CHAPTER 27

TIN

We come out from the room and follow my dad closely. It will be better for us to meet him before we enter the dining hall so we won't need to make up a story to Vel's family about why we didn't find my dad.

"Dad! There you are..." I called for him at the last corridor to the dining hall.

My dad turned around and smiled at us "Oh, why did you two here? I thought you were already at the dining hall."

"We are looking for you." I said.

"Oh, some guests unexpectedly came, so I went to meet them, they are gone now." said my dad still with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, that's what we were told, that's why we are looking for you."

"I want to apologize sir, for coming late." Vel said while bowing politely"This dinner is for us, we should come before my parents and the host arrive at the dining hall."

It looked like he tried to shift the conversation from 'the guest' so my dad won't suspect us of hearing his conversation. That is unnecessary actually, it won't become a problem even if my dad actually knows. I was hiding because I didn't want to meet my uncle and grandma.

"Oh, it's ok, you're not late at all, the dinner hasn't even started yet." said my dad with a smile on his face "Let's go have our dinner, the chef is cooking a really delicious meal tonight."

Then the three of us walk together to the dinning hall.

The dinner went on really well, as expected. It's all just formality after all. The parents talk about us, mostly. Vel's parents said he will start teaching at one of their universities tomorrow. My dad expressed his disappointment that Vel can be at the same office with me anymore, but still encouraged him for his new job.

I have had this kind of polite formal dinner a lot all my life. People always want to appear as good as they can in front of my dad and this kind of dinner will become the place where they show off about how posh and high class they are. They never tell the truth and always say good and flattering things which will bore me to death.

I live my whole life pretending to be something I don't and it makes me sick when I have to watch other people do the same thing for the whole night. Thankfully this time we only have Vel and his family, not a whole bunch of the so-called high class Alphas who only want to lick my dad's ass.

I hate most people in this world, especially fake people, but I don't hate Vel's family. As long as I know them, they are ok people. They don't show off their wealth and status too much and from what I see, they genuinely care and love each other. For that reason, this dinner is not so bad.

I just hope it will end sooner so I can go back home and hug my Vel to sleep.

"Can I know, sir, what kind of ability you have?" Vel, suddenly ask that question in the middle of our dessert.

"Oh, I'm a mimic." said my dad while scooping his dessert "It's actually a very lame ability."

I want to ask why he out of nowhere asked that question to my dad. But I know it's not the right time and just let them have their conversation.

"How can it's lame? You can copy other people's ability right, sir?"

"Yes, but it's only when I'm in close proximity with them, for example at this moment, I can have your telepathic ability and Tin's mind control ability but the moment you two leave this house I can't have it anymore."

"That's actually so cool." said Jade suddenly joining the conversation too "So if you are inside a room full of people with abilities you can have all of their abilities?"

My dad giggled a bit "Not really, I can always choose whether I want to copy someone's ability or not. Like right now, I choose to not copy Vel's and Tin's ability because I don't feel like I need it."

"That's still cool though." said Jade again.

"Well, thank you. Nong Jade."

Jade somehow looks like she's blushing because of my dad's 'thank you'. What is wrong with this teenage Omega?

"Will the other person realize if you copy their ability?" Vel asked again, it looks like he's still not done with the conversation about my dad's ability.

"I don't think so because my ability didn't really affect other's ability. Like when you copy a paper, you make another version of that paper but don't really reduce the quality of the original paper. That's what my ability does."

Vel nodded his head lightly like saying he understood what my dad was saying.

"Well, it's nice to know something new about your future in-law, right son?" said Vel's mom quickly, like she wanted to stop Vel from asking more about this topic because she thinks it's not really appropriate, which I actually kinda agree with.

She then changed the subject of conversation to my dad's recent art collection. How it was such a masterpiece.

Vel didn't try to ask more about my dad's ability and busying himself with his dessert.

The dinner closed with my dad giving his official courtship request to Vel's family. Vel's mom as his legal guardian, then signs the request with the word 'accepted' written on it. Tomorrow morning this piece of paper will be in every printed and online newspaper in this county. Officially announcing to the world that I, with the blessing of my family, is officially courting Vel, with the blessing of his family, in an intention to marry him.

