I want to express my gratitude because my first baby 'Second Chance' is thriving and the views keep increasing. Yeyyyy, and I'm still in the ranking even after all these months😀❤. Thank you🙏. Now let's get back to the story.

Yo opened and closed his mouth like a fish, he have no idea on how to proceed. He has just been caught beating his idol's brother. He was 100% sure now that he will be fired and maybe escorted out of the building by securities. Luckily, it was Pha who spoke up. He composed himself and asked in his neutral voice, "what are you doing here?"

His father took a step further, looking at Yo, " I'm here to discuss about your scandal. I was going to ask you how did you let this happen when you are always so careful but here I can see that worst is happening. Be thankful that there are no paparazzi around, else your hard earned reputation would been been flushed down the toilet for eternity."

Yo swallowed fearfully, if he thought that Pha was frightening then his father was the king of demon. The way he speaks, his tone and his face all indicated one thing, 'don't mess with me'. Yo could now understand from where Pha got his trait, even P'Forth for that matter. However, Pha wasn't affected, he kept his neutral face on and said dismissly, "you don't need to worry about that. I took care of it already and what happened just now is only between me and my employee."

Pha went back to his desk and sat down in front of his computer. Yo was left standing awkwardly like an idiot. He scratched his head when he feel P'Forth gaze on him and he jumped about a foot high when he heard his rugged voice, "where you just beating Pha or did our eyes deceived us? Never anyone has dared to lift a hand on him, not even our parents."

Yo could feel the judgemental look of Pha's father on him but Forth was not judging him, in fact he appeared to be holding a smile so Yo shrugged his shoulders sheepishly and replied the first thing that came into his mind, "he....he fired me that's why!"

Pha lifted his head up sharply as his father scowl. Forth looked taken back, he looked at him in surprised, "fired you? Was it because you threw food on him?"

His father cut in, "that still doesn't explain why you were attacking him like a jilted lover. He is elder to you, you must respect him. I have never encounter someone so disrespectful to his elders."

Yo pouted and looked down, "well, it's called getting fired in style. He fired me and I refuse to go out silently so I gave him something that he will remember for life."

Mr Kongthanin shook his head as he muttered, "youngsters nowadays. This is what happen when your parents refuse to put severe on you from a young age itself."

Pha was still speechless, he can't believe that Yo turned the situation to this. Yo looked back at him sneakily and winked, enraging him further. Forth came forward and ruffled his hair, "silly boy. You are obviously too spoiled but I can understand why. I will miss you, be sure to come and visit me sometime ok? And I guess we will keep meeting each others at families function and all."

Yo blushed a deep red, he was light headed from Forth's proximity. He threw himself at a surprised Forth and bursted out, "ohhh how I will miss you too P. You are my idol and.."

He was cut in by a snarled, "WAYO!"

He looked back and shouted, "WHAT?"

Pha was glaring at him as he burned with jealousy at the sight of Yo in Forth's arms.

Yo felt Forth stiffened and looked up at him. He looked surprised at his and Pha's interaction. Even his dad was looking at them wide-eyed. He guessed that nobody has talked to Pha this way either, he guessed he was doing a lot of first time with him afterall. Before Pha could say anything more he waved a hand dismissly, "ok ok I get it. You want me out. I'm going, no need to be angry."

Yo took his bag and walked purposely towards the clean dustbin. He dished out his jacket and shaked it up, all the while looking at Pha defiantly.

He then turned towards his father, "I am very sorry for the trouble that I have caused you sir. It was not my intention and I hope that you will forgive me." Next he turned to Forth and changed his voice into sweet candy, "P'Forth, thank you for your kind words and...and you are very warm and smell good.." He blushed red as he said the last part.

