shoving his phone infront of the twins.

They both face palmed themselves. "We're doomed big time brother!" Gulf said patting his twin's back while Nine sighed.

They knew they'd be blackmailed in future by their brothers who would threaten them with their embarrassing pictures and this was more than embarrassing. Surely they've had more embarassing moments but something like this could ruin their image infront of thr person shown to. Gulf didnt even bother to delete the pictures from New's phone since it wasn't the the only picture and it wasn't the only phone which had them, so he let it be. 

"Ughhh.... whatever! I'm hungry! I want food!" Nine said while rushing out the room. 

The others laughed at their embarrassed brother, while exiting the room as well. 

                                                        _____

"What do you mean by the deal not being passed through!" Yelled an angry CEO at his secretary. 

"Uh...well...sir, there has been a problem. Yesterday we've sent one of our investors to seal the deal, but he must've caused trouble and the other party has decided to seal the deal only if the CEO personally comes to them. That's what I have been told. I'm sorry sir." Win explained everything calmly to his angry boss. 

"It's DT Corporations we're talking about Win! Billions worth of investment! Tell me the name of the investor who blundered it up. I will make sure he pays for his mistake." Mew retorted. 

"Sure sir, I will but you have more important things at hand right now." Win reminded his boss who seemed to go quite, so he continued.

"When shall I schedule your meeting with the CEO of DT Corporations?" Win inquired.

"I will personally go and meet him in his house. Just inquire if it's ok with him, and if he is free I'll be visiting him today." Mew said in his usually cold and emotionless voice. 

"Yes sir. I'll get on it now and will inform you after I'm done." Win said before cutting the call. 

"Stupid investor! Making me work on my day off! Screw you!" Win cussed. 

"Baby stop getting angry early in the morning." Bright said, back hugging his boyfriend. 

Win turned and gently kissed his boyfriend with a smile. "I have calls to make and work to do right now, so I'll come to you when I'm done." Win said, leaving bright in the room alone. 

Win came back a few seconds later and popped his head through the door. "We're heading to Chick-fil-a after I'm done since I need to de-stress." He added before leaving once again.

"Such a cutie." Bright remarked with a soft chuckle totally smitten by his lover's extreme cuteness.

                                                     _________

"Hmm...I am free today and I do agree to this meeting, since I to want to meet him as well." Tae said. 

"Sure sir, then I would be scheduling your meeting at 3 in the afternoon." Win said. 

"Yes, that would be ok by me." Tae responded.

"Then, Thank you sir and Have a good day." Win said before ending the call.

Ping~

Secretary Win:

Sir, Meeting at 3:00 p.m today.

                                          received: 11:00 a.m

The meeting had been scheduled at 3:00 and currently it was 1:45 in the afternoon. Win had texted him in the morning informing about the CEO of DT Corporations agreeing to the meeting. 

Mew thought it would be better to do this as soon as possible and not take up Mr. Darvid's time, so he decided to wash up and head straight to the given address. 

10mins later, Mew was all dressed and ready to go and after a 45 minute long drive, he was finally in front of Traipipattanapong residence, in his silverish-grey Ferrari 812. 

The guard opened the door immediately, after confirming his name and he drove himself through the the paved road covered with trees on either side and neared towards the mansion. 

He parked his car infront of the mansion and stepped out and wore his usual "business smile" before being guided inside by one of the servers in the house. 

He had been scouted directly towards Tae's office, where the man had been apparently waiting for his arrival.

"Good afternoon to you Mr. Darvid." 

"A very good afternoon to you too Mr. Suppasit," greeted Tae. 

"So, without any further ado, let's get this meeting started shall we?" Tae asked with a gentle smile. 

"Sure." Mew replied.

Mew apologized for his investors rude behaviour and lack of management skills and rectified what had gone wrong then, with his perfect skills. He managed to impress Tae with his skilfulness on how he explained the whole project to him, and how smoothly and gracefully it was done, without leaving any room for doubt. Mew's management skills were definitely impressive and he surely exceeded Tae's expectations.

Tae smiled at the end of the meeting and looked at Mew with amusement. "I guess they call you a perfectionist for a reason." Tae said while Mew smiled with satisfaction. "Well I must say that I am impressed. Never have I ever seen someone put up a presentation this beautifully and it shows how much sincere and eager you are with this project." 

"Thank you very much Mr. Darvid and it would be my greatest honour to have a partnership with you." Mew said smiling. 

"Well then, congratulations on getting the deal." Tae said congratulating him. 

They shook their hands and Mew thanked Tae for letting him prove himself even after the plunder his investor had done. 

"Well, since you've got the deal and we have a partnership now, it's something to celebrate about isn't it? So do you mind staying for dinner?" Tae asked politely.

"Umm...sure, how could I decline the request plus I guess I am a bit hungry as well." Mew replied truthfully and as a verification his stomach growled confirming it.

"Great then. Feel comfortable to join me and my family then." Tae said with a smile on his face. 

"Would you like to meet my brothers Mr. Suppasit? You would want to know them since they are an important part of the company and you'd be working with them more often." Tae suggested. 

"Sure. I would be obliged." Mew responded.

Tae nodded and guided him to his study and called for New and Zee to come to his study. They entered and sat down while waiting for the two to come down and join them. 

After a few minutes, the two came in and sat down in one of the couches, introducing themselves to Mew. 

Zee went first pulling out his hand for a handshake, after intoducing himself. "I'm Zee Pruk, the Chief Operating Officer of DT Corporations." 

"And I am New Thitiphoom, the Chief Information Officer of DT Corporations." He said pulling out his hand for a handshake.

Mew listened to them and introduced himself as well. "I am Mew Suppasit, the CEO of JC Limited Corp." He said while shaking his hands with New and Zee. 