This, whatever logic I tried to use, still feels so ridiculous and ancient. It sounds like both our families are signing a contract to give up their sons. Well, marriage also feels like that, but at least marriage is between the two of us. While this has to bring along our family and parents when we both are healthy and able adults.

And what is the use of 'official courtship' status? We already fuck to have a baby while we were only on 'dating' status. So what's the use of all of these extra steps? Shouldn't we just get married now?

But again, it's all what Vel wants, if he wants to follow the Old Value then we will follow it. It doesn't bring any effect in our relationship anyway. We will still have sex everyday whatever official status we are in. Just now, everyone in the society knows that the most eligible Enigma in the country is already taken.

After the dinner ended, Vel's family are excusing themselves first. Me, Vel and my dad take them to the front door and wave to them when they leave.

When me and Vel were about to excuse ourselves, my dad suddenly said to me "Can we talk for a moment?"

I look at him confused, then to Vel.

"It's ok, you can talk to your father, I'll wait." said Vel.

"You should wait in my room." I told him "The maids can bring you there."

"Ok." said Vel with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's just a small talk, we won't be long." said my dad before leading me to his office.

I saw a maid taking Vel upstairs to my room before I turned to get into my dad's office.

"Were you outside the door when I had a conversation with the guests?" asked my dad the moment he closed the office door.

Of course he knows, and I'm not even surprised my dad knows. I don't even have the intention to hide it from him.

"Yes." I said truthfully.

"Was Vel also with you?"

"Yes"

"And you let him hear it?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Because I don't see the need to hide this fact from him."

My dad smiled hearing my reason "You do, trust him that much don't you?"

"I do, and also..." I just realized with all my frustration this past week, I haven't even told my dad about the most important thing "Vel already found out that I'm the Thumb Collector."

My dad's eyes widened when he heard my last sentence "What? How? Did you tell him?"

"I didn't tell him, he just found out by himself."

My dad's eyes got wider. "He found out himself?" he chuckles then added "He really is a good profiler, isn't he?"

"He is."

"Then how did you convince him to stay with you?"

"Well, a lot of shouts, some slap, some broken phone, some rope, and basically he said he's not really against what the Thumb Collector did, he's more angry because I lied to him and tried to trick him. So I promise him I won't kill or hurt people again if he wants to stay with me, and he agrees."

My dad blinked a couple of times trying to understand all the things that I just said, but then he laughed and said "I believe there's still a lot of details in that story but let's not hear it."

"It's probably better for you to not hear the details."

"But, is he really willing to accept you? even after he found out about your hobby?"

I smiled proudly and said "Yes, he is."

"Wow..." my dad looks amazed but also happy "I'm happy for you son, he's really a perfect choice to be your pair."

"He really is."

"There's nothing more I want than for you to find your perfect pair, so you can have the perfect family with alot of children like me and your papa are supposed to have."

"Yeah... we are in the middle of trying to get the 'alot of children' part."

"You don't need to rush, your aunt tells me you both have already made a lot of progress."

"We... might accidentally rush it a little bit."

He laughed again "You both are young and healthy, there's still a lot of time to have children, but I hope you can have a lot of them. You are my only child, after all, I only can hope from you to give me a lot of grandchildren."

I laugh too "I can't promise you how many, because he and I have different opinions about how many children we should have."

"Just have one first, and decide on the rest after that."

"Well... Vel also said a similar thing."

"Totally agree with him, and... when you finally have your children, I will be very happy to help you take care of them, of course."

I smiled and said "Thanks, dad I really appreciate that."

My dad, since the day I was born in this world, is the only person I can fully trust and rely on, and I don't think that will ever change.

"I'm just glad the whole thing with the 'Thumb Collector' problem finally got solved. We have nothing to worry about now."

"Uhm... yeah, about that..."

That's not 100% true, we still have Ping who is still eager to find the Thumb Collector and I have to tell my dad about him.

VEL

Tin's room just screams psychopath on so many levels. It's very clean, it's very organized, there's nothing that looks personal on display, no trophies, no pictures, no poster from some movies or some bands, everything also looks so minimalistic and functional.

