"P'Kit Kat, please... slow down. I-I can't....," grunts Ming as he gasps for air.

"MingKwan, don't you dare to stop now," scolds Kit angrily.

"I can't feel my lower body. Please, Phi. Let's take a break,"

"Nong, we are so close."

"P'Kit, why would you do this the first thing on a Saturday morning? I'm tired, P'Kit," begs Ming as he pants heavily.

"Because It's Saturday morning. You'll get drunk tonight with your friends, and I have to nurse your hangover tomorrow morning. We can't do this tomorrow," explained Kit as he pants too.

"But, P'Kit Kat....,"

"Oi, I didn't know you have so little stamina in you," taunted Kit with a light giggle playfully.

"P'Kit.....," whined Ming loudly, which gained the other hiker's attention.

"Mingkawan, stop whining and climb this damn hill. It's not even the steppest or the tallest hill around our campus," Kit scolded Ming as he climbs the hill faster than Ming with the back bag.

"Wait for me, my P'Kit Kat," responded Ming as he tried his best to catch up with his angry kitten.

"How did you even pass your sotus? You lack stamina, Nong. I can't believe Forth let you get this gear," mocked Kit as he showed off the gear bracelet on his wrist once Ming reached his side. Ming gave it to him once he finished hugging him in the cafeteria.

"P'Kit Kat, I save my stamina for other important purposes. This hiking is not one of them, and I went through hell to get that gear bracelet for you. That's the symbol of my heart, P'Kit Kat," he replied with his smug smile.

"You better make this hiking as one of your important purposes, or else you're going back to your dorm tonight. No sleepover for you," reminded Kit as they continued hiking with a sulking Ming.

"P'Kit Kat, I can see the peak already. Come on, Phi. Let's get there faster," said Ming as he ran off, leaving Kit behind. Kit could only shake his head unamused by his boyfriend's child-like behaviour.

After a few more minutes of hiking, Kit reached the peak of the hill as well. Ming was already there waiting for Kit at the end of the stairs.

"P'Kit Kat, look. The view is magnificent here," exclaimed Ming excitedly.

"I know, Ming. That's why I wanted to bring you here to see the sunrise. It's my comfort place. I wanted to bring you here," said Kit happily as he lovingly looked at Ming.

"I'm so happy to know this place and be here to watch the sunrise with you, P'Kit," replied Ming with the same excitement as he engulfed Kit into his warm hug.

"Come on, Ming. Let's get a spot to view our first sunrise together," mentioned Kit as he dragged Ming along with him.

They both settled down by the edge of the hill by the protection fence. The sun slowly rises above the horizon as it spreads its rays through the sky. The once dark sky lights up into a beautiful orange mix yellow sky in a few minutes.

Ming watched Kit join his palms together as he prayed to the sunrise. It seemed more like he was making a wish upon the sun.

Ming looked at his adorable dimpled boyfriend pray and eventually followed him in wishing upon the sun.

When the sun reached its ideal spot in the vast sky, Kit was done with the sightseeing as well. Therefore, both of them decided to climb down the hill.

"P'Kit Kat, why do you love watching the sunrise, phi? Isn't it better to watch the sunset? We can reach here later in the afternoon after getting plenty of rest," asked Ming as he swung their joined hands front and back.

"Sunrise is special, Ming. Everybody has a different meaning to it. What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page. A new chance to right ourselves and receive each day in all its glory. Each day is a wonder. Don't you think so?" he asked back as he smiled sweetly at Ming.

"P'Kit, if I get to watch every sunrise with you, even though it's tiring and hard to wake up early, I'll do it gladly," stated Ming with a sincere smile that melts Kit's heart.

"Such a sweet talker......," mumbled Kit to himself, but Ming caught his words anyway.

"Owh, I'm sincere with my love for you, na, P'Kit Kat," defended Ming while he chased behind the now running away P'Kit.

Once they got back to their dorm, they took turns to freshen up. Ming bought breakfast while Kit was still in the shower. Ming gets their sandwiches from the nearby Subway with a carton of milk.

When Kit walked out of the washroom, he noticed the table. It had their breakfast with a vase of roses in the middle and an excited Ming along with it.

"Now, I doubt if the rumours are really rumours," stated Kit as he took his seat opposite Ming.

"P'Kit Kat, let's have breakfast first, and what rumours are you talking about, Phi?" he doubtfully asked as he munched on his sandwich.

"That you are hopelessly romantic and a former playboy with countless ex-girlfriends,"

"Wh-what? No, P'Kit Kat. That's really are rumours,"

"Really?!"