Forth looked surprised then bursted out in laughter, "thank you for your compliments dear nong. I really hope to you see rising to your father's level and to take his position one day." Yo nodded and smirked at Pha, who looked close to bursting a vein. He obviously lied about the 'fired' part because he knew Pha wouldn't let him go. Now Pha was helpless against his family, he can't stopped him physically like he was used to so Yo made used of this opportunity to disappear quickly from his office. He bid farewell to RoseBelle and run like hell until he reached safely outside. Hailing a taxi he went straight home and passed his surprised mother.

"Yo?"

Yo sighed and turned around, "what mum?"

"Why are you home so early?"

"I got fired." He muttered under his breath and went straight to his room.

Flopping down in his bed, he started to think about what he was going to do with his life now, maybe another cruise? To the Carribbean, that sounds great! He was about to call Ming when he suddenly remembered that Ming can't come with him because he has his classes to attend to. Pouting he sat crossed legs on his bed and tried to think of another distraction. Coming up with nothing he finally decided to go shopping but at a different mall this time. He dialled Ming,

"Let's go shopping Ming."

"Yo, i bunked classes yesterday, I can't today. Attendance count for the final results."

"My dad will have a talk with your administration."

"Ok cool. See you in 10."

Yo got up happily and when downstairs whistling, he was proud of himself for outsmarting Pha and he refuse to let the thought of never seeing him again cloud his short moment of happiness.

"What do you mean you have been fired?" His mother asked him as soon as he came downstairs.

"Later mum. Love you." He went out quickly and signalled his driver.

He took a deep breath once he arrived at the mall, just the sight itself managed to calm him. It was astounding what the smell of new clothes and greasy food can do to him. He stepped excitingly into a chic boutique exclusively for male.

He was browsing the sections as he wait for Ming when suddenly,

"Yo man," Ming hugged him from the back, startling him.

"Shit, you scared me."

"Why? Did you think it was your boss?"

Yo glared at him, "don't you dare mention him again. I want to have a free day without hearing his name. I want this day to pass stress free for me because I had enough drama in the morning."

Ming's face turned sad, "why? What happened?"

"I fired myself, but not before he told me that he wants me as his mistress! Can you imagine, he is going on with his wedding but at the same time he wants to bed me."

"Fuck Yo, that's messed up! It's good that you escaped from him. Let him be, no more talks on him. Come on let's waste your dad's money."

Yo nodded, he morosely followed behind Ming but his mood changed drastically again as he got absorbed in shopping.

"Ming, which one? The red one or the white one?" He was holding two shirts up for Ming to choose.

"I don't know Yo, try them and see which one goes best with you. I will be in the shoe section in the meanwhile."

Yo entered in the cubicle and tried the red one first, then he came outside to see himself in the full length mirror. Not liking it too much he entered again to try the white one.

This one is better, he smiled to himself as he turned this way and that in front of the mirror. As he was changing back into his clothes he got a notification.

Unlocking his mobile, he found a new message from an unknown number, "the white one."

What the...

He looked around him but he was still in the cubicle changing. He scrolled through his last messages and saw that this new number was different from that of Pha's. Could it be him or someone else? A chill ran from the middle of his shoulder to the tip of his toes. Someone was definitely watching him, maybe it was Ming who texted him from a new number...

Assuring himself that it must be Ming he went out in search of him. He found him trying on shoes, "hey bud."

Ming glanced up in surprise, "hey, did you finish?"

"Errr, no. Have you by any chance got a new number?"

Ming looked puzzled, "no why?"

" It's nothing, I was just asking."

Yo went back to the counter to pay, he was going to choose the white one but since a creep just texted him, he purposely chose the red one, he will give it to his brother later on since red goes well with him. Thanking the cashier, he bid her goodbye and went in search of Ming again. As he was walking he opened his shopping bag to drop his wallet in it but he nearly screamed when he caught sight of what was inside. He stumbled to a stop and barely avoided colliding against a pregnant woman. Apologising profusely, he continued on his way and peaked again inside cautiously.

No, it didn't disappeared, it was still there. Reaching out a finger he touched it to see whether it was real or his imagination. Nestled against his red shirt was a single beautiful black rose. Looking around frantically, he scanned his surroundings as he searched for Pha because it has to be him. It can't be a coincidence.