It is actually very similar to his room at his personal home, but he only lives there for a few years when he's already a grown up adult. While this room is his childhood room, he grew up in this room, and feeling the atmosphere in this room, with no personal touch in it, feels somehow really eerie.

I was looking around, trying to find something I could do in this room, when I found a photo album on a shelf at the corner of the room. Someone probably put this here, it looks so dusty and old.

I open it and immediately feel awed. It's a baby Tin photo album. He looks just like the one dr. Jill shows me. It was his picture from when he was newborn up until he's 1 year old. There's writings on the pics to tell how old he was when the pictures were taken. Tin already can walk when he's 5 months old, learn to write at 8 months old, and finish a rubix cube at 1 years old.

And at the very back of the album is the picture of his late papa holding the newborn Tin on his arm. Even just from this picture I can see how unwell he was. He looks so pale and weak. His eyes looked sad even when he tried to smile. He must already know that he won't live to see his son grow up.

Khun Jack probably is the one who put this album here. Hoping his son will look back to his own growth and remember his late papa. I feel sad seeing how this album is just sitting here collecting dust, while Tin never even touched it.

I opened the album from the front again to see the pictures for the second time. By then I realize, baby Tin just suddenly stops being a smiley baby by the age of 1 month, probably even before that. I flipped the pages and compared the picture of baby Tin before and after he turned 1 month old. Before 1 month old, he was smiling in almost all of the pictures. Even the newborn Tin looked almost like smiling when he was held by his papa. But after that he didn't make any expression, just flat, the baby version of his current resting bitch face.

How is this even possible? Did he suddenly develop psychopathy after he turned 1 month old? But by theory and by all scientific research that has ever been done by human beings, that's not possible. When someone is born as a psychopath, they will become a psychopath their whole life and will die as one too, nothing can change that, so what is this?

Is he really misdiagnosed? Am I wrongly diagnosing him? I'm sure I'm not.

He is arrogant, manipulative, selfish, doesn't have even just a drop of empathy in himself, killing people as a hobby and has no remorse about it. Yet, he also so calm, collected, confident and charming.

But his recent change of behavior also confuses me. He's so afraid of losing me that he goes against all of his natural traits to make me forgive him. That's so not psychopathic.

Could he be not a psychopath but something else? There is a possibility for that.

It could be another Antisocial Personality Disorder, or even Narcissistic Personality Disorder. But people with those disorders will display their victims to the public because they need recognition and admiration. Their crime won't stay hidden for 11 years. His calmness and confidence also don't really fit those disorders traits.

So, what is this? What is he?

Then there's also his father. Why did he lie to me about his ability?

I ask about his ability during dinner because I can feel someone else using telepathy on me during dinner. I know it wasn't my family, none of them are specials. And it sure wasn't Tin because I know he wasn't a telepath. So Khun Jack is my only suspect.

I probably can't see his mind or feel his feelings but I always know when other telepaths are trying to read my mind. It's more like a survival instinct to me and it's never wrong. That's why I blatantly ask him about his ability, even though I know it's not really appropriate.

And he lied. He lied about not copying my ability, while he's been trying to read my mind and probably the mind of everyone in my family too. Why?

It is probably because he wants to secretly see what we really think, to make sure my family didn't have ulterior motives toward his family. After all, his relationship with his in-law wasn't so good, so he probably wants to make sure his son won't get an in-law like his.

But, still even with that reason, I don't feel at ease at all. His expression when lied to us looks so convincing and natural, like he gets used to lying. And somehow it shattered the image of the kind and trustworthy Khun Jack that I have in my mind.

Also, why can't I read his mind? Is it because he's an Enigma? But I read an Enigma's mind before, so why can't I read both Tin and his father? Is it a hereditary thing? OR... Is he also a psychopath?

I scoff to myself when that thought comes to my mind. That's definitely too much of a stretch from my side. I probably don't know him too well, but I know for sure he doesn't have any psychopath traits at all. The way he takes care of his son, the way he talks about his late husband, the way he loves both his late husband and son, no psychopath will be able to do all of that.

"Ready to go home?" Tin's voice suddenly heard from behind me.

I turned around and saw him standing at the door.

"Oh, you found my baby photo album?" he said, seeing what I hold in my hands.

