Lately, It's Winter Season.

Chapter 8- To overthrow the king, you need a perfect nine (or nine in Thai card game).

"Sing"

"Sing!"

"What! Being so close to each other, why would you shout?" I turned to yell loudly at Ben, who was standing behind the bar counter while I was sitting outside.

"What the hell have you been calling for a long time? I can't hear it."

"What's wrong?"

"No, I have to ask what's wrong with you. Come to my house at three o'clock in the morning. When I get there, you keep sitting there and drinking my alcohol." He grumbled. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with work?"

"No"

"So what, quarrelled with your brother?"

"Not a quarrel."

"Well, we didn't fight because it's never good."

"Animal", I can't help but curse. Now, all I see is a picture of Tiger standing still in my mind. Since we've been together, I've just seen it. He's shaking in fear for the first time. Until I almost went in to comfort him and said, 'It's okay, don't do it anymore. I'll protect you.

"In conclusion, what happened?"

"Tonight, Tiger killed someone for the first time," I replied. The person in front of me frowned. Immediately, I said, "I'm the one who forced him."

"How old is your brother?"

"Sixteen"

"Damn, isn't it too fast?"

"I was forced to kill someone at the age of fourteen by my father with a gun at the age of fourteen," I said, "But that's me. For Tiger, it must be swift. He was holding a gun, his hands shaking, and when he shot the person, Tiger closed his eyes."

"You're still weak-hearted?"

"You know I can't be soft-hearted," I said honestly with a big sigh. Hoping to give a bad feeling that is simmering inside my chest. "Because last time, Tiger couldn't refuse. This time, it was my father who made the order. Plus, let someone keep an eye on him. If I can't force it, I will do it. "Of course, if my father were the one who did it himself, it would not be the same as me just to shoot. I remember that at the age of fourteen, I was forced to practice torture and take the truth before shooting. If it had to be hit by something like that, the Tiger would be more pitiful.

"Sigh. What should I do, Ben?"

"Hey, I think I'm hated even more."

"Ben, do you want a new job?"

"Well, I want to resign myself. I'm bored with boss Brakon, but I choose to be stubborn. It's a full pity."

"Go to hell, Ben."

"I understand that your father forced you. But I don't understand why Ming can't explain good reasons to your brother. Your relationship with him won't be this bad." Ben offered the same opinion that he had said a hundred times. "Oh, I forgot, it's not the head of the main branch of the gang. That's the next big boss, right? He can't give up."

"I'll get it." I'm ready to pour whiskey into a glass.

"Buffalo, it's worth it that you don't love."

"You can scold me however you want, Ben. But don't scold me for not loving you!" I'm ready to shout. I slap the table loudly. Ben made a mocking face.

"You don't love me! Did you hear that Tiger hates you!!" Ben was crushed. Down to the centre of my heart until it hurts. "Don't be a Tiger to do it. It's annoying!"

"You have to be on my side," I said softly, ready to raise the whiskey to drink again.

"Well, in the past, P'Sing was like that, P'Sing is like this. Now, the bastard, the animal, the dog-faced, chasing me to death every time I see you. I forgot the rice I used to chew on and feed; I forgot the milk I used to brew and drink. My diaper is the one who changed my ass; I wash it. If it's not for love, will someone do it? Please, don't tell me not to do it. I will take a leave from work and secretly go to the amusement park."

"Beg people like you. It's better to bite your tongue to death."

"I hate you so much," I turned to say irritably.

"No matter how much I hate you, it's not as much as Tiger hates you."

"I'm crushing it." I sighed, raising the liquor and drinking it all.

Kaew: "I used to tell you that when I was a child, I caught him wearing a skirt."

"I've already told the hundredth round, but you can tell me more. I want to hear it."

"When I was a child, I wanted a sister, so I dressed him in a skirt. He was so cute. It's a pity that he tore up the skirt. You've been temperamental since you were a child." I shook my head slightly when I thought of the old days and felt a sense of nostalgia.

"No wonder I was hated since I was a child."

"Stop repeating it. Do you want me to lose my heart? Huh! Let him die, Sing!" I yelled at Ben loudly. Suddenly, tears began to flow.

"Let's go again," Ben sighed in a long voice. I turned to pick up the cloth to wipe away the tears. "I want others to see the brutal mafia secretly sit and cry because you don't love yourself."

"No," I argued. "It's loving me."

"Oh, seriously, where did you get this kind of idea?"

"Encourage me," I said in a low voice, "Damn... Huh, it's my heart, Ben."

"Sigh, as for me, I'm sleepy," Ben complained before walking around the counter to sit next to him, patting his shoulder, trying to comfort him. "You must feel bad for forcing him today, right?"