They talked for a while about work mostly and Mew got to know that Tae took leave from work for sometime, to spend time with his family and his brother Zee, being the COO gladly decided to run the company for a while even though the workload was enormous but with the help of New it was quite alright. Though the most important matters were still handled by Tae, like the deal they signed today. 

He was impressed at the new information and how the usually cold and unapproachable person seemed so soft and lovely while being with his family. He thought about his family at that and his heart pained at the thought. He was forced to snap out of it when he was asked a question. 

"So, what about your family if I may ask?" Zee asked. 

Mew hesitated for a while before answering with a sigh. "I have a twin brother and a younger brother. They are all that I have." Mew answered with a faint smile. 

Tae noticed the change and knew that it was something sensitive for the man, so he diverted the question so that Mew wouldn't be more uncomfortable than he already was. 

"Well that's great! We have twins in our family as well and they are the youngest of us all." Tae said. 

"Oh yes! They are adorable but please don't fall for their cute nature cause they are actually lethal." New added making the man interested in meeting the duo.

Cute and lethal. Quite a unique combination. Mew thought.

"They actually are, I seriously tell you. They always stick together and I call them devil duo while the others call them little devils. You seriously should be careful of them." Zee said faking seriousness, while Mew chuckled listening to them. 

"They're absolutely correct. Those two are adorably cute but too lethal. My daughter is an angel if you compare her to them. They are too mischievous and are always bickering with each other." Tae chortled, thinking about Nine and Gulf bickering at the most stupid things. 

Mew chuckled more at the mention of bickering but stopped after a while. "Wa-wait. You have a daughter?" Mew asked with widened eyes, shocked with the discovery as no one ever mentioned Tae Darvid having a daughter, though he knew he was a married man.

Tae chuckled at the expression. "Yes I have a beautiful daughter and she's turning three this year on my wedding anniversary." Tae said with a huge grin.

"Such a cute family. They really love each other a lot." Thought Mew with a smile.

"Wow. That's something I didn't know and I would love to meet her if I have the opportunity to." Mew added.

"Well consider it done then." Thanit added while coming inside the room with a giggling Lia in his arms. 

"Papa! Put Lia down. I want Dadda." Little Lia demanded with a cute pout.

"Yes, yes, everytime you see your dadda you forget me like i never existed." Thanit complained with a pout putting her down.

"I love you papa, but I love dadda more." Lia replied giggling and waddling towards Tae, while the others laughed at her bluntness.

"Aww, come here my princess." Tae said pulling Lia to sit on his lap. 

"I was just coming to call you all for dinner and Lia tagged along. She was so impatient to meet her Dadda that she didn't even let me knock. I'm sorry for that." Thanit said sitting on the armrest of the couch beside Tae.

"Don't be sorry babe. It's totally fine." Tae responded with a kiss on Thanit's lips which made the latter smile.

"So Lia, someone here wants to meet you." Tae said while looking at his daughter. 

Lia looked up at her dad with her big sparkling doe eyes which made her dad flash a huge smile. Those eyes were his weakness and he'd do anything his daughter wanted him to if she showed those eyes to him and he wasn't the only one in the house to be smittened by them, all the others were on the same page as him.

Tae carried her towards Mew and put her down. "Lia, this is Uncle Mew. Say hi to him." Tae said. 

Lia looked at Mew before uttering something she shouldn't. 

"Hi Uncle Mew, I'm princess Lia and you look sexy." Lia said beaming innocently.

Mew chuckled at the word used by the toddler, while New and Zee controlled their laughter and Tae and Thanit just looked at each other with widened eyes.

"Well thank you little princess, and I must say you are too adorable." Mew responded with a chuckle and pinched her cheeks softly. 

"Lia, who taught you the word "sexy" and do you know what it means?" Tae asked calmly not trying to sound pissed, which he clearly was. Thanit squeezed his hand trying to calm him down from blowing up.

"Huh? Uncle Gulfie taught me." She smiled at her dad. "He says it means someone is pretty. So Lia used it because uncle is pretty." Lia said, looking at her dadda with a pout and her big round sparkly eyes.

"Oh is it?" Tae asked while looking at his husband worriedly, thinking how to explain a two year old the actual meaning since it seemed like she was more than ready to use the word for anything she found pretty which was mostly everything. 

Thanit understood what his husband was thinking. He quickly took Lia in his arms and told the men to come out and join them for dinner, before heading out the door. 

Once they were out, Zee and New laughed their asses out since they were holding it in pretty bad earlier. They held their stomach and leaned back in the couch and laughed so hard that tears started forming in their eyes. 

"Gulf is dead! I'll make sure he doesn't live to see the day tomorrow." Tae uttered with gritted teeth. 

"Chill Tae! You know how Gulf is. Just relax or you'll explode." New said while calming himself down. 

"Yes Tae! Admit it that it wasn't that bad this time. Remember when we had to try so hard to explain Lia what "fuck" actually meant." Zee added laughing again at the remembrance. 

"Don't remind me Zee. I'd rather erase that memory for life. I cannot believe he told her that it meant sleeping and she'd use that word everytime she felt sleepy." Tae said rubbing his forehead at the rememberence of the memory. 

Mew just looked at them with shock. He didn't know that the guy would be this mischievous and he looked forward to meet this guy the most that night. 

He wondered how the guy looked, talked and actually behaved because that was the first time he heard someone being this way, not that he actually talked to people much that he'd know the different kinds of people that existed. He was oblivious to most of the things in life and mainly focused on making money the most.

Being cute and ferocious at the same time. The lone thought made his heart flutter a little and he let out a smile unknowingly.
