chapter 1 - vegas


i look at myself in the mirror , as i brush my teeth . 

'haa..how can someone look as good as me.'  i breath out lightly, as i put my toothbrush back in it's place .

"thats called narcissism" my roomate says, as he lets himself in the bathroom, and picks up his own toothbrush .

'tsk' i say annoyed. 

that's kinn. my cousin and  roomate. kinn's dad takes care of me and macau after my father's death. and i lost my mother at a very young age. 
kinn's father has a large scale industry. from fashion line, to the cinema industry . he also owns many famous resturants and had a huge franchise in the name of his son, kinn,  who would inherit it all. 

"shut up and come down to eat breakfast" i said, before walking downstairs .

we weren't this close before, as my dad used to compare macau and myself, with him all the time.
but after kinn's dad took us under him, our vision of this family changed. maybe khun was still as crazy and kim is still as much of a prick he was before, but they weren't that bad. 

"khun vegas goodmorning " the maids greet .
"morning " i greet them back .

i sit down on the chair and one of the maids puts the breakfast infront of me while the other one pours me some water .

"kinn is coming down in a while , serve his plate too" i said and they nod back at me . 

in a few seconds , kinn come down and settles infront of me. chewing his food, as he smiled to himself like a creep. 

"why are you smiling like that? something good happened?" i asked 

"no . but it will " he says and turns his expression back into a pokerface

"oh yeah? what?"  i ask. chewing my food. 

"i am going to confess to him. today ." he said in a serious tone.

*cough *cough*

i almost choked on my food. 

"confess? what? who? " i asked 

"well there's this guy... " he started 

"blah blah blah ... porsche. .blah blah"  he was spouting gibberish .

ugh he keeps rambling on and on.
i shouldnt have asked.

i already knew he liked someone, since, for a couple of weeks he's been acting weird . like a fool in love .
he would smile at his phone, would jump if there was a single notification, was always day dreaming and all those things. 

"we are going to be late" i said and stood up to put my plate away . 
kinn followed .

he goes to his car while i walk up to my bike . 

before i can get into my bike he stops me and says "can u pass this letter to him? i have some preparations to do ."  and hands me an envelope.

"this is so old fashion. just message him or something" i  reply.

"well his friend said he likes things like this" kinn said, grinning sheepishly.

"what? no! give it to him yourself!"  i said

"see i am getting late, i promise i will pay you back for this favour" kinn pleads.

"ugh fine but you owe me a big one!" i snatch the letter from his hand as he yells a thank you and runs off inside his car.

"i will message you the class he is in later!" he yells from his car .

'stupid ass.'  i say under my breath, as i put my helmet on and drive off.

--------

i was in the second year . while kinn was in the third, we both were in business major, but i did switch some classes later.
we still do meet when we have some classes together .

*DING*

i get kinn's message to proceed with the plan.

who the hell likes this kind of old fashioned confession these days?

ugh whatever , i will just pass this letter on and go .

i reach kinn's department . he's probably skipping classes right now to 'prepare' the surprise .

"oh nong what brings you here?" a senior asks.
 (nong is used for people who are younger than us)

"swadee phi, i actually wanted to pass this letter onto someone" i say and give her the letter .

"there is no name here nong" she replies looking up.

i take the letter from her, and she was right. there's no name on it.
i am going to murder kinn.

i tried calling him but he wasnt picking up. i tried messaging him too, but to no avail.

i sighed and turned to the senior again. 

"uh phi is there anyone named p..something with p" i say, not being able to remember kinn's crush's name.

i cant belive a handsome guy like me is running errands like this.

"there are some but it will be hard to guess" the senior says.

"ah, the one i want to pass it to is a guy" i say . it will make it easier to find him right?

the senior seems to be looking around and counting in her head.

"ohh there are two of them nong" she replies.

i give a sigh of relief .

"give this letter to the one who looks cuter" i pass the letter to her again and walk off while looking at the time, since i was getting late for classes.

 i said 'cuter' since kinn's all past lovers were mostly in that category. so i know his tastes .

i wonder how his confession will go.

-------------
--[KINN'S POV]--

i asked vegas for a favour since me, tay and time were busy setting up the rooftop of the campus building. this university is funded by my father and thus the principal doesnt really mind as long as its not harming anyone. 

me and time were decorating the rooftop with lights, balloons and candles. while tay went to bring the cake and a bouquet of flowers.

hah... i am a bit nervous.

vegas is on his way to help me out as well.

i hope everything goes alright.

--------

(2 and a half hours later)

"vegas are you sure you gave the letter to him?" i asked him, annoyed.

"i am sure he got the letter kinn" vegas says sighing.

"then why the hell is he not here yet!? its been 2 hours!" i yelled at him.

"how the fuck would i know!? you should have given him the letter then! or for fuck's sake a fucking message!" vegas yells back.

"calm down guys we are all frustrated right now." tay says.

"how do i calm-" i got cut off.

*RING RING*

i picked up the call.

"oh porsche. uh-huh. yeah sure wait for me." i cut the call.

porsche says we should go home together.i guess he didnt get the letter. fuck you vegas.

but its ok, i think this is my chance.

"you dumbass you didnt give him any letter or maybe gave it to the wrong person" i yell at him .

vegas just rolls his eyes.

"ugh whatever. hey pass me that flower bouquet, tay you hold the cake and come with me, time you come with the party poppers and balloons, and vegas you stay back and clean this mess." i say and run out with tay and time following me behind.

--[END OF KINN POV]--

(BACK TO VEGAS POV)

did they just leave me here to clean their mess?! wow the nerve. i mean its not my fault . he should have given the letter himself.

ugh. i am going to kill them when they are back.

i look at the mess around me and sigh.

well.. lets get this over with.

i start cleaning and puting everything on the trash bags.

*CREAKK...*

I hear the door opening.

"hey you guys are so late help me clean-..." i look in that direction and its not kinn. its someone else.

he seems to be around the same height as me. 
dark black hair, with bangs. glasses that compliment his face structure.

but his face is a bit dim because theres not much light in here.

getting out of my thoughts, i slowly stand straight. i dont know why but i suddenly felt concious of myself.

he looks around and sighs.

huh? why did he sigh??

"i cant believe you were still waiting for me.. i doubted it, but i guess you proved me wrong." he says, rubbing his temples and sighing again.

"what do you.." i asked in confusion.

"i am sorry. but i dont like you." he says out of nowhere.

what the fuck is he on about?

he then takes out the love letter kinn asked me to give and places it on the ground.

"please dont do this next time. i hope there are no ill feelings between us after this." he says and proceeds to leave.

wait does he think i was the who confessed to him!?

"wait what!? no wait it wasn't me, but my cousin!" i yell from a distance.

he turns and sighs again.

"rejection is just a part of life. i hope you take it in a positive way and move on." he says and leaves.

what in the ted talk is he giving me a speech about accepting rejection!?

he doesn't believe me!? does he think i actually like him or what!?

 who the fuck does he think he is to reject me!?

i cant believe i just got rejected by someone i didn't even like in the first place! 

and what the hell is up with him, he keeps sighing like i am the problem here! 

i take out my phone and go through the group chat and find that senior from kinn's class who passed on the letter.

'phi can you tell me the name of the guy you gave the letter to? i just wanted to make sure'  i typed and pressed sent.

i wonder what your name is...