"Eh"

"You've done your best, didn't you. The big boss ordered you again? What can you do? Even though you have work to do with me today? You left me because the big boss told you to go to work. You immediately offered your face to me. Even though he didn't know that you were protecting him. But at least today, your brother is safe."

"But... I had to put a gun to his head. He even begged. It's my first time. I look like I'm going to cry."

"But now it's you who calls for me," Ben said, ready to gently rub my back. It's the only one who sees this angle of mine. And it's used to me crying because of this. I don't know why. But if it's about my brother, I'll be so sensitive that I don't know what to do.

"When I got home, I took the car out. I'm not sure how he is now."

"Did you call to ask?"

"No," I answered, wiping my tears suddenly.

"He will know that I love him."

"So what the hell will it be!" Ben snorted out of emotion.

"Oh! I have a headache with stubbornness. In front of me, I like to pretend to be good. Pretend to provoke my brother's anger every day. When my brother hates me, I sit down."

"What should I do?" I replied with a sob. "It doesn't work. I don't think this kind of habit can be fixed. And if I keep comforting him all the time. How will he survive? I can't protect him for the rest of my life!"

"I always see protection. Maybe he has friends. Live like a normal child until he grows up enough. Ask the big boss not to be too strict with it in exchange for you to follow every order. That's why I told you that you have done your best."

"But it's not good enough," I said in a low voice. "I didn't get the promise to let him live like a normal person. I just said that I'll try not to force it, so he still has to work with me. Today is the same."

"It's good. At least your brother's life is better than yours used to be." Ben still tried to comfort me. "He still goes to a normal school like other children."

"I should be able to do more."

"People can't choose to be born. And your brother didn't push to be born in the family-

Mafia kitchen, what the hell can he do?"

"Eh"

There is no denying that, because he was born into a family like this, he bears a burden of responsibility, no matter how much he tries to escape. But the fact that he is the son of the big boss means that the mafia will follow him for the rest of his life, and he will not want to interfere. He can get away from the family, but no matter what, there will be someone to watch and be targeted.

At the time of being hit by an enemy with a gun to his head, he will say 'I don't interfere with that family anymore' and think that the other party will sympathise and give up his life? The only thing that will make him survive is to protect himself from being himself. He killed us because it is the world of the mafia.

Lately, I've started to worry more about Suea. The school he attends is typical. At night, I still go around alone carelessly. Probably because I'm still young. I don't understand that I'm the son of the most influential mafia gang. I let someone go to watch his safety all the time, secretly. Is it lucky?

It's good that nothing serious has happened so far. With my stubborn and unforgiving nature, I rarely speak well of him. And because of the age difference, I feel like it. Seeing the little brother angry and trying to fight back can be called spoiled. But being poked is one of my entertainments. But the bigger thing is that I have to force it to do this and that.

My agreement with my father is that he must not be very strict with Suea. Give him time to live like another child first, in exchange for me working hard without refusing or complaining. That's why it remains stubborn now. Still able to argue with my father. If I were a child, I couldn't do it at all.

It may sound unbelievable. However, Suea's childhood life is good, being the son of the house. At least it's better than me. Because I was often the one who took the punishment instead of him, at that time, when he was tied to a tree all night, it was I who went to sit and slap the mosquitoes, only to be hit until my head broke, before my father allowed me to watch secretly.

Dad never compromise with Tiger. Dad said that otherwise, he would be weak. If I give up on him, I won't let myself take care of him again. If you take care of it yourself, what Tiger gets won't be different from what I've been hit. And of course, I will never give in. So I need to be strict with him so that I can still take care of him.

"I'm all good at everything. When it comes to this brother, I can't do anything but cry." Ben started to complain again after seeing that I stopped crying.

"Huh, you don't have a younger brother who raised your own hands from the beginning of the cushion. You don't understand. Of course."

"Good, I don't want to be hated like you."

"Ben beast", I said, "Sigh, I'd rather be hated than see him more painful than this."

"I think it's so cool, asshole."

"You're cursing me. Why is it, Ben?"

"Stand this for now," Ben said, walking to get a set of documents for me. "It seems that your brother  is not going to sleep at a friend's room named Field these days."

"Huh?" I frowned in surprise, ready to open the document.

"So why did you just tell me?"

"Forget"

"Heck, go find a new job."

"Okay, then bye-bye."

"Ben, animal-faced, how to summarise? And where does he sleep if not Field Tower?"

"A new friend is a twin named Duen Nao and the North," Ben began to tell the details. I glanced at the history of the twins, "Your brother is close to a person named Duan Nao. In the football club as well, probably close to each other."

"Close? But when did my brother have only two close friends and then go to sleep at home?" I raised my eyebrows, and I couldn't believe what I had heard.

"I've been investigating the history, and something is interesting."

"What?"

"The stepfather of these two children is a member of our enemy. Now in prison."