Ming came and dragged him to the salon for a haircut. Once there Ming was busy debating about his hair style while Yo was burning a hole in his shopping bag. He was startled by the sounds of fingers snapping in front of his face. He found Ming looking at him weirdly, "I swear ever since you have known P'Pha, you have become even weirder. What happened to you? Why are you glaring at that poor bag?"

He shook his head dumbly, Ming looked at him for a few more seconds then shrugged, he went back to talk to his stylish but halfway through he stopped and called out, "wanna try a new colour Yo?"

Yo's head snapped up at the mention. He was dying to dye his hair, back then he used to do so every few months but now that he was working he had to restrict his dramatic hair colours because they were not appropriate for office. He was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered that he was no longer working. Ginning cutely, he ran to Ming and shouted in his ear, "Hell yes!"

Ming pushed him away complaining about his eardrums. Yo took the colour magazine and sat down, he wanted to do a deep brown with red reflects.

One notification

It was his phone, another message came in, " keep your hair colour because you are getting back in my office tomorrow morning."

He let the phone drop like it was infected. He glanced around suspiciously but there was no Pha in sight. What was happening? Was he stalking him now? Maybe he was watching him from the cameras around or maybe recording his voice. That was very creepy, Yo got the chills just thinking about it and he started checking himself in case there was really a micro chip on him. There was really no limit to Pha's madness that's why he wasn't taking any chances. And who was he to tell him to get back to his office? He has just been fired for god sake! Let the poor Yo enjoy his free days at least. Huffing, he debated for a while before taking a rebellious decision. He stalked purposely to the hair dresser and told him his colour of choice.

"Are you sure Yo?" Ming asked him.

He nodded with conviction, "yes."

One hour later they emerged from the salon like two heroes in a movie, with smug smiles and hair on fleek. Ming was looking very handsome with his million dollars hair cut and Yo was looking like a manga character with his pink hair. He was regretting his impulsive decision when they were applying his pale pink colour but when he saw the final result he was very satisfied. He was looking like a pink candy with his baby doll pink hair.

Everyone's eyes were on them as they strolled leisurely to the food court, some was even taking pictures. Yo was blushing adorably in all pictures while Ming was giving his signature lopsided smile. Yo went to find some dessert for them while Ming went to buy them lunch like usual.

He approached the dessert counter and looked around delightfully.

"Ohh my god you are so cute." The girls behind the counter were giggling and squealing at him. Yo gave them an embarrassed smile before choosing his dessert and paying. They promised to deliver him his dessert in 5minutes.

He went back to his table and immediately fell into deep reflection. He can't understand his heart, one minute he wanted to go away from Pha and forget him but the next minute he craved him like an addict. Even now he wished that he was still at the office watching his boss work. He got distracted when one of the girls deposited his desserts in front of him, "enjoy and thank you for buying from our store."

Yo nodded distractingly, he searched for Ming and found him still in line waiting. Too impatient to wait for him, he opened the box convincing himself that he will take only one bite. Hopping to find the tiramisu that he ordered, he was stunned to find a cheesecake but what shocked him more was the black rose on top of it, clearly sending the message from whom it was from.

Lifting the black rose, he looked captivatingly at the cheesecake which has a thin layer of glaze on top of it, matching the colour of his hair. He looked at the store brand and took in a sharp breath, it was from the same store that he ordered a cheesecake from and eat the whole of it in Pha's office. He remembered saying to Pha that he liked it and he had even ordered one to bring home to his parents.

One notification

He glanced sharply at his phone on the table. With his heart beating loudly in his ears he opened the new message,

"I will never let you go. I will haunt your every dream and follow your every footsteps. You won't be able to forget me because I won't let you so come back to me baby."

Author's note:

For those hating on Pha, don't forget that this book is about obsession and this is what obsession make you do, at least according to my story 😉. Until next update my lovelies ❤