"Really, Phi. You may ask Wayo for confirmation, na. I never had any faen before you. I don't even know what I was doing before I met you,"

"Haha, chill, Ming. I'm only messing with you. Whoever you date before me, Whatever you did before you met me is not essential. For me, you in front of me is way important than the past you," Kit calmly replied as he ate his sandwich.

"P'Kit, if this is a game, I'm K.O(knocked out), na. You make my heart flutter effortlessly," said Ming as he tried to hide his blushing cheeks behind his big palm.

"Mingkwan, eat," ordered Kit with his dimpled smile as he laughed along with the now blushing Ming.

"But, the rumours are half-truth, Phi," stated Ming, which caused Kit to choke on his milk.

"What?!" he questioned with an irritated face.

"I am hopelessly romantic, and I love you so much," replied Ming which in return made Kit blush hard.

The sudden ringing of the Ming's phone gained their attention.

"It's P'San," stated Ming as he attended the call in front of Kit.

The smile he had on his face disappeared when he knew why his sister called him on the early Saturday morning.

"Okay, P'San. I'll think about it," he responded to the caller as he hung up the call.

"What happened, Ming?"

"P'San told me that our parents requested us to come back home today for lunch. Remember when P'San wanted to get closure for Satan before? Well, today they invited Satan as well," said Ming dejectedly.

He doesn't want to go to that house again.

He doesn't want to listen to their lies anymore.

He is tired of too many family secrets and too many lies.

Finally, everything quieted down, and he was not up for another family issue.

"I think that this is for the best, na. You'll finally get the closure you were looking for till now, along with Uncle Krist. How I wish my family does the same. Unlike me, you get this chance, Ming. Maybe you'll like the turn of the event today," encouraged Kit.

"P'Kit, will you-" started Ming with a sad, insecure voice.

"I will wait for you here, no matter what happens today. No matter how the day ends, I'll be here," assured Kit.

"I love you, P'Kit Kat. I'll be back," replied Ming happily as he left for his house.

Ming had insecurities about the acknowledged dark past of his family and his parents' judgemental thoughts about everything in particular. But it all vanished in the thin air when Kit assured him with his sweet smile.

Because now he knows that a person is waiting for him back at home, and that person will never judge him, no matter what.

The huge dining table had a variety of cuisines, and all were present. Ming's parents, Wayo's parents with Ming, P'San and Wayo, along with Satan and Uncle Ben, were all seated in their respective seats.

Ming and Wayo didn't know what to do. So does P'San. They waited for the elders to start the conversation, but none did. None of them made any effort to eat or talk.

"How long are we going to sit like this?" asked Wayo when he finally lost patience and got hungry.

"Let's have lunch first. We can discuss other details in the living room after this," stated Mrs Daichapanya.

Ming had no appetite while Wayo was having a feast. He needs extra energy to get through this whole ordeal. Once they had a decent lunch, they moved forward to the living room.

Mr Daichapanya sat at the head sofa while the others sat around him. P'San, Ming and Wayo decided that it's better to stand near them than sitting with them.

"Let me start from the minor details. I'm Ben, the NIA head officer. I ran the NIA.

Krist joined NIA as soon as he graduated from law school.

You were still running the Mafia at the time, Mr Daichapanya," stated Uncle Ben calmly.

'How is being the head officer in NIA and Satan having a law degree a minor thing?!' was all Wayo could think as he gave a confused look at Ming.

"I gave him the freedom to choose what he wanted to study. I didn't know he chose law and worked under NIA," replied Ming's Dad, flabbergasted.

'Okay, that's new. I thought my dad knew everything that happens around him,' thought Ming.

"Krist, worked hard as both undercover NIA agent and also as a gangster even before you decide to leave the Mafia world. Have you ever wonder why the NIA or any police force didn't investigate you? Why didn't you have any issues in your life with the police after you left Mafia?

Well, it's because Krist atoned for you. He vowed to end the Mafia in Thailand and capture the illegal black market culprits. That's the only reason why the NIA didn't come after you.

For your younger brother Aiden part, he was the culprit behind the kidnap plan ten years ago. He wanted to get your place when you decided to leave the Mafia world behind. But you chose Krist as your successor, and Aided didn't like that. Therefore, he did everything in his power to make both of you enemies, and he succeeded in it too. You trusted every nonsense Aiden tell you about Krist.

If Krist didn't find the information sooner and leaked the information to Mr Tad, You could have lost both of your kids that day. After that, you despise Krist. And that gave him the chance to get all the opposite team's support. He eliminated every Mafia in Thailand with the proper protocol, and everything was about to end well when Aiden caused the accident, which cost Nong San's safety.