I remained silent and didn't respond. I have read the information more carefully and concluded that the family now consists of a total of three people: mother and twins. The real father is an engineer in a private company. Died of cancer about two years ago at the age of forty-three. No history of illegality. As for the mother, she doesn't work full-time. Forty-two years old, she currently owns a la carte restaurant with no history of breaking the law.

As for the history of the two children, it is pretty. However, it is interesting that two years ago, after the birth, the father passed away, and the mother remarried almost immediately. Plus, the new husband is also a member of the Enemies with us.

"There are more interesting things."

"What"

"This winter month is rumoured to be a gang leader."

"?"

"It's just a rumour that has no evidence yet."

"What about the rumours?" I asked because I was interested.

"The big leg is in charge of the school. There are hundreds of subordinates in the school. Scattered throughout every grade of the year. I don't know how accurate the rumours are, but from a quick look, this kid has a subordinate.

Perhaps the son of a powerful man was sent to practice power control. At least one of your brothers is attached because your brother is addicted to this kid. Recently, your brother has been trying to compete for the right-hand position."

"Is this my brother? If my brother wants to be a right-hand man, it means that he must be extraordinary." I narrowed my eyes as I started to take the idea seriously. I understand that Suea doesn't want to do this. But in fact, he just wants to live differently?

Why... Because that is more influential? Or is he being tricked by it? No! I can't accept it! My brother, I raised it, but I begged you guys.

…….Who is great? Where did you come from? Take your brother away from me!!

"Plus, after your brother went to sleep at his house, he didn't go out at night again."

"Did my brother obey his orders that much?"

"I wonder if the real father died. Why did she remarry in time? Or the real father is not dead. Just hide the information. I don't care"

"Can't you find the information?"

"Well, no matter how much people hack, you can't find it." Ben frowned that the voice was serious. "It means that you have to be a very influential person."

"So the only thing that came out was a rumour."

"Well, send someone to keep an eye on this kid. Although I'm not certain, it's not just an ordinary child. Good or bad, we may get more information about that gang. Also, send the best stalker. Most importantly, don't let your father know."

"Acknowledged"

"Sigh, Tiger, Tiger. Why don't you find a friend to date someone who is normal?

Why are you messing with the danger?"

*************************

"Mom," I called out while helping her prepare things for the store in the morning. Because the shop is open at six o'clock in the morning, we have to wake up at four o'clock in the morning. We have to prepare tofu juice again. "I feel strange."

"How are you? Are you not feeling well?" Mom asked with concern.

"No, it's like... Bad intuition," I said, according to my feelings and eyebrows. Frowning tightly together, "It's like someone is plotting against the gang leader like me. It's like I'm about to be overthrown."

"So, Shall We Give Alms This Morning?"

"Good, good."

Okay, then I'll see what we can include. Mom said. Before walking back into the house, I washed the vegetables diligently. When the sun rose, I went to wake up Tiger, who was curled up on the sofa, to give alms together.

"Tiger, you're awake," I said, shaking and calling. He moaned softly in the throat like a dissatisfied "Wake up!"

"Oh, what's so loud?" The other party shouted Dissatisfied, "Is it four o'clock?"

"It's already six o'clock."

"Oh, why don't you wake me up so I can help you prepare the shop?"

"I saw you stay up late, so I let you take a break."

"Do you sleep with me?"

"Well, you can go wash your face and your eyes," I said. Let the Tiger go to wash.

Wash your face and eyes, and go outside to wait for almsgiving at the same time. "What did you put in?" Dan handed me the bag.

"Wow, it's amazing. I have to go to heaven."

"Make merit like this, I hope you can go to heaven," Suea said.

"Tiger, why are your eyes swollen?" Mom asked.

"Oh, I've been eating a lot of salty food lately."

"Reduce a little, baby, you will have kidney disease."

"Yes"

"Eat salty food," I whispered, pushing closer.

"Mom, yesterday, huh huh, it's cold, it's still chilly, my shirt is ambushing.

Your snot's tears are half a strip." I pretended to tease the Tiger, laughing.

"Buffalo, don't tease me."

I didn't have time to say anything more than that, so the monk walked closer. When he finished giving alms, he walked back into the store. Fit the customer. The first person came.

"Eh! I was surprised," It was Mag, the same face. "Why me?

I saw Ger again. Did you secretly hit the back of my kitchen?"

"It's shit. Instead of hitting the back of the kitchen, it's better to hit you in the face." The Tiger said. That made me not help but laugh. "Go sit down and don't stand and watch. If it's messy, it's ridiculous. If it's not ironic, go out."

"Good job, Tiger." I gave him a thumbs up. Mag frowned. Immediately suspicious.

"Why do I have more people blocking the path of love?"

"No one supports you," I added. The other party followed. Untrustworthy "What are you doing?"