"Looks like seeing your baby pictures will be my new favorite things." I said.

He smiled "Be careful, looking at them too much and our baby will all look like me."

"That's not how genetics works." I said while putting the photo album back to its place.

He laughed, "You can bring the album home if you want, I never open them anyway."

"Just as I thought, it's so dusty just sitting here untouch."

"Reminiscing about the past is never my thing."

"Hmmm, that totally sounds like you." I took out the photo album and opened it at the last page where his picture with his papa is placed. "Is it really ok to bring it home?"

"Yeah, at least it won't just stay here untouch."

"Then it's coming with us."

I hug it on my chest as we walk out from the room to the front door. At the front door we meet Khun Jack who looks at the photo album with a faint smile.

"You found the baby album." he pointed at the album on my hand.

"Oh, yes, sir, Tin said it's ok for me to bring it home with us."

"Let him look at my baby pictures everyday and we'll probably have babies that all look like me." said Tin, I nudged his ribs lightly with my elbow for his naughty comment.

Khun Jack laughs but I still can see a little sadness in his eyes "Take care of it. His picture with his papa in that album is the only picture we have."

"Oh..." so that's why he looks sad.

"Take care of it, so your children can see that picture too."

"Thank you, sir."

We excuse ourselves and go home. In the car, I can't hold myself to not immediately ask Tin.

"What are you talking about with your dad?"

"Oh, I told my dad that you already know about the fact that I'm the Thumb Collector."

"Huh?" I look at him in disbelief "Then what he said?"

"Well, he asks me how you find out, and how you react, but in the end he is just glad you are still willing to be with me. He said you are really perfect for me"

"Hmm..." I still don't know how to react, it came late for me to realize that his dad knows about this all along, how far he knows? I am still not sure "Did your dad always know?"

"He kinda did, the moment I started showing my psychopathy, both of us tried our best to make me suppress it. When I killed my first target I tried to hide it from him but he found out anyway. I was seriously thinking he would kill me, but he chose to help me instead. He was the one who gave me the files of my first few targets, he was also the one who gave me my hobby home."

This information surprised me. I know Khun Jack surely knows about his son's 'hobby', but I don't expect him to be so involve.

"Then how about Chen? Did you make some kind of deal with him?"

"My dad did. He knows that Chen's Organisation has been kidnapping random people from the street to harvest their organs and selling them to the black market. So my dad made a deal with him, he will become my personal garbage cleaner that will also supply him with fresh organs regularly and as an exchange his organization needs to stop kidnapping people. It was a win-win deal, but I also made sure he wouldn't tell anyone about me."

"Did you give him a command using your ability?"

"I did, he won't be able to tell anyone even when he tries."

So this is why Chen was bleeding when he gave me those clues. I've been thinking about this possibility, but knowing that it's true still bothers me somehow. Chen was literally risking his life trying to tell me about Tin.

And Khun Jack... Of course I can easily think he did all of this to help his son and protect his family name. I understand, it must be so hard for him to raise a psychopath all alone while also keeping his family name clean. But after he lied to me with a smile on his face, somehow I felt something really unsettling about him.

"What's wrong? did I get you angry again somehow?" Tin asks me with a worried tone after I get silent for a second too long.

"No, not really, I mean... I've guessed all of that somehow... it's just... you tell your dad everything, don't you?" That's not fully what I want to say but I don't know how to say it without sounding like I suspect his dad of anything.

"Well, you have your brother, I have my dad."

"I did tell my brother many things, but not really everything. I will never tell my brother that you are a serial killer. My brother will surely never let me have any babies with you if he knew, don't care if you are an Enigma from the richest family in the country or not."

"Then thank you for not telling your brother."

"You're welcome." I said, but wait a minute, if he told his dad about his killing hobby, could he also tell his dad about... "You don't tell him the details about our sexual life, don't you?"

He laughed "Of course not. That's the only thing about me he doesn't want to know as long as I don't kill anybody during sex."

I lifted my eyebrow when I heard that "Did you ever kill anyone during sex?"

"NO! I was very careful when I had sex with anyone, some of them pass out because they can't take my big thing but I make sure all of them are alive." He immediately answered me

"You sure?"

