Chapter Text
The next morning, the three Theerapanyakun brothers prepared breakfast for Porsche and Porchay. They made a mess in the kitchen, but the sight of them spontaneously enjoying an activity together was too rare to have the cooks say anything about it.
It wasn’t peaceful at all, but they looked the closest they had been in years.
“You’re burning the eggs, Kinn!” scolded Kim, trying to reach the stove his brother was using, but getting stopped by Khun, who took his arms and put them behind his back.
“Let him do it, Kim. If he burns them, he’ll do it again, it’s not a tragedy”
Kim had to surrender and watch Kinn try again. He didn’t nail it, but at least Porchay would have something edible.
“I’ll take Porchay out to have a proper breakfast after this” announced Kim.
“Oh! Look at him, Khun, who would have thought someone would have Kim at his feet this way?” laughed Kinn, watching Kim literally pouting.
“You should have seen the pictures I took down from Twitter. He thought he was so good at hiding that stupid look on his face when he was with Chay” encouraged Khun.
“It’s not my fault if my boyfriend is an absolute angel!”
“You’re boyfriend is a little shit, Kim. And that’s why you two get along so well. It must be something about younger brothers” Kinn was absolutely squeezing this moment to the very last drop.
Khun had Kim still in his arms, and he knew Kim would never actually try yo get out of his brother’s hold.
“Porchay is immaculate” debated Kim.
“Yeah, sure! When Porsche found out you had spent the night in his brother’s room the first time, Porchay blackmailed him with a text he accidentally sent him instead of me” revealed Kinn.
“That’s why Porsche didn’t kill me! He gave me the silent treatment for a week, but I was honestly expecting him to attempt murder”
“He wanted to strangle you for real, Kim. I told him that there was no way you two hadn’t already do what you needed to do, which I admit didn’t help at all. Porchay stormed in the office after his guard told him that Porsche had entered his room in the morning and saw you. Your little immaculate angel said, and I quote: ‘you do anything to P’Kim and I’ll print that text and hang it everywhere in the compound and in our neighborhood. Everybody will know! Leave my P’Kim alone, ‘cause it’s too late for you to worry about my integrity’ and just left. Porsche almost fainted. That little thing, I swear to God”
Kinn tried to imitate Porchay, using a high-pitched voice and pointing his finger at Kim the same way Porchay did to his brother.
“That’s my boy, yup!” proudly confirmed Kim.
Khun released Kim when it was time to plate the breakfast they attempted to prepared. They tried to add some decorative touches to hide any imperfection. It was a lot of decorative touches.
“You’re one to talk, Kinn. Porsche has the whole compound on their toes. He acts first and thinks later” added Khun, trying to balance the mocking.
“Great feature for this family’s business, I must say” Kim didn’t skip a beat.
“Since I can’t defend him, I won’t speak” laughed Kinn, knowing damn well Porsche’s temper was another level of metaphorical fire hazard.
Sometimes not even metaphorical at all.
When they were in front of Porchay’s door, Kinn was about to knock, but Kim blocked his hand and just put the code on the keypad.
They found Porsche spread on the bed on his stomach, taking almost all of the space for himself. Porchay was on his back, with one leg and arm on his brother and his head on Porsche’s arm. Neither on them looked comfortable, but they were sleeping soundly.
There was an almost empty bottle of wine on the ground, at the end on the bed, with empty packages of snacks next to it.
“And he gave me the talk when I brought Porchay out to drink the first time” complained Kim.
Kinn and Kim walked each to one side of the bed, waking up their boyfriends. Kinn, knowing that Porsche was a heavy sleeper, started to gently shake him at first, and then increasingly harder. Kim, on his side, started to stroke Porchay’s head and call his name with a sweet tone.
In the act of shaking Porsche awake, Porchay also started to receive his brother’s movements.
“You’re also shaking Chay, Kinn! Not so hard!” whisper-yelled Kim.
Porchay let out a loud and annoyed moan, slowly opening on eye and meeting Kim’s gaze. He smiled at Chay, kissing his forehead.
“Morning, angel” greeted Kim.
Porchay, still with his eyes squeezed, looked around and saw everyone in his room. He turned red and tried to hide his face in Kim’s shoulder, making Kim smile fondly, stroking his head.
Khun looked at them with enamored eyes, feeling his heart being filled with happiness at the sight of Kim being openly domestic and sweet, letting his feelings show so naturally. Porchay definitely was Kim’s miracle.
Porsche, on his side, was starting to wake up and, while still half asleep, he recognized Kinn’s habitual presence. He extended his arm towards him, trying to reach Kinn.