"Or.. Ger! Do you like my boyfriend?"

"Huh?" The Tiger immediately turned to look at Mag. What I heard made me freeze.

Go with "What's wrong with you, retard?"

"Tiger... You," I said in a low voice, starting to look at it with distrustful eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tiger... You bastard."

"Cold" Mag came closer and leaned towards me. "Why did someone like Tiger come to cling to you like a leech if it wasn't for the reason why he likes the north, don't you think so? Additionally, he's still trying to discourage me. Why? Because he  likes the north!"

"I never thought about it," I shook my head. "But now I'm starting to think...Tiger!"

"What! Let's go big!" Then, other customers began to arrive gradually. I want to ask for more, but there is no chance. It's good that Mom and Dan are busy in front of the store. Probably won't hear the three of us talking just now. When it's almost time for school, we will come out of the store.

"Tiger, you're here." I pulled Suea's arm to let him walk close to me instead of walking close to Dan. Tilting closer and whispering, "Dog face, don't let me know that you like my brother. I'll secretly take a lighter to put your hair on fire when you sleep."

"Can you not get hit by Mag? I didn't get anything."

"What Mag said sounds reasonable. From the beginning, I didn't doubt, but now I'm starting to wonder. This is your ingenious plan... Is it?"

"What the hell are you so clever? You said it wasn't."

"Stop denying it, Tiger. I know my brother is so cute. It's hard to resist. I don't get anything if Dan is okay with you. But I can tell you that the love path between you and Dan is not so easy. I will stay as a thorn to stab your heart forever."

"You said your brother is cute. It means you're cute too." Because the two of us kept walking at the end, Dan was suspicious and turned to look at us.

"What are you gossiping about, Dan asked.

"No," I quickly replied, "It's you, right?"

"Huh, yes, no one is gossiping about the north."

"Oh, okay, then you two hurry up and walk, you won't be able to wait in line."

"Sure," I smiled sweetly back. Then, they turned to make a sound.

"Because I see you're not that bad, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

"No, I don't want any chance."

"Huh, I'll say you don't see my head at all."

"What the hell?"

"Why do you say you don't want a chance from me? It means you don't see my head, Dan's brother, right?" I put my index finger on his upper arm.

"Listen to me carefully, brother. One is that I am the closest person to Dan."

"Second, I know what Dan likes or dislikes. I make you able to enter. Close to the border or let the border move away from you."

"It is.... It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Are you still overlooking me?" I slammed into him while still whispering and pulling his arm closer to listen to me.

"I tried my best to give you a chance because I saw that you were not like everyone else. But you still chose to give up that opportunity? Are you really stupid, you idiot?"

"Why do I have to be scolded?"

"Suea, please be serious. My brother's heart is not a toy."

"Wow, it's cold." The Tiger suddenly stopped walking, causing me to stop walking. He grabbed both of my shoulders and shook them vigorously. "Me! No! Yes! I like the north!

Do you understand!!"

"Oh, okay, stop shaking your head."

"Uh! You will never know about it!"

"Who knows, I'm even more easily hit by people."

"Well, you're stupid."

"Hey, why are you running?" I asked in shock when, suddenly, the person next to me

started running, so I rushed to follow.

"The bell is ringing, motherfucker! Hurry up, you'll be late for checking."

"Shea, Tiger! Wait for me too."

In the evening, it's time to practice for the club. I still feel the same good intuition as before. Even though I've made merit and sent the water pebbles. But who is that person still thinking badly of me anyway? Who is it? Are you a karma? It's so much that you won't. Do you want to make merit?

"What's wrong with the cold, making a tense face?" Tiger asked.

"I think I've been booked. Very spiteful, I can feel the killing spirit. Severe"

"Huh?"

"I haven't had a good intuition since this morning. Making merit doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all." I said, according to my feelings, and I held on to the thigh area. "I'm telling the truth. And my intuition is also right. Is it good to find some free time to make merit again?"

"Well, it's okay, um... Or is it another Defence coming to your event?"

"It's possible." I frowned more tightly than before. "Who dares to challenge? My dark power, our gang is not inferior to anyone."

"Your glorious rust"

"Huh, I told you not to call my gang our gang," I turned to smile. "How do you and this guy summarise? Do you know who will be my right hand?"

"I didn't intend to fight since I knew the name of the gang."

"The weak one is just a jockey at the end of the row."

"Well, I want to be just a joke. Support unit"

"Well, then, you will apply to the school. Do you see him open for enrolment? Test your fitness next week.

"I don't know, I'm not sure, what about you?"

"Apply," I said. "I don't think I'm going to catch the black and red cards anyway."

"Well, then I'll apply."

"Well, let's practice together."

"Eh"

"Tiger"

"Rai"

"In conclusion, do you really like my brother?"

"How can you say you don't like him?"