"Very sure, but I did love to have sex after I killed people, though."

I widen my eyes "With random people?"

"Mostly with Ten when I still have him as my sex partner, but after he got married, yes with random people, you are one of them."

I never really thought about it before, even though I already know all the facts, but, suddenly it hit me, the first time we had sex was right after he killed someone. Somehow I had the urge to hit his shoulder repeatedly.

"Ouch... ouch... ouch... Why did you hit me?"

"It just angers me to think you killed someone right before you had sex with me for the first time."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know, it just upsets me."

He blinked a few times in confusion then said "Well... sorry, I guess..."

I scoff at his confused apology "Is that what your logic told you?"

"Yes... because you are angry, I have to say sorry."

I just spontaneously laughed seeing his desperate face.

"Why are you laughing now?"

"Your face looks so funny just now."

He looked confused at first but then smiled seeing me laughing "Whatever... as long as you are not angry anymore."

I smiled at him, but then the thought came to me "Will you be ok?"

"About what?"

"Well, you used to kill people, what? like twice a week? And now you won't do it anymore, will you be able to stay like that?"

He scoffed, "Are you seriously worried because I can't kill people anymore?"

"This is called empathy, sir, because I imagine what if it was me who can't do the things I like to do anymore."

"Well... thank you for worrying about me. But believe it or not it's harder for me to live without you than to live without killing people."

"Really?" somehow I feel flattered.

"Yeah, I can't absolutely live without your presence, evenmore without sex with you."

I hit him again after hearing his last sentence.

He laughed "If you really feel bad for me, you should let me play with your body more often. Just playing with your body for a whole day feels better for me than killing 5 people."

"Somehow I believe that. I can see how much you love tying me up and just do anything you want with my body."

"Glad you agree with me." he smiled wickedly and added "So... Can I play with your body more often?"

"We agree it will be twice a month."

"Can we make it 3 times a month?"

"No, besides, we are focusing on making me conceive, right now. When you play with my body you don't penetrate me at all, which doesn't help with the conceiving process."

"Oh, we can fix that real quick. I can penetrate you and cum inside you while we are doing the play. Maybe the next time we are playing the guessing game it was my thing inside you, not banana or cucumber."

I smacked his head when he said that and he just laughed.

"Stop being a pervert for a second can you?"

"There's nothing wrong being passionate about my future baby papa, right? Otherwise how are we going to make babies?"

"Just watch the road and keep driving."

TIN

He said that but I can see his face is flustered pink, a sign that he is actually pleased with my flirty words.

With a big smile on my face, I do as he told me, concentrate on my driving. We didn't have any more long conversations until we arrived home.

We agreed that tonight we will sleep at his new house, so when we arrived we went directly to his house, not mine.

He uses his key car to open the door and we both get in. The layout of this house is exactly the same as mine, because every house in this housing estate has the same layouts, but the interior is totally different.

Mine is just a simple monochrome minimalist. His house is more industrial modern with weird shaped furniture and unnecessary decorations. I look at Vel and I can see he's not really impressed with this design at all.

"My mama must be the one who has the idea about this interior design, she always thought this design is the most fit for me?"

"You don't like it?"

"I don't hate it."

"If you don't like it you can change it."

"No I can't, because then I will make my mama sad."

"Why?"

"Because that means I don't respect his choice."

"I don't understand, you are the one who will live here not your mama, so it should fit your taste, not hers. My dad will let me decorate my own room and house."

He sighs "Because I'm not a psychopath and my parents also don't raise one. Besides, I don't actually hate this interior design so it will be unnecessary to make my mama disappointed by changing it. That, Khun Pooh, is what we called empathy."

"So, now empathy is also about living with the thing we don't like just to not make people disappointed or sad?"

"Yes, it's always been like that."

"Huh, That's the same with what I did then, I live as a totally friendly and cheerful person even though in reality I hate people in general, and I did that because I don't want to bring a bad name to my dad."

"Well, that... has a completely different motivation to it."

"Hmm... I won't ask any further about it, this whole empathy thing always gives me a headache."

He sighs again "I figure."

"Let's see the bedroom." I take his hand and bring him to the main bedroom.

