AN:

1. This fan fiction is a tribute to Chan the Man aka Daddy Chan, the coolest and the most badass bodyguard of the Theerapanyakul main family and Khun Tankhun Theerapanyakul, the most fashionable and fabulous character that I love so~ much.
2. English is not my first language and my grammar is atrocious. Sorry in advance for any mistakes. This fanfic is un-beta'd, you've been warned.
3. I'm not native Thai and have never been to Bangkok before. I know nothing about the city or about the Thailand Football League. Everything in my fanfic comes from my imagination. I'm trying my hardest not to be offensive, but if I did, please correct me and please do it gently. Once again, please forgive me if I make any mistake.
4. This is a Rom-Com crack fanfic AU Nerd-Jock, I've had enough angst ().
5. I'm using almost the whole gang of KPTS characters in this fan fiction. I'm just borrowing them to play around.
6. In this story Vegas and Macau are NOT related to the Theerapanyakul boys.
7. I would say everybody is going to be slightly OOC, especially for Vegas and Kim, because they're growing up in a loving family.
8. This is my first fan fiction in this fandom, and the main pairing is so rare, so I don't even know if people are willing to give it a try or not. But if you do, I hope you enjoy it.
9. I'm using the last name of the actor that acted as Chan in this story and Vegas' middle name (Kornwit) as his family name.

Chapter 1

(Tankhun POV)

Tankhun Theeparanyakul was not an ordinary person, he has always been and will always be extraordinary. In high school, he was the best student. Some people call him a nerd but he was not just any geek. He's a super fabulous nerd with an unparalleled sense of fashion. The only reason why he is now dressed modestly is that the University Research Center where he worked as a senior researcher had a very strict dress code. But still, nobody can rock white long lab coat, black safety boots, and lab goggles like Tankhun. He added tasteful little ornaments here and there that are his trademark, like colorful goggles straps that always matchy-matchy with his socks, and nobody allowed to protest, including his boss, the super cool Miss Erica, who happened to adore him very much. And why shouldn't she? He was after all the Tankhun Theerapanyakul, who's goddamn fierce and of course fa~bulous with a capital F.

Born as the eldest of three children (all boys), Tankhun was naturally expected by his father to take over the supermarket chain which has been their family business for five generations. But Tankhun, who has been infatuated with science since childhood, firmly refused his father's request. Fortunately, his younger brother, Kinn – blessed his soul, the second child of the Theerapanyakun family, has a very high business instinct, and was able to prove to their father that he was the better choice to manage their family business. Meanwhile, Kim, the youngest, just like Tankhun, was not interested at all in business. He was a football maniac, who lives and breathes sports. He currently served as the football captain of the University team where he studied, learning Sports Science.

This morning, like the previous mornings in the last 5 years, Tankhun went to the Hattrick Coffee Shop to get his hot Americano that he has crowned as the best Americano. Well, at least from 16 coffee shops that are located in a 2 KM radius from the University Research Center. Tankhun could support his statement earlier scientifically, because he took things into his own hands by diligently taking the data samples from all 16 cafes to make the comparison at the laboratory. In case anyone wants to refute his claims, he still keeps the results of his 2 weeks intensive research in his desk drawer at the office.

At exactly 7.30 AM, Tankhun was already standing in the queue in front of the cashier. Unlike last week, no… not that long… even compared to the queue line two days ago, today's line was longer than usual. Tankhun glanced at the watch on his left wrist to confirm today's date. He had been so busy at the lab lately; he sometimes forgot the date. The experiment he was currently working on has occupied his mind and really kicks his butt.

Ah... July is almost ended. No wonder… Sigh…

If there's one thing Tankhun didn't like about the Hattrick Coffee Shop, this cafe is located right next to the stadium used by Bangkok Super FC as a training ground. When the season ends, the Hattrick is only visited by regulars, but once the new season starts, this cafe will be crowded by BSFC fanatic fans. And looking at the long queue today, it looks like the pre-season training for the most loved Bangkok football club has commenced. Tankhun was very grateful that no BSFC players had ever stopped by this small cafe, he couldn't imagine the chaos that would arise if they came here. Luckily, those fanatics only treated the Hattrick like a hang out place to wait for their idols to finish training, before they chase after their autographs or selfies.

But it seems like Tankhun spoke too quickly, because the figure standing right in front of him in the queue, was almost certainly, Tankhun 95% sure, a football player. The reason why he was so sure about it is because his younger brother is an athlete and a footballer. Although Kim is not a professional footballer, most football players have the same body shape and manner of movement as the result of their training. That's why, even though this man tried to cover his tall, muscular, very well-trained body, not to mention, bubble butt, by wearing loose track pants and an oversized hoodie, he couldn't really hide, at least not from Tankhun's sharp eyes.

He stared at the shapely back in front of him intensely, and maybe that is the reason why the footballer – allegedly – out of the blue turned his body half-way to steal a quick look at him. Tankhun gasped and couldn't believe his eyes. Of all the BSFC players who possibly stopped by this cafe, how could it be that it's the captain himself, Chan "Daddy" Knight? Who's none other than Kim's favorite footballer! Daddy Chan could try to hide his face behind the biggest and darkest sunglasses ever, but Tankhun never misses recognizing people, especially someone that important to his youngest brother.

Tankhun opened his black LV messenger bag, and slowly reached inside to take out his notebook and pen. He was still thinking about the best way to ask for Chan's autograph without attracting the attention of the other café regulars or God-forbid the football fanatics, when a voice heard from the bar.

"Next customer!"