“Kinn…” called Porsche.
For Kinn, this was Porsche being usually clingy in the morning, but Khun and Kim were definitely amused seeing the usually cocky Porsche being so soft.
“Wake up, love, we’ve made breakfast” explained Kinn, fondly looking at his sleepyhead not wanting to turn on his brain, as always.
“Oh my God, yes, food!” exclaimed Porchay, sitting up on the bed and moving to make space for Kim.
Much to Kim’s horror, they all settled on the bed as Khun passed around their trays from the food cart the took from the kitchen.
“We’ll wash even the mattress after this, angel. Clothes and food on the bed, a nightmare!”
“It wouldn’t be the first time, P’Kim” laughed Porchay, with a smirk.
Kim widened his eyes to Chay, surprised.
“Nope! No! No, no!” exclaimed Porsche, shaking one hand in the air to make his brother stop talking.
“Oh! I have a question! Porchay, what was Porsche’s text? I want to know!” asked enthusiastically Khun.
“No!” screamed Porsche and Kinn at the same time.
Porsche and Porchay’s bond drew the edges of the path that the three Theerapanyakun brothers used to create their own unique relationships with one another. They had to take their time, feeling awkward at first when Porsche and Porchay were not with them.
Kim invited his brothers to his studio, letting them meet his colleagues and staff. Khun absolutely thrived as Wik’s biggest fan - much to Porchay’s peace of mind.
Kim and Kinn used their common passion for music to straighten their bond, and they let Khun witness its growth by always involving him, who was happy to just be there, even without sharing their enthusiasm. He felt like a proud dad with his two sons finally overcoming the fighting stage of their relationship.
Kinn felt he didn’t have much to share with his brothers outside of his job, but Khun suggested Kim to teach him how to cook, after the glimpse of joy and self accomplishment Kinn showed during the couples of times they decide to repeat the self-made breakfast experience.
Kim was not a patient teacher, and Khun scolded him for it, but he was always the first to taste his brother’s food, trying to find even the smallest improvement every single time.
Khun and Porchay didn’t know if Kim was aware of that, but giving food an emotional value through Kinn also helped Kim shift away from his dry and strictly nutritional approach to it. Porchay sometimes helped him find easy but fun recipes he could suggest for Kinn’s next lesson. Kim would take into consideration Kinn’s tastes and always tried to find something with elements Kinn was already familiar with, so he would not be too discouraged in case of failure.
Khun slowly toned down his forever happy facade, also revealing to his brother the side of him that was unmistakably Theerapanyakun.
He never stopped being the main source of joy of their meetings, as Khun himself was born to spread love. However, Kim and Kinn finally started to reach out for him when they would argue with their boyfriends or with each other, Kim would ask for advice for Wik’s career, recognizing Khun’s talent for media communication.
Kinn discovered he loved to have late night drinks with Khun and Porsche, usually by the pool, and Khun once cried for how happy he was to be involved in this part of Kinn's life.
It was not easy work to disassemble the family dynamic Korn took years to create, but Khun’s natural instinct to take care of his brothers’ wellbeing and their relationship made him take strong stances when past painful memories and rivalries surfaced.
Khun made them talk, finally being able to explicitly impose his authority as the older brother to make sure none of them would slip away when it came to bare themselves for the sake of their relationship.
Wik’s fans finally met his brother, who publicly became his obsessive fans' worst nightmare. His staff didn’t have an easy life either, as for his baby brother nothing but the best could be accepted. Sometimes Kim had to ask him to tone it down, even if he secretly loved having Khun roaming backstage and on stage during his rehearsals, pointing out anything that could be improved or fixed.
"Wik deserves better than that!" was his usual line.
The most impressive move from the older brother, however, was when he visited of the rival families’ heir, but not for the reason everyone expected.
The little spoiled heir had the courage to talk behind Kinn’s back during a charity event where many powerful families were present. Half drunk, he explained to a few guests how Kinn’s sexual disease - his relationship with Porsche - could be harmful to anyone who worked with him.
The word reached Khun before Kinn, and he didn’t even bother getting out of his house attire to ask Arm to drive him to that little shit, wherever he was.
The next day, without even Arm knowing what Khun said or did to the rival family’s son, the biggest legal Theerapanyakun company received an offer to acquire the other family’s second biggest company, with an incredibly loss for the vendor. The scared kid left the country right after signing the documents.
Once let loose, Khun proved himself to be the most protective and scary Theerapanyakun.