Krist had to extend his act as undercover to protect Nong. We figured out that your bother was part of the underground black market along with the Italian Mafia. We had to come up with a new plan to excreted the black market altogether. That's the reason why he took out Aiden from this prison and played along with his so called revenge plan.

That's the long story short. I take Krist back as my active NIA agent now that he demolished the last standing Mafia group. Since he worked as undercover Mafia, his record is clear, and he may live his life freely after this," explained Uncle Ben like a professional he is.

"Oh Krist, I'm so proud of you," said Mr Panitchayasawad.

The boy they take in is now a great detective, and he had done miracles.

"Thank you so much, Krist. We owe you a big time. You saved my kids not once but on multiple occasions. I can't thank you more," stated Ming's Mother.

Uncle Krist only sat there quietly and only nodded in response. Uncle Krist didn't talk or even look at Mongkat's way, which is Ming's dad.

"My job here is done. I'll take my leave now," said Uncle Ben.

"My job here is done as well, chief. I'll follow you to the headquarters," replied Krist for the first time since this whole thing started.

P'San rushed to Uncle Krist's side and held onto his palms to stop him from leaving.

"Uncle Krist, you promised me," she said with a sad face.

"Princess, I'll contact you next ti-" before he could complete, his words were interrupted by a loud voice.

"Aren't you even going to face me, Nong?" asked Mongkat with a hoarse voice.

He had no idea why Krist agreed to stay back in Mafia or why he became their enemy. Mongkat doubted his loyalty and saw him as a nemesis.

"At least, let me apologize properly. I'm so sorry for leaving you behind. I thought you wanted to become my successor," stated Mongkat dejectedly.

"Apology accepted," replied Krist shortly as he turned around to leave.

"Don't you have anything else to tell me?" asked Mongkat with a raised voice to stop Uncle Krist from leaving.

"What you want me to say? That I was disappointed when you left me behind without even asking me? That you were so dense to believe your younger brother's word and treat me as an enemy? You left me like I was no reason to stay, P'Mong," he said bitterly.

"You can't raise people and abandoned them, P. They will think that they have done something wrong their entire life. I felt left out and useless when you trusted nongs with Aided than me.

You said that I'm part of the family as well. Then why did you do that, P'Mong? Was I that bad till the point you wanted to save and separate my niece and nephews from me, P?" asked uncle Krist with angry tears in his eyes.

"Ohh, Nong," called out Mongkat as he engulfed Uncle Krist in his arms.

"You were the first and the best decision I made in my life. You made me so proud.

You're more than a brother to me. I treated you like a son. That's why I wanted to give you everything you want. I genuinely thought that you wanted to run the Mafia alone like an emperor. I never wanted to abandon you, Krist.

My only regret is not believing you enough to ask you about the kidnap straightway. I regret it till now. If only I were not so dense and emotional, our family wouldn't go through this trouble. P is so sorry, na, Nong. Please forgive me," replied Mongkat as he hugged the crying Uncle Krist even tighter.

"I missed you so much, P'Mong," responded Uncle Krist.

Upon hearing and witnessing the whole scene, Wayo's dad rushed to engulf both of them in his arms. Finally, the family is complete without any misunderstandings.

"P'Tad," called Uncle Krist.

"Now you remember me, you little brat," said Wayo's dad as they all smiled at each other with teary eyes.

The mothers were shedding happy tears by the side while P'San started to cry by hugging Ming's arm. Wayo got emotional as well, but he held his tears in his eyes. Ming never thought this kind of scene could take place when he received P'San's call this morning.

"Congratulations on the happy reconciliation. I should get back to headquarters. I'll see you in duty on Monday, Agent Krist," stated Uncle Ben on his way out.

Ming's mother was reluctant to approach him. Of course, the last time he met her, Ming told her that he didn't need them as his parents without even knowing the whole truth. She stood a bit far from him, but her eyes were on him, and they got filled with tears.

"Ma.....," he called like the way he would call her in childhood, and that's all it took for her to bring him into her embrace.

"I'm so sorry, my child. Mama was not honest with you. I was a bad mother to you," she said as she cried her eyes out.

"I missed you, mama," replied Ming, and P'San joined their hug party.

The mothers ordered everybody to stay for dinner as well. Unlike the awkward lunch, the dinner was much merrier. Mongkat and Tad paid more attention to Uncle Krist while Uncle Krist spoiled the kids with extra food. The mothers had their fill of food and happy vibe by watching the lively scene in front of them.

P'Kit Kat was right. It is the closure he wanted all his life. Now that all the confusion got resolved, Ming can finally have a happy family. After dinner, he took his leave to rush back to the love of his life. He can't wait to share the whole scenario with his P'Kit Kat.