Tankhun must have been so focused on this small matter that he didn't even notice that he was almost at the front of the line. In fact, it was Chan's turn to order his coffee. The researcher put-off his intention to ask for Chan's autograph right now and chose to wait until the footballer placed his order first. After all, you never stop someone from getting their first cup of coffee of the day.

He's a professional athlete, and the pre-season training has just begun. Logically, his coffee order can't be complicated, right?

Tankhun felt that he had found a good opening to break the ice before he started his mission. If Chan ordered a hot Americano like himself, then he would give him a compliment of his great taste in coffee before begging for his autograph.

I've got this in the bag!

"Caramel Frappuccino with double whipped cream and chocolate chips on top."

The scientist raised his head quickly, and gaped for a moment. The word shock cannot begin to describe how he felt at the moment, when he heard the coffee order from the great Captain of Bangkok Super FC. Tankhun was so close to open his mouth to ask the man himself, 'Are you fucking serious!?'

"Do you want extra caramel on top?" asked the barista.

Tankhun actually held his breath waiting for Chan's answer.

"No, just chocolate chips."

"Do you want anything else? A muffin maybe?"

"No."

"Okay, total 85 Bath."

Tankhun still didn't budge from where he was standing and still couldn't believe what had just happened in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he pictured his youngest brother's shocked face, and just like that, he started giggling. Oh, he tried … truly he tried to stop himself but he just couldn't. Kim really adores his favorite captain, and has always looked up to Chan as an example. Since he was 14 years old, Kim has been very careful about his diet and very disciplined with his exercise regime. He would say something like, 'I need to watch my diet like Cap to maximize my muscle mass.' or something like, 'I need to be like Cap and cut-off my sugar intake to attain a perfect body like him.'

If only you knew, 'lil brother, if only you knew~

Tankhun was still giggling when the barista called him.

"Sir? Sir, your usual?" asked the boy.

"Yes! Ehm… yes, please," Tankhun answered as he gave the boy 50 and then put 5 Bath in the tip jar.

"Thank you, Sir."

Tankhun moved to the side to wait for his coffee and found out that Chan was also still waiting for his complicated order. Thinking about that sweet concoction, to be honest, he wanted to laugh again, but this was a golden opportunity to ask for an autograph, because Chan was standing alone and there was no one really close around them. So, Tankhun tried his hardest to hold back his laughter and he succeeded, before moving closer to the captain.

"Do you mind signing this for my brother, Daddy Chan?" asked Tankhun in a super low voice as he pushed the notebook and pen that he had previously placed on the long table, towards Chan. For a moment, Tankhun felt like he heard a soft cheering sound from behind the big coffee machine, but then he ignored it, because he was pretty sure his voice wasn't loud enough to be heard.

"You must be mistaken for other people," Chan responded in his deep voice while looking left and right. It was clearly shown that he was worried other people would hear their conversation.

"Uhm, I don't think so, because you see… I'm rarely wrong," whispered Tankhun, who then pushed the notebook and pen toward Chan even closer.

Chan chuckled. "Oh, wow… such arrogance."

"Just stated the truth. Besides, I don't think I will miss recognizing a face that I've seen everyday for the past 12 years pasted on the wall of my brother's room. He's your biggest fans."

Chan looked a little hesitant, and once again looked to his left and right timidly, before finally picking up the notebook and pen that was lying on the table right beside his right elbow. Just as the captain was about to sign his autograph on Tankhun's notebook, the barista who prepared his Americano to perfection every day, walked up to Chan and shouted, "We're from the Hattrick Coffee Shop are very proud to present this Caramel Frappuccino with Double Whipped Cream and Chocolate chips on top for the best Captain in the country, Chan "Daddy" Knight!"

Fuck! Stupid 'lil shit!

It only took seconds and then chaos ensued.

"Daddy Chan?"

"Where? In here?"

"OMG! He's here! He's really here!"

"CAP!"

"Daddy~~~~"

"DADDY CHAN!"

Like magic, all the football fanatics who were in the cafe, immediately stood up and ran towards Chan, holding their cellphones to take picture after picture while shouting and screaming, some of them even starting to sing the BSFC's chants.

In under 60 seconds, fans managed to surround Chan. Requests for autographs and selfies poured in immediately.

"Cap! Please sign my jersey!"

"And mine too, please~~~"

"Daddy~~~ please take a selfie with me!"

"Daddy Chan, please smile and look at the camera!"

"CAP!"

As the person who stood closest to the captain, Tankhun of course got caught up in the crowd. It was a miracle that he managed to retrieve his notebook, it was a LV too, thank you very much. At first, Tankhun decided to forget about his coffee and just leave immediately, but he went to this cafe every single day to get his caffeine intake and he refused to leave the Hattrick without his Americano.

"Hey, boy, my coffee!" yelled Tankhun to the barista who couldn't do anything but stare at the chaos before his eyes. Luckily, the other barista had finished making his order. He quickly grabbed his Americano and carefully escaped from the crowd.

Seconds before walking towards the exit, Tankhun turned around to see Chan's condition, and it wasn't very good. The sunglasses he had worn earlier were gone, and the hoodie cap no longer covered his head. Tankhun winced.

And yes, of course, Tankhun felt a bit guilty, he's not heartless, but what could he do? After all, his schedule was very tight today and there was a very important experiment in the lab that needed his expertise. So, he can't be late.

As Tankhun was leaving the Hattrick, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a tall foreign man who was wearing a tracksuit, enter the café. Not long after that, a super loud shout was heard from inside the cafe.

"DIO MIO, CHAN!"

"SHIT! COACH, HELP ME~!"

Tankhun walked toward the University faster, so fast he's literally running.