The bedroom has similar interior design as the rest of the house. But that doesn't bother me much, it has a king size bed and that's enough for me. Vel opens the wardrobe and it is already full with clothes: pajamas, loungewear and suits for him to go to work.

I looked around at the drawers around the bed and sigh disappointedly.

"They didn't prepare any lubes in this room." I said.

Vel gasps in surprise hearing that "Of course they won't! That is something we have to prepare by ourselves."

"But even hotels prepare some lubes and condoms for us."

"Hotels are not my parents."

"Yeah, but..."

"Go take a shower and prepare to sleep." He cut me before I even finished my sentence.

"Am I taking a shower alone?" I ask.

"Yes, you are." He pushed me to get inside the bathroom.

After I'm inside, he closes the door for me.

The bathroom is almost identical to my own. What is different is just the color of tiles and the amenities. The amenities here must be the product Vel usually uses. I don't mind what hygiene product I use, Vel uses mine all the time, it's my turn to use his.

When I'm about to take off my jacket, I feel the round box inside my pocket. I almost forgot I have something I have to give to him. With a big smile I pull out the box and open it. I wonder if he will like it or not.

I finish showering and come out from the bathroom only using my bathrobe. Vel is nowhere inside the bedroom. He prepared some pajamas for me on the bed. I put on my pajamas and put the box inside my pajamas pocket then come out to look for Vel. I heard his voice from the living room. I found him there, sitting on the sofa with his phone in his ear, already taking his own shower and changing into his pajamas.

"Yes, ma, I will, bye..." he talked to his phone, I guess he was on a call with his mama.

He cut his phone as I sat next to him and hugged him tight.

"Your mama?"

"Yeah... he just wants to make sure we are comfortable here."

"You don't tell her that you don't like her taste in interior design?"

"Nope."

"You don't ask her why she didn't prepare any lube near your bed?"

He hit my shoulder lightly when he heard my question.

"You have a lot of them in your house anyway." he said.

"You must have found them when you broke into my home and used my toys without my permission."

He hit me some more, this time because he was shy that I brought it up.

I laugh seeing his reaction "It's funny how you think my toys can satisfy you after you get used to my thing."

"Can you stop bringing it up?"

I laughed again and said "No, because now you know nothing can satisfy your sexual desire except me."

"Mmm..." he looked defeated "looks like I'll be stuck with you forever."

I smile widely hearing that "I'll be very happy to be stuck with you forever."

"Of course you will."

As he hugged me tighter, he felt the round box inside my pocket. Before I could stop him, he pulled out the box.

"What is this?" he asks with a curious look.

Before I can answer him he opens it.

He laughed seeing the content of the box "Nipple rings?"

"Yeah..." I took the box back from his hands, feeling a little bit disappointed because it didn't go as I planned "I should be the one who presented it to you."

"Sorry... I thought it was something else..."

I think for a second then got what he was expecting. "You thought it was engagement rings?"

"Yeah, I was so ready to say 'don't you think it was too fast, we are just about to announce the courtship tomorrow.'"

"That's also what I think, that's why for the official courtship gift, I was about to give you this."

He giggled seeing the nipple rings "You are so thoughtful, thank you."

"Glad you like it. It was a special order and I designed it myself."

"It's beautiful, though you will be the only one who can see it."

"That's my intention, the most beautiful Alpha in the world becoming mine so I give him the most beautiful gift that only I can see."

His face cringed when he heard what I say "That sentence, if anyone else hears it, will sound so creepy, you know?"

"I don't really care as long as you don't find it creepy."

"I did find it creepy, but I also don't care."

I was grinning hearing his answer. He really is my perfect match in anything.

"Will you put it on now?" I ask him.

He looked at the nipple ring and looked a bit hesitant "Will it hurt?"

"Well, I have plenty of experience helping my college friends put on their nipple rings, they said it did hurt, and it will take at least 3 months to completely heal and I can't ouch it at all for at least a month, BUT, I will personally take care of yours and make sure it won't cause too much discomfort for you."

He looked at the nipple rings again for a few seconds and thought in silence. In the end he said "Put it on me, please..."

I smile widely hearing his answer.

"Wait in the bedroom, take off your shirt and make yourself comfortable. I'll get the piercing kit from my car."

I quickly get up from the sofa, grab my car key, go to my car, grab the kit from my glove box and run back inside.

Vel is already sitting on the bed and in the process of unbuttoning his shirt. When he exposes his nipples, I look at it feeling a bit sad.

"Why do you look sad?" He managed to read my face, as usual.

"I won't be able to play with these beautiful nipples for a month" I answer.

He chuckles, "That will be another test for your patience."

"It will be a very long 1 month."

"Well, my kind doctor, if you are done feeling sad for not touching my nipples for the next month, you can start piercing my nipples and I can be done with the pain."

I sigh heavily, and look at the non-pierced nipples for the last time.

"See you in a month."

The piercing process is smooth and fast. He barely flinches and only makes a light groan when I pierce both his nipples. When both rings were placed it looked as beautiful as I imagined on his body. A month will surely feel so long, I can't wait to touch it, and play with it.

I narrate the after care to Vel like a good doctor. Don't touch it with dirty hands, don't wear something too tight, keep it clean and don't use any lotion or scented product on it.

"I'll help you clean it up every day to make sure the healing process will be faster." I sigh again "That will be the closest I'll get to your nipples for the next month."

He laughed again, "Just a reminder, it was your idea in the beginning."

"Yeah, but look at it, it's so beautiful and I can't even touch it yet."

He touched my face and brought it closer to his "Patience, Khun Pooh, all of me will be yours after all." Then he kissed me.

I smirk "Are you teasing me just now?"

"No, because your aunt said no more sex for today, so... let's go to sleep now."

He buttoned up his shirt back and I groaned in frustration. He kisses me, gets me excited and leaves me with nothing again. I know my aunt strictly forbids any sexual activities, at least for today, but still...

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Nope, that's still too soon."

"How about lunch break?"

"I won't be able to meet you, my brother told me I need to have my first lunch with the whole faculty staff to formally introduce myself."

Then it means I can only sex him again tomorrow night? I groan some more.

"Like I said, patience. It's something you can always learn, psychopath or not."

"Can you be less tempting for me, then?"

He giggled "No, I can't... that's why, let's just sleep."

He pulled up the blanket, we tucked ourselves under it comfortably. I haven't had any sleep for 2 days, so it's normal that the moment my head touches the pillow I feel sleepy.

But, something still lingered in my mind.

"When should I present you a box that consists of our engagement ring?" I asked him after we both settled on the bed.

"Hmm... why? Do you want to do it tomorrow or something?"

"No, I need to prepare for the event. After all, when I propose to you, the event has to be grander than any proposal."

He giggled again "Then I'll give plenty of time to prepare. Let's do it like this, an engagement after you knot me, and a wedding after I get pregnant."

I widened my eyes. "Looks like you've been planning it like that for some time."

"Well, we are on our way to make babies already, official courtship, engagement and wedding are just a silly Old Value tradition after all, we don't really need to rush them."

I laugh "Coming from someone who at the first date said wanted to follow the Old Value ways."

"Well, at that time I didn't know that we would be trying to have babies before the second family dinner. Now, we already got to this point so I don't see the need for all formalities."

"I guess I need to get you pregnant as soon as possible so I can quickly marry you."

"That's the idea."

"Don't worry, I'll marry you as soon as possible." I cuddled him closer as I said that.

He smiled hearing that.

"But we need to prepare the wedding as soon as we get engaged, so the moment you get pregnant we can do the wedding by the next day."

Ha laughed, "Sure, I also don't want to do all the preparation when I'm pregnant."

"Can we try on the tuxedo next weekend?"

"Nooo, that will be too soon."

We were just joking around about our wedding plans until both of us went to sleep.

Maybe because of what we were talking about before we went to sleep, I ended up having a very good dream. I dream about me and Vel having babies, a twin Enigma, a male and a female.

This dream is like that weird dream I had a few days ago, but what I feel in this dream is only happiness, no sadness at all. In the dream, both me and Vel were happily holding our babies. Vel's family is also in the room with us, equally happy with us.

But where is my dad? Why isn't he here with us? Even though it's just a dream, somehow I feel worried.
